2005 - The Year In Review
We can still vividly recall the pointed questions in the late 1990s regarding diversified approaches: "Why do foreign stocks make sense?", "Why are alternative asset classes worth the trouble?" and "Why should endowment funds hold bonds?" were among the most common inquiries.

Technology And Its Dangerous Effects On Nature And Human Life As Perceived In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein And William Gibson's Neuromancer
At first glance this topic could seem rather irrelevant having in mind that the two works are separated by more than a century. During this lapse of time, humanity has witnessed profound changes at a breath-taking speed. The partly Gothic and partly Romantic world of Mary Shelley is quite different from the reality Gibson predicts. We could not say, however, that there are no links between the two. Shelley's work could be viewed as the

The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet-Critical Lens Essay
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Critical Lens Essay Someone once said, "All literature shows us the power of emotion. It is emotion, not reason that motivates characters in literature."

Boon Review - Family Matters (Rohinton Mistry)
The definition of a family is a culturally variable, ever-evolving concept. Depending on the purpose of our interest, families may be understood through their living situations, marital status, economic structure, through traditional bloodlines--or some combination of the above. Ideas about family range from institution to institution, from culture to culture, and even between people within a culture.

Critical Examination Of "The Death Of A Salesman"
"Death of A Salesman" is really about how reality and illusion interplay in each and everyone's personality in the context of achieving success in life.

Review Of Baby Disaster By Robert Creeley
Creeley's poems aren't just words, even though that's how they can appear. His lyrics represent so much more then a single glance can justify.

"Baby Disaster" is written for the two children he had with his second wife, Penelope Highton. The poem was written in 1984, and his children were born in 1978

Women Of Frankenstein
The Women of Frankenstein "When reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, one cannot help but notice that the women characters seem to have little substance compared to the male characters.
