Oliver Twist

world is different for each individual but, that perceptual world contributes to the experience of the individual regardless of its constituents. In a few case studies of paradoxical neurological disorders Oliver Sacks illustrates the perceptual words of those who differ from the norm. Oliver Sacks was a British born neurologist that spent the majority of his professional life in the United States. In addition to being a well-known physician, Sacks was also a naturalist and author who wrote many…

The leader of the parliament, in the civil war, was Oliver Cromwell. So, he came in power short after the execution of Charles the I.

Disliked until the beginning of the 19th century, admired ever since, historians have tried for centuries to understand the ruler of the only Republic of England. Either seen as a dictator or an admirable leader, Oliver Cromwell is certainly a controversial figure. His use of military force is quite opposed to his ideology of religion toleration. And indeed, faith was a very important matter in Cromwell’s political life. We might wonder if his time at the head of the Commonwealth was crowned…

Early on in Martin Scorsese’s new film, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) cheerfully describes money as being like “mainlining adrenaline.” Belfort, the real-life rogue trader who set up Long Island stockbroking film Stratton Oakmont, is depicted in the film as reckless, obnoxious, and sexist. Nonetheless, as portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, he is a very likeable character. We can’t help but root for him. Everything about The Wolf of Wall Street is excessive. It’s a three-hour orgy of greed,…

Over the years, the term “creativity” has been given numerous varying definitions. It appears as if each individual— a few of whom include Oliver Sacks, Sigmund Freud, and Jean Piaget— has his/her own unique understanding of the seemingly simple term. In analyzing Oliver Sacks’s An Anthropologist on Mars, the definition of creativity is a crucial factor in the clarification and appreciation of individuals with a variety of neurological disabilities. Without a universally accepted definition,…

still at a very young age. Unfortunately, I was not meant to live a life of peace and tranquility. You see, my country was thrown into a civil war, with religion being a major cause. It was so bad that even the king, Charles I, was executed and Oliver Cromwell took over as Lord…

Ramsay: King of the Kitchen "Away from the cameras, he was as good as gold" is a confounding comparison for the outrageous Gordon Ramsay (James). This acknowledged chef has earned his place in the culinary world through hard work and determination. Although several people believe Gordon Ramsay is a cruel, heartless man, he is a compassionate chef, who promotes human rights, exposes illegal practices, and brings awareness to domestic violence. A diversity of influences helped shape Gordon…

Cromwell: The Napoleon of his Age: Daniel Markovits Oliver Cromwell was an exceptional man. He killed a king, played a pivotal role in the English revolution and ruled England for a decade. As a result, many view him as being unique in the modern age. In fact, when searching for a comparison historians range as far afield as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Mickelthwait, 300, 2009) and Julius Caesar (Sharpe, 21, 2010). However, a parallel to Cromwell can be found right across the English Channel:…

The failures of Oliver Cromwell brought a relapse of the Stuart dynasty, of what he had once tried to eliminate. Even though he ended the rule of Charles I of England, in the end his strict governing led to the rebellion of the English people against him. This led to Charles II, Charles I’s son, to rule, in a way, relapsing his father’s rule. Oliver Cromwell’s main purpose of the disposal of the king Charles I was he was ruling England as a absolutist; although, that is what Oliver Cromwell…
