The book “Call of the Wild”, in my opinion, was an outstanding book so far.

Here Buck has been sold around to be a sled dog. Buck is sold to two men named Perrault and Francois. These two men are heading towards Dawson ( a city rich in yellow metal) with a sled team of dogs. Buck was a sled dog. As you know it takes more than one…

entered the authors who rejected it. Their ideology, shocking to those of their time, ultimately led to the creation of a nation-wide literary movement. The roots of this movement took place during 1944 near Columbia University, with the meeting of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs; the formation of this clique being fueled by a passion for writing, poetry, and a distaste for conformity (The Beat Page). Soon, this group would expand to include other names, such as Neal…

The Klondike Gold Rush My book is about a story called white fang. The book is about a boy named Scott and a hybrid wolf dog named, White Fang. The story takes place in the 1890’s in Alaska, during the Klondike Gold Rush. The start of the book shows how hard life in Alaska was during this time. There was freezing weather, hardly any food, and most people made their own rules and laws. When someone died, they had to carry the body out of the wilderness because the ground was to frozen to bury…

I chose the book Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper Case Closed By Patricia Cornwell. This book is published by Berkley Books in 2002 and has 383 pages.

This book goes into great detail explaining how Walter Sickert and Jack the Ripper are similar. This book begins by setting the date as Monday, August 6th , 1888 and in London.

The constellation I have chosen to study for this assignment is that of Lupus. Lupus is Latin for “wolf” and is located in the southern hemisphere and was one of the 48 original listed by Ptolemy, a second century astronomer, despite previously being an asterism associated with Centaurus. In mythology, it is thought that Lupus represents the African dog of the first King of Arcadia. It wasn’t until Ptolemy called the constellation “Lupus” that the constellation was associated with the wolf as…

The Art of Killing, a documentary about the Indonesian killings of 1965-66, is a raw and terrifying film directed by Joshua Oppenheimer. This bone chilling feature delves deep into the failed coup in Indonesia that resulted in the death of over a million Indonesians at the hands of a ruthless gangster in an anti-communist cull. These gangsters for the large part have escaped prosecution and are even considered local heroes by some. The documentary provides a platform in which viewers are able to…

In 2018 the director Ryan Coogler created the astonishing movie “Black Panther”. Black Panther barely feels like a Marvel film, or even a hero film. As this film offers a bold, fresh take on the superhero origin story. Chadwick Boseman plays King T'Challa, of Wakanda, the fictional African country housing mystery science fiction innovation, who must advance up and grasp the profound obligation of his inheritance after the death of his dad. Rather than building another, super-suited personality…
