Number of words: 1518 - Number of pages: 6.... makes a (Holy circle) with the Host to keep vampires out
and to keep Mina safe in the (Holy circle). Another time when the Host is used

going to leave Mina alone in the house. Van Helsing touches a Host to Mina's

(Miller, P124) Judge Danforth backs up his cause with a biblical reference demonstrating his utter belief in his cause, "Mr. Hale, as God have not empowered me like Joshua to .....

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
Number of words: 833 - Number of pages: 4.... that he wears a pair of shorts decorated with "big white whales" which recall Melville's Moby Dick.
Indeed, so that the reader does not miss the allusion, Kesey has McMurphy relate that the person who gave him the shorts was "'a co-ed at Oregon State, Chief, a Literary major'" who made him the present "'because she said I was a symbol'" (69). Melville is a by no means unambiguous writer. Indeed, in Moby Dick, the white whale may be seen as a symbol of impenetrability which forms the book's focus over its "hero" Captain Ahab.
Kesey, however, appears to associate Moby Dick with male aggress .....

Now, with the use of satellite imagery of much of the world's surface, doubts have been laid to rest about whether such alarming statistics are of real concern. The answer is beyond a reasonable doubt that at the current rate of destruction, tropical forests for example, will be reduced to 10 percent of their original cover in the next 50 years.

Number of words: 2108 - Number of pages: 8.... and most importantly, the rising class and racial struggles in
America that Zinn correctly credits as being the root of many of the
problems that we as a nation have today. It is refreshing to see a book
that spends space based proportionately around the people that lived this
history. When Columbus arrived on the Island of Haiti, there were 39 men on

population, it is only fair that the natives get more than the two or three
sentences th .....
