- 1853: Great Expectations By Charles
- ... clearly see his determination to avoid repeating himself in this impressive gothic novel dealing with the fortunes and misfortunes that befall the main character Pip.

A list of the different characters would be ...
- 1854: Ona
- "Ona" is as Much a Love Story as it is a Tale of Ritualized Beliefs and Cultural Behavior Patterns Often stories in a particular culture take into account, and capitalize on symbols of that particular culture for thematic effectiveness. Many indigenous stories thus contain generalized patterns of beliefs that serve as the backdrop which enables readers to relate to the stories and the content thereof.

However, in To Kill A Mockingbird it is whites harassing other whites for befriending a ... be bigger than the others and ignore it. In either case, Atticus and Grandmother are showing the kids how to handle these problems in the correct manner. Racism is the link that bonds these two stories, "Grandmother's Victory" and To Kill A Mockingbird, together. Mmm... Maybe racism is the wrong word for the issues dealt with in these stories.

For example, the government needs to be careful to avoid letting short-run temporary successes in preventing employment losses during recessions lead to longer-run failures in maintaining low inflation. Another kind of conflict involves the potential for pressure from the political arena. For example, in the day-to-day course of governing the country and making economic policy, politicians may be tempted to put the emphasis on short-run results rather than on the longer-run health of the economy. The government is somewhat insulated from such pressure, however, by its independence, which allows it to achieve a more appropriate balance between short-run and long-run objectives. When unemployment is high the policy that should take place is inflation should increase slightly to drive up prices in order to cause increases in output. When unemployment is ...

Perhaps people have gotten bored with ethics and intellectual rationale. But what does ethics have to do with such scummy news stories? One must consider that the presence of ethics helps us formulate rational thinking and intellect. These stories show that neither is obviously required and this reflects upon the society. The general mentality of the society in the book is best summarized in the following quote: What s wrong with ethics? Ethics ...

These are not just feelings of attraction, she has fallen in love with him; something that had previously seemed impossible.
