I am going to discuss, in relation to this
question, Jane Austen's work both book and film "
Sense and Sensibility." Both of them, in different
ways, examine the story of two sisters and their

life of the upper-middle-class English." For, in
parallel with the two these specific works, I will
try to present my opinion according to how "Sense"

Catcher In The Rye Tabula Rasa

I received word that the editors of the Little
Brown and Company are considering changing the
cover of JD Salingers novel, The Catcher in the
Rye. I strongly recommend that the cover be left
alone. The book has been commended on its
exemplary literary meaning for the past fifty
years; the present cover is a visual
representation of this meaning. The blank cover
expresses the overriding theme of controlling ones
own fate, similar to John Locke's idea of the
tabula rasa (blank slate). Indirectly, ...

Theories On Qualities Of Leaders And Followers

There appears to be a particular trend in research
on leadership. Most of it subsumes vision within
charisma. Some scholars even suggest that it is
the vision that leads to the attribution of
charisma to the leaders in the first place.
However, we think that charisma and vision are two
distinct concepts and as such a leader may be
charismatic but not visionary, or visionary but
not charismatic, both charismatic and visionary,
or neither. To us, charisma is an emotion-based
construct or a heart t...

The philosopher Thomas Hobbes is quoted as saying
that life is nasty, brutish and short (Landry).
This certainly turns out to be the case for the
people and animals who live with the alcoholic,
abusive, and murderous man in Edgar Allan Poe's
The Black Cat. One shudders as he describes the
horrific thoughts running through his mind. Even
more terrible and shocking are the senseless acts
of cruelty, and later murder, that he carries out
upon his cat and wife. Edgar Allan Poe evokes a

Partner Who Possesses Unfaithful

Ideally we would want a partner who possesses
desirable traits. We want a partner who possesses
both strength and weakness, who is pure and
wicked, and additionally someone who will love us
as deeply as we do them. However, it is very rare
that someone will find that perfect partner who
fulfills all of their desires. In my opinion, men
and women usually project their guilt in ornate
behaviors that lead to a breakdown in trust. For
