three young boys from in West Memphis, Arkansas, were brutally murdered and mutilated. As a result of the town being in shock, they were quick to point fingers and falsely accuse “outcast” civilians as suspect. Damien Echols was sentenced to death, Jessie Misskelly Jr. was sentenced to life imprisonment plus two 20-year sentences, and lastly, Jason Baldwin was also sentenced to life imprisonment. It is not only utterly horrifying that three young boys were brutally murdered, but also horrifying that

Even though Dante and Chaucer never met, Dante having died 19 years before Chaucer was born, Dante inadvertently became Chaucer’s life long mentor. Dante’s severe spirit turned out to be far more harsh than Chaucer’s nature, however Dante’s protégé, Boccaccio, became one of Chaucer’s greatest inspirations.

Gladiator by Ridly Scott I am going to watch the film Gladiator by Ridly Scott. I hope to accurately describe and analyse how the director creates a feeling of tension, suspense and how overall he makes the film believable. I will not analyse the whole film, but just two of the scenes.

Church in the Middle Ages played a significant role in society. Unfortunately though, the church is often regarded as the capital of corruption, evil, and worldliness. Today, so many people depict the medieval church as being led by materialistic popes, devouring tithes from poverty-stricken peasants, having various illegitimate children, and granting indulgences for money from wayward believers. Yes, circumstances like this may have been the case, and is often hard to disapprove, considering the
