government we know today, it was also the only essay that was featured in my perspectives that was for the ban, but what one may found interesting is that all three of the essays included facts about smoking, also two of the three essays talked about slippery slopes, another thing that seemed strange was that the two essays that agreed that the soda ban was wrong, took two very different approaches when arguing their claim, Ban the Ban, mostly talked about how the ban will affect everyone near and far, about

There are many elements of fiction. All of them together are a recipe for the perfect story. There are five elements all together. They are conflict, setting, character, plot and theme. “The Grim Grotto” displays all of these elements with an exceptionally well written storyline. Conflict is a very significant factor of fiction.

Macbeth: A Slope into Madness History has proven that weak character and ill intentions can cause some of the world’s greatest figures to slowly fall into a slippery slope of evil, which finally climaxes with their eventual ruin. Whether the spark that started the fire came from within the leader, or some outside force easing its way into the characters mind through manipulation, the result is never a happy ending. Nothing can be closer to the truth for Macbeth in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy
