Recently, I was reading an article about military bases overseas and proposed cuts in funds that keep them secure. With the coun

try experiencing so many financial difficulties and so much money being spent on the war in Iraq, proposals are being made to cut funding that secures American overseas military bases not in the Middle East. This concerns many people, who fear that diverting funds used to secure those bases might result in another Pearl Harbor. Though these decisions are not final, military personnel and their families are asking the government to reconsider any cuts it is planning on making. What is the historical allusion?

I'm not good with Grammar. But, I like writing fictional stories. Here you can use one of mine if you want. This is the idea: Lien, Jeffrey, Alejandro and Lola go to a field trip to a science museum. Once inside Lola the most troublesome of them 4 accidentally overhears a conversation where 2 scientist are plotting to build an underwater city because Armageddon was near. After hearing this she tells her 3 friends Lien, Alejandro and Jeffrey.  However they don't believe her. So what Lola does is that she alone follows the scientist around and she uncovers hidden secrets as of where the underwater city might be etc. And in one of those times she was spying she realizes the scientist are working on a force field to seal the city. She finds out where the city is hidden.
 Later on Lola finds submarines in the museum and decides to go herself to the city and save herself since her friends aren't willing to listen to her. She is not captured, get's away with it and when Armageddon comes she is inside the city protected by the underwater force field. And among her are other thousands of survivors. Details can be added to it. Don't you think?

Based on this biography, what parts of Poe's life do you think
juin [17]

Answer:

The lack of money, the rumors, the failure of investments and his wife's illness and early death may have influenced Poe's stories and poems.

Explanation:

Poe's stories and poems usually have dark and sad tones, with a melancholy atmosphere and a tone of horror. This may have been influenced by the dark moments in Poe's life. He spent a lot of time having to deal with the lack of money and the difficulty of maintaining himself economically, when this situation changed, he had to live with failures in his investments. In addition, his wife had a disease that progressively worsened, there were many rumors about him in the city and his wife died early, leaving Poe very sad and lonely.
