... human mind and spirit relate to things in life. He doesn’t stray from that commonality in . Koontz’s purpose in writing the book was to show that the power of the mind is yet an unmatched force. Both my mother and I agree that he accomplished this very well. His use of characters also fits a pattern that has developed in his writing.

East Of Eden

... Cathy as being a monster on pages 95 and 96. "I believe there are monsters born in the world...

How Shakespear Creats Humor In

... an abundant source of humor in Shakespeare. The word oxymoron comes from the Greek meaning "pointedly foolish."
