    In The Road, the first 16 pages give the reader a good perspective of the novel. The reader learns that the world has undergone a dramatic change. The world seems post-apocalyptic, and there is nothing much that remains. Two characters are presented but are not described in any way; we only know that they are labeled as ‘the man’ and ‘the boy’ who are father and son. McCarthy does not give description to ‘the man’ or ‘the boy’, but there actions and dialogues give the reader some sort of understanding of the characters. McCarthy could be labeling the characters ‘the man ‘and ‘the boy’ to show the effects on mankind after this catastrophe. By labeling them ‘the man’ and ‘the boy’, it could be that McCarthy is trying to universalize his characters, showing how much of a change there has been in the novel after the tragedy which has transformed the earth.…

    In the poem ‘The Wood – Pile’ Robert Frost uses a very tight structure, it is a sum of one stanza which he has used in other poems such as “Out Out -”. This poem is first person narration, which is another thing that a lot of Frost poems share in common, the setting of the poem is introduced in the first line of the poem ‘the frozen swap’ this releases visual imagery straight away. The last two words of the first line of the poem ‘gray day’ Frost uses internal rhyme the theme of the poem is nature it is set outside and it also it involves tree’s and birds Frost tells the story using this as the stake and the prop is natural resources and the wood-pile is society and because we are using nature up, it is soon going to collapse.…

    "Most of those persons condemned were convicted on the basis of spectral evidence –that is to say, prosecuting witnesses declared that they felt the presence of evil spirits or heard spirit voices" (pg. 2, Paulo Coelho). "The Witch of Portobello" by the renowned Brazilian author Paulo Coelho is a novel about love, passion, joy, spirituality, and sacrifice. The circular structure of this story is very fascinating. There are really several narrators that tell the story of Sherine Khalil (better known as Athena) in their own points of view. The main narrators are Heron Ryan (journalist), Andrea McCain (actress), and Deidre O'Neill (doctor, better known as Edda).…

    Ibn Battuta’s remarks of his travels say a great deal about his own culture and norms. Almost every place he travels to he brings up women and how they are treated, as well as what their status is in that society. He is also very amused with the décor of the buildings in terms of gold and silver decorations. It seems as though he does not come from a wealthy society or his family is not on the wealthy status level. Battuta also seems to bring up the cleanliness of each area he travels to.…

    Research Paper Bullying

    Strategies to Prevent Bullying One in five children between the ages of ten and eighteen, have been bullied both inside and outside of school. Government officials, and school administrators, are taking strides to prevent the act of bullying. Laws and anti-bully programs are being passed all over the United States to stop the bullying epidemic. There are bullies all over, torturing children for things such as appearance, sexual orientation, race, personality and much more. Due to these bullies, children and young adults chose to take their lives to end the pain they are receiving from others hurtful words and actions. The government and schools are attempting to do whatever they can to prevent bullying from getting worse. The government has realized that bullying has become a terrible way of expression between young children and adults. These government officials have taken matters into their own hands by creating laws that will discipline anyone who is bullying another person. Not all states have passed laws for bullying, but many states are trying to have laws approved. “Sates began passing anti-bully laws in earnest in the early 2000s…by late 2005, 17 states has passed antibully legislation” (“New Laws Take…”). According to research, only three states, Michigan, Minnesota and South Dakota, do not have any laws regarding bullies. Some states make it a necessity to report any form of bullying to the school, or the government itself. States like New Jersey and Connecticut, are responsible for reporting any acts of bullying seen on school property or in any public place, to their state. New Jersey’s law requires every school to have a specialized bully therapist available for students at any time (“New Laws Take…”). The definition of bullying is not just narrowed down to physically going up to someone and talking to them in a negative way, it also includes the negative things said and done over the internet. Cyber bullying was not even considered a problem a while…
