Writing Style Good Earth
325 wordsEvery author has his or her own style of writing. The way authors use words to create ideas give them different styles. One interesting writing style is that of Pearl S Buck, the author of The Good Earth. Peter Doyle criticizes Buck's writing style as "almost biblical."

God Is All Powerful God Exists
1,537 wordsThere are laws of this universe that humankind do not understand the origins of. Humans are limited by their limited (but growing) knowledge. A God would be greater than the most unlimited force imaginable, for God would be omnipotent. God, if he exists, is perfect.

No particular social class is lef...
