He is the male version of “Rapunzel”. Tran Van Hay is the man with the longest hair in the world. Measuring over 22 feet and weighs 23 lbs, it’s quite a difficult for Tran as it’s too heavy and such a burden on top of his head to carry. We couldn't blame him though as he had been traumatized when cut his hair and got sick at the age of 25. So he decided not to cut his hair since then. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 79.

To simply answer the question, the answer would be that they had very little success in creating their ‘National Community’. Between the years 1933-39 the Nazi party set upon an idea of creating their own race of racially pure Germans, an Aryan race. And to do this they had to remove all the people they had thought of as unfit and against what they saw as the Aryan race, and create a Volksgemeinschaft. Volksgemeinschaft was a people’s community, where everybody was equal in race. The Nazi party was prepared to go to extreme lengths to ensure that they got this racially pure race, killing unfit Germans was a solution.

Stephen B. Presser argues that “for the Framers of the Constitution the practice of politics was all about how to distribute power within the government in order to preserve private property, individual rights, and the rule of law which secured both.” The constitution has kept these rights for not just the majority but also the minority people of the United States of America. The framers wanted a self-government that would balance power so that the minorities would not lose these rights. The check and balance system of our country has held true despite the party system that our framers despised greatly. The framers believed that the party system would not be helpful to our government, but the minorities have more power today and there are more parties than ever in history.
The graphic novel, Maus by Art Spiegleman, vividly depicts the story of Vladek Spiegleman's experiences of the Holocaust. The hardships of the Holocaust continually influence Vladek, and resonate through future generations, ultimately affecting his son, Art. Maus contains two primary narratives one taking place in Poland during World War II(WWII), and the other taking place in New York during the late 1970s to the early 1980s. The relationship between these two narratives of the past and present seems to be the central idea in this graphic novel. The story illustrates the past experiences of Vladek during the holocaust and how it shapes the present. Due to the unusual style, it is at times very hard for Art Spiegleman to get the characters'

Sea ice has significant importance in the northern Arctic. The sea ice is extremely vital for the marine animals that live in this ecosystem. In particular the sea ice allows them to hunt, mate, and travel. The sea ice allows animals such as polar bears to hunt and search for their prey that lives underwater. It helps females and males find mates to grow their population, and lastly the sea ice allows for polar bears to travel from different locations. Another reason for the importance of sea ice is that it helps keep our planet cool particularly through the albedo effect (Kaitlin, 2016). Potential consequences of the melting of the sea ice could have devastating effects of marine animals in the north, and also for our entire planet because
In a world which she defined as ‘social science fiction’, Margaret Atwood brings clarity and life to a situation many would deem unimaginable. Those who immerse themselves in her novel are still able to see it as a dystopian society and thus detach themselves from the text itself. The readers comprehend the apparent loss of freedom and pain that the characters go through and have the knowledge that they exist outside of this story; its happenings will not affect them. This very phenomenon is introduced in The Handmaid’s Tale when the main character recalls a time before the fall of society as they knew it. Regarding the stories in the newspaper, the main character says that “We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the
