Exhibit Review 1 Introduction The air is cold and damp, one can hardly discern the forms of men in the dimly lit shaft, the silence is almost deafening, yet the silence speaks of hard labor, sweat, dirt, and fear.

According to the AHS website, the society was “established by an Act…

The memory of September 15th, 1963 is still persistently clawing at my consciousness, every day reminding me of how grateful I am to be alive. Although, I would have never guessed that I would still remember every waking detail so clearly nearly 14 years later. I often catch myself waking up in a pool of sweat feeling the heat radiating off of my scarred skin from the previous years of nightmares. Every now and then I can even smell the burning of my flesh as i did for weeks upon weeks after the…

In the year of 1861, in the midst of America’s Civil War, Congress authorized one of the most ambitious projects that the country had ever envisioned: the construction of a transcontinental railroad. At one end of this immensely long railroad system which was planned to be over 1,700 miles long __ was the Central Pacific Railroad which stretched across the lands of California, the harsh granite walls of the Sierra Nevada and onwards to connect with the Union Pacific in Utah. Through my research…

The putrid smell of burning flesh, the piercing screams arising from the gas chambers, and the emaciated skeletons wandering the hellish grounds was the reality for those who passed through the gates of Auschwitz.

These camps became the site of the largest mass murder the world has ever seen (Auschwitz). Conditions in Auschwitz…

Nuclear Power Nuclear power is a very controversial topic. While there are clear benefits to this type of energy, there have been devastating incidents with very high death rates. Radiation, a by-product of nuclear power, is a very dangerous side-effect that comes along with nuclear power. Though it is used in many positive ways, such as in health procedures, it is harmful to human tissue. The consequences of using nuclear power need to be thoroughly examined before a decision is made. The…

Many stories are told through the perspective of one omnipresent narrator, the perspective one character, or even an unreliable narrator. These styles emphasize the views and opinion of one character, one side of the story being told. In Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion, Ondaatje uses an unconventional style of narration to tell the untold stories of the working class and immigrants who built the country, to give immigrants a voice they do not have in the past, and to recreate how…
