In The Notebook the biggest symbol is the old oak tree. The old oak tree represents Ally and Noah’s first feeling of love. The heart with the words Noah loves Ally carved into them represent the early love and the last time they seen each other before Ally went back to her original home. In both stories…

After a visit to Emanuel Temple, someone will quickly learn two things: Christianity and Judaism are very similar, but also are very different. Oak Park’s Emmanuel Temple was built for its inhabitants to practice the belief of Judaism. On Sunday a group called "Kensington" sets up and performs services at Groves High school. These two churches are different, two different faiths, but have the same goal. This goal is to have people convert to their faith. Sure, the churches goal is the same, is…

That’s the intended purpose, but is also used by Sister Leopolda “for catching Satan by surprise” (825). This “hook-pole” indirectly is a piece of fishing imagery. A lure, artificial bait, has one or many hooks attached to it. The oak pole is the main flashy part of the lure while the iron hook is a representation of the hooks that can be found on a lure. Sister Leopolda used this hook-pole as punishment towards students whom she believed the Dark One had taken residence in and had…

Thud! I closed the tailgate of my dad’s truck. I turned around with my bow in hand. The quiver that is attached to the bow has three new arrows in it. I grabbed the middle arrow and knock it for my walk out. My path is a narrow strip of mowed grass between a dense wooded area and a corn field. After blowing my nose and clearing my throat as much as I possibly could, hopefully so I do not need to do any of those things on stand, I started on my way. It was a short walk probably half a mile or…

Quotes: 1. " 'There- that's long enough,' said she, though without pulling it away. 'But I suppose you are thinking you would like to kiss it? You may if you want to.' " (Hardy 40) This quote was Bathsheba Everdene's in Chapter 3. It was said after she had saved Gabriel's life and he then held her hand. Her saying gave readers a clue that she was slightly interested in him. A girl wouldn't allow someone who wasn't dear to her to hold her hand long unless she had some feelings or interest in him…

print. For example, the fingerprints of tobacco smokers contain traces of cotinine and nicotine. British researchers are developing methods of identifying people that use marijuana or cocaine from their fingerprint residues. Also, researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory discovered that children's fingerprints can disappear faster then adult fingerprints. The rapid disappearance of children's fingerprints is attributed to a lack of more waxy oils that become present at the time of…
