Snapshots for Don. Start of the fun Sue (my wife) and I were sitting in the coffee shop with our long-time friend Liz having our weekly coffee. We usually met up every Thursday evening just to catch up on things with Liz and her husband. Liz was by herself that day because her husband, (Don) was across the world. Don’s job involved him going off for six months at a time and then getting a month off. Don was working as an engineer in the oil patch in northern Russia, and had already worked one…

under attack. Iron Man began telling citizens to back away; avengers were here to help.

Imagine competing as a professional bodybuilder, walking out on stage in front of thousands of people tanned, oiled, and in a speedo just to show off your muscles and your hard work. That's who Arnold Schwarzenegger is. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most iconic names ever in the fitness industry, but how did this Austrian man come to America and become a legend? He is said to be the best bodybuilder ever to live and in my opinion he is the best. Arnold is an inspiration to males and…

From 1947 to 1952, European nations experienced a time of massive growth. The Plan aimed to repair the economic and political damages from the war. The plan was a response to American concerns that communist parties were growing stronger across Europe and that the Soviets might intervene. The Marshall Plan also…

“What the world fails to realise is a villain is just a victim whose story hasn’t been told” (Colfer.) This quote comes from Chris Colfer and I think it should be in the back of everyone’s mind when reading or watching a villain’s behavior and actions.

A Streetcar Named Desire and Frozen mainly focus on the actions of characters and their conflicts. Two girls Stella and Anna are the main protagonists in both…
