Carl Jung believed that the structure of the human psyche is comprised of three main parts: the conscious, personal unconscious and the collective unconscious (refer to figure 1). The conscious is basically the function or activity which maintains the relation of psychic contents with the ego or one’s state of awareness. Personal unconscious consists of experiences or memories that can be recalled by an individual, either through the will of the person or by employing special technique (e.g. Hypnosis).

Sayers defines vassalage as "a personal bond of mutual service and protection between a lord (seigneur) and his dependant, and was affirmed by an oath and the rite of "homage"." The Song of Roland undeniably represents the bond between lord and ... the life of the court form as a picturesque background rather than the focal point of knightly virtue: its rules sit lightly on those who aim at high things."

- 2287: With Malice Toward None
- ... strongest limb." (p 446) My View on the Book I found this book interesting and was surprised it was not another documentary style written biography. It was actually interesting to read due to Oates’ creative writing style.

- ... to have one thing in common. Their themes are about how the human mind and spirit relate to things in life. He doesn’t stray from that commonality in Winter Moon. Koontz’s purpose in writing the book was to show that the power of the mind is yet an unmatched force. Both my mother and I agree that he accomplished this very well. His use of characters also fits a pattern that has developed in his writing. Koontz uses the same two characters in many of his novels: the heroic, faithful male and the strong female. Koontz’s employment of indirect characterization is impeccable, and makes the reader feel as though they ... interest. Meanwhile, the isolation of the Montana ranch ads an element of suspense. My mom and I agree that the irony and suspense make an irresistible combination. Dean Koontz has done a superb job in writing a bone chilling suspense thriller. The book gets you involved very fast and continues to build momentum throughout the story. Koontz’s handling of the main elements in the novel was flawlessly executed, which ...
