For this semester I have been reading the book “Too Much of A Good Thing” by Lee Goldman. Lee Goldman is a doctor that studies why we people as a species have been getting so sick. Lee Goldman has noticed that the rate of obesity, diabetes, and other issues has risen during recent times. In the book he explains how the traits that helped our ancestors survive, and become so successful are now making us sick. For example, more people are becoming obese because our ancestors would eat a lot when…

Whether literature turns out to be a bestseller or a paper weight is decided by two very critical elements. Together, setting and character work to build the foundation and plot to a story. Setting often drives the characters to act in very specific manners and can illustrate and exemplify critical changes and plot points. Characters not only create the very basis of the novel itself, but also help to establish conflict and can change how we view other characters through their actions and…

After the trek had left Calgary, “the trekkers” picked up more recruits and when they reached Saskatchewan they were numbering an estimated 2,000 men.

Through a variety of literary elements and well-described thoughts, Laurence’s essay is able to greatly influence me by evoking strong personal…

Debate amongst various scholarly sources has made the boundaries of the Southern Mixed Prairie ambiguous. According to one model, this rangeland area spans central Nebraska down into northern Oklahoma (U.S. Forest Service, 2005). An alternate source elaborates that the Southern Mixed…
