Don Cossacks

historical novel genres together worked allowed Scott to consider political and social issues of the day through the medium of the socio-political battles and debates of a previous era—sixty years since.

Don Juan is a name synonymous with seduction. Today, a young man popular with young women may be called a ‘regular Don Juan’ and many bachelors could only hope for that comparison. This modern colloquialism is rooted in the names’ history. For example, Moliere’s Don Juan is a libertine. He is willing to break hearts, wedge between couples, and lie in his pursuit of pleasure. This zealous seduction raises the question of where Don Juan finds pleasure: In the act of seduction or in the lovemaking…

one can escape death. Death is probably one of the most feared words in the English language. Death is this undesired uncertainty that threatens our belief that our lives will never end.

Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
