...Have you ever had a dry mouth or dry skin? If you have, those are the few signs of dehydration.

...A Gap of sky This essay, written by Anna Hope, is about a girl, who wakes up after a long night of partying with drugs and alcohol. The girl in the story is named Ellie. She is in a big hurry because she has to hand in an assignment at nine a clock. She doesn't have any printer ink left, so she starts trying to find some stores that are still open. After a long time of searching to find a store that is sells printer ink, she finally find a store which is not closed. She buys the ink and walks home to write the essay. There is only one character in this story. Her name is Ellie and she is presented as a girl who likes to party. She is already shown this way in the start of the story, where she is waking up from a wild party the day before. "Cans, some cans of lager, and them more coke arriving and - K, didn't they do some K?" This quote shows the reader, what type of girl Ellie is. There are no doubt that she loves to party, and maybe too much. I would also like to highlight an another quote "Will they really kick her off the course? Or will she have to repeat the year?" This quote indicated, that she has been taking drug and drinking a lot for a longtime now. She has probably recieved a lot of warnings from her school, so it isn't the first time that she is in this bad position. I believe that the author would like us to feel a little bad for her actually. Because she is all by herself, she doesn't have any parents to make limits for her anymore. "Her mother appears...

..."Do ut des" - a motto of pre christian Roman religion, meaning "I give so that you might give". (from the website Ten Ton Hammer proverbs and quotes.) The lasting Legacy of Rome is not Christianity despite the popular belief. Christianity would not be the Lasting Legacy of Rome because it would have spread without the Romans help. The lasting legacy of Rome is the architecture, city additions, the use of art, colosseum, technology, language, and Western democracy that the Romans invented. In the Modern world people use most of the things that the Romans invented every day. The lasting legacy of Rome would be architecture, because the arches and bridges would not be here today if the Romans had not invented them. The Romans invented the arch....

...As Martin Luther states in his quote, faith seizes an individual’s life and allows them to see “clearly” with support in their beliefs. True faith is like water, it flows clearly through the world, but can be easily polluted. The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, is a play that’s theme heavily revolves around and relies on faith. The fact that so many individuals, such as Abigail Williams, have their faith “polluted” and choose to lie and falsely accuse others of witchcraft shows just how easily an individual’s faith can be “polluted”. However, there were also those who had strong faith, like John Proctor and Rebecca Nurse, whom were eventually hanged...

...Cold Mountain Literary Terms Journal 1.) Alliteration (page 137) “Her mind marked every mantis in a stand of ragweed.” Repetition of “m” at the beginning of words. 2.) Allusion (page 5) “He seldom spoke more than a word or two at a time, and Inman had learned little more of him than that his name was Balis and that before the war he had been to school at Chapel Hill, where he had attempted to master Greek. Connects to The Odyssey and the greek gods and goddesses. 3.) Imagery (page 4) “By now he had stared at the window all through a late summer so hot and wet that the air both day and night felt like breathing through a dishrag, so damp it caused fresh sheets to sour under him and tiny black mushrooms to grow overnight from the limp pages of the book on his bedside table.” This sentence is so descriptive and appeals to my sense of touch and feeling it makes me feel like it’s a hot and humid summer night again. 4.) Metaphor (page 68) “[ . . .] gobs of biscuit dough the size of cat heads cooked in the yellow broth.” The authoru related the size of a cat head and biscuit dough, which are two very different things. 5.) Personification (page 1) “At the first gesture of morning, flies began stirring.” The author described the flies’ actions with a humane action. 6.)
