Introduction: The book I read was Lewis and Clark Among the Indians: By James P. Rhonda. It included a lot of other information that helped me understand Lewis and Clarks view towards the Indians. It introduced me to a new name of the Lewis and Clark Expedition‚ the Corps of Discovery. This book was written in the 3rd person as a narrative. It was written for the purpose of informing the reader of the Corps of Discovery and its major components‚ also to help the reader understand the relationships

discourse on Susan’s controversial absence from Narnia in The Last Battle‚ the focus is often C.S. Lewis’ statement through Jill that Susan has become interested in nothing “except nylons and lipstick and invitations” (Lewis 169)‚ taken as evidence that Susan was rejected because she came into her femininity and sexuality.

Envisage the difference of each culture After reading the article named The Lewis Model Explains Every Culture in the World‚ a scene come to my eyes: during a meeting‚ Germans and Swiss are planning things rigorously‚ Italians and Latin Americans are talking loudly with their bodies dancing‚ Chinese and Japanese are listening quietly.

He believed that love was split into four different types‚ and that to understand love is to know these four types. Storge‚ Phileo‚ Eros‚ and Agape are the four types of loves Lewis speaks about.

Jordan Ferris "While photographs may not lie‚ liars may photograph". This line‚ stated by Lewis Hine‚ a famous photographer from the late 19th to mid 20th century‚ is starting to become a phrase that really has some meaning (McClymer‚ 2011).
