    A motto I got out of this book is that upbringings lead to opportunities. This means that not only do things happen by chance, they also happen because of their upbringings. Opportunities arise when you apply yourself and allow yourself to become involved. The longer you do these things, the better chance you have at growing as a person and in life. Bu not every person has the motivation to apply themselves in everyday life.…

    “The histories of vampires and people are not so different, really. How many of us can honestly see our own reflection?” (Barry, 94). Any research into the history of autobiography will expose elements of fiction materializing into truth. Perhaps it’s the fogginess of memory, and sometimes it’s a lie a writer has been telling themself for decades. Nevertheless, autobiography has become a pivotal theme in comics. From Spiegelman’s Maus (which is near equal parts autobiography and biography) to Cece Bell’s El Deafo, comics has provided an expansive and multisensory medium with which to narrate reality.…

    Secondly, another amazing trip was going to the school ‘La Source’. I know it’s not a big thing, but it was still really nice to meet them and we had so much fun with them! For instance, one time when we went to their school, we spent the whole afternoon doing experiments and testing things out. It was so funny, when mme Marie-Claude showed them the order to do an experiment, they all looked at her as if she was crazy! They had obviously never learned to do a laboratory report before! Another time, we went to their school again and we did improvisation. It was really great because they don’t have superb ideas when they go in the play, but in the end it all fits together and they…

    At The Earth's Core.txt At The Earth's CoreAt The Earth's Core by Burroughs, Edgar Rice Ewriting Format by Carl Peterson © 2001 PROLOGUE IN THE FIRST PLACE PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT I do not expect you to believe this story. Nor could you wonder had you witnessed a recent experience of mine when, in the armor of blissful and stupendous ignorance, I gaily narrated the gist of it to a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society on the occasion of my last trip to London.You would surely have thought that I had been detected in no less a heinous crime than the purloining of the Crown Jewels from the Tower, or putting poison in the coffee of His Majesty the King.The erudite gentleman in whom I confided congealed before I was half through!--it is all that saved him from exploding--and my dreams of an Honorary Fellowship, gold medals, and a niche in the Hall of Fame faded in to the thin, cold air of his arctic atmosphere.But I believe the story, and so would you, and so would the learned Fellow of the Royal Geological Society, had you and he heard it from the lips of the man who told it to me. Had you seen, as I did, the fire of truth in those gray eyes; had you felt the ring of sincerity in that quiet voice; had you realized the pathos of it all--you, too, would believe. You would not have needed the final ocular proof that I had--the weird rhamphorhynchus-like creature which he had brought back with him from the inner world.I came upon him quite suddenly, and no less unexpectedly, upon the rim of the great Sahara Desert. He was standing before a goat-skin tent amidst a clump of date palms within a tiny oasis. Close by was an Arab douar of some eight or ten tents.I had come down from the north to hunt lion. My party consisted of a dozen children of the desert--I was the only "white" man. As we approached the little clump of verdure I saw the man come from his tent and with hand-shaded eyes peer intently at us. At sight of me he advanced rapidly to meet us." A white man!" he…
