Bermuda Triangle Ancient Greeks
1,159 words
The Bermuda Triangle is shrouded, in a thick cloud
of mystery, in a thick cloud of controversy, and a
thick cloud of argument. Not even the location of
the Triangle is agreed on. The most common
description of its location is the triangle formed
by linking Bermuda, Miami, and Puerto Rico. But
there is also two other descriptions: The Devil's

Ufo Sightings Unidentified Flying

Does life outside earth exist? Are UFO's really
from outer space? Many people in the world today
do believe in UFO's. "About half of the adult
population do believe that UFOs are out there in
space" (Ritchie 22). There are basically two sides
to the matter. The first is that UFOs are hoaxes
and don't exist at all, and the other is that they
do exist and come from somewhere in outer space.
Government cover-ups have been used to keep the
secrets of UFOs under wraps throughout history,

Charles Dickens Attempts Dickens Attempts Scrooge
636 words
The true description of Scrooge first appears
about quarter way through the book, before then
there are only a few minor references to his
character. The description begins metaphorically
as it features the words A tight-fisted hand at
the grindstone. Its metaphorical because it is

tight as the hand to the grindstone. Then soon
after this seven adjectives follow, Squeezing,
Wrenching, Grasping, Scraping, Clutching,
Covetous, Old sinner. They are use...

The Novel: The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men
