Greek Gods
.... up in the world around him than on understanding the world itself. In other words the Greeks were more interested in the workings of the mind than in the workings of the environment around them.
This was so because unlike us, the Greeks believed that they already had explanations for trivial questions such as, "Where the world came from?" "Who are we?" and "Who controls the world around us?" To them all these questions could simply be explained by looking at their own .....

Green Grass Running Water
.... a topic integral to her life, and one from which a great deal of passion should be generated. However, her uninspiring and spiritless lesson causes "certain individuals" to "fall asleep," sit "virtually in each other's laps," and enter into a private "conversation." Indirectly her lecture touches upon an important religious celebration of the Native American culture, the Sun Dance. She depicts the Sun Dance, which celebrates the creation of earth and all of its components, as a trivial and meaningle .....

Greenspan - The Case For The Defence
.... flourished with innovative situations pertaining to the most diversified of criminal charges, to the most uncanny regions of law ever dealt. It was this thorough look at Greenspan's life which impressed this reviewer the most.
It was quite clear that after the fourth page, I came upon the conclusion that this casebook would create a most influential reaction to anyone who had displayed any interest towards our Law system in general. Part One of the novel, No Little Clients, presents the reader with th .....

Guilt, Duty, And Unrequited Love
.... some of which involved the classic love triangle. Such conflicts as the love triangle keep the story moving. Common elements of triangles in today’s soaps consist of lust, greed, jealousy, any of which are interchangeable with the conflicts resulting from situations involving lovers coming back from the dead or paternity uncertainties. Yet love triangles, whether in the soap opera or in the novel, are not all uniformly constructed. James Joyce’s The Dead and Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, bot .....

H.G. Wells
.... doing so, based itself on a division of animal specias into the extremes of 'rational creature' and irrational 'brutes' and on the paradoxical identification of the former with horses and of the later with being closely resembling men" (404). A particular fact worth noting in Book IV is Swift's choice of the rational creature and irrational animal. Crane is able to explain where this comparison is derived - the writer Neoplatonist Porphyry's Isagoge of the third century A.D (405). This work of logic was .....

H.G. Wells
.... was a great success, and is the first of hundred's of writings Well's produced. The Island Of Doctor Moreau (1896) is the most horrifying of Wells's fantasies and one of the best written. The doctor is seeking to make animals half human by means of vivisectional surgery, the transplatation of organs, and the pain involved is very vividly described. Doctor Moreau suceede's in making some of his man-animals talk and even read, but they tend to revert to the beast, so Moreau continues to try to get all the .....

Hans Christian Andersen
.... add to the fact that society in this novel is in a desperate state of disrepair.
Other Apocalyptic themes found in the book can be compared to sections of the bible, particularly the Old Testament. The Handmaid's Tale has many elements of social decline written into its plot. From the way women are mistreated to the way corruption and evil have infiltrated the government and army, to the way the black market plays a key role in many people's lives causing a majority of society to become criminals .....

Hard Times
.... the factories were run at this period. A person could lose their job simply by disagreeing with what he felt was wrong because the employer did not really care about the employee. This is the way the workers were treated with no respect. In contrast to the industrial revolution, it would be highly unlikely that a middle class citizen such as Bounderby to employ an aristocrat. The titles of the three books ("Sowing", "Reaping", and "Garnering") are named in a way of giving a .....

Hard Times

The cognitive area emphasizes problem-solving, but also stresses much more creativity than Mr. Gradgrind wanted to deal with while psychomotor area involves simple motor skills such as handwriting and speech which of course were essential even in his plan.
The circus which stayed in Coketown for quite some time was somewhat of an opposing body on a small, hardly noticeable scale to the works and intent of Mr. Gradgrind. It's .....

Hard Times
.... Dickens for allegorical purposes.
Bitzer, the model student of Gradgrind's school of "facts, facts, facts" becomes the very symbol of evil in the educational system that Dickens is trying to portray, as he learns to take care for number one, himself. Reflection of this and Bitzer's informative definition of a horse, as a child in book one, occurs in book three as he speaks of the necessity of apprehending Tom Gradgrind Jr. Sissy represents what Dickens is attempting to foster a desire for in the .....

Hard Times And The Nineteenth Century
.... of industrial relations and educational system during this period. Although, you can not discuss labor relations without bringing focus upon the class society of Victorian England during this period. I will use the Norton Critical Edition of Hard Times, the Sources of the Western Tradition, and the Communist Manifesto to support my analytical interpretation of Charles Dickens Hard Times.
During this period Dickens wrote for a weekly publication called Household Words, each issue dealt with a .....

.... of living in America along with the competition level that America has with the rest of the world. Besides, there is no possible way to make everyone equal in everyday life. Without individuality, there would not be any free thinkers and no dreams to accomplish anything special. Vonnegut uses satire to mock the American political system.
The idea of the American political system being compared to that of the China’s and Soviet Union’s is meaning how the system is much like that of a dictatorship .....

The strong are forced to wear bags filled with lead balls; beautiful people are forced to wear masks so others would not feel unequal to them in looks. The overly intelligent are forced to wear radio transmitters in their ears, which are tuned to a government station that constantly bombards them with horrible sounds to .....

Now to get to the Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry Potter is back for the summer at the Dursley’s home. The Dursley’s are his mothers sister, and that family detests Harry in every way possible.
