Child of Dandelions by Shenaaz Nanji is a story of a girl forced to leave her home in a limited amount of time. Dance of the Banished by Marsha Skrypuch is a story of two lovers being separated during war times, with only a journal and unread letters connecting them. Both stories made the protagonist face against society, making them deal with events that eventually made them a stronger person in the end. While both books were well written, Child of Dandelions had overall stronger plot…

Story’s can be vastly different yet certain aspects and foundations can be eerily similar. For instance, almost every character faces some form of development. Characters can remain flat or unaltered morally but one element in their story has undoubtedly changed. Siddhartha follows the development of a young man seeking spiritual enlightenment, who discovers himself through his travels and mentorships. In Beowulf, the titular character and warrior travels to fight and defeat Grendel the monster,…

Directed by F.W. Murnau, Nosferatu: a Symphony of Horror, and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, are silent films originated from the 1920's. Throughout Sunrise, two young lovers rekindle their romance while Nosferatu is a horror adaptation of Bram Stoker’s, Dracula. While they differ in genre, both are similar in that they consist of a young couple who encounter a threatening situation. The element of space becomes an interesting aspect relevant to both films as it helps to foresee the events of…

Treasure Island, a novel written in 1883 by Robert Louis Stevenson, was adapted into a family friendly movie by Disney in 2002 called Treasure Planet. Despite the names, there are many other differences that set the two apart. Treasure Island’s vivid theme, plot, setting, and list of characters was much more superior than that of Treasure Planet. Most of the characters from the novel remain in the film version but have been altered in some way. The others are simply absent. Jim Hawkins…

When I think of what makes Oregon different in the wine industry, my thoughts are of smaller family owned farms, artisan wines, Oregon’s reputation for being weird and independent, and views on organic farming and sustainability for future generations (Yates, 2016). When I want to partake in some wine tasting, I stay clear of the big wineries, for example, Ponzi in Sherwood, OR and set my sights for unique and smaller wineries, such as White Rose. Smaller wineries are great storytellers and…

The eight chapter of Godric consists of his encounter with Roger Mouse. Mouse knows Godric as “Gudericus,” (44) but the name is too much for Mouse; therefore, he calls Godric as “Deric” (44). He lied to Mouse about his name because of Cuthbert saying, “Do Good” (44). Godric and Mouse are living the unholy life with their greed; they stole a ship from an elderly and began to sell their goods that they transported. They even recruit a plethora of pilgrims onto their shop and stole from them as…

Throughout literature it can be seen that many characters from different works resemble one another greatly. An example of this can be noted in two writings that we have recently studied. In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein the monster portrays signs of sorrow, loneliness, and anger; traits often seen in John Gardner's character Grendel. John Gardner's portrayal of Grendel throughout the novel seems to be unhappy and constantly questioning his life. Many times Grendel would clearly express…

When most people think of “Fishing” their minds usually picture something along the lines of some old man sitting on the end of a dock, drinking has six pack of natty lite, with a lip full of grizzly wintergreen, holding a beat up $10 push button reel, dropping a live worm down hoping to catch a little bream. Right there is where most people are wrong. There is more ways to fish other than just poking a hole through a worm and waiting for hours to have the chance to catch a small fish. Bank…

Simpler than eukaryotes, but complex compared to bacterial cells, Archaea are single celled microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but more closely related to Eukaryotes when it comes to molecular organization. They are believed to have evolved before Eukarya and after Bacteria which can be proved by microfossils traces, biomarkers, and more. Archaea at first seemed very similar to Bacteria, and many were categorized as such. Only later was the new domain…
