“He was a blond, spiritless man, anaemic, and faintly handsome. When he saw us a damp gleam of hope sprang into his light blue eyes, mingling immediately with the cement colour of the walls. A white ashen dust veiled his dark suit and his pale hair as it veiling everything in the vicinity, except his wife, who moved close to Tom” The quotes above illustrates that, Wilson is not a man of physical dominance like Tom as he is described as Anaemic.

Buster shot his head up with a loud snort, shifting from hoof to hoof, spooked by the call of a predator. "Calm down, Buster. Easy there," Aerith cooed, grasping onto the rein and tugged, gesturing him to lower his head while stroking his neck. When Buster had calmed down significantly, more howls joined the first one, each sounding closer and louder than the last. If that chorus of cries is the cue to leave the area, Aerith didn't need to be told twice. "We got to go." With haste, the brunette…

David Matthew’s essay ‘Pick One’ is an eloquent essay filled with imagery, symbolic language and sensory details that bring the reader into Matthew’s world, but is lacking in some structural aspects and leaves the reader without a satisfactory conclusion. His vocabulary notwithstanding, Matthew’s essay is spectacularly descriptive and easily conveys the atmosphere he felt as a child as he takes his readers through the experience he is sharing.

Nevertheless, it is certainly not impossible. My mom was born in Arizona and she, along with her mom, attended the same high school that I do. One…

Books are made into movies for many reasons. It can be to help a reader understand the book better, or simply for entertainment. A movie producer cannot fit every single thing from a book into a movie, so often, viewers who have read the novel notice many differences between the two. The Lord of the Flies is not exempt from this, so there are many things that were changed between the book and movie, even though they are the same. Even, though, the characters, beast, mood, and many other…

Contrary to popular belief, many do not trust the claim that Christopher Columbus was the first to step foot on the Americas. In fact, records show that “blond-bearded Norse seafarers from Scandinavia chanced upon the northeastern shoulder of North America about 1000 A.D.” (pg. 11 Kennedy, D. M., & Cohen, L. (n.d.). The American pageant) And although there is no factual evidence, it is also surmised that…
