Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book as the notion of the “special world” (Vogler 10) is glorified through contrast in relation to the core themes of the texts.

However, this very lacking,…

Black mentions that even the Romans burned sulfur to kill insects and pests, and in the 1600s, people were even using a mixture of honey and arsenic to kill ants.

At this rate, the railgun will accurately strike a 5-metre wide target from approximately 200 nautical miles away. Conventional weapons generally require a propellant…
