You will see by the date of my letter, that our quarters are changed. We came to Indianapolis last Tuesday and were walked without a moment's delay to Camp Carrington where ae are presently digs in. We have wonderful quarters here, everything is agreeable and masterminded helpful and methodicallly. The camp here looks to some degree military, other than we have disipline. The young men are somewhat sad they can't have such simple times as they had at Camp Lindsay. They don't care to have the rules drawn so firmly at the same time.…

Further on in stave one of ‘A Christmas Carol’ Charles Dickens uses list to give the audience a deeper picture of Scrooge and his character, he is described as ‘solitary as an oyster’, suggesting that Scrooge is a lonely figure, making the audience feel, somewhat, sorry for him. However, Dickens goes on to describe him as a ‘covetous old sinner’, again emphasising Scrooges scathing manner. Scrooge is shown to have a negative attitude, especially demonstrated through his relationship with his employee, Bob Cratchit. Bob Cratchit is not even given a name until the 24th page of the novella, perhaps showing that Scrooge has not developed a relationship with…

Dickens’ portrayal of the Cratchit family demonstrates the important values of family and gratitude, which are effectively measured through their contentment with life. Although it is not a monetary scale, Dickens conveys the significance of their value for each other as a whole family by creating busy bustling scenes to describe their preparation for a Christmas feast. Bob Cratchit is devastated when he thinks one of his five children, Martha, cannot make it to the dinner, and the importance of family is exemplified when Martha no longer has the heart to see his spirits wilt away. Tiny Tim’s broken body does not deteriorate his jovial spirit, as he remains grateful for the life he has been given, expressing his contentment by exclaiming “God bless us, everyone”, in spite of destitute living conditions. Such appreciation is also seen in Bob, who, in spite of his low wage, gives a toast to Scrooge. This acts as another measure for the important things in life, as it highlights the…
Primarily, Dickens symbolises poverty and death with the character of Tiny Tim. Notably, he shows that Scrooge is greatly affected by the the family’s poverty, but especially on the crippled Tiny Tim, a character that Dickens includes to represent the population of poor children as Tiny Tim is a helpless victim of poverty. Scrooge’s newfound empathy is shown, ‘tell me if Tiny Tim will live’ showing that seeing this life of poverty has changed his attitude to the poor. The spirit warns Scrooge that, ‘If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die’, filling Scrooge with, ‘penitence and grief’, and a desire to help Tiny Tim, ‘Scrooge had his eye upon them, and especially on Tiny Tim, until the last.’ Ultimately, the harshness of poverty is shown by the death of Tiny Tim,…

Dear Barney and Rachel Gottstein How are you? How were the holidays? (I can't believe that this month, which was full of holidays, went by so quickly).…
This Christmas is one, which is like no other. Overseas in Europe, dictators are rising to power and it seems that the countries over there are preparing for another war. Meanwhile in my own country, the collapse of the stock market has sent my country’s economy in a downward plunge. Therefore, what I would like is for you to help the economy get back to where it used to be. Immediately after World War 1, my economy rose up to great heights as the war had helped create jobs and our financial position helped us loan money to other countries. The depression has caused a ripple effect that has been reflected in the European countries as well.…
How are you? I hope that everything is fine with you, and that the holidays were pleasant.…
Imagine this: it’s December 25th, 1985, you wake up bright and early and you excitedly hop out of bed and run over to your siblings bed to wake them up too. After they get out of bed, you guys run across the hall to get your parents up. Shortly after that, you race your sibling to the living room and discover the handful of presents that Santa left for you. You rip open all six of the gifts left underneath the tree and you couldn’t be more grateful. After that, you play with your toys for hours on end and you couldn’t have asked for anything better.…
Barrick Gold has worked against everything we’ve worked so hard for to build and the government seems to give such little importance about this problem we are facing and who gets affected during this process or the damage it’s causing.

The consequences that this evil company produces are: theft, fraud, eviction peasant of the environment: water pollution, poisoning of animals, and destruction of…
