B.f. Skinners Walden Two

... as a propagandist is to show us Walden Two through the eyes of various outsiders who possess varying degrees of skepticism and enthusiasm for the community. The reader can identify with one or another of these visitors depending on his own inclinations.

... the bus. It was half filled. Everybody was white. ‘I see we have the bus to ourselves.” This allows the reader to assume that Julian’s mother is prejudice, and was most likely raised in that time era. A good example O’Conner uses to explain Julian is found on page 208.

He was not dominated by his mother.” It is safe t ...

... Another thing that makes an important difference is how each of the poems begin, each one begins with a different situation, as the speaker is also different.

A Man For All Seasons 2

... is told by King Henry VIII to sign the Act of Supremacy. The Act gives Henry VIII full authority over the Catholic Church and thus further distancing England from Rome, since the Pope would no longer be the head of the Church. More has many objections to and reasons for not signing the oath.
