All throughout history, the Jewish people have
been unjustly persecuted. Anti-Semitism has
existed as long as the Jewish people have. Even in
ancient times, the Jews were persecuted mainly

other people, thus fostering hatred. Others were
wary of the Jews becau...

childlike, playing with glass figurines upon a
living room table. Too plagued by her own
humility, Laura contemplates only one future for
herself; seclusion from the outside world where
bad encounters prevail the desire for good
experiences. A lack of positive growth for Laura,

kindred desperation in The Glass Menagerie only to
produce hopelessness as the ultimat...

Before assessing the historical merit of such a
work it is important to systematically debunk the
gross inaccuracies of the text. When assessing the
historical writing of narrative, especially
fictitious writing that presents itself as
history, it is important to take into account the
inherent subjective nature of a narrative. When
creating any account of history it is unavoidable
that the writer of fiction (or even brute fact)
will select and combine sources he designates as

A firm character basis is the foundation upon
which any good novel is built. For an allegorical
novel, Dickens has a surprisingly complex
character foundation. The characters in Hard Times
