Mark Harris' Criticism Of Doctorow's Book
Number of words: 740 | Number of pages: 3.... but
it seems as if he is trying desperately, (and badly) to search for his own
style, a way to test his own limits as an author. While the language and
flow of the book is hard to grasp in the beginning, it soon becomes
somewhat more clear to the reader and seems to move the pace of the book
along faster than it did before. But although the book seems to move much

which could not gain support from Europe to develop (as Europe was to
concentrate on its own further development and unity at the moment), and to how
the joining of Mexico was to benefit the US (and Canada) as it would open a

Medea Vs. Hedda Gabbler
Number of words: 1051 | Number of pages: 4.... from having any strong hold on the situation that will turn out successfully. This is proven in the end when Hedda commits suicide-she has lost control and is not strong enough to handle the ensuing scandal. Although out of the two actions, the worst seems to be Medea’s, it is also Medea’s actions that merit the most excuse as defense. She was having everything taken away from her, and she could not stop it, so she took the only action possible to make Jason understand how he had wronged her.

Medea and Hedda come from very different .....

Being a well-educated, trustworthy, highly admired pastor, no one suspected him to be the father of Hester’s baby. Finally, his conscience fell into play and he admitted to his sin.
