RAID

What if one day you went to the dentist to get a simple operation done and you woke up speaking with a foreign accent? Well that is exactly what happened to a woman living in Oregon who has never been to Europe or even lived in a foreign country. Karen Butler woke up from surgery that was just getting a couple teeth removed and noticed that she had started talking weirdly. The Dentist said it would go away in a few days, but after a month she still was talking strangely. Karen Butler had…

happened if he did not know of the outcome. The first prophecy that he is told is that he will become the king, this forces him to act and kill the king so he then becomes the king. The second prophecy is to beware Macduff knowing this Macbeth goes and raids Macduff’s whole castle killing anyone who gets in his way. Macbeth's apparition of no man born of woman causes his to be thinking that no man can slay him because all are born of woman. The outcome of Macbeth’s actions clearly backfire and…

A fiery scorch lights up a place where the ruler is vicious and complete with a plethora of beings looking to destroy your relationship with god. Demons flutter around you trying to get you to become an atheist. Thoughts whisper into you ears, telling you that the unseen is a sham, fraud, and hoax. That is the vivid, red world I envision after I read the fictional novel titled The Screwtape Letter, written by C.S. Lewis. The letters are in the perspective of Screwtape, a senior demon, who is…

World War II changed both the types of work women would do and how challenging the work was. World War II provided various opportunities for women to apply for jobs that would have never been open to women before. Some major contributions that women gave America during World War Two is support, factory working, auxiliary forces and nursing. In this brutal war many soldiers would often lose faith and hope rather quickly. They would forget about everything they have to live for like their…

a bond with Lotte and she later becomes part of their family. Gisela eventually finds Herr Rockel’s daughter Sophie. Gisela and Sophie became good friends for the rest of their lives. This is significant because almost 2000 people died from the air-raid but Gisela, Erwin, Harald, Wolfi and Lotte were the only ones who…

After the raid many men have taken and stolen prizes from civilians and soldiers. Among these “prizes” are weapons, money, barrels or whiskey, livestock, food, jewelry, armor, horses, and as previously mentioned, women. Sir Simon Jekyll, one of the commanding officers…

Especially toward the 1850s, anti-slavery sentiment arose in northern states as tensions between northern and southern states that supported slavery increased. This political settlement between North and South lasted only four years. Southern appeals for enforcement of the Fugitive Slave act so that slaves who moved to the North had to be returned to their masters. On the other hand, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin impassioned debates over “bleeding Kansas.” Extremist and underground…

documentary on the true story of Black Hawk Down that was shown on CNN several years ago. That documentary shows live footage as well as some of the actual Army Rangers and Delta Force soldiers involved in the raid of Mogadishu. I personally know guys who were stationed there and involved in that raid and when I watch it to this day it makes the hair on my neck stand up. In some instances, I get an anxious or overwhelming feeling and start to sweat just watching a movie, because I know the…

Grendel is the character that is changed the most between the two stories. In Beowulf, he is a relentless monster that raids and kills the people of the village as a sport. Grendel, however, offers a different perspective, told from the “beast’s” point of view, that allows him to be humanized. He is capable of feeling strong emotions of anger, fear, despair, and even intelligence…

keep them safe from their own pridemates, and in doing so, earned the ire of many of the crueler lions around him. Each time the pride ran out of food, a raid would be led to attack and steal from another pride, and being that Maahes was such a skilled fighter (one does learn, after all, when in constant strife), he was always included in the raid party. However, prowling beside him were the very same lions he fought, and enraged,…
