If you think you have squirrels in the attic? You probably do. Either that or you or you have been providing shelter for a pretty big rat. If that is the case, I'd rather have to deal with getting rid of the squirrel! Squirrels are very active in the morning and afternoon. If you hear noise in the attic during that time frame, it is likely a squirrel. A tiny footstep in the night is apt to be a mouse or a rat hunting something to eat. Both critters could be damaging your home, but we'll…

In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, I think the scene that I love the most is when Boo has just saved the children. When Scout meets Boo for the first time. She says something like, "Hey, Boo," and Atticus formerly introduces Scout to "Mr. Arthur Radley," saying that he thinks Boo already knows her. The connection that has been building between Boo and the children over the course of the novel has been alluded to, but not discussed in the open. Not only were there the gifts he left in the…

Throughout the course of the book To Kill a Mockingbird, the main characters, Jem and Scout, change their views on the not so fair world they thought they lived in. In the beginning of the book, both Jem and Scout thought everyone was treated fairly and are as innocent as they are. The author, Harper Lee creates crazy events for Jem and Scout to face, that ultimately change their views on the world and also help them grow as people.

It is evident that the era of rock and roll greats such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin are fading.

In the words of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, “Country is the new rock ‘n’ roll…

With his resiliency and deep passion to forge on with his career, Chris Brown merits an appreciation for still sticking through and his triumph in providing us great music. We can all nod in agreement that Chris Brown's vocal calisthenics, slick dance moves and the charisma he exudes whenever he opens his mouth to sing made it easy for him to reach the summit of the slippery sap called fame. Since 2006 and upon the release of his illustrious hit entitled Yo (Excuse Me Miss), Chris Brown captured…

Basic Information: The Stenotomus chrysops, commonly known as Scup, are a heavily fished saltwater species. Despite their lean and flakey bone-filled flesh, the scup has been a part of the North American east coast diet since colonial times. In fact, the population of the scup was fished to the edge in the 1990s- but fully recovered its numbers 30-fold by 2009 thanks to seasonal restrictions. Like all other life forms on the planet, the scup is more than a fresh catch at the local fish market.…

allies, trading partners, and friends. Their histories are intertwined through wars, trade, and shared values. In Canadian and American literature, one finds similar characterization and similar opinions on patriarchy. In fact, Canadian and American Southern Gothic literature share common use of setting, but with a varying degree of effect and meaning. In “Lamp at Noon”, author Sinclair Ross explores the hardships of the Dirty Thirties while in “A Rose for Emily” author William Faulkner explores…
