love with Katrina and always scared off any man who would talk to her. Ichabod later disappeared, people believed he was taken by the headless horseman, and that left Brom to be able to marry Katrina. In “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” Washington Irving kind of wrote the story in a very funny form, but also in the story there is not a good view of humanity. Indeed humanity does not have to be viewed as pink roses, because the truth is that individuals are not nice and they are all different.…

Bud, Not Buddy Modern Era Bud, Not Buddy, is read all over the country because of the Great Depression, but if it was written in today's times, that would not be the case. If this story was written in the modern era a lot of things would be different. Bud's mother wouldn't have died, Bud would've had more knowledge about Hooverville, and Bud would have been able to find Herman E. Calloway's exact location. I think the changes in this story would make it a lot more eventful. If this story was…

Thomas Hardy’s quote. The quote reads, “Nothing bears out in practice what is promises incipiently”. Thomas Hardy’s quote relates to a numerous amount of events in A Prayer For Owen Meany mostly with how John’s life starts to unravel.

In “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving, was Written in 1820. It was a great book that caught the attention of many people for its thriller theme. When in 1949, Walt Disney decided to make a replica of the book calling it “The Adventures of Ichabod Crane and Mr. Toad”. Both stories are similar in certain ways but the movie just doesn't show Irvings Dark Romanticism side. Besides you can differ the movies plot and the books plot very easily.

Jeroboam is the fake mother in the story because he accepted a divided kingdom.Moses and David represent the real mom who doesn’t accept half a child.

The man named Nabal is just one example of someone who does not believe David has honor, which he displays and then surprisingly, his household does not act in accordance with his position. Why do Nabal’s men and wife Abigail go behind Nabal’s back to appease David, when that is the exact opposite of what Nabal does as the head of the household? The main…

There are a large amount of events that have happened in history that have either shaped who you are as an person or our country as a whole. In eighth grade we learned about the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, slavery, the Constitution, etc. One of the many things we learned about in eighth grade was slavery which has impacted me the most. To think that people were owned by other people to work for them for very little money is heart breaking. Many people think that slavery ended in 1865…

The article I will be evaluating is “Evaluating King David: Old Problems and Recent Scholarship” by David A. Bosworth.

The article addresses the controversies of King David. The Books of Samuel have caused the reputation of King David to come under question. The consequences to King David’s reputation have been caused by…
