However, Rowlandson tells a different story when she describes her experiences with the…

At the beginning of this story, when the main character’s wife said that the blind man, Robert will visit and spend the night with them, It can be easily found out that the main character did not like Robert. “I wasn’t…

Keishera Aldonza Culture Partners: The Interview with the Albanian I first met Enea almost by accident. It was the night of the first fire alarm at Roberts Hall.

In the book The Call of the Wild by Jack London, one important theme is that nature destroys those who do not adapt to its laws. Since the book takes place largely in the Far North, where the forces of nature are raw, harsh, and unforgiving, this theme is illustrated repeatedly. Up in Canada and towards Alaska, the driving winds, frozen lands, and vigorous work all demand adaptations. Anybody who can’t adapt is harshly punished. Examples of this theme include the deaths of Curly, Dave, Charles,…
