Orwell and AtwoodCOMPARE AND CONTRAST THE WAYS IN WHICH ORWELL AND ATWOOD PRESENT THE STATES CONTROL OVER LOVE AND SEX IN THE TWO NOVELS.Orwell and Atwood
The authoritarian governments in the novels ‘1984’ and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ both institute control over love and sex in an invasive and sometimes harrowing and virulent way; leaving me with a feeling of despair for the characters involved. Throughout both novels passion is extinguished, hearts broken, and minds corrupted, all so the ‘regimes’ are able to "control the mind” and make “the prevailing mental condition…controlled insanity" and give the people in the

The Communist ManifestoCritically assess The Communist Manifesto. To what extent does this book capture key elements of Marx’s broader social theory?The Communist Manifesto
The Communist Manifesto is arguably the world’s most influential paper that has ever been written. The authorship is that of both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel but it is believed that the Manifesto is “essentially Marx’s work” (Malia, 1998) as it contains the basic thought that belongs primarily to Karl Marx.

THE TAMING OF TITAN: PROLOGUEUpon a distant hilltop, beneath a familiar night sky, a camp fire was burning. The flames were a beacon to the world, a warning and a good omen. Above this quiet scene the bloated moon heaved its perfectly round spherical hulk to its zenith, resolutely pouring the last of its silver light upon an ever darkening world. The clouds that threatened the end of moonlight cast shadows upon the silent land, the rolling hills and gushing streams beneath neither cared nor acknowledged the plight of the moon, and did not mourn its loss when it was hidden by the black storm clouds. One by one the stars that supported the moon in its vain quest to give liTHE TAMING OF TITAN: PROLOGUE

Exams, fun. Haven't done those in a long while.
I'm doing alright. Been fighting a migrain all day today. I always forget what your messenger name is. I never recognize it, until the other day.
Forgotten Realms rp. hm... I don't know alot about the FR world. Just what I've read in the first four drizzt books. And I'm so bad about my other rp sites right now. I've been neglecting them since the old laptop went down.
But hey, whenever you see me on MSN, go ahead and yell at me if you want.

I am not on IM much during exams but if I see ya will yell at ya.
FR's is a DnD world so most of the same rules apply, maybe slightly different deities but aligned and all that jazz are the same. I RPed FR's having only played the Baldur's Gate games so if you have read even a couple of Sally books you'd be fine.
Seriously, its not my board - I don't think I tried to get you on my board (might have dropped not so subtle hints maybe) - Faerun is like my only other RPG atm, and I am not even on staff.
Hope to speak to ya soon, anyways!

okay, so you're not Claire on msn?
