Suzan Taylor, 23 years old, was also a student at the University of Manitoba. In her testimony, she says that she was going to take her dog, Max, on a walk when she smelled something burning and noticed that there was smoke coming out of Nicholas’ apartment door. She continues and says that after notifying the police she had tried opening the door but was unable to do so.

When the police – along with the fire brigade – had reached the scene, the flames had already engulfed the door to Nicholas’ apartment.

Just then he sees Suzan walking towards two guys wearing black hoods and he decides to follow her. He messages Aarush Mehra and Mark Wilson that he saw Suzan and is following her at the moment.

The Great Fire of London was easily one of the worst fires mankind has ever seen causing large scale destruction and terror. Samuel Pepys described the fire as “A most malicious bloody flame, as one entire arch of fire of above a mile long… the churches, houses and all on fire and flaming at once, and a horrid noise the flames made.” (Britain Express 1).

  • The Importance of Literary Elements in Barn Burning

    1470 Words  | 3 Pages

    Understanding literary elements such as patterns, reader/writer relationships, and character choice are critical in appreciating William Faulkner's Barn Burning. Some literary elements are small and almost inconsequential while others are large and all-encompassing: the mother's broken clock, a small and seemingly insignificant object, is used so carefully, extracting the maximum effect; the subtle, but more frequent use of dialectal words which contain darker, secondary meanings; the way blood is used throughout the story in many different ways, including several direct references in the familial sense; how Faulkner chooses to write about poor, common people (in fact to the extreme) and how this relates to the opinions of Wordsworth and Aristotle; and finally, the relationship between the reader and writer, Faulkner's choice of narrator and point of view, and how this is works successfully.

  • The Great Fire of London

    Though they were not wanted, “Fires were not uncommon in seventeenth-century London” (Cowie, 59). Fires weren’t the only things that London residents worried about though. In 1665 a tragedy known as the Black Plague had occurred and killed many people in the city and though the plague was gone “People continued to fear another outbreak of plague for the rest of the seventeenth century” (Cowie, 56-57). The Great Fire of London was a tragedy that destroyed a whole city and scared all the people who inhabited it. Just as the city was recovering from the Great Plague, the inhabitants had to flee the city once again- this time not as a result of a disease, but the result of a human accident (“The Great Fire of London of 1666”, 1).
