The Literary Works of Richard McRae


Welcome! I do not know how you are going to find this site. I have been writing ever since I can remember. My Mother taught me to read and write very young, and I have had a passion for both ever since. That doesn't necessarily mean anything when it comes to quality, though. (After all, Cher has been an actress for a long time....) I think that you can learn more through these writings (and my poems) than I could ever tell you about myself. It is hard to classify my writing. At times you could almost say that they would work great as children's stories, but I usually have more serious undertones than those in children's books. So I guess I write more for people who like the whimsicallity of children's books, but want a seriousness underneath. Kinda a juxtaposition of both halves of our lives. Most of these are short stories, usually meant to tell something. I like stories with morals. I wish you well, and hope that you do indeed enjoy these.

PAPERS AND ESSAYS

The Birth, Life, and Death of the Universe This is an essay I wrote about the general workings of the universe. It was written for students, so gives a lot of information without all the scientific mumbo-jumbo. It is big, so takes a while to load up, but it is VERY much worth the wait. You will see. FIXED!

Time Dilation and the Effects of Special Relativity on Space Travel This is a paper I wrote when I was 20. Don't let the name fool you, I tried to write it so that EVERYONE could understand and enjoy it. If you ignore all the math, I think you will find this an extremely worthwhile read. VERY informative and extremely interesting.

The Bible This is an essay that I did for a World Literature class. It will help you look at some areas of the Bible in a new light, make you think a little bit. It deals mostly with Genesis and Job.

The Deintigration of the Southern United States The sword of predjudice swings both ways...


I will be putting the rest on here when I have a little more time. Some of these are quite large, so please be patient. Thank you! 1
