lots of figurative language that makes the readers have lots of images in their minds. In the simile “There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame,” (“Sound Thunder” 1) an image is created in the reader's mind because the sound is compared to a gigantic bonfire. In “The Sound of Thunder”, there are many things that are compared to other objects and also described with many details. This helps…
It was really fun, because that night, I was so surprised knowing that I am the only girl in the group, still I’m the only one who can make the bonfire. Them boys don’t know how to set it to make a big bonfire for our camp night. When were done preparing, we just sit around it and talks about everything, we sing, and we made smores. During our last day there, our told us to try some new things, we are really unsure if we…
TianMen with a few friends to look over the site in person. After arriving, we got in touch with the manager of this scenic spot. The manager showed us a flat piece of grassland that could be used to set tents and a wasted parking lot that could set bonfire. As we were excited about the available space, the manager turned around and told us that although they had accepted campers before, camping was not a formal attraction there. So they couldn’t offer any facilities like tents and sleeping…
meat, which made my mouth watered with hunger. While the sun went down my dad started to set up a bonfire. I had never seen one before so I was really excited.

In that moment I realized this would be perfect time to make s’more and they were delicious. After that my family gathered around the bonfire the mood called for ghost stories. We all…
I remember before the trip we all got matching t-shirts. On the shirt, it had the map on it. I remember looking at the map and the track was only six inches long, and thinking this won’t be hard it’s not that long of a track; but boy was I wrong. I’ve never really been camping or even hiking before this. Everyone thought I was crazy for doing this trip but I wanted to do it. I wanted the adventure and the story that would come out of this. I never imagined how much this would change me.…
During the Middle Ages, religion in the form of Catholicism dominated the lives of all citizens, rich and poor, because the Catholic Church was a larger and more powerful organization that most of the governmental structures that existed at the time; the Church had abundant land and financial resources, giving it a great amount of political power. At the time, most Europeans lived in relatively small communities with top-down hierarchies headed by a landowner or king. This system, known as…

Three attributes the Nazis found dangerous enough to censor are the books “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Ernest Hemingway, “The Call Of Wild” by Jack London, and “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair.

From Document four it states that “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Ernest Hemingway is about “The protagonist, Jordan, fights on the side of the left-leaning Republicans against the right-wing fascists, and witnesses the…
Death in Dark Souls II is one of the major feedback loops in the game. The player is reduced to zero health, becomes hollowed, drops all souls being carried, a bloodstain is left where the player died at, and then respawns at the last visited bonfire. The player then can go retrieve their lost souls by making it back to the bloodstain. The only random factor in the game is who will invade the player. Players can be invaded as long as they are playing online and are not hollowed. If these…
