So, we decided to buy another dog and got Albert, a little Maltese-cross-Bichon Frise. I was very protective of Albert. As Oliver was so big, I was worried he might sit on

The first major symbol that contributes to the theme of isolation is the web. The structure of the web develops the theme. The lady forms the tapestry by weaving the sights that pass by the

Washington Irving’s “Rip Van Winkle” enjoys the reputation of being one of the first great American short stories written by a pioneer of American fiction, and of capturing a transtemporal portrait of American life.
