gold stock was to block trade with other nations,
and extract resources from far off colonies. This
was the major justification for early
colonization. In the quest for profit, England led

Child Of The City Bigger

In Native Son, Wright employs Naturalistic
ideology and imagery, creating the character of
Bigger Thomas, who seems to be composed of a mass
of disruptive emotions rather than a rational mind
joined by a soul. This concept introduces the
possibility that racism is not the only message of
the novel, that perhaps every person would feel as
isolated and alone as Bigger does were he trapped
in such a vicious cycle of violence and
oppression. Bigger strives to find a place for
himself, but the blindn...

very deep, but look, look j...

Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock

The so-called Love Song The ironic character of
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, an early poem
by T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) in the form of a
dramatic monologue, is introduced in its title.
Eliot is talking, through his speaker, about the
absence of love, and the poem, so far from being a
song, is a meditation on the failure of romance.
The opening image of evening (traditionally the
time of love making) is disquieting, rather than
consoling or seductive, and the evening becomes a
patient (Sp...
