Houdini's Short Story

This immensely massive army served two important roles given by Qin Shi Huangdi: to protect his tomb after death and to follow him into the afterlife. The mighty army consisted of approximately 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots, and 520 horses, but what was even more astonishing was that each soldier was individually unique. Everything was made from a clay-based unglazed ceramic (Check someone’s notes for that).

Choosing A Dream, written by Mario Puzo on July 11, 1999, depicts a poor immigrant Italian boy in the Neapolitan ghetto of New York with his dreams of becoming an artist.

Both stories are written in first person, from the point of view of two children immigrants forced to adapt to American society; As such, we will compare and contrast their similarities and differences during their integration into this new mesh of social disparity and the way American culture had heterogeneous effects on one and the other.

She pulled herself out of bed and rolled her feet into worn out pink slippers she had gotten five years ago for christmas. She dragged herself to the white bathroom where most of her tears would be shed and then lead herself darkest closet full of black and got dressed for the day.

Jon was moving his room upstairs. Sure, it would be a smaller room, but still. He couldn’t deal with the two alphas in this house. Mainly when they were in rut, the grinding and growling from the two downstairs was distracting when he was trying to practice his violin, and not feeling weird and rutting against his own pillows, confused as he acted like he was in his heat with no other signs of being in heat.
