2,106 wordsIntroduction The fall of the Communist regime in the Soviet Union was more than a political event.

Russia faces the seemingly impracticable task of economic liberalization and democ...

Sense Of This Word Jane Eyre
1,362 wordsMaking or Breaking Community (1) Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Mary Barton can hardly be referred to as the exceptional literary masterpiece.

This is because, in her novel, Gaskell creates a very realistic image of Victorian society, often at the expense of over complicating the plot. In order for Mary Barton to be read as rather documentary th...
