The Shape of the Sword by Borges is a good insight into man’s realization of his flaws and how they can stay with the person to haunt them. The themes of identity and betrayal in the story are explored with someone we see as an everyday hero, a soldier who fought in a war. This was cleverly used as even if the story was made in the 1940’s it is still very common to see soldiers fighting for their country even in 2016. This work in particular is able to connect a common sin of man and with the…

Archaeology is a tricky subject. It is difficult to determine what a particular item is, and it is even harder to figure out its age. Still, archaeologists toil for years trying to uncover relics, artifacts, statues, and other items that give us insight into former civilizations. Unfortunately, though, this important research is often twisted to disprove the Bible. Whenever an artifact is found that seemingly contradicts the biblical record, skeptics rush to say that it proves that the Bible is…

"""Iee lik chesepuvs iin ma aplejuuce" Daquan Somerled was not a very wise man, but he was an achiever. He did not die a hero's death, but he was an achiever. He basically wasn't a awesome dude, he ate breakfast everyday and went to work where he was bored out of his mind, and then he went to sleep and restarted the next day. I now realize that this may not be the best writing prompt that I could have used so I will now try to salvage what I can from this hole that I have dug myself into…

In 1999, Tim Westergren and two of his friends launched a company out of San Francisco called Savage Beast, which would later become Pandora (Pozen & Rosenfeld, 2009).

Beowulf does not even use any weapons when he attacks Grendel, he only used his hand…

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (Mosely, 2004), is an umbrella term for a variety of clinical presentations characterized by chronic persistent pain that is disproportionate to any preceding injury and that is not restricted anatomically to the distribution of a specific peripheral nerve. CRPS can be sub classified into two diagnostic subtypes: type I, in which no peripheral nerve injury can be identified, and type II, where symptoms are…
