Due to the natural instinct of man to explore, the explorers just that to figure out the mysterious Indians. The explorers later theorized that the Indians came from Siberia through a land bridge in the Bering Strait during the time when the water levels were not high. They also realized that it was difficult to predict the times when things happened to the Indians since they did not keep written records. Then they figured out by use of imagination that the Indians crossed over the land bridge to Alaska finding wild game.

746 Words - 3 Pages.... and turned in his tracks three times. He then tied a lock of his
hair with a thread to keep the witches away. "You do that when you've lost a
horseshoe that you've found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but I
hadn't ever heard anybody say it was any way to keep of bad luck when you'd
killed a spider."(Twain 5).

The books are piled on the table "perfectly exact"(111), the table had a cover made from "beautiful oilcloth"(111), and a book was filled with "beautiful stuff and poetry"(111). He even appraises the chairs, noting they are "nice split-bottom chairs, and perfectly sound, too-not bagged down in the middle and busted, like an old basket"(111). It is apparent Huck is more familar with busted chairs than sound ones, and he appreciates the distinction.
Huck is also more familiar with flawed families than loving, virtuous ones, and he is happy to sing the praises of the people who took him in. Col. Grangerford "was a gentleman all over; ....

A Thousand Acres: The Monopoly Game
1151 Words - 5 Pages.... other life. The scene is that of the "Million-Dollar Monopoly Tournament."
If the reader reads through the monopoly scenes narrowly and doesn't give them any critical thought, it seems as though there is no correlation to them and the book. While the game may have only lasted for two weeks for a couple of hours each night, it didn't stop them from playing in spite of all the work that had to be done (81). The tournament is significant to the book in that it illustrates the another aspect of their lives that Smiley left out.
The infamous monopoly tournament between Ginny, Ty, Rose, Pete, and Jess went beyond a mere harmless board game played to pass the time and fill p ....

Book Report On A Tale Of Two C
1899 Words - 7 Pages.... Sydney and the seamstress, who are both being wrongfully killed, comfort each other just before they reach the guillotine, and they seem to have an instant romantic connection with each other. I loved this scene because it showed that Sydney Carton had finally found someone who could love him, as he could love them, but it saddened me that he had found her just before their deaths.
Another scene I particularly enjoyed was the scene in which a large cask of wine had dropped and broken in the street. Because many people had very little to eat or drink, a large crowd gathered around the dirty puddle and began drinking what they could of the spilled wine. This scene wa ....

667 Words - 3 Pages.... was a deacon in his church, an inventor, and a noted children's
photographer. Wonderland, and thus the seeds of his unanticipated success as a
writer, appeared quite casually one day as he spun an impromptu tale to amuse
the daughters of a colleague during a picnic. One of these girls was Alice
Liddell, who insisted that he write the story down for her, and who served as
the model for the heroine.
Dodgson eventually sought to publish the first book on the advice of friends
who had read and loved the little handwritten manuscript he had given to Alice
Liddell. He expanded the story considerably and engaged the services of John
Tenniel, one of the best known artists i ....
