The society of 1984 by George Orwell is a frightening one‚ what with there being only three countries‚ and the country of Oceania being ruled by one man‚ Big Brother. The government system is greatly based off of communism‚ which was a touchy subject at the time the book was written. Many people fear that our society has begun to edge closer to the society of 1984; however‚ this is not the case. Our society is not edging closer that of 1984’s because of the outlandish changes that would be necessary

The catapult works through torsion‚ which is the tension caused when an object is twisted in one direction while the other end is motionless or twisted in the opposite direction‚ with equal and opposite torques at each end. Now to the construction of the catapult‚ we first had to decide which type we would build. We decided on the mangonel catapult because of its seemingly

He lured another man into his family’s catacombs‚ trapped him inside the wall‚ laid bricks and cement‚ and then set him on fire. It’s evil‚ dark‚ twisted‚ and a cruel way to die. However‚ Fortunado wasn’t so clean. He was extremely proud and foolish enough to get drunk with his enemy around‚ and then follow him into a dark‚ cold‚ and creepy place.

It becomes obvious the twisted relationship when Gottdchild later describes one of Rice’s most famous acts called the "Jump Jim Crow" based off

Who does not want to read a great epic poem? I personally like to read a good story cuddled up with my blanked‚ tucked away in a tiny nook‚ and let my imagination run wild while I read; especially when it is cold and rainy outside. “The Odyssey” by Homer‚ is one of those epic poems no one can get enough of. Ancient Greek mythology seems to impress a vast majority of people up to this day in age. It does target a variety of readers. Homer‚ the author‚ created a master piece with this epic poem; The

By describing his face with such vivid detail‚ it gives the reader a mental image of just how much this sin affects him. Hawthorne also uses a simile comparing how the writhing horror twisted itself around his face to a snake gliding to emphasize the treacherous conditions guilt has shown upon Dimmesdale
