Brigadoon is utopian as it falls in line with three utopian principles. The first principle, as Claeys from the Cambridge Reader explains, says, “the Utopian Narrative is defined as the detailed and systematic description of a society better than, and in opposition to, the writer’s own” (155). Brigadoon’s first production happened in 1947. Looking at current national and world events in the 1940s proves that Brigadoon truly depicted a society different and in opposition to that of the current…

“...each day mankind and the claims of mankind slipped farther from him. Deep in the forest, a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it… the love for John Thornton drew him back to the fire again.: This compelling passage significantly impacts the perspective of the story. This quote from the story takes place after Thornton rescues Buck from Hal’s mistreatment with…

your post title you get more hits. There is a name for that: listicles (I feel like I should turn my head and cough). Sorry for the deception, but since you are already here... One day they will find me dead, lazy-boy reclined, spilled glass of scotch by my side (hope it’s the cheap brand; hate to waste the good stuff), my NETFLIX queue empty, and the cat sniffing at my rotting corpse (wait, I don’t have a cat – how did he get in here?) It may not work out like that; perhaps I will die in my…

title you get more hits. Sorry for the deception, but since you are already here please read on. I may not have ten reason that I will die alone, but I firmly believe they will find me one day, lazy-boy in the recline position, a spilled glass of scotch by my side (hope it’s the cheap stuff; hate to waste anything good), my NETFLIX queue empty, and a cat sniffing at my rotting corpse (wait, I don’t have a cat – how did he get in here?)

In the book The Call of the Wild by Jack London, one important theme is that nature destroys those who do not adapt to its laws. Since the book takes place largely in the Far North, where the forces of nature are raw, harsh, and unforgiving, this theme is illustrated repeatedly. Up in Canada and towards Alaska, the driving winds, frozen lands, and vigorous work all demand adaptations. Anybody who can’t adapt is harshly punished. Examples of this theme include the deaths of Curly, Dave, Charles,…

While in exile, King Harald of Norway decided he wanted the English throne too. Tostigg offered his services to the king, and was accepted.

“Teaching sex ed in schools is really important for obvious reasons. No parent wants to talk to their kids about sex and no kid wants to talk about sex with their parents”., This quote from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight puts the conversation taking place in the U.S about sex into an informative, yet entertaining package.
