the Kanun. In the beginning of the text while Gjorg is in the funeral procession, He is described as “[Feeling] the urge to get out of that absurd situation, to bolt from the funeral cortege”. (pg 16). And later on in that chapter of the text, it states that “...he knew very well that he could never run away, no more than his grandfather, his great-grandfather, his great-great-grandfather, and all his ancestors five hundred, a thousands years before him had been able to run away.” (pg 16). The repetition

the title not only represents how April, for Gjorg, has been metaphorically “broken”. It seems to suggest the breakdown of Bessian and Diana’s relationship as well. They are a tragic couple, whose marriage disintegrates to an almost unsalvageable state by the end of the novel, with Kadare using words such as “empty” to describe it. Kadare also uses the landscape around them as a metaphor for their fading marriage. For example, when Bessian failed to get a conversation going with Diana, Kadare mentioned

possible causes of such crises. From the analysis of scholars in the field of conflict resolution, causes of conflict can range from historical, mythological and political perspectives to mention a few. Dawan (2004) traces the root of the crisis in Plateau State to people. He opines that, “the settlers” feel they were being labeled as such in order to be further marginalized”. This feeling among the people instigated the debate on the ownership of Jos. Also, the creation of Local Governments and Federal

are the two highest ranked identity makers for a vast majority of Nigerians than other indices such as state, national, ECOWAS and African identity”. His research revealed that “northerners are more inclined towards religious identification, and southerners are likely to rank ethnicity first, ethnicity was discovered to be the second highest ranked identity country-wide after religion, with state and national identity coming third and fourth, respectively” (Ellsworth, 1999). This finding introduces

As I mentioned earlier, I just assumed it was always there in a state similar to that which it is right now. There are many theories about how the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon. The video mentions three theories. The first is that several rivers merged and their combined power cut the canyon. The second is the combination of the river cutting through the plateau as the land uplifted around it. The third theory that the video addresses is by John Douglas

December 2016 Bryce Canyon Bryce Canyon National Park is a one of a kind, grand formation located in southern Utah, east of neighboring Zion National Park and north of Grand Canyon National Park. All three of these parks share a place on the Colorado Plateau but Bryce is the only one to feature natural hoodoos, extensive wildlife, and an environment prime for any person to surround themselves with the artwork of mother nature. Ever since 1915, when the park was first founded, people from all pieces of

Many will attest to the grandeur of the natural feature that exists in northern Arizona, but the formation of the Grand Canyon has befuddled geomorphologists to this day. This confusion can be attributed to the Kaibab Plateau, an anomaly considering the Colorado River traverses it seamlessly. Four prevalent hypotheses have been proposed since the 19th century, starting with the lake overflow proposition first brought up by John Newbury and then reinforced by Eliot Blackwelder. Newbury argued that

The final piece of evidence for a worldwide flood is the Grand Canyon. An article describing the Grand Canyon states, “The general scientific consensus, updated at a 2010 conference, holds that the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon beginning 5 million to 6 million years ago.” (Zimmermann, 2013) However, it is obvious that the Colorado river could not have carved the Grand Canyon. It is much too small to carve such an enormous monument, and it shows a surprising lack of erosion for being millions

a six decade long drought during the mid-1100s. This drought was longer than any other drought know to the region. The Colorado River is essential to the American Southwest, draining into about 242,000 square miles of land to include seven U.S. states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted in a recent report that the Southwestern U.S. Will become hotter and drier as the climate warms.” With human caused

The Grand Canyon is a plateau canyon.Summer temperatures on the South Rim are relatively pleasant (50°s - 80°s F; 10°s to high 20°s C) but inner canyon temperatures are extreme. Daytime highs at the river, 5000 feet below the rim, often exceed 100° F (38° C) The average amount of rainfall in the canyon is less than 16 inches. The canyon has a North Rim and a South Rim both of which are located in the United States of America, the South Rim Visitor Center’s coordinates are 36°03'32"N 112°06'33"W
