As the leader of the Reformation, he needed to take responsibility for what his movement caused.

His writings and teachings consistently defended the nobility’s power. In his Ninety-Five Theses,…

Paul III. The council would end up meeting in three different periods which include, 1545-1547, 1551-1552, and finally 1562-1663 (“Council n.p.) (Collinson, 112-113). Meetings were held in the city of Trento in the deep valley of Adige (Collinson, 112). Little did the council know, they were defining Catholicism for the next four centuries. As Collinson puts it in his book, The Reformation, “A nest of mice having labored gave birth to a mountain.” (Collinson, 113). A great deal of the matters…

Although the 75% reach rule wasn’t always 75%, it was actually only 60%. That meant the population for the license areas that were controlled by a person or a company could not exceed more than 60% of the Australian population (Dwyer 2016). In 1992 the 60% reach rule extended to 75% as the outcome was to create commercial metropolitan television networks such as Seven, Nine and Ten and regional television networks such as Prime WIN and Southern Cross Austereo.

Now death is another predominant theme in Salinger’s works and depending on the stories plot and characters death can play various roles. For instance, in “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” death or suicide is Seymour’s character and state of mind.

Under my breath Juana repeated an ancient magic to guard against such evil, and on top of that she muttered spoke a Hail Marry Between every breath and with the soft sounds of chattering teeth. My body slowly inching forward, slowly and gracefully. My hands shaking like the wind whistling though the willow trees, with my hands clammy like the clam I am, and my eyes were on the scorpion.
