Nora is a round character because she has a very complex personality and her character becomes more complex as the story progresses. At the beginning of the story Nora seems to be completely happy and content with her life. She is…

It was successful in uniting the many independently controlled states into one unified kingdom known as Italy, and was influenced by many means including Camillo…

were multilingual, remarkably, Roosevelt knew six languages and wrote thirty-six books. Modern-day presidents are known for being family oriented, oddly enough when Roosevelt moved to the White House it had been years since children resided there.

The Christmas tree represents happiness and joy. It’s…
