The cane toad is very large, reaching an average length of 10–15 cm, with a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years in the wild (Tyler and Knight, 2011).

Cane Toads Response The intended impacts of the cane toad were to remove beetles and cane grubs from farmers sugarcane crops. In the 1930's sugar was one of Australia's major exports.

Mayans The Mayans believe that Mother Earth was a gigantic monster. It was an alligator, toad, and a turtle combined. Above her was a sky with a layer for each planet and spheres of movement for the sun and the moon. Below her was the underworld where heavenly bodies passed when out of sight. All around her were the spirits of rain and thunder. The deities of the food plants and animals attended her. All nature was alive and it was constantly dying and being reborn (Burland 1771).

Jean Toomer’s Cane elucidates the complicated racial plight of early twentieth century America. His assumably conscientious attempt to consider a social panacea is belied only by the appearance that the entire work fails to provide any direct solution to the modern experience. There exists, however, a referential significance that realigns his project with messages of Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio, an earlier work from the modernist canon.

reflected in his personality and physical qualities such as his way of dress. Jean enters the first scene, “fastidiously dressed in a brown suit, red tie, stiff collar and a brown hat…his shoes are yellow and well polished. He wears gloves and carries a cane” (6). Jean, in this case, is a typical example of today’s society and how people care too much about his/her appearance.

Alongside a broad spectrum of entertainment, creativity, and exquisite craftsmanship, William Shakespeare’s works exhibit more than an ideal playwright’s masterpieces; they unearth political, social, and even religious agendas. While writing in seventeenth century England, Shakespeare undoubtedly had the church on his mind during many of his writing endeavors. King Lear permits no exceptions. Though it has often been fractured and split into many different realms in order to fit the lenses through
