The Golden Apples Of Sun
421 words
Twenty two stories, each as enchanting as the
last. From tales of small towns, spaceships, and
even sea serpents, Bradbury conjures up a wealth
of images with which to astound us. Some tales
have a twist, some don't, but each and every one
has charm. From the opening story the reader is
hooked, drawn into Ray Bradbury's universe. The
most invigorating thing about this work, like so
many of his others, is that there are no limits.
Bradbury never concerned himself with mundane,
vanilla flavoured r...

Daisy Miller Golden Age
669 words
The incongruity between reality and appearance:
The idea of subtext is a metaphor for the manner
in which the European-American social circle in
Europe misunderstands the true character of Daisy
Miller. She is innocent and uncultured and
incautious but the circle sees only the surface of
her character and the actions that character
takes. They imagine a member of their social
circle, thus someone with the experience and
knowledge to understand and exaggerate the mores
and codes of the European c...

Golden Age Public Office

I would rather be Athenian. Too many simple
reasons factor in on this decision. The Spartans
were a much poorer society, and had less
intellectual inventions- saying something about

to get a great education, while Athenian girls
were taught such things as weaving and cooking.
The boys were expected to hold public office...

my mind when I thought of California. As a child,

20 Th Century Lao Tzu

The extremes of cultural revolution put an end to
whatever hopes the followers of Buddhism had about
its restoration. Today Buddhism in China is a
historical object of the past, an ancient
tombstone that has been ravaged and vandalized by
the clash of classes and ideological ideas. It is
really uneasy to say how long it would take for
the cycle of Dhamma to get back its supremacy and
whether it would ever occur at all. (Trevor, 94)
So there are evidences of Buddhists in China as
early as the 3 r...
