Charlotte Bronte seems to have experienced living in these Northern England places herself because she is able to describe the sky, vegetation and ambience perfectly “iron sky of winter,…

To each and every single law, Newton also developed an equation. (Lucas, 2014) These laws are extremely important and have been tested countless times to make sure that they are valid, both by Newton and other scientists.
