Icarus Allsorts is a poem that displays war in a very ignorant way. In Greek Mythology, the story of Icarus tells of a man, who's father created him artificial wings. Ignorance and childishness are displayed when Icarus flies too close to the sun, melting his wings. It is a tale of waring, reminding us to remember our limitations and not to be arrogant. The word “allsorts” is a pun on the sweets, liquorice allsorts, further exaggerating the theme of childishness. The first and second line of the poem continue the theme. “A little bit of heaven fell, From out the sky one day.” This image makes me picture a child looking up towards the sky, unaware that he is watching bombs fall from the sky, mistaking them for “little bits of heaven.” The topic of war only becomes evident in the fifth line, where the poem mentions a General in front of a radar screen. This shows that even the responsible, professional Generals in the army still grin at the opportunity to make an explosion, they are certainly not lacking childishness. This poem has a very distinct rhythm to it, making it possible to read like a nursery rhyme. However, the poem displays a very dark topic of death, violence and conflict, however somehow is made to sound as if it were written by a young child. In the poem…

American band formed in the summer of 1995 by the merger of part of the group Black Liquorice and Popesmashers. After a successful joint tour, these two teams decided to mix the disco-funk with more aggressive sounds and integrate the hardcore singer Nic Offer from the The Yah Mos.

In Thailand, some lunches are served for free and are full of benefiting foods. “School lunch today: Fried rice with pork, chicken soup, fresh cucumber, and black jelly (liquorice flavoured) for dessert” (World Vision). Ordinarily, most of the primary schools in Asia make…

was found that Little Albert had a disability called hydrocephalus which is the build-up of fluids in the brain, such innate factors makes it difficult for us to say the study can easily be generalised to all as others without such a disability could have reacted in a different way, along with the fact that the case study only consisted of one child, lessening the possibility of generalising even more. However, as it was a case study the findings were quite rich and detailed, and allowed insight…

For example, although you can tell that the American wants Jig to have an abortion, the American never mentions the word “abortion”, implying that the have a hard time communicating. They simply hint what they want to say to each other rather than just state what they want. Also, you can tell that they argue a lot since in the beginning of the story they started arguing about minimal things such as when Jig said that the beer tasted like liquorice to then discussing whether or not she should go…
