The Haunting House There is a land, far away from here. It is rocky and harsh and few people live there. There is very little transportation, few radio or television shows and certainly no newspaper circulation. There are towns nearby, but they are small and undeveloped. Actually, there is nothing to develop them into. The house, we're talking about, sits high atop a rocky hill alone, as a ruin. There is much history to this place, but that history is centuries old. Recently has nothing happened here. This huge manor has been vacant for nearly a hundred years. It was cleared of human-kind by a spirit so malevolent no one will step foot inside. It is mostly made of wood. There are no windows left, merely shells. The master of the house held it in such fear, that the ghosts are still visible, as reported by some who have been there. A master loved beer and whiskey. But he was incredibly mean and evil. ...

Chapter1: An unknown woman was found lying in the street and brought into the workhouse. She delivered a sickly child who had trouble breathing. The woman, without a word of who she was, died and left her new born boy, Oliver, to the drunken nurse that stood by. Chapter2: The State gave Oliver to Mrs. Mann who housed a number of orphaned children. Mrs. Mann took a large portion of the money given to her by the authorities for each child's food so Oliver grew up small and malnourished. On his ninth birthday, the town beadle, Mr. Bumble, came to collect Oliver and take him to the board for an interview. They told him he was to live with other wards of the state to become educated and learn a trade. Oliver did not mind this, but soon after he arrived, the state decided to implement a plan that would save money by feeding the people very little. After a time on this diet, the boys at the table chose Oliver to go ask the head cook for more ...
Edinburgh Castle is an ancient stronghold which dominates the sky-line of the city of Edinburgh from its position atop Castle Rock. It is Scotland's second most visited tourist attraction. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC. As it stands today though, few of the castle's structures pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, with the notable exception of St Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, which dates from the early 12th century.As with all castles, Edinburgh's fortress has been a centre of military activity. As an ancient fortress Edinburgh Castle is one of the few that still has a military garrison, albeit for largely ceremonial and administrative purposes. The New Barrack Block is now home to the official headquarters of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and 52 Infantry Brigade, as well as home to the regimental museum of the Royal Scots and Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. ...
Sissejuhatus Stephen King on tänapäeva üks populaarsemaid ja paremini müüvaid autoreid kogu maailmas. King kombineerib oma lugudes psühholoogilise trilleri elemente, ulmekirjandust, paranormaalseid nähtusi ja detektiivi teemasid. Olles sõltuvuses loetletud elementidest, segab ta sisse eredaid igapäevaseid seiku. Stephen King, kes on peamiselt tuntud oma romaanide järgi, laiendab oma silmapiiri kirjutades filmidele käsikirju, mitteilukirjandust, autobiograafiaid, lasteraamatuid ja lühijutte. Kuigi King on tuntud oma romaanide "The Stand" ja "IT" järgi, on tema parimateks töödeks just lühijutud nagu "The Body" ja "Quitters Inc." Kingi teosed on nii võimsad, sest ta kasutab oma kogemusi ja vaatlusi igapäevaelust. Kingi elulugu Stephen Edwin King sündis 21. septembril 1947ndal aastal Portlandis, Mainis. Stephen, ta ema Nellie ning adopteeritud vend David pi...
The origins of American literature The first Americans were explorers and settlers, adventurers and idealists who crossed the ocean in search of new opportunities or to escape the poverty and intolerance. Their writings were matter-of-fact accounts of life in America, which explained colonisation to Englishmen back in the homeland. An example of this form of writing is John Smith's A True Relation of Virginia, which is widely recognized to be the first example of Am lit. The early years of colonisation produced a mass of utilitarian writings including biographies, accounts of voyages, diaries, sermons, pamphlets. Much of the material addressed the problems of Church and State. There were few examples of fiction, poetry or drama. Anne Bradstreet of Massachusetts published some lyrical poems of high literary quality (1650) and Edward Taylor, who was born in England but lived in Boston, wrote some poetry in the style of John ...
