Number of words: 767 - Number of pages: 3.... a polygon because of the large number of small sides that the polygon contains. As the number of the sides increases, a polygon approximates to circle; and, when the number is very great indeed, say for example three or four hundred, it is the most difficult for any delicate touch to feel a polygonal angle."

Number of words: 401 - Number of pages: 2.... caught by
the wind and look like the beast and the way the wind picks up after Simon

upset, he can start a dance and all will be fine.
The whole message of the sto .....

The Red Badge Of Courage
Number of words: 1120 - Number of pages: 5.... a men is by experiencing new, unpredictable environments and adjusting to unfamiliar smells, sounds, and emotions.
