are no cures for these killers.
In 1976 Ebola climbed out of its primordial hiding place in
the jungles of Africa, and in two outbreaks in Zaire and Sudan wiped

Red Badge Of Courage

It looked to be a wrong place for a battlefield" (69). Green is an image of the natural world and of the regiment's fresh youth, while red, in the previous quote, is clearly an image of battle.

Number of words: 869 | Number of pages: 4.... consumption. Chief Seathl spoke of issues that were argued for many years, and which still have relevance in our lives today. Through remarkably poetic penmanship, Chief Seathl’s letter to the president also showed the great respect that he and other Native Americans had for this land, but that the white settlers didn’t.

Hamlet 13
Number of words: 586 | Number of pages: 3.... He is no longer the self-serving, cold, conniving man that he really is.

Claudius also does his best to keep Hamlet from trying to take the kingdom and destroy what Claudius has worked for so long to gain.

they mean.
Also, as its grand contrapuntal themes of fidelity and betrayal, of death and
