Journal 1: 1984 What has struck your interest so far in the novel? Why? 1984 is fascinating‚ because it was written to take place in the future‚ but the future has since become the past. The year 1984 has come and gone‚ and‚ fortunately‚ we do not live in the world envisioned by George Orwell. Nevertheless‚ some of the parallels between the world presented in the novel and the present day are eerie. Orwell seems to have imagined some things very similar to the modern day. One of the smaller details

The Book Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett has several interesting characters. To some‚ the characters in the book can resemble a contradistinction to the modern city or stereotypical individuals that thrive in the modern day city. Through the story the author gave plenty information of characters that were overtaken by the incredible power of greed. However‚ one character stood out in my eyes. This Character is MR.

The original concept of good and evil can be traced back to the sons of Adam and Eve‚ Cain and Able. Cain killed his brother

Shortly after‚ we began to make our way to our designated gate. The smell of low-priced takeout food filled the air and couldn’t help‚ but leave me feeling overly excited. My son and I navigated our way through the clustered crowds of other keen travellers‚ following the signs above our heads as well as the announcements that
