individual dancing as they do so until they collapse or the day is done. One last tradition that both Hopi and Navajo people can relate to are sweat lodges. However, in Lakota people they are referred to as Rock Lodges or Inipi. The reason for this is because it is for their ancestors (the rocks) who are being focused on, not the individuals within. The rock lodge is seen as the womb of the earth. This is why

mocking account – “a satirical bite”. This is the main thematic contrast of the two texts. We find Lodge is very unclear in who is denounced, what the author feels about society. It is very difficult to gauge what the author thinks about the deindustrialisation of Britain in the 1980’s. Therefore we find the passage to be very much gentler in comparison, Lodge is not hostile to the West Midlands. Lodge mainly writes with a dry informative tone throughout most of the narrative. At times his writing

The Shining, a novel written by Stephen King followed by a film directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1980 is a horror/thriller narrative filled with many mysteries of its own. Initially, The Shining portrays itself as an average “The house is haunted but no one believes me” story. However, as the plot progresses we learn that there is much more that goes into the big picture. At its core, the narrative is about isolation, psychological problems, alcoholism, and the suspense of an impending doom. Jack

The Overlook Hotel is shown through extreme long shots throughout the movie. This is done to establish the setting surrounding the hotel and make the viewer feel a sense of isolation. This adds to the overall tone of the movie, as when things start to take a turn, the viewer feels a sense of helplessness. At the beginning of the film, the hotel is introduced after a montage is shown of a car driving down a long, windy road, surrounded by miles of trees, bodies of water, and mountains. While these

Jack Torrance is very unsettled, unhappy and lies in his desire. He has a potential to be a good father, a good husband and a good writer.

Carry Amelia Nation was born on November 25, 1846 in Garrard County, Kentucky. Her parents, Mary Campbell Moore and George Moore, soon relocated their family to Cass County, Missouri and when the Civil War broke out, moved their family to Kansas City. Carry began helping the injured in nearby Independence, Missouri where she soon met a young Civil War doctor by the name of Charles Gloyd. The two got married on November 21, 1867.

“Miracles are like meatballs, because nobody can exactly agree on what they are made of, where they come from, or how often they should appear. Some people say that a sunrise is a miracle, because it is somewhat mysterious and often very beautiful, but other people say it is simply a fact of life, because it happens every day and far too early in the morning. Some people say that a telephone is a miracle, because it sometimes seems wondrous that you can talk with somebody who is thousands of miles

to social progress. Masons are organized into structures called base lodges, which in turn can be grouped into a higher-level organization usually called "Grand Lodge", "Great Eastern" or "Grand Priory". Freemasonry explains itself as a superb structure of morality, covert in allegory and demonstrated by symbols. The symbolism is primarily, but not entirely, strained from the manual tools of stonemasons - the square and

Veronica had clawed her way out of the dark and despair of a math midterm- she deserved a few minutes of after-school peace with her dog and the pacific ocean, she thought. It’s unfathomable that some people don’t have access to the beach. Her mind conjured up one of her worst conscious nightmares- her, older, married with brats, living in some midwestern state where beaches were things of myth and corn was all but currency. She shook her head, her daydream interrupted by her cell ringing.

Veronica’s hand was pressed between Celeste’s, and Veronica felt like she was having an honest to god, out of body experience. She was just somewhere else, high above the corner booth of Ruggierio’s, completely out of earshot of the entire conversation she was having with her not-to-be mother-in-law. “You want my engagement ring back,” Veronica stuttered the words out, trying to make sense of the whole scene, trying to call herself back from the faraway void she wished she was in. “You’re
