Mile

place: a place disconnected from the society I had left behind miles ago. Down here, in the lowest section of the Grand Canyon, it was just me, my friends, and the heat. Always the heat. We had started our journey, a run from the Grand Canyon’s North Rim to the South Rim, at 4 AM in a futile attempt to avoid the skyrocketing temperature and finish before the sun became the determining factor in the success of our venture. Fifteen miles in, watching the sun make its first appearance, I could…

The other 38 are small, except Phoebe, irregular satellites…

Good could be defined as ‘having in a large or adequate degree the qualities or properties desirable in something of the specified kind; of high or acceptable quality, standard, or level’, whereas evil would be ‘the…

passage can reveal a great deal about a book. In Henry James’s “The Turn of the Screw”, there a quite a few critical passages. One that is particularly critical is the passage where the governess is conversing with Mrs. Grose before the governess meets Miles, Flora’s brother: “You will be carried away by the little gentleman!” “Well, that, I think, is what I came for--to be carried away. I’m afraid, however,” I remember feeling the impulse to add, “I’m rather easily carried away. I was carried…

The Courtship of Miles Standish both represent the Romantic era, or Romanticism, an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement, that emphasized emotions such as horror, terror, and awe. Common themes of Romanticism found in art or literature were folklore, emotion, horror, love, nature, individualism, the supernatural, or religion. I am hoping to compare and contrast the courtship strategies of Irving’s characters, Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones, with Longfellow’s characters Miles Standish…

The “modern” history of Guatemala (gwa-te ma-le), began when Spain conquered the land in 1511. But before Spain came into the picture, the Mayans -one of the most dominant indigenous societies of Mesoamerica- were the ones that flourished this region.
