Due to the small numbers arriving, they could not do a full-scale ‘Normanisation’ as William the Conqueror had done in England between 1066 and 1086. In contrast to the twenty year ‘Normanisation’ of England, Italy and Sicily took 91 years (1000ish to 1091). Before Normans began to migrate to Italy, conflict existed between the local peoples…

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the boys’ actions are a manifestation of the inner savagery of an individual that surfaces when the society that they belong to has fallen. This is shown on page 181 through Jack’s violence towards Ralph after Piggy’s death. “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist.

movie is. Who Framed Roger Rabbit uses elements of narrative, cinematography, special effects, and acting to make an out of the box and a hilarious movie. From watching this movie, I believe that this story is being told in omniscient narration. Throughout the movie, the camera only showed the things I needed to know and…

Mornings were fun there we would play on the Atari or we would watch TV usually Inspector Gadget or sadly sometimes Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
