Third Person Narration First Person Narration
2,209 words
No one would have believed in the last years of
the nineteenth century that this world was being
watched keenly and closely by intelligence greater
than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as
men busied themselves about their various concerns

as narrowly as a man with a microscope might
scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and
multiply in a drop of water. -- H. G. WELLS, The
War of the Worlds Analysis is a delicate task, for
if we a...

Work Of Art True Love
948 words
Love is not a god as the fine philosophers of
Greece once suggested. Love is something far more
powerful and universal, for not all people believe
in gods, yet people cannot refuse the existence of
love. Instead, love is a condition of the human
body that cannot be denied. True love is
obstinate; in the way that music pours into the
ears of an audience, love pouring into the heart
of a man cannot be stopped, denied, or set off
course. Love is a natural instinct. You cannot
artificially make love...

Civil Rights Movement In Education
974 words

1970 s, created many changes for both American
society and its schools. The transformations were
the result of such movements as Bilingual
Education, womens rights activity, and the passing
of the Public Law 94 - 142 legislation. The
incorporation of these new laws and ideas into
society all came with their own consequences. Each
of them helped, in some way, to lessen the
inequality of minority groups in America, like
students whose primary langua...

ineptitude that resulted in the Senate ruling
against the treaty. When Wilson first presented
the treaty, the Senate po...

Lewis Life And Influence In Alice Wonderland

Adventures in Wonderland has a unique standing in

Much has been written about how this novel
contrasts with the vast amount of strict,
extremely moralistic childrens literature of the
Victorian time Lewis Carroll lived in. Yet, as odd
as this novel appears in relation to the other
Victorian childrens stories, this short novel is
odder because it was written by an extremely
upright, ultra conservative man; a ...
