Two of Simon Armitage’s poems‚ ’Poem’ and ’About His Person’ are written about someone who has‚ for unspecified reasons‚ passed away or gone. One is in the style of a eulogy and looks back on the life of its persona‚ presenting contrasting views of it‚ while the other examines the articles found on a man after his death. Both give the readers some impression of the personas‚ but are somewhat ambiguous‚ inviting us to form our own mental pictures of the people and judge them for ourselves. The man

The comical‚ semi-autobiographical and prejudicial play written by Neil Simon‚ Biloxi Blues‚ captured my attention years ago.

For me‚ born into a military family‚ and then marrying a retired military man‚ the choice to read and write about this play was quite easy

Wheelan dissects the theorem by using multiple examples to support the claim that the theorem only works if large samples
