![]() ![]() Hannah’s main argument was that the theories that were equating violence with power were wrong. ![]() Hannah condemned the failure of the New Left activism to comprehend Marxism and demonstrated further that they are basing their ideas on turbulence on unsupportable reasons. The consequence of her arguments was to illustrate the unreasonableness of the New Left’s grip of violence as an end in itself or even as a way of realizing transformation in the power structure. She argued that the authorities had the ability to resist violence if they used the power vested in them appropriately. Her writings were addressing two audiences: the authorities who were searching for remedial actions to restore calm in campuses in America and the students who were creating turbulence all over the country. ![]() In the book, Hannah put forth a number of arguments in analyzing the issue of violence in the second part of the twentieth century. ![]()

![]() ![]() His father, whom he idolized, is ready to go on trial for being a pedophile, having abused and murdered young boys. Jed, our 17 year old hero, is in a bad place. Sara Hantz is new to me, and I found that she is a very good writer, good enough to make me feel this strong about the story. The subject matter was very depressing, and I found myself at times struggling to continue. When I decided to read this book, I did not anticipate that this would become a difficult and hard book to read. In the Blood by Sara Hantz is a different kind of YA novel.

One of his first published works was A Parents’ Guide to Child’s Play and Recreation. He also had a penchant for wordplay, saying that creating rhymes was a good way for “people to express their feelings without getting in trouble.” After Schwartz left journalism, he started working for a research corporation, which he couldn’t stand, and began doing that part-time, devoting the rest of his hours to writing books.

Although much of the scholarship on Milton’s Paradise Regained and Christian Doctrine focuses on his heretical Arianism, there is still much to be explored in Milton’s corrections of what he believed to be prelatical corruptions of the New Testament. Milton undoubtedly attempts to reform scriptural conceptions of heroism throughout Paradise Regained through his radical displacement of Christ from the traditional Christian Trinity. The link between his progression as a poet and his radical support for the toleration of scriptural interpretation then crystalizes, producing a more precise understanding of the intentions that lie behind Milton’s portrayals of heroism. When parallels are drawn between the young radical intellectual who composed the anti-prelatic tract Of Reformation and the elder master poet of Paradise Regained, the path to a more complete grasp of John Milton’s poetic vision is approached. ![]() ![]() ![]() To explain the word Dalit further- it refers to ‘the broken class.’ It comprises the people who are subjugated, the ones who are deprived of those fundamental rights that any mediocre Brahmin, or Kshatriya or even a Vaishya enjoys.
