The entire day, I have been very excited to be able to have Monsieur Rochester present me to his wonderful friends. Now that I am dressed though I do not know what to think; I am nervous that I might make a mistake and then both Mademoiselle Jane and Monsieur Rochester will be very displeased with me. Today my dress is beautiful though; Sophie picked it out for me. My pink frock and my curls look perfect, I could not ask for anything else. My pink sash, however, is uncomfortably tight and I wish

In “The Best Government on God’s Footstool” chapter the question remains unlock, what or why they were fighting for?

Contrary to the majority view that the earth is a globe and “geoid” (or like an orange) in shape, I am persuaded that the earth is flat. I have carefully considered what I know is clearly a minority position, and here is my case for a flat earth. My source of authority is the Bible. (For evangelicals, could—or should—there be any other? Of course, we are not talking here about liberal evangelicals. They stand for nothing and fall

fashionable and stylish this activity truly is. Unfortunately, this pursuit is as archaic as it seems. Searching for any video of a classical piece on guitar will supply you with scores of men and women ornately dressed resting a foot on those tiny footstools. There is little reward for the teenage classical guitarist. While my fellow musicians can brag of completing the entirety of the solo for Free Bird or maybe possessing the skill of “shredding like a madman”, any attempts on boasting of my ability

Mark Twain believes that dogs are superior to man because out of all animals, man is the only one that is cruel enough to inflict pain on others just for the pleasure of doing it. Twain’s short story “A Dog’s Tale”, written in 1903, displays these beliefs and is done so from a dog’s point of view.
