Stephen King, a world renowned author who has written over 100 novels focusing on horror and occult themes. Graduating with a degree in English, not only is Stephen King renowned for his horror novels, but also for his teachings in Hampden, Maine. Although Stephen King is a famous horror author, the real horror lies in his text; where Stephen King fails to uphold proper Scholarly writing. For example, in King's essay My Creature from the Black Lagoon he fails to introduce his thesis. King opens…

Dear (Insert Law Firm Name), On the date of May 20th, 2017 I was traveling on the New York thruway on my way to Ontario, Canada from Brunswick, Maine and was stopped by a police officer. Upon being pulled over, the police officer informed me that I had been traveling at 91 miles per hour in a 65 miles per hour zone in Montgomery County, New York. I was unaware of my speed as I had been traveling for quite some time and had no other cars around me at the time to judge my speed, thus leading to…

The breakdown in communication here had the potential to be detrimental to the patient’s health. As nurses, we were responsible for finding out the correct information and making sure it was communicated correctly with everyone. This should not be done in order to change the plan of care, but to ensure that everyone has the necessary information to make sure the best decision is made for the patient. This is an experience that I will never forget, and it reminds me as I grow as a nurse to always…

Wearing my Jansport polka dot backpack, Hollister shirt and flared blue jeans, I eagerly opened the door and walked into the classroom. It was 2005, and it was the day of my first Spanish class. I sat in a blue chair and class began, an experience that can best be described as a, “baptism by fire”; the teacher, Señora Gunderson, only spoke Spanish the entire 50 minutes. It was a whirlwind experience, and I could only understand random fragments like “bien,” “azul,” and “hola,” and despite being…

The United States and Canada both share a common physical geography and history of how they were developed. Together, they make up 13% of the world’s land mass, making them the second and third largest countries in the world (Perrons, 2004). About 80% of the population in North America lives in cities. Montreal and New York City are both listed in the top twenty largest cities in North America (Largest Cities in North America by Population). There are many cultural traditions that have developed…

The local library has been invaluable over the course of my school career; so, I’m not surprised by the statistic that “90% of Americans say the closing of their local public library would impact their community and 67% said it would affect them and their families” (“Americans and Public Libraries” 1). I would be devastated if my local library were to close, and thus sympathize with Zadie Smith and the community of Willesden Green of London, UK who are being affected by the closing of their…

was taking place. Without notice, the USS Maine was blown up. The US took its chance and blamed Spain, sparking the Spanish-American war. In Document 12, we see how America, with little, actual evidence, accused the foreign power. This event gave the United States an opening to get into Cuba to expand their territory; which will be explained in the next paragraph. Based on research done after Cuba was taken over by the US though, we see that the USS Maine was not sabotaged by the Spanish…

My mother is actually from Maine, so I am accustomed to the state and lobster. In fact, every other summer, I am in Maine at the time of the lobster festival. While I have never been, I have heard so much from my family about the lobster festival that it feels like I have been a million times. Thus, that’s why I ranked it as…

Devastation filled me the day the epidemic broke out. I turned on the television and the news channel said that they estimated that about 28,000 people had been infected in our state of Maine. The news spokesperson said that they didn't know the precise location of the outbreak. My parents got out of bed and saw the television. They news person repeated everything again and after that, I changed the channel to an irrelevant station. I got up from the couch and looked outside the window Suddenly…
