Father Brown and Brother Cadfael were two monks with very different crime solving techniques. Father Brown is a short and plump little monk who listening skills for surpass those of the wise old owl. He claims it is the result of listening to people confess their sins every day.

The two of us were reminiscing about the time I was a little girl, learning to write the letters of the alphabet. We remembered that, under his guidance, I'd learned to write all of the letters very quickly except for the letter 'R'. "Until one day," I said to my father, "I realized that to make an 'R' all I had to
gigantic crystal clear lakes, wildlife sites that could easily be posted in any National Geographic magazine, and trout that have enough meat on their bones to suvive in the deepest of any ocean. One little problem I always have had was that my father was a better and more experienced fisherman than I was resulting in that he would always catch the bigger and more beautiful fish and almost certainly come home with twice as many fish as I had caught.

her beautiful face. It was the only thing I looked forward too every day. Her Iris faded from light brown to dark brown. I fell in love with her face. I had inhaled my addiction every moment that I had the chance to. My morning basically consisted of eating at Mrs.Brodkin restaurant. She had amazing food much better than Brachers. Sophie would eat there too and I would just stare at her long brown hair. Occasionally she would look back at me and smile. When she turned around to smile at me, her star

James Joyce was an Irish born author whose descriptions of the mundane life in his hometown of Dublin led to a collection of short stories that include some of the most widely read pieces of British literature. This collection known as the “Dubliners” contains 15 short stories that each centers around a different group of characters and reveals a new theme about life in the city. In Joyce's "Araby", part of the “Dubliners” collection, a young and nameless narrator becomes enamored with his friend

The first work of art I chose was by Willie Birch, American born 1942, and the title of the work is called Sunday’s Child. Based on my analysis, the figure seems to be made of stone of some type, but not something too strong and heavy because there are no way the structure’s two legs will be able to hold the rest of the body standing up. Thus, the figure can stand alone without any other support. Specific material types in this case is difficult to tell without physically touching and feeling the
rectangular borders around the artwork. Each border is of different size, color, and texture. As the painting is viewed from the outside a large rectangular border is shown.

On the inside, it is imprinted with rows of small gold plants, each one with a six petal flower, two leafs, and a shot stem. These rows of flowers are shown from a top side view which

Eight or nine rose brown apple trees randomly covered the plush green lawn. Down the small hill, muddy brown water trickled down a ditch with cattails surrounding it.
