'Well!' muttered Quilp, as he marked her earnest look. 'I believe you. Humph! Gone already? Gone in four-and-twenty hours I What the devil has he done with it,that's the mystery!' This reflection set him scratching his head and biting his nails once more. While he was thus employed his features gradually relaxed into what was with him acheerful smile, but which in any other man would have been a ghastly grin of pain, and when the child looked up again she found that he was regarding her with...

With Pizza Time Theaters legitimizing the idea of arcades and hits such as Ms. Pac-Man , Asteroids , Donkey Kong , Tempest , Frogger , and Defender bringing new excitement to gaming, the coin-operated video game business boomed. In 1981 Americans spent 75,000 person-years and $5 billion playing video games at anestimated 4,300 arcades in the United States.

Objectivity was important so that conclusions about a child’s potential for learning would not be influenced by any biases of the examiner. The governmenthoped tha...

Charles Dickens.
The Old Curiosity Shop broke hearts across Britain and North America when it first appeared. Later readers, however, have found it excessively sentimental, especially the pathos surrounding the death of its child-heroine Little Nell. Dickens’s next two works proved less popular with the public. Barnaby Rudge, Dickens’s first historical novel, revolves around anti-Catholic riots that broke out in London in 1780. The events in Martin Chuzzlewit become a vehicle for the novel’s theme: selfishne...

James Dean
gens connaissent des vérités qui ne sont pas bonnes à dire". Son dernier film, "Géant" (1955), retrace l'ascension du cow- boy Jett qui devient un magnat du pétrole. Le 30 septembre 1955, à la fin du tournage, James Dean, connu pour sa passion de la vitesse, se tue au volant de sa Porsche. En trois films seulement, James Dean s'est élevé au niveau du mythe. Sans doute parce qu'il a incarné le mal de vivre d'une génération et a surgi au bon moment pour séduire une jeunesse avide d'idoles. 2

Commentary: Maiden Voyage
as the author says 'stable doors', and the outside of it is really emphasized with the description of this landscape which is also apparently hot as hell since the narrator is claiming that 'the soles of my shoes began to burn and I looked round vainly for some shady place', and accentuates the difference between the two different cultures, the European one et the Chinese one. However, even though this place is described as being dangerous and not really safe, it's still looking peaceful and bea...

Mais le coup fatal porté au western traditionnel vint d'un cinéaste italien lyrique et inspiré, Sergio Leone, qui peignit l'Ouest mythique aux couleurs sales de la poussière, du sang et de la boue, et transforma ses héros sans peur ni reproche en aventuriers hâves et dépenaillés mus par des passions élémentaires : cupidité, sexe ou vengeance ( Il était une fois dans l'Ouest , 1968). Un temps, le western américain crut se régénérer dans les flots de sang d'une violence érigée en spectacle...

To this my mother returned, “Certainly, my dear Jane,” and said no more.

It remained to lull to sleep the dragon that guarded the fleece, and this was done by scattering over him a few drops of a preparation which Medea had supplied. Atthe smell he relaxed his rage, stood for a moment motionless, then shut those great round eyes, that had never been known to shut before, and turned over on his side,fast asleep. Jason seized the fleece and with his friends and Medea accompanying, hastened to their vessel before Æetes the king could arrest their departure, andmade the...

Native American Literature.
Many Native American writers of the 19th century wrote histories of their tribes. One tribal historian was David Cusick (Tuscarora), whose Sketches of Ancient History of the Six Nations (1827) was the first published tribal history. Tribal histories explained the deep ties that tribes had to their ancestral homelands. Beginning in the 18th century, these ties took on special meaning because the United States government began removing Native Americans from their traditional lands. These removal...

INTRODUCTION
Kate Greenaway's May Day
The delicate skill and graceful simplicity of English artist Kate Greenaway's illustrations delighted children and impressed
thinkers, including art critic John Ruskin.
With the development of vernacular literature, particularly after the invention of printing, more children's books appeared. The publications of the first English printer,William Caxton, included the Book of Curtesye (1477), a collection of rhymes that sets forth rules of conduct for a “goodly chylde.” Eight years later Caxton printed Le Morte d'Arthur (1469-1470; The Death of Arthur ) by English translator and compiler Sir Thomas Malory, which became the basis for later treatments of the A...
