He embarked on a journey to find answers to his questions whilst beseeching to God for help eventually refining his ideas down to one accepted theory: time is a tension of the…

The conversation surrounding the environment can often get caught up in generalities which can quickly drive people towards crisis mode. McKitrick attempts to persuade his reader to cease talking about the environment as a single entity, and instead focus on the specific aspects that compose it.

When starting Writing 101 around 8 weeks ago, I came in with very little knowledge. The knowledge I did come in with was mainly from high school and Military administrative school.
