and miles of nature’s beautiful beaches. These alluring shores with sublime weather become prime real estate for those who can afford it. When someone buys the property they expect to own the land that comes with it: so a person that buys a beach house expects that their backyard, the beach, is their private land. However, most people feel that all beaches should be public for tourism and personal satisfaction. That one cannot own “nature.” Despite the many heated debates over this exigence and the

Dogs are used as protection not only in branches of the military, but also in cities that have large centralized systems, such as subways and other major public means of transportation, and have recently been a new addition to the white house security team.

respectively, so very clearly a polytheistic setting there, as these gods appoint Hammurabi as the promoter of the people’s welfare.

criminal’s wrong doings and work to cure the idleness. The early administrators of the prison system believed that, given enough time in quiet reflection, the weight of a person’s conscience will cause them to rehabilitate.

creates an instantaneous impression of sympathy through the use of pathetic fallacy. The rain in the opening paragraph is described as “so penetrating that outdoor exercise was now out of the question”. This is extremely symbolic as Jane is confined to the house because of the weather conditions. Even though it is later revealed in the next paragraph that Jane was “glad of it” what Bronte does here is confine Jane to one place because of factors outside of her control.
