War is presented in various ways in literature with each writer presenting it in their own unique way due to influences in their social and historical background e.g. Owen wrote poems about war as he was experiencing it.

By having an accident or tragedy in the pieces‚ the writers make the reader feel compassion because it is not the central characters fault. From saying that the boy was ‘a child at heart’ whilst ‘doing a

The purpose of this essay is to consider how issues of environmental justice are depicted‚ and how writers link such violence to ideas of feminism or the lives of women. The essay will provide critical examinations of texts by eco-feminist writers. A brief conclusion will then question if the writers always depict environmental justice in this way.

The power of America’s economy at this time is often overlooked due to the presence of prohibition‚ gangsters‚ the Jazz Age and the Ku Klux Klan. It is fascinating to be able to compare two novels‚ written

Some of their key themes were very similar‚ such as the importance of religion and the role it played in everyday life‚ while other matters were unique to their time‚ such as the medieval selling of indulgences‚ or the early modern Reformation of the Church.
