“The Stolen Party” by Liliana Heker As soon as she arrived she went straight to the kitchen to see if the monkey was there. It was: what a relief! She wouldn’t have liked to admit that her mother had been right. “Monkeys at a birthday?” her mother had sneered. “Get away with you‚ believing any nonsense you’re told!” She was cross‚ but not because of the monkey‚ the girl thought; it’s just because of the party. "I don’t like you going‚" she told her. "It’s a rich‚ people’s party." "Rich

that all you can see is this beautiful canvas of buildings. As we drove closer you could begin to see the combination of brick‚ steel and glass. The buildings look as though they are touching the sky; the clouds were floating around the Sears Tower. The glass and steel from the buildings would glisten as the sun struggled to shine through. The second time the Chicago Skyline burnt and image in my mind. I was a teen again driving from the North heading down the same interstate‚ however

In December 1483 the bodies of Prince Richard and Prince Henry‚ only 12 and 9‚ were found murdered in the Tower of London. The mystery of who killed the boys is still a mystery to this day‚ however many suspect their uncle Richard III of York.

“Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murderers respectable…” (Orwell‚ 1946). In politics‚ politicians use their language skills as a power tool to swipe away their competitors and to gain the support of the commoners on a regular basis. When government budgets disappear‚ MPs would often blame others. One would doubt that Rob Ford would still be in the Toronto mayoral race if he did not have strong language skills to get him out of his drug and assault accusations. In the

the 2nd of October 1452‚ was a man recognised‚ not for the Battle of Bosworth Field‚ nor for being the King of England from the years of 1483 to 1485‚ but for the alleged slaughter of his two nephews‚ Edward V and Richard‚ Duke of York‚ in London Tower‚ 1483.

One person who is in this category is Victor Lustig‚ I say this because he sold the Eiffel tower. And when he got caught for selling the Eiffel Tower it was obviously beneficial to all of the French people because they got a big tourist attraction back‚ and they generated more money.
