Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,

Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England,
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,

Cruel whips no more shall crack.
Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel .....

Time Machine Book Report
Words: 1164 - Pages: 5.... and Mary Shelly. Wells coined the phrase "the shape of things to come" and warned people of the dangers of the future in the literature that he wrote. Wells' prophecy of "the shape of things to come" is accomplished in The Time Machine. His ideas about the future are surely detrimental. As the Time Traveler is standing on the shore of a dead sea, he thinks to himself, I cannot convey the sense of abominable desolation that hung over the world. The red eastern sky, the northward blackness, the salt Dead Sea, the stony beach crawling with these foul, slow-stirring monsters, the uniform poisonous-looking green of the lichenous plants, the thin .....

Huck Finn Grows Up

What time would be better than this to write a book about the great American dream, a book about long held American ideals, now squashed by big business and white supremacy? Mark Twain did just that, when he wrote what is considered by many as the “Great American Epic”.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, “The great American epic,” may be one of the most interesting and complex books ever written in the history of our nation. This book cleverly disguises many of the American ideals in a child floating down the Mississippi River on a raft with a black slave. On the outside of the story, one can see an exci .....
