Sicilian Mafia Organized Crime
1,755 wordsOrganized crime has always been occupied with a negative label. Perhaps this is due to the constantly changing environment in America as well as the social state of its homeland, Europe.

Rose For Emily Miss Emily
961 wordsAuthors traditionally use symbolism [as a way] to represent the sometimes-intangible qualities of the characters, places, and events in their works.
