Humans are made in God’s image and likeness so human life is…

Contrasting to popular belief, change is actually one of…

On the other hand, Emily Dickinson has a slightly different look comparing hope to an undefeatable bird. The theme they have in common is hope, though it is described In different ways it has similar qualities. In Charlotte Bronte’s poem, “Life” she explains life will not be perfect, you will wake…

1 My favorite character in Dorothy Must Die would probably be Nox. Nox was one of those characters that you really didn’t learn much about until the end of the story.
