Hannah Jarvis also has many of the same characteristics, particularly in regards to emotional intelligence that Thomasina does. Hannah is driven by her academic work and finds comfort in facts and knowledge where emotion makes her uncomfortable and exasperates her. This is illustrated in scene two when Hannah is discussing the hermit of Sidley Park with Bernard, HANNAH. The hermit was placed in the landscape exactly as one might place a pottery gnome. And there he lived out his life as a garden…

Why does Nashandra need you to open the door to the throne? why does the herald WANT you to ascend the throne of want? Why doesn’t the king sit upon the throne? What is the throne of want?. To explain I’m going to start at the end and work my way back through the story, this might be strange but there is a reason for this its because most characters in dark souls 2 are driven by a…

Rock and Roll! Rock is what I’m talking about but how did this phenomenon occur? Well it started with an African American man named Chuck Berry; He combined all the Blues and Jazz, the most popular music that was going on at the time. This brought teenagers together it was no longer black and white it was just teenagers.

The Author, Alan Paton, is a dedicated and opinionated Christian, linking his writing to his beliefs. Since he was born, he has been a Catholic, giving him a deep religious background.

It helped to break down the barriers between fantasy and reality for the…
