For decades school system have been teaching students to believe we have evolved from monkeys which is known as the Charles Darwin Theory of Evolution. I feel there is a problem with that because of people’s different religious views. Many believe that there is a God that created everything around us include us. School systems shouldn’t teach this because although the popular belief it isn’t confirmed and is still only a theory. Adding on, there are no fossil records that prove that we evolved…

The theme of “A Christmas Carol” is be careful about how you act in your lifetime because it will affect how people feel abut you later on in life. The three passages that I have chosen to help me relate to the three sprits is STAVE II, STAVE III, STAVE IV. The first of the three sprits met by scrooge is the ghost of Christmas past, and this spirit symbolizes truth. Scrooge’s family brings him home from boarding school, but suddenly send him off to apprentice as an accountant. (S.2 P.53)…

By: Zoë Campbell Throughout history, the use of images have been to support themes, help develop the plot, aid in a variety of literary devices throughout the work, and to engage the audience in the piece of writing. In Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities, he uses a variety of images to create and solve mysteries and to foreshadow future events in the novel. Three major images in the novel that recur over and over again are footsteps, recalled to life, and letters…

In 771 it is stated that Charlemagne’s brother became ill and passed away, and Charlemagne was “unanimously elected,” (p.27) which says to me that he had found favor among those who had elected him. I believe that he was a good leader at the time of his existence, considering times were much different. He was relentless and pushed tirelessly forward until he was satisfied; such as the battle he fought with King Desiderius in which Charlemagne “exhausted the King, and forced him to surrender at…

In the 1999 passage, “Retelling Experiments: H.B.D. Kettlewell’s Studies of Industrial Melanism in Peppered Moths” author, Joel B.

Kettlewell solved persisting loopholes in Darwin’s theory of natural selection by conducting several experiments using peppered moths. Kettlewell’s research is widely discussed in biology classes today, yet there is often deviation in how the…

The readings this week, “Twas the Night before Christmas: A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore, “Cajun Night Before Christmas” by Howard Jacobs, and “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” by Francis Pharcellus Church are all based upon the belief of Santa Claus. I can recall the days when I was younger and had the same beliefs mentioned in the three readings. I also remember the time when I was questioning my belief just like Virginia. I like the way the poems bring me back to a…
