It was 7 years ago that Mary, John, mother, father and myself arrived in the city of London. Though we'd been told work here be more abundant, the air hardly compared, then or now, to the crisp farm breeze of our beloved Sourton hamlet in Devon. The move to London was made out of necessity, the farm and our Lord, who we'd thought could sustain us continually in employment grew evermore

‘We turned our back upon the line of cottages or huts perhaps they might be called’ the writer continued, ‘ ..Cumnor is at best a poor squalid place.’ Though lacking the intensity of urban life famously described by Engels (1844), Cumnor epitomizes aspects of a sharply polarised society with a land-less rural working class.

Race to me is one issue that is staring in our face, we see it but behave as if it’s not there. I moved to America a few years ago and experienced the culture shock of the issue of race that is affecting us as people. When I first got here I was so unaware of a fact that my race was referred to as minorities. I knew not much about my history and lived amongst Jamaicans ninety percent of my life. I never stopped to think that my ancestors are originally from Africa and was placed in the Caribbean to work and build the white race. I never stopped think of the fact that I am here because my ancestor survived that ride on that transport ship from Africa to the Caribbean hundreds of years ago. I never stopped to think that I am here because my ancestors survived starvation, branding, whipping, rape, etc. My ancestor didn’t hurt anyone, my ancestors were going about their everyday way of life when the European walked in their lives and complicated it because they needed to acquire wealth that didn’t belong to them. The Europeans separated our families as if they were not living beings, overworked us as if we had no feelings, Hurt us physically to prove to our kind that they were dominant and we should stay humble. My heart hurt when I view the pictures at the back of Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” text of young youths hands and or feet chopped off

He also criticizes the European practice of commonwealth; which, according to More, reflects the downfall of European society. At the dinner with the cardinal, Raphael observes his response stating: “This [response], from the Cardinal was enough to make everyone wildly in favor of an idea which nobody had taken seriously when I had produced it.” (p.32). In English society, opinion reflects obsequiousness more than rational thought.

A scientist walked to his console, set down a cup of coffee and pressed a button. A holographic screen popped up and read “dialing Mr. Edwards”. An image of a slightly graying haired man popped up. The scientist spoke. “Our studies are inconclusive but we have discovered two things, sir: the first is there genealogic structure is similar to that of some animals in the Chordata Phylum, Dinosaurs to be exact. They are extremely aggressive, and the majority seem to have a little over basic intelligence level. Scans of some of the specimens bone structures show thick and sturdy bones. They have shown little to no reaction to narcotic drugs developed on earth.”

The book, “Ceremonial songs of the Creek and Yuchi Indians” is unique because it fits comfortably under classifications of history as well as music. For example, the provided Library of Congress Classification number shows it categorized with folk music from the American Indians and the Dewey Decimal Classification makes no reference to the musical aspect instead emphasizing the ties to the Creek Indians. This is problematic because if someone is not aware of the full topic or title and is seeking the book, they may disregard the music and be unable to locate the book in their search. Retrieval requires solid metadata, especially in these instances where one subject or classification is not enough to adequately describe the “aboutness” of the work. This is one argument in favor of increasing the reach of the semantic web and Linked Data to alleviate some of these problems. As seen in Part 1, achieving coextensivity is not easy when there can only be one DDC or LCC call number, but multiple LCSH headings assigned.

Persepolis, Fruits baskets, Sandman, and Persepolis are all stellar memorable stories I won’t forget anytime soon. Each story had a feel and atmosphere that drew me into the pages. The one book I remember for being the most unserious and fun was Unsounded

Throughout the span of recorded human history, there are countless works of literature written by authors who engraved their thoughts and feelings on paper, hoping to impact the world through the art of writing. While time cast many of these works into the forgotten abyss of irrelevance, a select few pieces of literature managed to stand the test of time, becoming “great books.” Highly regarded by modern literary critics, these lasting pieces form the benchmark in the study of literature. However, an important question must be raised when discussing these “great books.” What makes a book “great,” that is, what qualities of a piece of literature make it significant to modern societies

The book What We Saw is one of my favorite books after I read it. It really grabbed my attention, I pictured it and acted like it was a movie. I’m living in the 21st century when you wrote this book so I understand everything that was going on in it, but I would want to know why you wrote a book about someone getting rapped and having kids read it? I understand that every kid will probably go to a party with under age drinking and no parental supervison, but there might not have something like this go on.

When I first started reading this book, I thought it was going to be a dumb book. But after reading a couple of chapters of it I like this book. but after reading further, I discovered that this book was a really good book. I hate to say good book, Starr has gone through so many bad experiences with her friends being killed right in front of her.

This book is about Jim Dixon, a junior lecturer in history at a provincial English university in the years after World War II, nears the end of his first year at the school. Dixon has not made a good impression upon the faculty and knows that his superior, the absent-minded Professor Welch, could ask him to leave at the end of term next month. Dixon agrees to give the end-of-term lecture on the theme of "Merrie England" and to stay with the Welch's the following weekend for a weekend of music and the arts.

Britain is a small island north of Europe and during the early centuries it was part of the Roman Empire. However, the Germanic invaders known as Anglos and Saxons started conquering the southeastern lands of Britain. Consequently, during the early Middle Ages works of British literature were starting to be published. As such literature represents one way to learn about the culture of Britain. For Example, Beowulf and “The Dream of the Rood” describes Christian beliefs, which was the popular religion in Britain.
