In this town the people looked up to Albert Rasmussen because he was smart and decided to stay in Bounty after graduation. Albert had gathered the whole town over in his family room to have a discussion.

This paper examines five different sources of information that addresses information pertaining to wakeful resting or sleeping and the effects it has on memory garnered by experiments performed on humans and animals. Wakeful resting is defined as an individual that has not fallen asleep but has engaged in a period of rest that cuts them off from the distractions of the outside world. Sleep is the bodies natural cycle of rest that suspends the consciousness and allows both the body and the mind to take a break from any stressful activities and recover. By either taking a short wakeful rest or going to sleep after learning new material, memory consolidation in both humans and animals will be improved, and it is not limited to humans that
Sleep is a beautiful thing, but people do not get enough of it. It is a time for the body to rejuvenate and process the events of the day. Sleeping is something that we seek out.

In this soliloquy from Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part II, King Henry laments about his inability to sleep. He wonders why thousands of his subjects are able to find rest, and questions why and what he has done to deserve this restlessness. He compares himself to his subjects, and asks why such vile and lowly people are able to find rest in places far less ideal than his living quarters while a royal king such as he is plagued with insomnia. This soliloquy is effective at portraying the thoughts and disposition of the king, which show his total disdain for his lack of sleep and insomnia, and it does so through the diction, imagery, and syntax that are present within the excerpt.
