Throughout the Early Middle Ages, Knights were among some of the most respected people in all of Europe. Their willingness to fight for their king and be a loyal vassal made them a valuable asset to the king’s army. One of the values that knights prided themselves on was that of honor. The importance of honor in a knight’s everyday life is prevalently displayed in the poem The Song of Roland, a story about Charlemagne’s army during the Battle of Roncesvalles. Throughout the story, Count Roland…

One of the most strange and interesting things in my opinion is called a black hole. The most interesting thing about them is that they can completely make something disappear but the item keeps it's original mass. That is why I will be writing about black holes in this paper. People have been studying black holes for a long time. In 1915 Albert Einstein published his theory on black holes. But the same year Karl Schwarzschild proved that theory correct. And people have performed more and more…

Astronomers recently discovered one of the most massive black holes to date in the cosmic background.

Love is Tricky Love is hard. Giving your heart and soul to someone isn’t easy. In the short story, “A Temporary Matter” by Jhumpa Lahiri, a man and a woman discover just how easily love can break. This story was especially dismal for me as a child of divorce, but also as someone in a loving committed relationship. As I read Lahiri’s short story, I found everything I fear in marriage. The first is the idea of physical separation. Throughout the story, Shoba and Shunkumar both find…
