Firstly this essay will briefly look at force majeure clauses, before moving on to what the doctrine of frustration
The story of King Arthur has been told and retold many times, each version slightly different from the last. Studying different versions of the story can help a reader gather more insight into the story and decide which parts they believe are best. This can be found by looking at dynamics, emotional value, and relations. The best ending can be found by taking the dynamics of the dream sequence and pre-fight within Le Morte d'Arthur by Malory, the emotional value of the post-fight within the movie

Eliot’s character comes across, therefore, as far less ‘enormous’ and larger than life than Shakespeare portrays Cleopatra who seems very great, even in comparison with her barge, which she fills as if it were a throne - her majesty makes the barge seem tiny in comparison; Eliot’s character

In the distance, poking through storm clouds, are plunging slopes dense with virgin hemlock and fir…Intruding into this primeval scene are two decrepit dams” (Reisner, 382).

This whole scene violates the 1st amendment because the firemen are burning an old woman’s books, which takes away her right to express herself. The firemen also do not have a right to barge into her house and take books because the fourth amendment limits them from searching and seizing her home.

Hurricanes are notoriously capricious. Andrew was a compact system. A little larger system, or one making landfall just a few nautical miles further to the north, would have been catastrophic for heavily populated, highly commercialized and no less vulnerable areas to the north. That area includes downtown Miami, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne and Fort Lauderdale. Andrew also left the highly vulnerable New Orleans region relatively unscathed. Andrew moved nearly due westward when over land and crossed
