    1. Page 16: “You can find money anywhere and everywhere. But the moment you have it‚ it runs right through your fingers.” ~Torvald a. This statement stands out to me‚ it reminds me of slim running through your hands‚ with money being the slim. This image would not be possible without the author’s word choir. He could have just said‚ “you spend money quickly‚” but he decided to add in an element of imagery to capture the audience. 2. Page 33: “However terrible I may actually feel‚ I want to prolong

    Sugawara isn’t what you would call a responsible driver before he passed his driving assessment (which took him three whole times to pass by the way) Iwaizumi would often have to pick him up whenever they went on dates. He may seem like the reliable one in his group of friends‚ but really he’s just as wild. This lack of common sense on the road is one of Iwaizumi’s biggest worries. Valentine’s day was approaching‚ and well Suga finally got his licence. It was gross and humid that night when Suga

    The chapter studied tells us a little about how Arawak‚ quite hospitable people who lived in peace on their land were mistaken‚ abused in their naivety and also killed by the Europeans who came to their land and were looking for gold‚ spices‚ and slaves.

    1. During the translator’s notes‚ I thought it was interesting when it states that‚ “…translators frequently disagree among themselves as to what a given word or phrase could mean.” When I think about it‚ words in different languages can translate into different meanings and/or other words entirely. For example‚ in English when calling someone an ass‚ the animal representing that word is a donkey. While in Spanish‚ when calling someone an ass‚ it translates to an ox. It is interesting saying one

    Quote from Text Commentary “I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation… and diffusing a perpetual splendour” (7‚ 8). It is interesting to see how this person describes the North Pole because in reality the North pole is a place full of ice where few things have adapted to live. This person is speaking of finding beautiful things there and doing something great but it just doesn’t make sense because the North Pole is more of a barren wasteland than a place of

    “That book was written by Mr. Mark Twain‚ and he told the truth‚ mainly. There as things which he stretched but mainly he told the truth” (1).

Mark Twain justified the lying in different levels. Some of the lies are vicious and self-serving and these lies were mostly told by the King and Duke while other lies were childish and harmless which was

    me. I could go on and on talking about how crazy I think this is‚ but‚ it can also be a bit interesting once you come across it. Let me introduce you to superstition and its impact on a few characters in one of Mark Twain’s novels‚ “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. One of the main characters‚ Huck‚ is a great example of being superstitious as he displays it quite a few times throughout the book.

Although nature can influence people in a bad way‚ it ultimately allows one to
