The Adventure of the Final Problem

American dream is a reality for most, for some, it 's only an illusion or an imaginary dream people can only hope will come true. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and "Harlem" by Langston Hughes, the theme of the American dream is represented through negation, dishonesty, and delay. In The Adventures…

Missouri world Twain grew up in. The captivating adventures of Huck are not simply fanciful wonders of an imaginative author, they are built upon the experiences of a person who endured the hardships and joys of river life. Far more than mere entertainment, this tale is a window into a lifestyle and time that has long since past. Frontier America in the 1800’s was a place of danger and endless work, but also beauty and opportunity. “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” displays all the wonders of…

a positive trend with the older the child is the less source monitoring error is prevalent. Thus it is hypothesized that older children will score higher in the final interview than the younger children. It is also hypothesized that that regardless of age, children presented with suggested questioning will perform worse on the final interview. Lastly, it is hypothesized that children interviewed by a parent rather than a stranger will perform worse on the memory test for both conditions.…

Engulfed in a devastating war with a reminder of its tragic and bloody consequences via every turn, the setting of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is as jaw-droppingly beautiful, as it is menacing and dark.

However, you're not the only one in pursuit of the would-be Witcher, as a powerful force of spectres known as the…

impact on him that he wanted to find a way to show the world how society was. “Huckleberry Finn represents the final secularization of the society-community theme” (Kaul, A. N.) . Twain himself even walked away from the book while in the middle of writing it because it was such crude topic to write about. But if he had not, we would not have the literature we have today. “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn marks in so many ways a turning point in the history of American fiction.”(Kaul, A. N.)…

Macbeth is a wonderfully written story full of action and adventure. It takes place in Scotland, in the medieval times. In the play, a Scottish nobleman named Macbeth and his friend Banquo are told by three witches that Macbeth will become king of Scotland, but Banquo’s descendants will rule after. Macbeth tells his wife of this, and she plans to kill the king, Duncan, so Macbeth will be king sooner. The plan succedes, but Macbeth is afraid the Banquo will take over. Macbeth sends assassins to…

My favorite characters were Eddie and Marcus. Eddie and Marcus may have foolishly robbed people and pointed a gun at their victims, but they almost always stuck together. Neither boy would “rat” out their friends, instead they kept quiet and attempted to protect each other as long as possible. The characters I liked the least were Eddies and Marcus’ mothers. Both mothers did not trust that they boys would not betray each other. Instead they told their sons that they no longer had the once…

Beowulf The graphic novel Beowulf by Gareth Hinds focuses on a fabled hero, Beowulf, warrior and chief of a tribe located in the land of Geats. Throughout the text, our protagonist is faced with a plethora of challenges that can prove that he is the prototypical hero on a quest. The idea of the “prototypical hero” is linked back to the book How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, chapters 1, “Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It;s Not)” and 10, “Never Stand Next to…

impact bias, the spotlight effect, and the idea of self-efficacy that interconnect with the lyrics. The song itself is filled emotional metaphors and analogies that relate to the ideas of sorrow, depression, and the singer finding her way after a problem she is facing. This song can give a tiny source of representation into the mind of Florence and her self-concept and feelings. According to Meyers (2013) impact bias is the “overestimating the enduring impact of emotion-causing events” (p. 48).…

think of. Of course I've also had my thin friends tell me weight loss diets are so easy - just do it! I don't know about you but one thing I don't like is people who have never had a weight problem trying to tell you how to lose weight easily. They think we overweight people have some sort of control problem and that our weight is all our fault! Now I'm not trying to say I'm not responsible for where I'm at today, because I am. But at the same time, I know gaining weight for me is easier than…
