It reveals Laura’s apparent dedication and self-sacrifice in contrast to Braggioni’s exploitation. It is important to notice the off-putting description of Braggioni‚ as well as the way that Laura avoids situations with him‚ staying away from home as late as she can and then unwillingly enduring his presence. This tension between two ways of life is developed throughout "Flowering

    Do you think that Sandy’s ‘betrayal’ of Miss Jean Brodie is justified? Discuss with reference to the text. I do think that Sandy’s betrayal of Miss Jean Brodie is justified because Miss Brodie used fascist views to educate the girls in the school which should be stopped. However it could be said that it is not justified for Sandy to betray Miss Brodie because it is mostly due to jealousy and revenge. Miss Brodie teaches how she likes in the school. She does not like how you are supposed to

    Peter the Great: Reformer or Revolutionary? Peter the Great‚ or Peter I‚ was a man who introduced sweeping changes in Russia during his reign‚ some that were great for his country‚ and others that lead to misfortune.

    I suddenly‚ and quite strangely‚ have found myself conflicted about Peter Pan. I thought I knew the story‚ believed I was familiar with it. My Mother has used the term "Peter Pan Syndrome" to describe nearly every young member of our family at one time or another. It means you never want to grow up‚ just like the boy in Walt Disney’s animation. Peter wants to play in Never Land forever and avoid responsibility while careening through the air amid pirates and redskins and a strange yet hopeful band

    tricks the viewer and the detective to believe that Peter is the killer. There is never any direct evidence to indicate that Peter murdered anyone.
