The book, Mark of the Dragonfly, is a really exciting book. The main character, easgry, is just a small girl in a scrap town, who collects meteors which fall from the sky. One day, she goes out collecting and sees a wagon, but before she can get to it, a meteor lands on it and “kills” everyone in it. However, a girl named Anna survived. She can’t remember anything, but she is tattooed with a dragonfly, with many exotic colors. This means that she comes from the Dragonfly Territories and is protected by the king. If Anna is returned, whomever returns her will get a large sum of gold. However, the only way to get to the Dragonfly Territories is by way of the 401, a large train with, I don’t know, just some docile and gregarious flamethrowers.

We can see that in the story ”Hatchet” about Brian who left on the island himself and that was Brian’s turning point. Another example is the story “Dragonwings” about Moonshadow who faced the turning point that his father moving away and the fear of a new country. The last example I will give is the story “Eleven”. The story “Eleven” is about a girl named Rachel, she faced the challenge that she had to clearly tell people what she wants and what she doesn’t want, and to force herself to grow up.

The history of the Vanger family that is presented is definitely not one most people wouldn’t be proud of. The family has deep roots in the Nazi party and one of the surviving members from that generation still proudly displays his Nazi memorabilia inside his own home, which we see in his home near the end of the film. The general atmosphere and tone that is presented is reflects the environment of the cold and depressing Vanger island, which seems to slowly engulf the two main characters. The island greatly heightens Mikael’s isolation and alienation from the rest of society since his major court
What elements in the story “The Dragon” represent the Freudian Conscious mind? Make sure to provide quotes and references from the story to support your answer. (3 Marks) Throughout the short story, it is evident that at times the psychiatrist retreats to his conscious state often. This is shown when the psychiatrist unwittingly sits in Kirk’s chair and looked at his office as if it were his first time there. Unknowingly the psychiatrist had “moved around to the other side of the circle and lowered himself into Kirk’s chair”. This shows his conscious mind making decisions revealing his true feelings, that the psychiatrist deeply relates to Kirk and can easily put himself in Kirk’s shoes.
Chasing the dragon, most know it as heroin, is an opiate that is an extremely addictive class one drug. Heroin is known as chasing the dragon because, when you first use heroin, you feel euphoria. You keep trying to get more and more of the drug to feel the same feeling you did the first time you used heroin, but it is never the same because your body has created a tolerance for the drug. Therefore, you are chasing a drug that is very destructive and bigger than yourself, just like a dragon. You are chasing after the dragon wherever you can and do whatever you can to get more. We, as Catching Dragons, are a safe-house for drug addicts, more specifically, heroin. Too many deaths come from drug overdoses in Licking County so we have come up with a plan to stop the addiction through a healthy, therapeutic environment by creating a place they can go to seek refuge and help for many loved ones in need.
For my first quarter book assignment, I was to read The Call of the Wild by Jack London and write a report about the book. This book is a fiction (or Realistic Fiction). It is told in Third Person point of view which I think helps the story by giving us an idea of what the character feels. The author’s style is a mix between descriptive and narrative because it is moderately descriptive. It also includes a couple characteristics of a narrative story. The Call of the Wild takes place in the 1890’s during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon region of Canada where it is extremely cold and icy.
The population continues to grow throughout the years. Currently with seven billion people in the world, has shown how much the population has grown from the 1960’s.

Human population is the root of most pressing environmental problems including wildlife, extinction crisis, habitat loss, and climate change.
