Robin Hood has been a wonderful novel to read. Reading about how Robin and his merry men try to help the less fortunate and running away from the sheriff is very interesting to read about. Robin Hood always meets his men in a unnatural way. Robin Hood meets one of his best merry men by fighting him, which is Little John. Little John is a big man who always has Robin Hood’s back. Many people look at Robin Hood and his merry men as bad guys and some look at Robin as a great man helping people…

The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy expand on the best of existing standards and mirror the skills and information students will need to succeed in school, vocation, and life. Seeing how the standards contrast from past standards and the vital movements they call for is crucial to actualizing the standards well. This is my second year implementing the Common Core ELL standards. I did as such by planning a rich educational module and dealing with my classroom in…

the world. Contrastingly to Zeena is Mattie who brings a constant sense of being alive and euphoric to everything. So much so that it is said that “Every yard of the road was alive with Mattie’s presence, and there was hardly a branch… or tangle of brambles… which some bright shred of memory was not caught” (Wharton 121). Mattie’s infectious spirt and positive, alive outlook on life influences everything around her. Ethan saw her “hopeful young life was like the lighting of a fire on a cold…

Seventeen years determine the age gap between my oldest sibling and me. Being the youngest of four and the sibling closest in age to me is still five years older, I felt like I was on my own. By the time I was finally aware of my surroundings and in need of guidance and advice from my wise older siblings, they had already started their lives and left me to become my own person and make my own mistakes. My parents strived to achieve the American dream; they worked long, irregular hours resulting…

love for Mattie. On Mattie’s last day, in an attempt to avoid Zeena, Ethan went out to town. While he was travelling, he realized “every yard of the road was alive with Mattie’s presence, and there was hardly a branch against the sky or a tangle of brambles on the bank in which some bright shred of memory was not caught...the call of the bird in the mountain ash was so like her laughter that his heart tightened and then grew large; and all these things made him see that something must be done at…

ds daggers, and other weapons of farming community. They would slay the knights who came here. That was a certainty. They smiled grimly to themselves as they prepared for battle. They would first use their arrows, spears and stones to stop the knights. Than it would become armed conflict, they knew how to use their weapons of choice. They learned this as they learned to breath. The people were worried – no terrified. Saw the shadows of them by the full moon. The leader rider seemed to be a head…

Is the knowledge of the future beneficial? In both Macbeth and Harry Potter, Macbeth and Voldemort, the antagonists, become aware of their own futures through prophecies.

Thick layers of hard snow covered the ground, easily supporting the weight of the fluffy red fox as it wandered through the forest in search of prey. As a fresh blanket of snow began to fall, the firm snow the fox was effortlessly padding through quickly began to soften. The air was cold enough that the warm breath of the fox created a small billow of fog around his muzzle, but the fox paid no mind to the bitter temperature. A long, heavy coat of auburn fur served well in keeping the fox warm.…

Strout achieves this empathetic sense by using long detailed and descriptive sentences, a healthy mix of cumulative and periodic which explore and bluntly state…
