Over the last fifty years‚ or so‚ there have been a few times when these two superpowers headed towards conflict‚ but good sense prevailed in the end and the much feared war

Knowledge is very powerful. We decide whether we want to know something or not. I disagree with the statement that the lack of knowledge can’t hurt you.

While the husband goes out and does

During her time spent at Thornfield Hall‚ Jane finds herself to be unexpectedly “overwhelmed” by Mr Rochester‚ ignoring factors such as his wealth and social status‚ she falls for him helplessly. The reader realises

Magical Realism Paper Life as we knew it quickly evaded from us as the sirens swam around our bodies embedding their screams in our ears and as the consistent sound rang through us‚ the dread over took my body. The war that we all prepared for was here‚ the one we read in our holy books‚ the one which many people spoke about but didn’t prepare themselves for. It was looked upon as a myth‚ but for us it spiraled around fusing itself with time‚ making the war between worlds reality. Nothing that I
