Petrushevskaia explores three generations of women: The grandmother Sima, mother Anna, and daughter Alyona.

He was arrested for plundering. He was tried and shot” (274). This shows how chaotic and crazy war could be at at times.

the approach of these tactics should be shifted more toward what employers are looking for: U.S. schools evaluate students on how well they can memorize facts: what the quadratic formula is, for example, or what U.S. president was caught up in the Teapot Dome Scandal.

As I walk to my destinations I posses a backpack filled with utilities I use to throughout my courses. I carry the backpack on my back hoping it will supply me to develop my educated brain to execute my…

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash.
