On Earth there are many mysteries that scientists have still not figured out. Becoming more knowledgeable is the best way to help discover worldly secrets. In ancient Greece stories were made to explain natural phenomenons to cover up what has yet to be discovered. Stories like The Odyssey were told to explain the unknown. In ancient Greece,…

I miss Peg-Arm, who ruled with an iron fist. Literally. He was the reason I am where I am, but he was a skilled pirate. I feel bad that I only knew him for a short time. But that doesn’t matter anymore. I can’t change the past. Just floating in my dinghy now. Attempting to find land before another storm hits. Almost ended up like Peg-Arm when my dinghy flipped over. I don’t know where I am, or whether or not I’ll have enough food. All I’ve had to eat in the past 2 days has been a turtle that…

Miller Brewing Company, a company claiming to be the inventors of light beer, was founded in 1855 when Frederick Miller bought the Plank Road Brewery in Milwaukee (cite). It was not until 1975 that Miller Brewing Company introduced its Lite brand (cite).

The Reliability of a Murderer The narrators in both “The Tale-Tell Heart” and “The Cask of Amontillado” are very unreliable. The narrators, in addition to being murderers, lie to both the reader and the other characters in the story. Due to the information about the narrators’ states of mind and ability to lie given in both stories, the readers of the stories should not accept what the narrator describes. Most people who commit murders or other horrific acts have a form of mental disability that…

The Inuit, Haida and the Sioux might sound and look very different but they might be more alike than you think. They have a lot in common but don’t forget they have some differences as well. Some of these groups might have more in common then the other but they will still all have something in common and how they are individually different. These groups might have more in common than you thought or maybe not but either or that's get into it. One thing they have in common is that they are all…

After spending countless hours with Stefani, or Stefalicious, the thing that stands out the most to me is how much fun it is being around and with her. To try and say that I can accurately represent Stef from one experience or by one trait would be untruthful and an incomplete representation of her character. However, I can try to show you what kind of a relationship we have through a couple conversations and stories. I met Stefani the first Sunday of last semester. I was assigned to home…

The moon hid scared of the sudden darkness that had taken the sky hostage, as the pink and yellow volleyball flew back and forth. My cousins, Julia, and Samantha had come from Florida for a visit that summer and we were all once again together just like we were before they moved off to West Palm Beach, Florida. Samantha, Gabriella, Julia, Alexa, Adam, and Aaron. While playing our favorite game in the living room, the front door swung open and closed harshly. Uncle Peter obviously did not have…

wouldn't have bad luck. So as I was walking away as I ran into a fence. Just a plain old whit fence, besides the barbed wire on the top. The paint was chipped and faded. It looked leith was panted a while ago. Someone had dug a hole under it. The fence planks were dull at the bottom. The key was already in it. A normal brass key you would see…
