'Silly Old Bear!'; Almost every child and adult has heard this phrase before which comes from the Winne the Pooh series written by A.A. Milne. In this series of books written about Winnie the Pooh, the 'silly old bear,'; his friends, and their adventures together in the Hundred Acre Wood Forest, Milne captures the 'incomparably and enduringly, the frolic and indolence, the sweetness and foolishness, of animals which are also people(Discovering Authors).'; Many critics and people agree that Pooh is

Biographers and critics have discovered similarities with real people in her life with the characters (Stanley and Milne 90). Critics discussed her book almost as avidly as the rest of the American public most praised its ability to hold a leaders attention but it was in spite of its length (“Overview of Margaret Mitchell” par.20). Mitchell’s book was an immediate success before it was even published. It was chosen Book of the Month Club in main section (par.16). Her best-selling novel had changed

In this case, Kallessi Mc Tavish is the principal, Maya Stork is the agent and the new suppliers are the third party. Firstly, this is a case of ratification as all the requirements of ratification are met, i.e. there is a clear principal in existence. This requirement can be contradicted with the case of Kelner V Baxter 1866 LR 2 CP 174, where the directors ordered goods before the company was even formed and so could not be held to pay for the goods. Principal is in capacity. Ratification is timeous
