Here are the top seven spookiest places across America. While California may not seem like an unsettling place, it is home to one true ghost town. Bodie, California was originally a mining town in the late…

Honest Horror I am eager to witness the horrors within “America’s scariest” that the masses raved about. Not having a reservation, I am forced to sneak around the attentive guard. The charcoal black suit with legs intimidates all who enter. Luckily, the bouncer stares mindlessly at the black cellular device within his tight grasp as if he guarded that rather than the entrance. In his moment of blindness I manage to duck underneath the red rope stanchions into the exuberant crowd. After…

Wanta 1 Joel Wanta Mr Nagis World History 10/20/15 The Downfall of Napoleon Napoleon was a great general, but his greatest fault came from inside. “Napoleon, supreme egoist that he was, ignored the significance of the omens until he and his host were completely and irrevocably committed to an undertaking that was doomed. Never did the gods punish hubris more severely.” (Kroll 117) As said by M. Duke of Fezensac, a professional solider and officer, while talking about Napoleon’s march on…

“A Doll's House” is a three-act play in prose written by Henrik Ibsen in 1879. A Doll House is about a women named Nora Helmer. She is the wife of Torvalds Helmer, and the mother of his children. 8 years before the play is set, Nora takes out loan for a trip to Italy to save her husband’s life.

During the story, Nora struggles to hide what…

In Henrik Ibsen's A Doll’s House, several of the characters hide their true identity as well as events that have taken place throughout their life. It can be interpreted that the title holds significance in the actions of the characters. Many view a doll house as an imaginary world that is free to manipulation. Thus, the title can be considered to be a prelude to the deeper dilemmas within the play itself. In the play, one of the first characters that is introduced is Nora Helmer. The…

Since “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” is another version of “Resurrection Mary” there are some differences in the events in each of the stories plot. For example, in “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” the text never specifies where Carol’s ghost was coming from. The text said “And it was after dusk when we first saw her. I know it was dark, 'cause I remember first seeing her in the lights ahead. Neither Herbert nor I spoke. He slowed down, and the girl stopped walking. She just stood there on our…

First, the most obvious point to prove that Torvald is motivated to control Nora for the sake of his reputation is the way that he treats her. He feels he must control her so that she will look and act how he wants and not spoil any of his reputation. Torvald sees Nora as a doll, hence the book title. He likes to dress her up to suit his fantasies towards her. One example of this is when he has her dress up as a Capri fisher girl and dance the Tarantella to arouse him. When she dances it too…

As what we discussed in the last two responses, the author of the chronicle was a writer who mixes his own emotion in his book. As a leader from Christian side, King Richard is clearly praised by the author in two main aspects: a wise king and an outstanding general. First of all, the author still takes delight in talking about Richard’s methods of being a king. Richard was appointed the king after his father, King Henry’s death. On the “Egyptian” day, King Richard invited numbers of guests to…
