However, I do not think that any company can become world famous just by believing so. Although, I do think any company can be successful by believing in what they are…

2. The “Earth to Seattle” article is a little misleading. I think Seattle mag should focus on things you can do and see in Seattle. The article and photos made me want to visit this exhibit, and I was dismayed to find that it is a personal collection and will not be shown anytime soon to the public unless they get enough funding. 3.

Heaney’s poems ‘Blackberry Picking’ and ‘Death of a Naturalist’ are both about insignificant events in his time. Both poems share similar themes: life, loss of childhood innocence and expectations and disappointment. The themes were conveyed through Heaney’s manipulation of the poem structure and his use of deliberately picked words and phrases.
