Lewis Sage narrowly avoided my grip once before the incident. He was fighting the Confederates on the battlefield, and I had already collected a total of twenty-three souls. Just as a confederate soldier aimed his gun towards Lewis, a Union soldier dove in front of him, taking the bullet straight into his chest. This man was Albert Willman.

I travel the world, collecting the souls of those who have perished, passing them on to their next great adventure. Every once in awhile, there are people inches from death, yet somehow they survive. These are the people that are hard to look at. However, the anguished survivors are the most painful to overlook. Their heads are …show more content…
It also promised a reward to whomever reported of the assassin. Lewis didn’t care as much for the reward as he cared for the revenge. After reading a bit more information on who to contact, Lewis headed to the authorities to disclose the information of the murderer. On the way there, three words kept repeating in his mind: Not a word, not a word, not a word Would it be wrong to tell? The man had spared Lewis’s life, so why should Lewis not do the same for him?

He aimed for the authorities with his head held high, not worrying about the past or the future, but about the present. Again, Lewis did not know the name of the man, so he could only limn what the attacker looked like by his appearance. After he arrived at the authorities, they created an artistic rendering of what he had described. The man was tall, with dark brown hair and a mustache. He had pasty skin and dark eyes. When the forensic artist completed the sketch, the depiction looked exactly as Lewis had seen

This was a man who was only assigned to relay a warning to two men; he was not required to go above and beyond his duties and yet he did. Even with a gun pressed to his head, he still managed to stay calm, “I was not afraid.” (MSH. Paul Revere’s Dep)
James I of England was the first king in the stuart family. If we read those two quotes, we will see that neither of them tells good about James I of England.

So i think he won't be able to rule england properly, and the english people won't like him, and it might be another roller coaster, england will have a bad time with his rule.

Roger Chillingworth plays an important role to the plot of the novel The Scarlet Letter. He is more of a symbol rather than a main character throughout the entire novel. This is due to the fact that he represents how all Puritans should act, at least on the surface. While he is becoming part of a community, he is also planting revenge on Hester and her lover. At first his plot was to reveal Hester’s lover, but that plot turned him into something more vile and evil than before.

Pride is one of the few things in the world that isn’t just good or evil. Pride is only evil if you let it become more important than everything else. This is a quote by C.Lewis “ pride is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, contentment, or even common sense,’”
Up until now, historians haven’t been able to deduce Meriwether Lewis’ death.
