Massacre at Mystic

We awoke to the attack of the Puritans on the night of May 26th, the year 1637. The men came storming in from both sides of our fort and attacked all of its inhabitants men, women and children the same. Our Pequot tribe was nearly annihilated that night and the Puritans felt no remorse. Then when the Puritans, led by Major John Mason and Captain John Underhill, entered our compound, as we now know, history was changed forever.

42 * ERRORS VS. RHETORICAL DEVICES by Don L. F. Nilsen 42 * Ambiguity is bad. Puns, double entendre and paranomasia are good. 42 42 * DOUBLE ENTENDRE The playwright Oscar Hammerstein, who used to work in a cigar factory, said that a play is like a cigar. ?If it?s good, everybody wants a box, and if it?s bad, no amount of puffing will make it draw.? (Nilsen 99) 42 42 * Cliches and trite expressions are bad. But idiomatic expressions are good. 42 42 * IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS ?Even though you are not an acrobat or an infant, you can `put your foot in your mouth.? If someone `has two left feet,? we do not order special shoes. When someone `kicks the bucket? we are more likely to head for the funeral home than for the mop closet.? (Lindfors 55) 42 42 *

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? Long before human beings ever existed, the most dominant creatures ever to live in the Earth were the dinosaurs. From polar areas to arid deserts, they literally lived everywhere, with a vast variety of species and adaptations. One of the most attractive features about the dinosaurs, however, was the size of them. Some dinosaurs could be longer than 20 meters in length, such as brachiosaurs and sauropods. So what allowed them to grow up to hundreds of tons and even maintain it without starving? Why would they ever grow so large? Here, this report will discuss the answers of these questions. CURRENT RESEARCH Current research tells me what kind of traits made it possible for dinosaurs to grow so enormous, and also theories on why they had to grow so big.
