interesting period in Greek sculpture is the Classical period. During this glorious period of unbelievable craftsmanship‚ numerous pieces celebrated the Greek’s infatuation with fable and war.

In Delany’s article "Pilgrim at Topanga Creek”‚ Boyle makes a social commentary about possible causes and solutions for the immigration problem through further development of coyotes as a symbol for immigrants. This is my favorite example because it ties so many different aspects of the novel together with the metaphor. On the surface‚ Delany describes coyotes in his article as “our cleverest and most resourceful large predator” (p.211). He claims that they are able to take advantage of the resources

In fact‚ syndrome-based testimony can be used to help establish that a particular woman is not a legitimate battered woman. Unless a battered woman’s experience of violence conforms to the pattern detailed within Walker’s cycle theory of violence‚ or is consistent with learned helplessness‚ the evidence will essentially be viewed as irrelevant and disregarded

type of guy and I don’t really get into much that’s too crazy for someone my age. This isn’t something that’s very known about me but I thought it’d be a good story to tell either way. The story takes place when I’m around ten years old in Wilson’s Creek. At this time I was with my dad and I was extremely small and didn’t pay a lot of attention.
