I have seen or read about the beautiful places that are located in India. Kashmir is a heaven on earth with its bracing climate and scenic beauty. Bombay‚ the gateway of India‚ is a natural harbour with beautiful surroundings. Chandigarh‚ a union territory‚ is the most well laid out city of India and speaks volumes for the skill of the French designer who planned it. The Taj at Agra is the most beautiful Tomb which symbolises eternal love. But I have not seen a more beautiful place than the Mughal

where I was lying in my bed and I was on my own. I had nothing exciting to keep me busy‚ so I decided to pay a visit to my attic. The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I entered the room was my favourite teddy bear‚ a simple present from an old best friend‚ Maria. She gave it to me as a birthday present many years ago. At that particular moment many memories from my childhood started parading in front of my eyes. I was transferred back‚ years ago when I was only eleven years old. I was

I had decided that by traveling through the forest would be the quickest way home. Minutes passed‚ yet it seemed like hours and days. The farther I traveled into the forest‚ the darker it seemed to get. It was very hard to even take a breath due to the stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening beat of my own

In the first quote that is presented everything that Roach discusses about respect seems to be contradicted. I selected this quote because it made me imagine the cadaver as a simple laundry sack that is being used as a target to shoot at. Of course this act

“I’m Not Scared” by Niccolo Amminiti. The title of the novel is ironic because it means a denial of fear‚ but is contradicted by experiences of characters‚ especially Michele.

Stiff It may sound odd‚ but Stiff by Mary Roach is by far the most lively and enthusiastic approach on discussing death that I have ever read. The author did something in this work that I never thought was possible. She made death enjoyable to read about. She even stated‚ “Death. It doesn’t have to be boring.” (Roach 11). She successfully took on one of the most serious‚ dismal topics and made it enjoyable to read. The way she is able to do this is by using a style all her own which
