2608 Words - 10 Pages.... stories about Marilyn's death. I have
chosen two very important references. These references have facts leading
up to the very moment she died. Phone records, visitors, etc. It's very
hard for me to believe that someone so high on life and talking about her
new marriage to Joe Dimaggio on August 1, just three days before her death,
would commit suicide.
The coroner said “Marilyn was laughing and chatting on the

Emily Bronte
273 Words - 1 Pages.... Bronte (1816-1855), Emily (Jane) Bronte (1818-1848), and Anne Bronte (1820-1849), and their brother (Patrick) Branwell Bronte (1817-1848), were born in Thornton, Yorkshire. The Bronte children's imaginations transmuted a set of wooden soldiers into characters in a series of stories they wrote about the imaginary kingdom of Angria-the property of Charlotte and Branwell-and the kingdom of Gondal-which belonged to Emily and Anne.

The relationship of these stories to the sisters' later novels is a matter of ....
