Coco is the story of a young boy in Mexico named Miguel who enjoys music, but is apart of a family that has banned all forms of music due to a family feud. During The Day of the Dead, he is whisked away to the Land of the Dead where he is given a chance to learn about his family's past and their hate for music.

his growing disability, and nobody believes they can do it, plus the men’s inability to stay in one place. To begin with, Steinbeck uses Lennie’s growing disability as a force acting on the main characters’ inevitable failure. After taking away a dead mouse, George said, “that mouse ain’t fresh, Lennie; and besides you’ve broke it pettin’ it” (9).

The Vikings lived in denmark during this time period and they had similar beliefs as the ancient Egyptians. The Vikings also bury their dead, cremate them, or send them off to sea.

The Waste Land is considered by most to be T. S. Eliot's best poem. It has five sections which consist of war, trauma, disillusionment, death, and talks about the after effects of World War I. The poem ends with the hope of peace. The poem is a long poem that has a mood that starts out depressing and continues to be that throughout the poem. There are so many ways to compare this poem to what is going on today. I plan on breaking each of these down. I will now summarize the five sections of the
