Not only does Watchmen make references to other superhero comics by parodying popular heroes, such as Captain America as the Comedian and Superman as Dr. Manhattan, but Watchmen is full of internal intertextuality, from the newspapers and advertisements that litter the streets of New York to the personal files, publications, and mementos of the heroes in the novel. The most significant of these documents are the…

Into Africa, it incorporates Egypt, and, by a few records, Arab North Africa. This zone involves mountains, deserts, rich fields watered by amazing streams, and seacoasts.

I have gone to the zoo four times and I have enjoyed being there. I like to see how the animals live. My favorite animal is the giraffe. I love them. I think they are fascinating. I like to see them but I have never had a pet because I think that they need much care. My son often tells me he wants to have a dog. I hope some day I can give one to him and that he will take care of his pet himself. In my family, everyone likes to see animals. We visit the zoo, Monterey Bay Aquarium, or watch TV…

Scampering up a mooring rope and into a trade vessel, a harbor rat carries a deadly passenger, the Yersinia pestis. And in October of 1347, the ship, docked in Messina, carries the Black Death into Europe (“Black Death”). Swollen lymph nodes, mottled black skin, and infection are merciless; victims eat lunch with their friends, and dinner…
