The Turnip Snedder, in true Heaney fashion, is based on an agrarian structure on the surface. Heaney’s fondness for the fusion of the earthy and ethereal is shaped delicately yet again in this piece of his work. Being the poem that serves to launch the rush of conflicting ideas that Heaney presents in District and Circle, the Turnip Snedder has its roots in the photograph that’s reproduced on its book jacket. The photograph found by the Irish painter Hughie O’ Donoghue, contains the image of a

Synthesis that brings together Stevenson & Conrad– using one thematic idea. The semester has finally come to a close and it is time for our final paper. After Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” we started to dwell in the works of Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad. Each of these outstanding authors brings stories that are very similar in plot and surroundings but are very different in character development.

When I received a copy of James S. Valliant’s book, The Passion of Ayn Rand’s Critics: The Case Against the Brandens, I was a little apprehensive about reviewing it. It seems that every time a discussion commences about the “juicy” bits of Ayn Rand’s sexual and romantic entanglements, it takes on a life of its own, and the discussion never seems to end.
