History CASS During the Second World War, Britain’s civilians faced a major number of problems due to the amount of bombs falling continuously night after night during the 8 months of the Blitz in 1940 – 1941. I am going to use three criteria in my assessments of these representations to determine a judgement of which is ‘best’ for describing the reaction of civilians.

has led many scholars to question eco1 nomics’ traditional hostility towards paternalism. After all, if individuals have so many cognitive difficulties then it is surely possible that government intervention can improve welfare.

How does George Eliot present the character of Godfrey Cass in ‘Silas Marner’ in comparison with characters from a range of short stories?
