Oliver Goldsmith‚ The Vicar of Wakefield ! As I havenʼt read anything from Goldsmith before‚ I took the novel quite seriously and I wanted to read it first without the introduction not to have any other opinion in my mind.

Allusion The poem‚ “Lilies” which was written by Mary Oliver in 1935 was one which I found to be rather compelling.

Although this indeed may be true‚ Oliver’s continuous

Pioneers‚ Oliver Edwards’ outburst against Reverend Grant on the topic of forgiveness sheds light on the meaning of civilization rather than religion. This dissertation stems from a conversation before the conflict in which Grant told Edwards of his hope that his education “eradicated most of those revengeful principles which [he] may inherited by descent” (Fenimore Cooper‚ 137)—due to his presumed Native American blood. It was also known in the earlier chapters that Chingachook was a warrior before his
