Mark Twain, the author of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, wrote the book as an American Classic. He wanted the novel to be light hearted and comical to the average reader; therefore he did not intend for people to get upset or offended by the way he wrote it. The novel also has ways that…

America is great, of that most of us can agree. Our nation is physically huge, spanning thousands of miles in each direction and taking up a sizeable chunk of North America. It is also great in the sense that (as the song goes) it is the land of the free and the home of the brave, and after all, what doesn’t scream ‘great’ about the American Dream?

In this paper, I first aim to provide an analysis of the statement, dissecting Hume’s view of what the “self” entailed, and how the mind works in helping deceive us into thinking that there is a “self”. After which, I hope to provide a greater insight of the theatrical metaphor used, as theatre is often cited to be “an essential and central metaphor for life” (Wilshire 1985). Analysis of passage Hume asserts that “we are nothing but a…

The shrieks of people screaming, the rush of adrenaline running through your veins as you try to get away from the gunshots and the slaughter. The fear you feel as you see your family murdered and the joy you feel when you join them soon after. The blank look in the eyes of children as they surrender to the fact that they would die soon. You hate that you're helpless and can’t do anything to save yourself or your family, the torture you're subjected to please the maliciousness of others. The…

According to "Evolution of hominid bipedalism and prehensile capabilities" by Russell H. Tuttle, “The earliest hominids would be recognized as…

His significant tombstone, in which indicates he is buried with his son Alfred claims he drowned and the body never found on October 4, 1882. However, he appears in the 1891 census! Could it be the tombstone should have 1892 instead? And then there is the other story about how he died — by being killed by a bear north of Parry Sound resulting in naming Killbear Park after the bear.
