Into Thin Air, a journalistic view novel by Jon Krakauer, tells of the May 1996 tempest that ominously shadowed Everest, leaving all on the summit oblivious as the storm’s winds growl from a short distance below them. On May 11th when the storm attacked at its full strength, it would leave eight people dying during their summit attempt…

Although Wordsworth and Dunbar appear to call on their deceased elders, Milton and Douglass respectively, to solve their different woes with society, they instead seek refuge in a plea for living person to solve their modern problems using old wisdom. The speakers in both poems differ in regards to the reason behind their motivation to call their late role models. In the poem “London, 1802,” William Wordsworth agonizes over the idea that morals and creativity in England have deteriorated.…

As The Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe once stated, “Every traitor belongs to me as my lawful prey and that for every treachery I have a right to a kill,” (Quotev).

Edmund’s only hope was the strength of his family and friends, and even that of a lion named Aslan. There was a profound strain on each Prime Minister during World War Two. Britain had…

I don’t think that Lizzie Borden murdered her father and stepmother because she’s not brave enough and her family was really good people. The family attended the Congregationalist church an institution in which Lizzie was particularly involved.
