this‚ she had a very biased outlook on what England meant. She wrote about how some thought highly of the country‚ but she had other ideas regarding England.

His utilization of reiteration specifically struck me in its accentuation of his articulate conviction in his position on existing conditions and the eager eventual fate of hued
