Sydney Carton is shown to be a “round” character. When Dickens uses caricature, it is able to show different sides of Sydney Carton. For example, “Sydney Carton, idlest and most unpromising of men, was Stryver’s great ally. What the two drank together, between Hilary Term and Michaelmas, might have floated a king’s ship. Stryver…
is a movie I would watch with my father and brother, next to our wood burning stove in rural Southwest Missouri. I am positive we watched this movie so many times on VHS, they had to create DVD’s so we could buy a new copy.

Awards for the movie after production and release were sadly few and far between. Regardless the opening lines, which are narrated, give the…
Every Saturday morning I get a jolt of excitement in anticipation of the forty-five minutes of wonder I know are soon to delight my senses, forty-five minutes of adventure, fear, and the devilish world of Steven Moffat.

The book opens with focus on the phrase, “Recalled to life” which in it repetition drives home the importance of some kind…

I rested my head back as my brother tugged my shirt indicating that the plane was leaving the runway. The plane had starting leaving the Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. I looked through the small window and saw the once what seemed humongous buildings, slowly minimising. I thought of all the amazing things Los Angeles had to offer. All the places that only seemed to exist through my…
INTRODUCTION Dana Point is a city between Los Angeles and San Diego in southern California, but is best known for its harbor. Just north of the harbor lies a rocky beach with large cliffs only tens of meters from the sea, depending on tide level. Cliffs along the coast of southern California are prone to landslides due to their rock composition (mostly sedimentary) and high erosion rates from the sea but become increasingly stressed from overlying man-made structures and landscaping practices.…
