Grendel’s last words “Poor Grendel’s had an accident… so may you all.” can be interpreted in many different ways‚ but for the most part it seems like a curse.

Sister Dorothy was a woman who wanted to get her word out and make what people thought was impossible‚ possible. That is one of the reasons why I admire her the most‚ she was convinced that she was able to rebuild the forest to make it where it was before. I also admired her courageousness to step out and do the job even though she was on the death list in the Amazon. She knew what she was doing everyday was a possibility of her getting punished by the gunmen. There are not a lot of people in this

I believe the Poem‚ The Last Word‚ by Peter Davidson is about the slaughtering of an innocent animal by a novice butcher. The reluctance of the action expressed in the poem makes it obvious that the killer is inexperienced with killing animals because they still have a hard time committing the action. And we are going off of the idea that no man is innocent‚ the one executed would have to be some kind of animal. The animal in the story most likely grew up in captivity and had its spirit broken

Asian Studies 102 “The Last Emperor” was a very interesting film‚ rich in historical truth and an accurate portrayal of past events that occurred in China during the 1900s. The story was very easy to follow and gave a more modernized approach to teaching the impacts of historical proceedings by using the English language but not forgetting to keep the facts in order. This approach gave me the opportunity to see the different actors as if it were truly identical to what this time period was
