longevity, but true beatification of the human spirit to triumph and over come the minutest of odds. Growing up in a worn torn Munich, Herzog moved to the remote Bavarian village of Sachrang after a neighbouring house was destroyed during a bombing raid at the close of World War II. It becomes a lot more evident to see why Herzog was so interested in Dieter Dengler, a fellow German who too left his small hometown of Wildberg in a worn torn Germany to seek a better life.

is “afraid [she] will run away since she is too beautiful to look at” (Cisneros 79). Rafaela is imprisoned in her home, and dreams of better places.

In today’s world, the need for this alternative energy is at an all-time high as fossil fuels and other conventional sources of energy are beginning to damage this planet’s ecosystem at an alarming rate. Solar energy, although not completely pollution-free, is an inexhaustible fuel source. Every hour energy from the sun is sent into Earth’s atmosphere and within this hour, there is…
