Ulysses S. Grant once said “I do not think there was ever a more wicked war than that waged by the United States on Mexico. I thought so...only I had not moral courage enough to resign” (274). Amy S. Greenberg attempts to condense the Mexican–American War in her book A Wicked War. She does this through writing the war as a four-year narrative and through the lenses of five key men during the time: President James K. Polk, Congressman Abraham Lincoln, Colonel John J. Hardin, the influential Henry Clay, and negotiator Nicholas Trist. Through the eyes of these men, the reader is introduced to the underlying truths of the war and how a superficial claim made by President Polk eventually lead to the annexation of a third of Mexico, the subsequent

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a descriptive and emotion filled memoir of her childhood and how it affected her in her adulthood. The novel was released in 2005 and in 2017 the film version was released. The purpose of both the novel and film was not only to inform the reader about Jeannette’s story, but to also encourage people to achieve their dreams and to not let their past determine their future. In comparison to the movie, the book portrays the theme, characters and the mood of events better. Although both the novel and film allows the audience to get a sense of the central purpose, the book has a way of making the reader emotionally attached and want to continue reading.

Death; destruction; crawling, bloody men without jaws; and a child in the middle of it is just a glimpse of the grotesque short narrative “Chickamauga” by Ambrose Bierce. Chickamauga Creek is an area near Chattanooga, Tennessee and northwestern Georgia, plagued by war, suffering, and bloodshed from the Civil War (Bohannon). Bierce served in the Union Army during the American Civil War (Campbell). Many Americans then, and today, romanticize war with glory, heroism, and patriotism. Bierce defied literary status quo, creating graphic accounts of war, in an age of sentimentalism and melodrama (Morris). Lesser publicized were the perspectives, thoughts, and realities of the soldiers after serving and surviving in the civil

Namely, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are two classic works of children’s literature that for over a century have been read by children and adults alike. These two stories tell the tale of a young girl named Alice who finds herself in peculiar surroundings, where she encounters many different and unusual characters. Although Alice is at the centre of both stories, each tale is uniquely different in its purpose, characters and style.

Thirteen years of schooling is now under my belt. Thirteen years of learning my shapes in preschool to learning geometric sequences in high school. Thirteen years of science, English, and history. Thirteen years of quizzes, tests, group projects, and presentations. Thirteen years of learning - that wasn’t all fun - but still learning. Knowledge has been poured into my head, and spit back out into tests and exams, and after hours of studying, hopefully that final grade would be an A. So much has been put into my education, but in the end, what will be done with it? What will be done with the vasts amounts of knowledge that have been gathered over the years? From the equations in math and the elements in chemistry, what will matter the most?

However, despite this view is considered correct, God does not like war. In fact, our battle is not against people, but rather a fight against the devils. We can only pray so that the violence around the world cease to

One significant detail in “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There” is the mirror imagery through-out the entire book there is a wrong-way-round theme that appears to have been sparked by the attempts to correct his left-handedness and his personal feelings of insecurity because he wrote with his left hand.
