During World War II, Germany invaded and took over France in a matter of weeks. The Nazis with their advance weapons, and strategies such as Blitzkrieg, seemed invincible for much of the war. The Nightingale, written by Kristin Hannah, focuses on the many aspects of life during Nazi rule in France. Hannah shows throughout the novel what it was like for the French citizens when almost everything they had, tangibly and mentally, was taken away because of war. While war can be seen as a way to gain
A common reoccurrence in romantic comedies is the factor of love being whimsically portrayed as something divine, predestined and magical. The omniscient state of love in the typical romantic comedy positions love as the driving force with godlike authority over the film and the love between the two central characters is within a concept of a divine plan, fitting in with the romantic concepts in which the romance genre is founded. Punch-Drunk Love (2002) uses absurdism to flip all of this on its

Underage drinking has been a problem for many years, yet it is still not under control. An ongoing debate in the United States is whether the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen like in many other countries or if it should stay at twenty-one. This controversy is specifically relevant to college students, as drinking at an American University has become a significant component of a student’s college experience, despite the fact that most college students cannot legally drink. Binge drinking
BACKGROUND The external environment Beer consumption around the world continues to fall. As GDP in poorer countries rise, people use their rising income to buy more beer. (The Economist Data Team, 2017). But when GDP per person reaches around $27,000 in a country, people spend money on more expensive drinks or become more aware of health risks and limit personal consumption.

Luckily, there is a Quran verse that I found related to this compound, which is, Allah said, “And from the fruit of the date palm and the vine, ye get out wholesome drink and food: behold, in this also is a sign for those who are wise.

Many college students attend parties where alcohol is present. They should be allowed to consume the alcoholic beverages with their classmates without having to worry about getting in trouble. Eighteen year olds are adults and should be able to make their own decision on whether or not they want to drink. The legal age
People have known that alcohol, specifically beer and wine, has been around in history for a long time; however, we have learned through archeology that it is much more ancient than we originally thought. Initially beer and wine was thought to be considered just a drink that was no different than food. Beer was popular in Germany just as much as sausage was; and wine was a staple in France just as much as cheese was. German beer makers claimed that beer was originally something that was created

Student Union. In “A Nice Cold Beer Can Help after Class,” Dan Sernovitz argues for a campus bar. While Kirsten Frese, in “All a Bar Will Bring is More Problems,” disagrees. Sernovitz relies primarily on pathos and cause and consequence, along with a couple analogies. Frese also primarily uses pathos and cause/consequence, and she uses some ethos as well. Sernovitz uses pathos to create a shared identify with his fellow college students and to evoke a desire for beer. For example, he begins by saying:

assigned were beer, wine, and spirits, where each chapter had information that grabbed the attention of the reader. In areas that grabbed my attention was the history of how beer was discovered, where wine was discovered to have purifying properties, and where spirits were associated with slavery. There were also parts of the three chapters where I thought the author could have added more even information.
