Thomas Hobbes (Leviathan) and John Locke (Second
Treatise of Government) Thomas Hobbes and John
Locke are typically linked with the foundations of
political economy, while at the same time Locke's
teaching is regarded as differing substantively
from that of Hobbes. Locke can be shown to have
advanced the cause of political economy almost

Of Mice and Men Question: The theme of loneliness
is one that is all pervading in Of Mice and Men.
Discuss this statement with references to both the
novel and the film. The theme of loneliness
features throughout many scenes in Of Mice and Men
and is often the dominant theme of sections during
this story. This theme occurs during many
circumstances but is not present from start to
finish. In my mind for a theme to be pervasive is
must be present during every element of the story.

Emily Dickinson Poetry Quot Dickinson

YVOR WINTERS The problem of judging [Emily

subtle one. Her meter, at its worst that is, most
of the time a kind of stiff sing-song; her
diction, at its worst, is a kind of poetic nursery
jargon; and there is a remarkable continuity of
manner, of a kind nearly indescribable, between
her worst and her best poems. [" I like to
see it lap the Miles" ] will illustrate the
defects in perfection... / 283 / The poem is
abominable; and the quality...
