    The buccina was a hybrid of the horn and trumpet and was anciently made out of a shell. However, it was later crafted by horn and later wood or metal to imitate the shell. The instrument was curved, making it louder and easier to play for the buccinator. Its purpose was predominantly to announce day and night. Additionally, the instrument was also blown at funerals and both before and after sitting down for meals like a dinner call.…

Opal turned around and saw a dirty filthy big and really ugly dog messing up the store. The man said that if no one claimed the dog then he would have to call the shelter to come pick it up.

    Book Report and Review for Flowers in the Attic Essay Example

    The setting of this book changes as the story goes on. First, it takes place in a small yet plentiful house in Pennsylvania. But after the death of his father during a car accident, the mother and four kids, move down to Virginia to the kid's grandparent's house. However the main setting of this book should be the attic and the small, cramped room the kids stay in. The attic was full of dust, mice, spider webs, ancient furniture and dirty mattresses. There was only one window, which barely showed any sunlight because it was always closed. The small room where they slept was stuffy, hot, but chilly at the same time because it was dim, without any natural coming in from anywhere, because as again, the evil grandmother keeps the shadow down so no one would notice the kids. The places in the book seems real to me because it was the 1930's and 50's, which still had mansions around that people live in with dirty attics.…

    Devil in a blue dress

    The novel’s setting is, to me, quite central to the themes it explores. Easy’s investigation becomes not only a search for Daphne, but also an investigation of the structure of society/the city and it’s built in violence. In one way, the novel is a from-below depiction of black Los Angeles in the forties; its insides and contrasting outsides. Easy’s journey also starts in his own community and…

    Response To 'The Last Dog' By Katherine Patterson

    The author to “The Last Dog” is a woman named Katherine Patterson. The theme to this story is that not everything is dangerous or scary. You need to push your boundaries a little past where you’re comfortable to experience more. I liked this story a lot because it was very interesting putting yourself in Broc’s place. Having to leave their boring protected dome to go out into the real world that everyone said was really dangerous. That takes a lot of courage if you ask me!…

    - Setting: The story takes place in southern California at the Great Riveroak Insurance Company.

    Flowers for Algernon

    4. The setting of the story is New York City, while one chapter takes place in Chicago. There is no text that gives an exact date that the novel takes place but can guess it is around the 1960s, when Keyes wrote the book. The setting does not have a large impact on the book except when Charlie takes Algernon and is forced to hide in the crowded, urban city of New York.…
