Journalism Real Creativity And Reactionary
877 wordsOn January 1, 2002 I had finally finished authoring my latest fiction book, which is titled The Great Teen Fruit War, A 1960 Novel. The work was quite a Promethean task to complete, having 162, 000 words on 468 pages presented in 46 Chapters.

It is a modern myth because in the time of today, we will tend to question the possibility of such an occurrence, rather than rule it out completely, because we are unsure whether it could actually happen or not. However, in the time of Mary Shelly, back in the 17 th Century, the possibility of a human being made in an un-natural way was completely unrealistic. The story was just...

Morally Correct One Person
778 wordsMorality. It has been questioned by people, honored by people and revered since the beginning of time. Yet even today not one person can say what is morally right. It is a matter of opinion.
