In Sister Carrie, Dreiser uses very detailed descriptions of characters and their appearance. These are not empty descriptions, each description of the clothes is so convincing that it plays with the readers’ senses allowing them to visualize a dynamic cinematic picture (Stankovic 79). For example, Carrie’s total outfit consisted of a small trunk, a cheap imitation alligator-skin satchel, a small lunch in a paper box, and a yellow leather snap purse, containing her ticket, a scrap piece of paper

Terrorism is described as the unlawful use of violence and intimidation especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. In our own peaceful country of Canada, the "October Crisis" (also known as the "FLQ Crisis") that started on October 5th, 1970 is a perfect example of terrorism – an example that clearly shows that rebel groups that employ terror in civil wars, seldom win or gain what they hope to achieve (in this case, Québec's independence).
