What qualities come to mind when you think of a
king, or any ruler for that matter? A ruler needs
to be very trustworthy, honest, hard working,
fair, just, forgiving and intelligent. Especially
where there is a king, as in the play Hamlet, by
William Shakespeare, because a king is in charge
of the whole community. He has to keep in mind all
of his subjects as he makes tons of decisions
every day. A king is a symbol of his land. There
cannot be a strong country without a strong king.

Every successful automobile is a reflection of its
time, but very few cars are as representative of
their era in automotive history as Chevrolet s
Chevy II and Nova. That may seem like a pretty
grand statement to put on the shoulders of such a
simple economy car, but after all the Chevy II
changed many times over during it s 17 year run.

Deep within the outskirts of the inner-city, there
lie many places with no warmth or refuge, but
rather of dank cardboard boxes, self-made
newspaper beds, and improvised living quarters far
less than sanitary. These bleak settings provide
the shelter inhabited by the homeless, and are
surely to be found scattered throughout city
alleys, under passages, or condemned housing and
buildings. There are no real facets to this kind
of living that can truly explain why such a

The Hopeful Encounter Hopeful Encounter The sun
was setting. Far to the east, threatening black
clouds arose from the fumes of pollution from the
several smokestacks towering over the city. The
streets were pocks marked and dented with the
recent shower of acid rain. Hot boiling steam from
the sewers made the temperature of day much hotter
than it really was. Just outside the borders of
the city is a lake covered with muck and crude oil
spills. Death and despair floated aimlessly on the

gap in the reading was, why did Mabel try to kill
herself by walking into the pond? The story begins
with Mabel and her three brothers Fred Henry, Joe,
and Malcom being forced to move from their home to
lead new lives in separate directions. All three
brothers had set destinations and were excited to
