Fullmetal Alchemist

“Fullmetal Alchemist” by Hiromu Arakawa is a book that perfectly reflects on human behaviour, and though does contain fictional content, makes many references to real world struggles and issues.

something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy’s first Law of Equivalent Exchange.” (Alphonse Elric). Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse on a mission to get their bodies back after discovering the power of the Philosopher’s stone.

Her argument that Female Gothic

My dad is a veteran who is 70% disabled, he can't stay on his feet to long or it will hurt his knees and asking him to work would hurt him way too much.

#3 I think Jan Brett’s website is very beneficial for students and even teachers. She gives a lot of free, creative activities to do. I believe children would love this site because there are so many options and different activities, a student would have to find something he or she would enjoy doing.

He’s committed many murders by chopping up his victims with a butcher knife, I guess you could say that’s how he got his name. “Yes, Sir.” replied Riza. Her and Alphonse started to walk down the dreary tunnel in the opposite direction. We were underneath laboratory

Phil’s POV Dan and I were sitting on our sofa watching Fullmetal Alchemist. I wasn’t really paying attention, as Dan’s wrist was facing upward and uncovered by the bracelet he usually wears. The name on it was so boring sounding, “Brad Smith.” He’s probably an office worker, with a boring life. Probably lives in an apartment building like ours, but his flat is twice the size of ours. I didn’t realize that Dan had paused the show until he poked me. I turned to look at him, his smile turned downward
