...There was once a young prince and his brother who were next in line for the royal throne. Before they could be king, they had to each pass a challenge. They were given a steel sword, a shield, and full body armor to complete the first challenge. The oldest brothers’ challenge was to steal a chest full of treasures, such as diamonds and gold, which was guarded by three young dragons. The prince left for the dragons den at once and began to ransack the entire place in search of the treasure. He first searched in the treasure room. He first searched in the treasure room because that was the most logical place to look, but all he found was a few scattered gold coins around the room. He then went to the living area of the dragons den and looked around a bit, and then he saw it, a large chest held together by gold. The prince went over to the chest and opened it up and looked inside. He saw thousands of sparkling diamonds and shining gold bars. Just as he closed the chest and prepared to lift it up, he heard something flying through the air, so he turned to see a large, black tail coming towards him at high speeds, He just had time to crouch down as the tail flew over his head and crashed into the wall behind him. When the prince pulled himself up, he stood facing three angry dragons. The largest one was black, which is the one that tried to kill him. The , flew away. and said to him “I am sorry for this brother” and he stabbed him again, but before the price died he asked his brother...

...where believed the treasure of Captain William Kidd was buried. The hunt for treasure on Oak Island has been going on for over two hundred years. In 1795, evidence of digging was first found by 3 young men. First they hit a platform of old Oak logs. At 93 feet they hit something hard-possibly a treasure chest. The next morning the shaft was found flooded with sixty feet of water. The miners dug 110 feet down. It was only 2 feet from the pit when tones of water burst through. In 1849 they recovered several links of gold chain. While the drilling was going on, someone noticed that the water in the pit was salty and rose and fell with the tide. So the men went in search of hidden inlet of the sea and they found tones of coconut fiber and eel grass on a stone floor which acts as a sponge to soak up and filter. The conduit fell 70 feet down filled...

...I have wondered before if I will have the chance to see the real beauty of life that I can’t find here in the busy city. But at last, after almost two hours of travel, I have seen what I am looking for; the clean river, the cold breeze, the leafy trees and the welcoming smiles of the Bago tribe, such an amazing treasures behind the mountains. Maybe it is the treasure in the end of every rainbow I see. For the pot of gold lie in the hearts of the tribe, their culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of the people. Despite of the developing municipality of Suyo, their culture remained; it is not damaged by the changes. They made sure that their culture will not die by letting the children learn in mind and heart their wonderful culture. The smiles in faces of the children showed that they really love what they are learning. It is soothing to the ears to hear their angelic voices; their ethnic dances made me forget the contemporary dances and how they beat their bamboo instruments made me feel the magic of nature. Even if I cannot understand what they are singing, I felt that they sing to show how proud they are to be part of the Bago tribe and to be thankful of all the blessings that God had given them. They gave thanks that day through a ritual, and a pig was butchered that I think is a sign of their respect and belief to the Lord. Every song they have sung reflected how they live their life in the past and now. I am amazed how they used bamboo cylinders as water containers...

...Oak Island's Money Pit Mystery Who will be the next treasure hunter to squander all of their money in search for a possible treasure on the bottom of a pit when hundreds of people tried without success for centuries to reach the bottom of the "Money Pit"? Is the next treasure hunter going to be able to stop the flow of the water that is preventing anybody from reaching the bottom of the pit? No one has been able to stop the water and solving the mystery for over two hundred years. Yet engineers, rich people, divers, builders and even a U.S President tried very hard to discover what is buried on the bottom of the pit. Is it possible that it could be Captain William Kidd's treasure? Could it be the crown jewels of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinetter? In my research paper I will first be explaining about the history of the mysterious "Oak Island "Money Pit". Next I will be explaining some of the techniques that were used to dig up and dry up the "Money pit". Finally I will present three theories of the content of the pit and how the seawater keeps seeping in the pit. From what i been reading although many interesting things have been found in the pit which are supporting the idea of something special being buried there, no finding up to this point has been conclusive. Everything started when a mere boy was hunting on a deserted island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada in 1795. In "Mystery Island Baffles Treasure Hunters" by Edwin Teale, he explains how, "One day, early in the...

...One day Peter found a treasure map. He decided to find this treasure, and have some adventure! Peter set off. He walked a long way and finally reached a forest. There he met Lion. “You are strong and courageous,” said Peter to Lion. “Will you come with me on a treasure hunt?” Lion agreed and joined Peter. The forest was dense and dark. Peter was afraid but with Lion by his side, he made it through. When the two finally reached the mountain they met Eagle. “You have excellent vision and can alert us to dangers,” said Peter to Eagle. “Will you come with us? We’re looking for a treasure.” Eagle agreed and joined Peter and Lion. The mountains were tall and craggy. Lion slipped but Peter was swift enough to give him a hand and pull him up. Eagle with his sharp vision watched every step they took. Soon, they reached the valley below where they met Sheep. “Will you join us in our search for treasure?” Peter asked Sheep, “and keep us warm when it’s cold?” Sheep agreed and joined Peter, Lion and Eagle. A cold wind swept across the endless meadow. They all huddled against Sheep who kept them warm and cozy. The four finally reached the desert where they met Camel. " You are called the ship of the desert,” said Peter to Camel, “will you help us get across and join the treasure hunt too?” Camel agreed. All exclaimed in surprise. Peter, Lion and Sheep mounted the camel and happily set off across the vast desert with Eagle enjoying the spectacle from above. Camel began galloping and everybody...

...Mohannad Zawi Mr. Mackay ENG-4U0 October 31st, 2011. The Fight for Survival Can Truly Lead People to Do Things They Wouldn’t Do When it comes to The Road by Cormac McCarthy & Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, it takes a lot to compare the two. Can these classic literary novels truly be compared? Luckily, you will find just how much they can be compared as you read this essay. In order to consider just how similar these 2 books are, consider the following: The main characters of their respective books ultimately aim to survive their landscapes, both of the main characters are on a journey for the betterment of their lives, and both of these novels portray similar themes. While one book has a seemingly miniscule cast and the other a large ensemble of roving buccaneers, they still manage to be comparable, and through their similarities a better experience is enjoyed for fans of the books. Both main characters of their respective books ultimately aim to survive by dealing with harsh environments. We understand that The Man from The Road has to deal with a barren, apocalyptic wasteland, and with this situation he uses his knowledge & wits to survive this harsh environment, for example, he carves makeshift bullets out of wood in order to scare off attackers: “While the boy slept he sat on the bunk and by the light of the lantern he whittled fake bullets from a tree branch with his knife, fitting them carefully into the empty bores of the cylinder and then whittling...

...Memorandum To: Senior Partner From: Junior associate Re: Robert Langdon Litigation Date: 9th September 2015 ___________________________________________________________________________ Question Presented Robert Landon a construction worker found an old wallet on top of an air duct behind the walls while renovating the second floor of Springfield College of Law. The wallet had $324 dated back to 1972 and no other identification cards. Would Langdon be successful in having the wallet declared to be “lost property” as opposed to “mislaid” and would he be entitled to the money as the finder of the wallet? Brief Answer Robert Langdon will not be successful in having the wallet declared as a lost property and he will have no claim to the money in the wallet. According to the general rule if the property is not found in plain sight and is concealed by some external barrier or there was a substantial effort required to find it, then the property is considered to be mislaid as opposed to lost. This is on the grounds that the owner of the property deliberately hid it in a place where it could not be found easily as opposed to lost property where the owner unintentionally loses his property. In the case of mislaid property, the possession of the property goes to the owner of the premises where it was found. Whereas in the case of lost property, if the property is not claimed by the owner within 12 months, the finder has the claim to the lost property. In this case, the cash was...

...National Treasure The action film National Treasure starring Nicholas Cage is known as a “drama filled action movie” (New York Times), but what most people don’t know is that it was also known for its historical and inspirational side. This movie is a triple threat with action, inspiration and history all combined into a fantastic hour and a half film. In an action movie there must be a chase of some kind and/or a hero and a villain. In National Treasure, it has Nicholas Cage as the hero and Sean Bean as the villain. These two character have a common goal of finding the next clue that leads to the treasure. There are multiple times that the hero gets beaten down, but the villain in the end always seems to never get the upper hand. As the movie went on, there were also times when the hero had to blur the lines in between good and evil for the greater good. For instance, when Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) was in the planning process of stealing the Declaration of Independence, he had to face the risk of being caught. During the movie, the audience feels a sense of inspiration to start their own adventure. The world of unknown is evident in this film during the search for the next astonishing clue. With every step the hero has to follow the clues, but also watch his/her back for the villain trying to steal what is not rightfully his/hers. For example, as Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) was entering the tomb underneath Wall St. he was being followed by Ian Howe (Sean Bean). Ian left Ben...
