The optic must be tough as nails, simple to use, affordable, and above all else, reliable. Enter the Burris MTAC 1-4x24mm rifle scope. Overview Make no…
In the class, I started out by grasping at glamorous words to throw on a paper, as one would catch fireflies in a night sky. Feeling unsure of what was going on and doing what i thought was expected, I knew I was not meeting the challenges on my own. During the process, our class shared papers with the one other, including our teacher, for an editing process to find where our paper needed more flexing in order to improve its weaknesses. Through reading aloud joined with personal readings of my…
“Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.” This quote, said by Patrick Rothfuss, explains why the words and language in Wise Blood are so important.

“The cold darkness of the clouds were in the sky, when all of a sudden the eyes of hundreds of animals were laid upon my body as I began to run.” “Stop!” yelled my mother as I was just finishing telling my little brother a frightening story, explaining how if he didn 't do my chores for the rest of week, he would be put in an evil forest filled with beastly creatures.
