Traditionally history of the Americas and American population has been taught in a direction heading west from Europe to the California frontier. In Recovering History, Constructing Race, Martha Mencahca locates the origins of the history of the Americas in a floral pattern where migration from Asia, Europe, and Africa both voluntary and forced converge magnetically in Mexico then spreads out again to the north and northeast. By creating this patters she complicates the idea of race, history, and nationality. The term Mexican, which today refers to a specific nationality

“It was one of those bull’s-eyes in history, one of those points where everything comes together, where, if you were at that place at that time, you were part of something big. It meant that we weren’t going to get picked up, not on that day and maybe not ever” (Northrop 1). The mood created by Northrop in Trapped is displayed to the readers as negative vibe. Being trapped at a school in a blizzard is obviously not a good thing. So, as a visual representation to the teenagers situation, the snow is described negatively too. In the book Trapped, Michael Northrop uses the snow to symbolize dreadful times and loneliness.

The first major bioterror event in the United States--the anthrax attacks in October 2001--was a clarion call for scientists who work with "hot" agents to find ways of protecting civilian populations against biological weapons. In The Demon in the Freezer, his first nonfiction book since The Hot Zone, a #1 New York Times bestseller, Richard Preston takes us into the heart of Usamriid, the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, once the headquarters of the U.S. biological weapons program and now the epicenter of national biodefense.

Early in December of 1948 the village of Legends received one of the coldest winters in Legends History.

Before Dan the Snowman started to worry about his villagers, he knew ‘Krampus’ was back and ready for another battle.

A good example of his courageousness and selflessness was when he had the swimming match against Breca. When they were out at sea and swimming as hard as they could, Breca struggled and almost drowned. However, Beowulf, being the honorable hero, even risked himself to save Breca and swim them both back to shore. Even though Breca was a little bit embarrassed in the end by Beowulf saving his life, Beowulf doesn’t try to over exaggerate what happened and doesn’t get mad at Breca.

Welcome to the tour of the book, The Bad Beginning! We start off in the heart of the city where the Baudelaires’ house unfortunately burned down. This is a busy and hard-working street that is relatively safe considering that the Baudelaires are able to go out on their own by themselves. Nothing fancy here, but it is essential to the plot of the story. See, Count Olaf’s house is somewhere within the city unlike any other guardian, therefore pushing the story forward because the Baudelaires had to come to live in his house.

The tale of Adam and Eve, an infamous account in the book of Genesis, depicts man’s original disobedience in eating of the Tree of Knowledge and serves as humankind’s first archetype of the innate relationship between lost innocence and the attainment of knowledge. As portrayed in the story, God’s severe punishment of Adam and Eve for consuming the forbidden fruit insinuates that it is wrong to desire knowledge, more specifically, the knowledge of humanity’s potential for good and evil. The resultant loss of innocence from gaining this moral comprehension is all too frequently regarded as sinful, undesirable, and ultimately regrettable. The concept however, of pursuing a greater understanding of the natures of others and oneself is not fundamentally wrong as it expresses a kind of valuable moral growth. As evidenced by further analysis of the story of Adam and Eve, it is apparent that although acquiring knowledge does

It was a cold day, so cold that your arms start to sting as if a needle is impaling the surface of your skin. The wind applies a force which feels as if your face is oozing with thick crimson red blood. The gray puffy clouds covered the sky and dropped small snowflakes onto the road’s surface. A man stood there, freezing, clearing the coat of thick white snow from the concrete road. His nose runs with a river of snot that floods out when the cold wind strikes. His sense of smell is heavily clogged by the slimy snot, but he can still smell the scent of the steamy hot chocolate which sits on the top of his snow covered car. His feet start to numb because of the cold flood which soaks through his boots to his white, silky socks. His feet feel as if he stepped into the freezing cold ocean. As if he fell through ice and he was stuck standing there. The vast pile of the ice white snow feels almost like a quicksand around his black rubber boot. Foggy figures of people shovel the big piles of snow off the sidewalks. They scrape and pick at the glossy white ice which sticks to the sidewalk like a little boy clinging to his mother's side. His feet still sting as if he was stepping on pins and needles. His hands are damp with sweat from grasping the curved metal shaft attached to a socket which holds the blade. The blade cuts holes into the thick powdered snow which is removed from the endless pile. The jet black shovel is filled with slushy snow and crystal shards of ice. The end of
