You could draw me to fire... you could draw me to any death... but if you would return a favorable answer to my offer of myself in marriage, you could draw me to any good."

A Critical Analysis Of Tension's In Memorial A. H. H.
Number of words: 1630 | Number of pages: 6.... the existence of God. We

to a greater race of humans yet to come.

Connecticut Yank
Number of words: 1151 | Number of pages: 5.... his plans are destined to fail because he is incapable of understanding values that are different from his own; he is the ultimate know-it all, and sets out to remake the world in his own image.
