After this shock, Mrs. Mallard died (DiYanni, 2007). The point I believe the author was trying to put across is that women can be so troubled or mistreated that unfortunate events to their spouse or significant other can bring about relief.

These examples show how relevant most authors are in their writing and how they reflect communities that they come from or communities that they know about.
Teddy Tsai December 12, 2014 Mike Peixoto HC 231H Creating Communities in the Pre-Modern World Leaving a Legacy: The Obituary of the Temple of Reims A theme of the present is to reflect on the past and look to the future. However as we travel back in time past the modern era, the amount of reliable information is hard-pressed to be found. For this reason, documents such as necrologies become undeniably valuable.

Matt Sotl 3/28/08 Quarterly Reading Essay Period 1-2 Mr.S Comparison of 2 tragedies’ In books and novels, there is a predominate theme that plays a large toll on the books purpose. When two books are similar like these two books, it is hard to figure out why it is that he books are alike but it takes so long to figure out the plot differences. That is why you actually have to analyze the books afterwards. The author of The Things They Carried has very good ways of showing us what the true reason of the books should be.

This quote means that to accomplish something in life, one has to face many challenges to show how he or she lives their life. This critical lens is true because in one’s life there are challenges that will change one’s life and how he or she will live it by accomplishing goals.

This topic for some reason seemed to be the most interesting and I found myself wanting to know more about it, like what was the significant of this battle, who was involved, were did it take place, and who was the victor.

I also will look on the internet for information because I knew I can find some information that would be more relevant and to the point.
How is history created Midterm paper In order for history to be created by historians, a significant consequence must occur which is then recorded in one sense or another so that people in the future can know what came to past. However, much of the debate on viewing history, as the narrative approach of the historian, is whether their judgement distorts what history is, what historians act upon, and reflects upon the truth-seeking manner of the action.To be able to understand the birth of history, one must understand what the word history means.The word history can be defined in many senses. In one sense, history may mean a record of events, or even the events themselves. For example, when we think of the history of England, we tend to term kings and commoners the inventors of history, and possibly say that historians only record the history in which they create. In this sense, history is not the record but the thing being recorded.
