... statement at all?"; in other words, the author may consider there is a valid aspect in Ford's statement. Let us take a look what and why the author may disagree with Ford. Ford states that:" ...History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present..." From his statement, we can see that Ford despises the effect of history in our human development; and doesn't acknowledge how the history in past influenced our society in the present. As we know, "Rome is not built in one day." Our human development depends on the flow of history. We absorb knowledge from our history, remold our society, ...

... intellectual trial by combat than the Magus Merlin conjuring up solutions by puffs of smoke, sleight of hand or divine intervention. Ouijaboard politics was the occult domain of Mackenzie King, a man virtually devoid of policy, a political palm reader forever checking the whims and moods of his powerful baronial-Ralston Howe, St. Laurent-and sometimes Byronian colleagues to see how best he could placate them, or calm them, or Heap his beatitudes upon them. Trudeau, from day one , was always more samurai than shaman. Even in his pre-leadership days, Trudeau's love of trial by combat was predominant. Mackenzie ...

... changed and evolved, is seen by some as a hypocrite; a rags to riches story that involves a complete withdrawal from her commitment to the poorer classes. My research indicates that this is not the case; in fact, by all accounts was a brave crusader who recognized freedom and choice in a woman's reproductive life as vital to the issue of the liberation of women as a gender. Moreover, after years of being blocked by opposition, Sanger also recognized the need to shift political strategies in order to keep the movement alive. Unfortunately, misjudgments made by her in this area have left 's legacy open to ...

... works include The Long Day Wanes, The Doctor is Sick, and, perhaps Burgess's most famous book, Clockwork Orange. A Clockwork Orange is an interesting novel that paints a picture of a gruesome violence in the not-so-distant future. The story is based on, and told by the narrator, the fifteen-year old Alex, but it shows many references to the life and experience of its author. In a series of five books, Burgess also focused on his life experiences. Enderby's Dark Lady was the fifth in the series, and that will be the second book focused on in this paper. Anthony Burgess's work in A Clockwork Orange and End ...

... Works Keats had already written a translation of Vergil's Aeneid and some verse; his first published poems (1816) were the sonnets "Oh, Solitude if I with Thee Must Dwell" and "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer." Both poems appeared in the Examiner, a literary periodical edited by the essayist and poet Leigh Hunt, one of the champions of the romantic movement in English literature. Hunt introduced Keats to a circle of literary men, including the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley; the group's influence enabled Keats to see his first volume published, Poems by John Keats (1817). The principal poems in the volume ...

... instead you boarded the boat, H.M.S. Beagle, and brought with you only the necessities. You learned more as an individual on that trip than most scientists do with all their intricate tools. I, like you, gave up luxuries at a point in my life in order to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not , when I came to die, to discover that I had not lived. Following the advice of my friend Emerson, I, like you, went out and experienced nature as a transparent eyeball, observing as much as I could. I noticed the Pickerel under the ice i ...

... Eliot quickly became popular with Britain and was known as a great poet and a literal critic. Eliot is best known for two of his works: The Waste Land (1922) and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915). Actually the Love song is the beginning of the Waste Land. The Waste Land is in 5 parts, so it is more of a story in poetical form. In the Love Song, Eliot actually sounds a bit like a optimist, quite frankly though his own “waste land�steps in half way through. This is his only poetic work I like. But it will never be at the top of any of my lists. In this “song� , JAP (J. Alfred Prufrock) is writ ...
