No, no!" Steven shouted. He flung the covers off in a frenzy, sitting up in bed, cold sweat running down his skin. His panting echoed in the dark room, and eventually died in the silence. Tears silently raced down the boy's cheeks and he whimpered, trying to settle back into his covers. The gems had left on a night mission, leaving Steven to sleep, but a vivid nightmare had woken the boy and he hiccuped softly. He squeezed his eyes shut, silently willing the nightmares to go away, until he felt…

The second class within the society consisted of Beta’s. Beta’s were mostly in the story for their looks and their kind of ‘full of themselves’ or…

be and expression his believes of matter and spirit. Mondrian’s blues, yellows, pinks, and reds were inspired by Fauvism. “In forest scenes he emphasized the linear undulation of saplings; in shore and seascapes, the intense, flowing colors of sand dunes and water” (Arnason 263). Sometimes he would paint objects in the style of Van Gogh and the oddest color arrangement inspired by the Neo-Impressionists. Mondrian also used oval canvas inspired by the…

But I have got to admit; growing fish in the desert is not much of a tradition. I have always associated deserts to sand dunes, camels and mirages fooling thirsty explorers. How is it possible growing fish right in the middle of the Sonoran desert and why is that important for Tucson?…

The food that I will eat when I grow up with be mice, other rodents, fox, small birds, insects, and even rabbits. But since I am small now, I only eat worms and berries. When I am older I will have to use my claws to…

In Ian McEwan’s Atonement, the ending of the novel reveals the differences between Briony Tallis’s literary fictions and reality. In the final section of the book, “London, 1999,” it is revealed to the reader that the entire novel was written by Briony in an attempt to atone for the wrongful accusation that she gave as a child. She aims to do so by coming out with the true story. This can be seen in her earlier statement that “[s]he knew what was required of her. Not simply a letter, but a new…
