After reading the novel there were many things about my feelings towards war. Before reading the novel I always knew that war was a hard thing on a person‚ emotionally and physically. During the read it really showed me that what soldiers go through is really rough‚ from being in the war but even when returning home. One of the things that stuck out to me is how homesick soldiers get while fighting. While fighting the thought of killing humans‚ but yet also get yourself killed if you do one thing

1. The title of the article itself straight away emphasises on the fact how immature the explorers were‚ by calling them boys and showing how their childishness inevitably affects the reader – “taxpayer get’s rescue bill” – which straight away arouses a negative opinion towards the subject. The third paragraph uses a pattern of three to describe the forces involved: “the Royal Navy‚ the RAF and the British Coastguards”‚ implying that the rescue cost a lot of money and unnecessary trouble.

Prologue It was now only two weeks time until the return of Spring and Persephone seemed eager to return the world of man. Hades didn’t want to admit it‚ but there was an undeniable distance between him and his wife that made his stomach churn with unease. He moved his throne‚ so he was sitting in front of her‚ even now she seemed like she was in a place far from here. He knew he wasn’t the best husband‚ but they were still close when she was home. He looked at her closely‚ the freckles that

The scent of flowers carried strong over the valley. The overwhelming perfume of hundreds‚ if not thousands of untouched petals‚ was long lost to noses that grew up with roses in their nostrils‚ not able to pick out the aroma of a single stem. Not helping was the deepness of the valley‚ with the only way out a steep climb with materials they not only didn’t have‚ but had no hope of ever making. This didn’t arouse any resentment‚ none at all‚ for the villagers were not ones to ponder the unknown

1. Page 16: “You can find money anywhere and everywhere. But the moment you have it‚ it runs right through your fingers.” ~Torvald a. This statement stands out to me‚ it reminds me of slim running through your hands‚ with money being the slim. This image would not be possible without the author’s word choir. He could have just said‚ “you spend money quickly‚” but he decided to add in an element of imagery to capture the audience. 2. Page 33: “However terrible I may actually feel‚ I want to prolong

Sugawara isn’t what you would call a responsible driver before he passed his driving assessment (which took him three whole times to pass by the way) Iwaizumi would often have to pick him up whenever they went on dates. He may seem like the reliable one in his group of friends‚ but really he’s just as wild. This lack of common sense on the road is one of Iwaizumi’s biggest worries. Valentine’s day was approaching‚ and well Suga finally got his licence. It was gross and humid that night when Suga

He discovered an unknown land between Europe and Asia during a trip in 1492 precisely 33 (thirty-three) days after he left the Canary Islands on the Atlantic

1. During the translator’s notes‚ I thought it was interesting when it states that‚ “…translators frequently disagree among themselves as to what a given word or phrase could mean.” When I think about it‚ words in different languages can translate into different meanings and/or other words entirely. For example‚ in English when calling someone an ass‚ the animal representing that word is a donkey. While in Spanish‚ when calling someone an ass‚ it translates to an ox. It is interesting saying one
