Rest is not only a physical regenerator; it’s a mental organizer, a spiritual booster, and an emotional stabilizer. Most of our adversities in life are not our circumstances but our lack of prioritizing the need to take a moment, allocated time or getting away to deflect and reflect from day to day.
Mackenzie Musser Miss Given English 11 Honors February 5, 2018 Response #3 Through The Poisonwood Bible, storytelling is presented in many different ways.

The Machine that Won the War and The Story of an Hour There are many similarities and differences in these two concise stories that were written in the 18 and 19 hundreds. From the foreshadowing to the suspense to the conflicts and themes, these stories will make you think in a different way and hopefully help you learn some important lessons for your life.

The Antichrist will head up a league of nations built on the ashes of the ancient Roman empire. The old Roman Empire was vast and included territory in Europe, Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia.
