The rough Winter most likely was the cause to 70 deaths. Based on the “Background Essay”, “Then, in the awful winter of 1609-1610, another two-thirds of the settlers died.” Harsh winters were bound to happen. There was nothing anybody could do about it or prevent it. The colonists could have prepared for it, but because they did not have the current technology, they could have not possibly predicted that a rough winter was coming their way. According to “Document D”, in 1607 August through October “Summer sickness kills half the colonists” The summer of 1607 was so severe that it killed 50 people.

The Hero’s Journey Of Travis Bickle the Taxi Driver A retrospective As the audience meets Travis Bickle, the stage is set for a dark journey for the ”hero” of the film.

Although Travis never talks about how the war affected him, or why he was discharged, it is obvious that he is haunted by memories from his time overseas. Travis is single and alone, living in a shabby one room apartment, somewhere in or near Manhattan.
Carmen Dent Mrs. Roberts English Book: Beastly By: Alex Flinn 1. Discuss how the main character is like or unlike a person you know? (10 points) Kyle, the main character in the book Beastly, is rude and careless. He only cares for his self, and if someone looks ugly or nerdy to him he will be extremely disrespectful to them.

Robin Williams had a lot going on in his life, and it seemed like things could never go right for Williams. He had heart surgery in 2009; he had mountains of bills to pay for the surgery and also the divorce settlements, and the cancellation of his CBS sitcom, “The Crazy Ones.” The cancellation of the show really
The people he has convinced of reasonable doubt are “goddam geniuses” and “smart bastards” who have been “bulldozed by bunch’a what d’ya call ‘em – intellectuals.” The inference here is not necessarily that the 10th Juror is stupid (though the 9th Juror does say of the 10th that “It suddenly occurs to me that you must be an ignorant man”) and the 8th Juror smart, but that education can create a class division and that those without an education can become suspicious of those that do because intellectualism can be used to manipulate people.
