    Summary Of The Most Dangerous Game By Mariau

    A.One messages the novel communicates to is no matter who you are or where you come from you can accomplish anything. Another message in this story is to never give up, because if Mariatu had given up after the attack who knows where'd she be. I think the author, Mariatu and Susan include characters such as the man who gave her a mango to eat because at the end it all ties down to the story and her journey. The author had also used settings such as the countries Mariatu went to in the stories because it made a big change in the story.…

    Susan Pfeffer's Life

    Life as We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer is a science fiction novel describing what life would be like if a meteor hit the moon. There would be a change in the tides which would cause severe weather all over the world. In the story, tsunamis, tornados, earthquakes, and volcano eruptions were diminishing the world population by an unimaginable amount. This story focuses on Beth and her family. I found it interesting how, at first, no one really believed it was a big deal and figured things would go back to normal soon. Supplies began running out and things quickly became every-man-for-himself, people’s survival instincts kicking in. Towards the beginning of these tragic events, Beth talks about how she never realised how all the little things in…

    Murder Near Saxon's Lake

    As dawn approached, Cory walked through the forest desperately searching for refuge, when he came across a young woman bathing a pond. He stood behind a bush spellbound as he watched the naked girl swimming in the pond. Just as she was exiting the pond, he caught her attention and told her that he needed to get home. At first, Chile was suspicious of him, but she decided to help him. She took him to a small cottage and bandaged his bruises. When her husband came, she persuaded him to drop Cory back in Zephyr, but he was not willing to do so. Instead he dropped Cory at a gas station, leaving him to use a phone to call for help. Tom came to pick up Cory and he was anxious to hear what his son had gone through. A few weeks after that event, Mayor Swope invited Cory to his office. The mayor congratulated Cory on winning third place in the writing contest and offered to correct his misspelled name on the plaque, but Cory was not worried about it. While in the office, Cory noticed a hat with a green feather on it and immediately concluded that Mayor Swope was the murderer. Just then the lights went out due to the heavy rainstorm, and Cory ran out of the office with the feather at…

They are going to turn on The Bell for the last experiment. Kate is the only one who can survive because in order to activate The Atlantis Gene, you have to sleep in a sleeping tube, but Kate happened to be incubated in one. The Immari and The Nazis come together to eliminate Kate, David, and Patrick. Luckily, David, (like usual) brought a few things. By a few things, I mean a semi automatic machine gun and several grenades.

    Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Hebrew Religious Contrast

    With the smell of the freshly cut parade deck, the sound of Knobs scuffling in the gutters to class, and and the warmth from the radiant Charleston sun, it is just another beautiful day at The Citadel. As the day passes along however, the weather takes a turn for the worse. An unexpected hurricane comes sweeping through the campus in a path of destruction. The hurricane’s destructive force makes a mess of campus, but the history building in particular is hit worst of all. Some of the survivors begin to contemplate why their building was hit so hard, yet the english building is practically unscathed. As if it were something out of a writing prompt, three civilians from ancient worlds have come to offer their possible explanations in an attempt to comfort the professors. The first person, a Hebrew claims that the hurricane was a sign from God that they have sinned beyond return much like the flood from the book of Genesis and that bad things happen to good people, comparable to the Book of Job(Laws, Gods, and Heroes, 51-60). The second, a Babylonian believes that this was the work of many gods, and that the professors were no longer needed for use and disposed of. He compared it to the extinction in “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and suggested that they should live life to the fullest(The Epic of Gilgamesh). The third man was a polytheistic Egyptian, who explained the disaster should be blamed on the pharaoh. He offers comfort in that, now the deceased may proceed to Paradise, and compares the events to the story of Osiris(Laws, Gods, and Heroes, 46-51).…

    Marxist Criticism Of Cormac Mccarthy The Road

    The storm of post-apocalyptic novels has taken much of the literary world by storm in the past century or so. This does not stop just there, of course, it branches so far into other media that the storyline of a human life following the collapse of the world as we know it is not at all an unfamiliar one. Movies, video games, and the traditional books have all taken their own look at this interesting offshoot of (science) fiction and have morphed new concepts and perspectives from this one single origin. One such work that exemplifies this is Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.…

    The Beach/the Storm Descriptive Writing

    The once clear sky is now full of thick cloud, staining the sky a deadly shade of indigo, forever darkening like a lid closing on a box trapping darkness inside it. The saturated clouds start to rumble. Below them, the streets are lifeless as no one dares leave their secure houses for the extreme weather outside. Thunder shakes the clouds, as its loud rumble echoes around the empty beach. The smell of the sea overpowers the old, lingering smell of chips and candyfloss, now only a stench of salt and seaweed are left. Sand storms are whipping up from the shore…

    Meteor Shower

    "Falling stars", “shooting stars" or meteors are the tiny spots of light that splash across the night sky, which are insignificant bits of rock from space. A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to glow from one point in the night sky. Shower meteors enter our atmosphere at speeds up to 71 km/s. They radiate because friction with air molecules heats them to extreme brightness. Almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. They burn up in a second or two at altitudes of around 80 km, high in the ionosphere. Strong and unusual meteor showers are known as meteor storms or meteor outbursts, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour.…
