The Things They Carried By Tim Obrien
1,000 wordsWhat did they carry? Was it just their standard issued gear? Was it relics from the world? Or was it something more sinister? Tim OBrien explores these ideas and many more in his heart stopping, breath taking, uniquely sad but true book, The Things They Carried.

Years Of Its Existence Rome Years Of Its Existence City
935 wordsRomulus Augustus was the son of the emperor Julius Nepos' Pannonian master general Orestes. He is perhaps better known by his diminutive nickname, Romulus Augustulus, which means, Little Augustus."
