Production And Consumption Rest Of The World
589 wordsThis book was definitely an informative and very detailed history of sugar production and consumption, but, most assuredly, it would not even rate in my top 1, 000 books to read list. Let me say first though, Mintz did an excellent job of researching the topic for this book. But, he seemed to concentrate most of his points on the British, with only vague mention of the rest of the world. Furthermore, the format he used proved to be a bit confusing throughout most of the book. Finally, this book ...

Sir Charles Twenty Eight
1,082 words... do not think that to be a Canadian author one must write about all things that are Canadian, as long as the author fells what they are writing and trying to portray. Through reading this, I gained the sense that Carman did this in terms of his writing. Furthermore, this article did not help me to understand Carman's writing more. If anything it somewhat confused me because at one point Ross states that Carman is not patriotic enough, but on the other hand he praises Carman's writing. The art...

Bride Comes To Yellow Sky Verbal Irony
936 wordsIn the mockery of a Western type story, Stephen Cranes The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky has a simple story line with great meaning against inflexibility.

A Heightened Drinking Age
826 wordsI believe a heightened drinking age would definately not stop underage drinking. Mainly due to the fact that it is considered acceptable in our society already. Drinking, unlike drugs, is considered acceptable in todays society. It is even considered a right of passage when a person first begins drinking. I have witnessed this myself. It is considered humorous, when a person is drunk, rather than disturbing. This action can often lead to alcoholism when the person is finally legal to drink. Sinc...

Rape Fantasies Margaret Atwood
1,028 words... n this little episode we can see Estelle's honesty and sweetness, since none of the disguised brutality found in the fantasies of the other two women is evident in the story that Estelle reveals. Along with maintaining an ironic balance within Rape Fantasies, Estelle's personality revelations introduce other ideas into the story. Her casual friendly banter can take a complex, weighty topic such as rape and simplify it into one naive workingwoman's thoughts. She mentions growing up as a Catho...

References To Nora Father References To Nora Torvald
793 wordsIt is important to note that the whole play takes place in one room and that, until the last act, Nora is in every scene; she never seems to leave the room everything comes to her. She is literally trapped in domestic comfort. Also, the first Act takes place on Christmas Eve.
