- 1831: Structure Of The Lost Honour O
- ... metaphor is used. The information scattered means that the channel is always changing course. The tone of this story, and even the text itself says that this is a police report, but the use of short and long chapters could possibly suggest something different. In the short chapters there are little bursts of action, whilst in the longer chapters it goes into far more detail. This is like a newspaper in a way, the headlines with the bursts of action, and the ... this reasoning is probably incorrect since the author is trying to attack the newspaper. It is however possible that the author is subtly trying to show how he thinks newspapers should be written, using these short and long chapters as examples. The police report really starts at about chapter 11. Before this, the narrator is giving the reader some background to the events. These first few chapters, up to the ...
- 1832: Essay About Cooper Industries
- ... will be more beneficiary. Apparently there is more demand for Cameron's products than the Champions. Little adjustments in the production process along with the 'Cooperization' adjustment will have make the company efficient in a short period of time. In contrast, Champion is considered to have 1950's production techniques and only one product line, spark plugs, which will require tremendous changes within the company. The other option may be to ... the financial risks involved. By allocating all the departments such as Management Development & Planning in the process, Cooper may turn things around. Since the beginning, Cooper's way of acquiring companies seem to create success stories in the end. Champion still has brand name recognition in Europe and Asia (personal knowledge) which maybe taken advantage of. Major changes for the American market may take place while the revenues from the overseas ...
- 1833: Crude Operatons - Oil And The Environment
- ... well. Offshore drilling removes the natural resources that "the world will look to the oceans for in the 21st century" (Environmental News Network). Already, it is clear that our marine resources are overstressed. In a short while, the full effects of depleted oceans will reach us. Countries that rely on the oceans for their economy will simply collapse. The stress that is placed on the oceans leaves a major impact on ... Offshore Oil and Gas Guidelines."

- 1834: Wells Social Imagination
- ... by his novels and his essays in sociology. His later works had been so defensive and, in one sense, didactic that one is apt to forget that many of the earlier books, and all the short stories, must have originated in the effervescence of creative imagination. THE TIME MACHINE, despite certain obvious faults of imagination and style, is a brilliant fantasy: and it affords a valuable picture of the young Wells looking ...
- 1835: Iliad By Homer
- ... his fellow Greeks, in these similes nearly exclusively. From the heroic effortsin the Iliad itself it is clear that the populace of his timewere highly emotional creatures, and higher brain activity seems to be in short, and in Odysseus' case, valuable, order. In the Iliad, there seems to be relatively little storyline from the Trojan's side. We are regaled with story uponstory of the Greeks, their heroes, and their exploits ... flit in countless throng among the spring flowers, bunched in knots and clusters..." This simile is tainted with dark wordslike "from a hollow cave" and "bunched in knots", giving the "bees" an ominous tone. A short, but emotionally appealing, simile is found after the Greek warriors have changed their mind about leaving and return to the Scamander: "They stood as thick upon the flower-be spangled field as leaves that bloom ... the Greeks are made to look like animals. In Book Ten Nestor comments on a set of horses that Odysseusis ushering, won by Diomedes through killing some Trojans, that they are "like sunbeams." A very short, and odd, description for horses. One is reminded of Apollo and his kinship with his chariot, often referred to as racing across the heavens. Shortly after Agamemnon dons his armor. On this armor fit ...
- 1836: Urban Consolidation
- ... of the problems inherent with urban policy in general. Holistically, everyone is, in part, responsible. However, the futility of the current organisational strategies is not to be excused. Governments and community response has generally been short term (BCC,1996). The reasoning is simple and two tier; State and Federal Governments are elected primary on short term contracts, whereas Local Governments and community organisations maintain a more stable, continuing set of goals and motivations (Petrulis,1998); Local Government and community organisations have, as a rule, substantially less authority over public policy ... be achieved only if the elements upon which it is composed seek to benefit all of whom it will affect. Appropriating issues is clearly not a substitute for participatory community involvement. It, and other such short-term time and money conservation techniques, will ultimately cost the nation dearly if community concern, communication, and faith are abandoned for resentment and protest. We must avoid exaggeration, and prejudice over questions involving social ...
- 1837: Jane Erye - Feminism
- ... Austen was apparently not especially pleased by this honour (see her letter on the infidelities of the Prince and his wife). This episode was productive of her amusing correspondence with Mr. Clarke. Persuasion This relatively short novel, her last, was written in the last few years of Jane Austen's life, and published only after her death in 1817 (though she described it, in a letter of March 13 1816, as ... of the cancelled chapter is the only original manuscript of any part of Jane Austen's published novels which has survived. Minor Writings Jane Austen's minor writings (besides her letters) include the Juvenilia (early short pieces written for the amusement of her family, before she had started on any of her novels), several incomplete beginnings of novels, Lady Susan, the Plan of a Novel, some light verse, some prayers, and ... much larger, due to the institution of "circulating libraries" (book rental shops), and also the fact that the novel was published in three separately-bound volumes (as was the usual practice). Northanger Abbey This playful short novel is the one which most resembles Jane Austen's Juvenilia. It is the story of the unsophisticated and sincere Catherine Morland on her first trip away from home, for a stay in Bath. ...
- 1838: Jane Eyre
- ... gloom, and glittering eyes of fear moving where all else was still, had the effect of a real spirit: I thought it like one of the tiny phantoms, half fairy, half imp, Bessies's evening stories represented as coming out of lone, ferny dells in moors, and appearing before the eyes of belated travelers. (46) Throughout her childhood at Gateshead Jane was treated in the most unjust manner, but never until ... no tolerance or sympathy in the least bit. Helen firmly says, "Would you not be happier if you tried to forget her severity, together with the passionate emotions it excited? Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs" (90). This turns out to be a lesson about herself that Jane chooses to take with her for the future progression of her identity. We know ...

- ... from China because of their own struggles. They all want their daughters to grow up successful and without any of the hardships they went through. One mother, Suyuan, imparts her knowledge on her daughter through stories. The American culture influences her daughter, Jing Mei, to such a degree that it is hard for Jing Mei to understand her mother's culture and life lessons. Yet it is not until Jing Mei ... her mother's place at the mah jong table, creating a similarity between them from the beginning. Suyuan dies two months before the start of the book, and therefore is not able to tell the stories. Jing Mei has learned and must tell her stories in her place, forming another parallelism between mother and daughter. Because Suyuan is dead, Jing Mei must act in place of her mother when she goes to meet her Chinese sisters in China. Throughout ...

- ... the death of David and the death of the nation. Israel has been divided, and the two kingdoms have begun to slide ito idolatry and corruption toward collapse and captivity. 2 Kings relates the sordid stories of the 12 kings of the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the 16 kings of the Southern Kingdom (Judah). For 130 years, Israel endures the succession of evil rulers, until the are conquered by Assyrian and led into captivity.
