Sir Charles Twenty Eight
1,082 words... do not think that to be a Canadian author one must write about all things that are Canadian, as long as the author fells what they are writing and trying to portray.

Kansas City Star Ernest Hemingway
1,597 wordsMany of the titles of Ernest Hemingway's stories are ironic, and can be read on a number of levels; Soldier's Home is no exception.

Just by turning on the television a child is subjected to violence and provocative images, or is shown the "coolness" of lighting up a cigarette and drinking a beer.
