two literary devices allows the reader to fully submerse themselves in a story that feels authentic, as when he describes “ the clear night, [where] bright stars descend all the way to the horizon, and before dawn, a band of black appears beyond the peaks, as if one could see past the earth’s horizon into outer space,” (Matthiessen 71). The numerous use of descriptive adjectives gives the reader a glimpse of the image that he is describing, and Matthiessen’s poetic nature brings the image to…

Throughout school I have learned about the cruelty and unjust punishments that the Jews have faced during the holocaust. The book has served to reinforce my bias of the cruelty of the Nazis.

conduct controlled studies of the long-term adverse effects of PEDs in normal volunteers, especially when using supraphysiologic doses", because, "these uncontrolled human studies are subject to inherent methodologic limitations including selection bias” (Pope 341).
