By far the most inspiring book I have read is “Into thin Air”. It is a heartbreaking story from the eye of an amazing climber and writer Jon Krakauer. From the moment I began reading this book, I loved it! I always was in awe of mountain climbing, but before reading this book, I was uninformed of what it is truly like to climb high altitude pitches, the ordeal the guides endure and the mountaineering culture in general. Jon Krakauer’s account gave light to numerous miniscule details about what

Revenge is a punishment given in retribution to one being wronged. Revenge can be divided into two main categories such as public and private revenge. “On Revenge” by Sir Francis Bacon and Julius Caesar by William shakespeare both utilize how public and private revenge can play a part in one’s downfall. Overall, Caesar’s assassination is driven by public retribution rather than private. Sir Francis Bacon’s piece, “On Revenge” analyzes the effect of revenge and the difference between both public

Sometimes the worst events will bring out the best in people. After Hurricane Harvey roared ashore, it was clear that the hurricane had made an impact in the most horrific way. However, ordinary heroes have emerged from the devastation to help those affected by Harvey with whatever means they could. What does a hero look like? Do they wear a cape with a big “S” on their chest? Could it just be you…or maybe even me? Kristel Meadows is a mom and the last person you would think would be a hero. Last

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the epitome of controversy when it comes to the theme of “star-crossed lovers” and tragedies. Particularly in the sense of if the play could even be considered a tragedy. It’s been argued time and time again against the idea that the outcome of the play can be considered a tragedy because of the actions taken by the characters throughout the course of events. The play depicts two young lovers from feuding families who meet and fall in love in one night, marry the

This quotation is recorded from just one of the many letters sent in after Christopher McCandless’s story was published in the magazine entitled Outside. Many people believed that in order to do something as insane as he did that he must be “mentally disturbed”. While people native to Alaska saw him as just another person unprepared for the elements he was about to face. Despite the negative aura that surrounded the story of Chris some people still wondered how all this affected his parents. Any

Many years ago explorers founded the Middle Atlantic colonies. One of the most important explorers that founded the Middle Atlantic Region was Henry Hudson. In 1609 Henry Hudson arrived in the Atlantic states. Hudson was one of the first European to step foot there. He sailed a ship called Half Moon through the entire coast of the Atlantic states. Hudson’s crew saw many rivers and deep bays that in the future was going to be transformed into a colony. Hudson steered Half Moon, his boat, through one

In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer explains how Chris was an individual who didn’t have a liking for materialistic things. He was a person who was in it more for the experience and not for the materials he gained from doing things. He wanted to “have an endlessly changing horizon” as he said in his letter to Ron Franz. He thought it would be good to go out and escape the restraints of society and civilization to truly value what life was giving him and what everything else was taking away from

It is significant in films because it sets the tone as well as enhances the film in many different aspects. It is meant to engage the audience and evoke emotion from them. The Dark Knight is arguably the best movie within the Batman Trilogy by Christopher Nolan. Simply put the film is just epic. Yes the action is great and the late Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker is superb, but it’s the film’s original score from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard that gives The Dark Knight it’s grand feeling
