The biome that my partner, Emerald Hailger, and I chose for our project was the freshwater aquatic biome—rivers/streams.

On a cold, dark, night, Sir Charles Baskerville was walking alone down an alley. Creeping up behind him was the Hound of the Baskervilles. Sir Charles turned and saw the horrible hound.

Both George and Martha state the theme of illusion versus reality, the most important theme of the play, explicitly in Act III of the play. Martha is horrified at the prospect of facing life without illusions, but George is not – the…
