Vanity Fair‚ or also now for it’s subtitle “The Novel without a Hero”‚ is a satire to society‚ characterized by hypocrisy and opportunism.

Growing without Parents Sometimes I don’t understand why people take their parents for granted. I see that not everybody appreciate what parents do in order to get what you want or what are your needs. I just don’t understand why?

WORLD WITHOUT TELVISION I dream of a world of higher intellects‚ where people read much more than they do and participate in intellectual debates and other activities that require more thinking and less zombifying in front of an electronic device that does not always produce high-quality intellectual programming.
