Another element I picked up are other characters, and what goes with their voice. I hypothesize that there is a respectable amount of stage acting in it, to…

    Douglas Horton once said, “ While seeking revenge, dig two graves-one for yourself.” Revenge is an interesting topic, and many people have many different takes on it. However, revenge is almost always detrimental to all parties involved. In Edgar Allen Poe’s “Cask of the Amontillado”, Montresor seeks revenge against Fortunato who has wronged him in the past.

    The poem “A Poison Tree” and the story “The Cask of Amontillado” are similar in that the main characters portray a sense of fake friendliness, and instead they secretly plot their harmful intentions in their heads; both main characters get revenge on their enemies; and ultimately the end result of their actions correspond to each other. These pieces of literature do a great job at showing the effects of allowing one’s anger to grow. One similarity that these two pieces share are how the main…

Athletics are a big part to most universities and students’ life. Either they love to participate or some love to go and cheer their peers and colleagues on.

    imaginative ideas. When I was 10, my dad and I were at a local Target, when I stumbled upon a game called Portal 2 that taught me a very valuable skill: puzzle solving. In Portal 2, you play as a silent protagonist named Chell, whose goal is to escape from Aperture Science, a testing facility run by a rogue AI named GLaDOS.
