A watershed event in modern European history, the French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte. During this period, French citizens razed and redesigned their country’s political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Like the American Revolution before it, the French Revolution was enormously influenced by Enlightenment ideals, particularly the concepts of popular sovereignty and inalienable rights. Although it failed to achieve all of its goals and at times degenerated into a chaotic bloodbath, the movement played a critical role in shaping modern nations by showing the world the power inherent in the will of the people. On August 4, the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, a statement of democratic principles grounded in the philosophical and political ideas of Enlightenment thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The document proclaimed the Assembly’s commitment to replace the ancient regime with a system based on equal opportunity, freedom of speech, popular sovereignty and representative government. Adopted on September 3, 1791, France’s first written constitution echoed the more moderate voices in the Assembly, establishing a constitutional monarchy in which the king enjoyed royal veto power and the ability to appoint ministers.

It is implicitly stated in the passage that —-.

Halloween began thousands of years ago with the Celts, a group of people inhabiting Ireland who celebrated a day called Samhain on October 31. By 43 A.D., much of Celtic territory had been conquered by the Romans who had two prominent holidays, “Feralia” (commemorated the passing of the dead) and the day of “Pomona”, (the goddess of fruit and trees). The latter’s symbol was actually an apple; which led to the tradition of bobbing for apples. Later on, Christianity became a huge opposing force of the holiday due to its pagan roots. In an attempt to move attention away from the holiday, new Christian holidays were placed on the same day such as “All Souls Day” and “All Saints Day”. All Saints Day was also known as All-hallows, which is where the word Halloween is derived from. While the holiday was not very prominent at first due to their rigid Protestant beliefs in America, the holiday was popular in the Southern colonies in the later part of the 19^th century through many Irish immigrants coming to America due to the potato famine. These settlers began to popularize the holiday by dressing up and going house to house to ask for money or food. This later became known as trick-or-treat, a phrase used even today.

Nonfiction is a genre in literature in which real events are depicted using story-telling techniques. Though the people and situations written about are true, the writer has creative license with how to tell the story. This makes the genre’s definition rather flexible. Many nonfiction novels are written in such categories as biographies, historical events, travel, science, religion, philosophy, and art. While some critics argue nonfiction has been around for centuries, Truman Capote claimed to have been the creator of this genre with his 1966 crime novel In Cold Blood, in which he integrates narrative journalistic reportage and creative writing techniques in telling of a crime. Whether or not Capote created the genre, he did give it a name. The most distinct difference between fiction and nonfiction is that unlike in nonfiction, there is no demand for fact checking in fiction. While it can be helpful, it is not necessary because a fictitious novel can make up anything and everything. In the latter, however, fact checking is imperative. The trick with writing a nonfiction novel is to balance the truth with creativity. If information in nonfiction can be disproven, especially if the information is about a person still living, the writer can be sued for libel, which is the public defamation of a person.

According to the passage, if the information in a nonfiction work is proved to be not true, —-.

The first nerve agents were invented by accident in the 1930s when researchers were trying to make cheaper and better alternatives to nicotine as insecticides. In their search, German scientists made two organic compounds containing phosphorus that were very effective at killing insect pests. However, they soon discovered that, even in minuscule amounts, the substances caused distressing symptoms in humans exposed to them. The two substances – too toxic to be used as commercial insecticides in agriculture – became known as tabun and sarin. The research was handed over to the Wehrmacht (the Nazi armed forces), which evaluated them as weapons and began constructing plants to manufacture them. The sarin plant was not operational by the time the Third Reich collapsed, but fell in to the hands of Soviet forces that overran Poland and Germany. Since then, other nerve agents have been developed, but much less is known about them although they are thought to work in broadly the same way.

There are few things more frustrating than knee pain, but unfortunately it is also one of the most common forms of chronic pain that we experience. This is simply because we need our knees to walk and their position means that they have to bear a lot of weight and often at unusual angles – if we run or play sports this is then increased as we create impacts on our knees that jolt the bones and force them to rub. Thus if anything is going to be a victim of wear and tear, it’s the knees, and then at the same time because of their role in walking this is going to be an area that is very hard to rest and proves very painful. That’s not to say that there aren’t things you can do to improve knee pain though, and if you are careful and clever, it’s possible to improve this joint pain in a number of ways – through diet, manipulation, lifestyle and more.

(I) Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven is the most famous of Poe’s poems, notable for its melodic and dramatic qualities. (II) The meter of the poem is mostly trochaic octameter, with eight stressed-unstressed two-syllable feet per lines. (III) Combined with an end rhyme scheme and the frequent use of internal rhyme, the refrain of “nothing more” and “nevermore” give the poem a musical lilt when read aloud. (IV) Poe also emphasizes the “O” sound in words such as “Lenore” and “nevermore” to underline the melancholy and lonely sound of the poem and to establish the overall atmosphere. (V) The Raven follows an unnamed narrator on a dreary night in December who sits reading “forgotten lore” by a dying fire as a way to forget the death of his beloved Lenore.
