John Irving was born March 2, 1942, in Exeter, New Hampshire, he was raised by his biological mother, and stepfather. Many events from Irving’s personal life have inspired books that he has written, such as, parent separations, feminism, sexual abuse, and sexual fantasies. Not only have plots been inspired by Irving’s personal life, but also the characters; which often follow Irving’s past experiences. Much like Charles Dickens, Irving’s themes focus on the darkness of the world and what the characters

Famously, gambling is prominent in Las Vegas and while it might look like a beautiful place and a perfect tourist destination, gambling has a negative effect on its people. In addition, gambling may seem like a fun activity but it can take a turn for the worse if not controlled. In my opinion gambling should not be legalized in New Hampshire for good of its
As if molded directly from the depths of nightmares, both fascinating and terrifying. Serial killers hide behind bland and normal existences. They are often able to escape being caught for years, decades and sometimes an eternity. These are America’s Serial Killers (America’s Serial Killers). “Even when some of them do get caught, we may not recognize what they are because they don’t [sic] match the distorted image we have of serial killers” (Brown). What is that distorted image? That killers live

known as "America's first serial killer". In addition to murder, Holmes enjoyed performing extreme forms of torture and mutilation on those he lured into traps. He is perhaps best known for what would later be dubbed the Murder Castle, a two-story hotel designed by Holmes with numerous trap doors, hidden passages, and torture chambers. Many have looked for what could have led to his later gruesome atrocities and have found few answers. However as is often the case with serial killers, the childhood
Chicago World’s Fair Hotel, but later be known to Americans as the infamous Murder Castle. He built the hotel for tourists coming in for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, which was across the street from the pharmacy in which he was suspected of murdering the owners after conning them of their money.12 This famous World’s Fair was in honor of the four hundredth year of which Christopher Columbus discovered America.

The Hotel of Horrors There was a man with a name of Herman Webster Mudgett, but most people know him by the name of H.H. Holmes(“H.H. Holmes”, 2017:Grey, 2016: Upton, 2014). I had first heard about this weird part of America’s history through one of my favorite television shows, Supernatural. He is known to be one of the most cruel serial killers in the United States, and no one really know the exact amount of people he has killed. But how did he kill so many people without getting caught sooner

a grim hotel. Despite the fact that the building contains rooms and equipment that are clearly designed for murder, Holmes attracts very little attention, since he fires workers frequently, and since Chicagoans can’t imagine that a serial killer could live in their city. From the workers he hires, he assembles a group of accomplices that includes Benjamin Pitezal and Charles Chappell. He forges the signature of Myrta’s wealthy great-uncle, Jonathan, and invites him to stay in his new hotel. Long afterwards

Holmes’ family was of modest means and throughout his childhood, his mother was notorious for exuding a cold and aloof demeanor, while his father was depicted as an alcoholic authoritarian (Brown et al., 2015, para. 7).

The views are stunning. Everything about the park interests me, because I am a nature boy. I am thankful that my parents raised me as a camper. There is video footage of me- just a few weeks old- camping with my parents up on Ossipee Lake, in New Hampshire. I grew up on Ossipee Lake, and that is where I learned to fall for nature. There is something about being in the forest, it is so still, and quiet. I cannot think of anything more Zen than taking a walk in the woods. As a dream trip, I yearn to

You wouldn’t know it walking through campus, but the Democratic presidential primary ended months ago. Bernie stickers still adorn backpacks, jackets, cars, and even the occasional forehead.

skit in a small theater in New York City. Thomas Dartmouth Rice, a white actor, performed the Jim Crow Minstrel Show. Rice was inspired by an old black man who sang and danced in Louisville, Kentucky (Clay, 1). The skit ended in the same chorus as the old black mans song which was “Wheel about and turn about and do jis so, Eb’ry time I wheel about I jump Jim Crow.” Rice’s song and dance got him from Louisville to Cincinnati to Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and then to New York City in 1832.
