With missense, the alteration of the nucleotide causes a different amino acid and essentially, this potentially may have “little…

No matter what individual schemas readers bring to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, there will be at least a few times in which those schemas are subverted, simply because so much that happens in the book is nonsense and, to us, impossible. Furthermore, it’s true that disrupted schemas, both in and out of the book, often create humor or at the very least amusement.

with nearly every able man around enlists to fight in the war. “‘But I personally won't set foot in town until this war nonsense is over.

The Color of Water offers a cultural portrait of the life of the young Ruth, or rather Ruchel Dwajra Zylska’s Orthodox Jewish upbringing. Her father was a harsh, strict, no nonsense, and no time for affection kind of man. He did not love Ruth’s mother, nor Ruth or her brother. All he cared about was making money and being a Rabi. Ruth’s father was not a family man and he could care less about the family that he “ran into the…

received well initially by English audiences and critics but was thought of as similar to Lewis Carol’s nonsense poems due to the nothingness that it presents and the way in which it goes about this. “Waiting for Godot at the Arts Theatre Club is a play to send the rationalist out of his mind and induce tooth-gnashing among people who would take Lewis Carroll 's Red Queen and Lear 's nonsense exchanges with the fool as the easiest stuff in the world. The play, if about anything, is ostensibly…
