Literature Resource Center Short Stories
1,038 wordsSome have coined music as a universal language. Perhaps, the complexity of the notes, the consistency of the beat, the array of instruments, or the flow of lyricism offers this universal appeal.

Though, many argue Nordan's piece suggests merely a collection of short stories rather than a novel, Nordan uses his singsong methodology-...

Production And Consumption Rest Of The World
589 wordsThis book was definitely an informative and very detailed history of sugar production and consumption, but, most assuredly, it would not even rate in my top 1, 000 books to read list.

Rather than relying on familiar arguments about the economic viability of Spain's regime, she turns to the texture of everyday life to demonstrate the corrosion of Spain's legitimacy as a ruling power. Her use of evidence throughout the study is at once subtle and forceful. It is not by providing a barrage of data that she persuades, but by finding a telling detail and analyzing it with sharp ...
