rarefied limbo of Christmas sentiment and Christian charity‚ so abstract as to be empty of life and meaning. His encounter with the three ghosts is far more credible‚ far more realistic‚ than this closing vision of life of permanent goodness‚ which scarcely resembles human life at all. In one respect‚ of course‚ this misses the point‚ the coda A Christmas Carol is not about the imaginative rendering of life at all. However‚ the enciphering and selling of a cultural dispensation and as such it‚ as it

This Fleeting World This Fleeting World takes about two hundred and fifty thousand years worth of history and compacts it into a one hundred and twenty page book. I believe Christian did a stellar job of doing so. Although short‚ it is very rich in knowledge about how our world came to be. His points are powerful and well put. This book definitely stands out in all the black and whiteness of history books. This fleeting world ties the start of humanity‚ to current life very efficiently.

For example‚ when Brooks describes how

I wasn’t exactly thrilled to hear we were studying this book in class but I found that I really enjoyed it. I really liked it because of the fact that the prominent theme of racial prejudice is so controversial. I found it very hypocritical that the gossiping friends of Aunt Alexandra could be so concerned about the maroons in Africa and yet be so racial to the black people in their society.
