    Brief Summary Of Buck's Journey

    Judge Miller’s dog, Buck, a half sheepdog and half St. Bernard, was recently captured by a gardener on the estate, and was sold to dog traders. He was beat in an effort to instill obedience into him. Soon after, Buck is sent to the Klondike region. Two mailmen, named Francois and Perrault, take him as their property. As Buck assimilates to his new sled-dog life, he develops a rivalry with Spitz, one of the lead dogs on his team. One day, Buck gets into a fierce encounter with Spitz, where Buck ends up killing Spitz, and subsequently, becomes the new leader of the team. Francois and Perrault, being inexperienced, force the dogs to carry much heavier loads, resulting in one dog becoming ill. The mailmen send the group of dogs to an assembly of gold hunters, Charles, Hal, and Mercedes. The new masters treat the dogs perfunctorily, and end up falling through a section of ice, pulling in the dogs and the humans into a frozen lake. The dogs are then pulled into John Thornton’s camp, a caring master whom Buck treats with devotion. However, a growing attraction for the wild pulls him away from society. He makes friends with wolves, bears, and moose while the men look for gold. In a battle with the Yeehats, an Indian…

    La Noche Boca Arriba Translation

    He let the ministries zip past (the pink, the white), and a series of stores on the main street, their windows flash ing. Now he was beginning the most pleasant part of the run, the real ride: a long street bordered withtrees, very little traffic, with spacious villas whose gardens rambled all theway down to the sidewalks, which were barely indi cated by low hedges. Abit inattentive perhaps, but tooling along on the right side of the street, heallowed himself to be carried away by the freshness, by the weightlesscontraction of this hardly begun day. This involuntary relaxa tion, possibly,kept him from preventing the accident. When he saw that the womanstanding on the corner had rushed into the crosswalk while he still had thegreen light, it was already somewhat too late for a simple solu tion. Hebraked hard with foot and hand, wrenching him self to the left; he heard thewoman scream, and at the collision his vision went. It was like falling asleep all at once. He came to abruptly. Four or five young men were get ting him out from under the cycle. He felt the taste of salt and blood, oneknee hurt, and when they hoisted him up he yelped, he couldn't bear the presssure on his right arm. Voices which did not seem to belong to thefaces hanging above him encouraged him cheerfully with jokes and assurances. His single solace was to hear someone else confirm that thelights indeed had…

    Jimmy Cross In The Things They Carried

    “I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it” (George McGovern). As said by George McGovern, the Vietnam War was a difficult war that was fought in Vietnam and caused many casualties and is thought to be a horrid war. The things that the American soldiers saw and experienced were unlike any other experiences. These experiences are shared in Tim O'Brien's book, The Things They Carry. Although many of these stories seem to be war stories at a first glance, they can actually be seen as love stories because of the emotional connection each character has with each other.…

    Mercier argues, “ Women were isolated in their homes for specific lengths of time in rooms hung with yards of black cloth. Their bedchambers were entirely covered with it- the floors, ceilings and walls as well as the furniture. 13 Taylor supports Mercier’s argument and adds that widows had to sleep on beds with black sheets and had to receive people who came to pay their condolences, in those special black beds (2010, p.g.- 54). 14…

    Burnham Alone-Olmsted Analysis

    Every other building of substance in Englewood seemed to be charged with the energy of anticipation, not just of the world’s fair but of a grand future expanding far beyond the fair’s end. Within just a couple of blocks of sixty-third rose huge, elaborate houses of many colors and textures, and down the street stood the Timmerman Opera House and the adjacent New Julian Hotel, whose owners had spent heavily on fine materials and expert craftsman. In contrast, Holmes’s building was dead space, like the corner of a room where the gaslight could not reach” (Larson…

    Text Analysis THE GREEN DOOR BY O’HENRY

    The text under analysis is a story written by O’Henry. His real name is William Sidney Porter and O. Henry is his pen name. O. Henry is an American short-story writer of the late 19th century. He is a representative of realism, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. Typical for O. Henry's stories is a twist of plot which turns on an ironic or coincidental [kəuˌɪn(t)sɪ'dent(ə)l] (випадковий) circumstance. Although some critics were not so enthusiastic about his work, the public loved and loves it. The plots of his stories are clever and interesting, and the end is always surprising. His works include ‘The Four Million’, ‘The Gift of the Magi’, ‘The Furnished Room’, ‘Shoes’, ‘The Last Leaf’ and so on. No matter how many times you read them they always give you the same feeling of freshness. So does the story ‘The Green Door’.…
