870 words
Was Lee Clegg a murderer or just a political pawn?
Was this the Nationalists revenge for Bloody
Sunday? The DPP thought there was no case to
answer. Why was he then convicted, paroled and
then acquitted of the charge? The army obviously
never thought of him as a killer so then why did
the British government bow to Irish pressure and
then act on Public Pressure for his release and
acquittal? The incident of which Lee Clegg was
convicted of happened in September 1990. Some
reports state that there...

... recovering the self. Isolation is both a
prison and a sanctuary. Adult Children suspended
between need and fear, unable to choose between
fight or flight, agonize in the middle and resolve
the tension by explosive bursts of rebellion, or
silently endure in despair. Isolation is our
retreat from the paralyzing pain of indecision.
This retreat into denial blunts our awareness of
the destructive reality of family dysfunction and
is the first stage of mourning and grief. It

Mary Jane Tragic Story

The novella The Dead by James Joyce tells the tale
of early twentieth century upper class society in
the Irish city of Dublin. The story tells of the
characters entrapment, and the tragic lives they
lead, hiding behind the conventions of their
society. Joyce uses the symbolism to draw a
parallel between the natural way in which the snow
covers the land and the way in which the
characters use their culture unnatural to cover
reality. This story comes together, not only to
tell of the individual t...

University Of Toronto Edmund Spenser

Edmund Spenser vs. Virgil and Ariosto Some
scholars believe Spenser did not have sufficient
education to compose a work with as much
complexity as The Faerie Queene, while others are
still extolling him as one of the most learned men
of his time (587). Scholar Douglas Bush agrees,
scholars now speak less certainly that they once
did of his familiarity with ancient literature
(587). In contrast, Merit Hughes finds no evidence
that Spenser derived any element of his poetry
from any Greek Romance (...

The outsider Michel Houellebecq is a bestseller
and a troublemaker. He is attacked as a
pornographer and adored as a prescient genius. A
stunned liberal establishment has no idea how to
take him. Perhaps he should be dead, says his
friend, the novelist Fr 233; d 233; ric
Beigbeder. If I had had a childhood like him I
would have killed myself. He is a zombie back from
