Prior to the plane’s crash, Whip was only viewed as having leadership skills in which he possessed “the ability to use one’s…

opened and poured out upon the ocean. Waves like mountains rose up around us playing with the ship as if it were a ball; throwing us one way and tossing us back the next. The crew were desperately trying to follow orders but the screaming wind and crashing thunder made it almost impossible to hear even the loudest of commands and the violence of the heaving sea made it even harder for them to obey. In the flare of a jagged flash of lightening I watched helplessly as a man was catapulted over…

with at the moment and as you continued to add more flowers to the bunch in your hand, the trail seemed to be leading towards the beach. The strong scent of salt started to consume the air around you as you stepped onto the sand, out looking the crashing waves. The flowers Parrish left weren’t metres apart anymore, there were now only inches apart. You quickly took your socks and shoes off as you love to feel the sand under your feet and tucked them under your arm, following the flowers until…

Roanoke Voyages When an individual thinks about the Roanoke voyages, the one that usually comes to mind is the third voyage, more formally known as “The Lost Colony”. However, there were two other voyages that lead up to this particular voyage. All of the voyages of Roanoke were settlements on the Northern Coast of North American or present day North Carolina. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh convinced Queen Elizabeth I to provide funding to set sail and travel to the new world. The first voyage was…

Painted in 1891 by Paul Gauguin, “Tahitian Women” (also known as “Tahitian Women on the Beach”) is very popular oil on canvas painting. It features both bold vibrant colors, as well as many subdued tones. Other notable aspects of this painting include its visual texture, the people portrayed, and the overall subject matter. Although there may be some story behind this artwork, it is up to the viewer to decide what they believe the piece is about. Focusing on the colors, it is obvious that some…

The piercing cold of the dungeon makes the pleasantly hot day outside feel like a distant memory. The faint glow of the torches down every hall is the only thing keeping the darkness and the atmosphere from becoming pitch black. The overwhelming stench of decaying bodies, rotting food, as well as rat and human feces can be recognized even before entering. Down in the nearby cell, the most recent inhabitant was either discharged or more likely executed a short while ago. Even under the lack of…

People have twisted, tweaked and bent the legends of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle in so many ways, that people don’t know what to believe anymore. Maybe it’s a whirlpool that suck you in, or, better yet, it’s some kind of gravitational pull that pulls the ships and planes down to the bottom of the ocean. Everything that scientists have come up with are reasonable, all except for one…
