Reading A Picture of Dorian Gray was very moving. I really enjoyed the writing and literary style; it is very similar to classical pieces and has a lot of detail, wonderful imagery, and refreshing vocabulary choices. It also has a very mystical sense to it, so real yet so unreal,…

Rampant fires and firestorms consumed forests and cities long ago, and everyday continue to demolish what was once taken for granted.…

Their howl kinda sounds like a dog barking but theirs is much longer and louder.Sometimes one wolf could start howling and then the pack here's it and they could all start howling back. Gray wolves eat deer. Wolves also like to eat…
