been explored in passing as Holden as the fallen idol . Another critic observed that through his perspective, the “fall” in the story, could be salvation without intervention . On second glance, Holden Caulfield’s narrative also exemplifies Feliz Culpa, the fortunate fall.

This religious philosophy believes that evil must occur to bring about the greatest good, that of redemption. The
"Ok, so let me see if I've got this straight." I was on the phone with my friend Bob. I've known Bob for years. He's a former Navy guy who now does electrician work at Disneyworld. He's seriously bright, but doesn't know squat about computers. And he was trying, once again, to figure out what the heck I was doing with my life. "You're starting another Notes publication?" He stretched out the word "another" so it seemed that he was entirely incredulous of my actions. "Well, yeah," I responded with

Grigori Rasputin was born in 1869 or 1872, a fact disputed among historians; and he grew up a peasant in a family in Siberia, Russia. He and his brother both fell in a river and almost drowned but were pulled out by a passerby, and his brother died of pneumonia due to the incident. This detail perhaps foreshadows his death, which coincidentally was a death from drowning. Not much else is known about his childhood, but there is one story telling of his supernatural power. He apparently was able to
Between 1920 and 1930, the American Prohibition Era began and ended in a whirl of justice, scandal, crime, and punishment. Whether it is the oppositional nature of people that drives them to do what they are told not to, or whether Americans of the day and age simply enjoyed their alcohol a bit too much, anyone can say. Whatever the cause, the Prohibition Era and the time periods surrounding it became the centerpiece in a story of incredibly extravagant law enforcement, dangerous businessmen, shady

human perception and knowledge. Machen’s use of this divine entity and his success in rediscovering a minor figure of the classical pantheon, yet “mostly neglected by earlier authors of English literature” (Pasi 69), provide what Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari argue to be the significant value of a minor author, “…by using a number of minority elements, by connecting, conjugating them, one invents a specific, unforeseen, autonomous becoming” (106). “The Great God Pan” uses a detective plot and English

Herbert Croly At the turn of the 20th century, Herbert Croly – as far as the accelerating world was concerned – was a man without a name.

All throughout history civil liberties have been established, fought for, and abused. During the first quarter of the twentieth century, the civil liberties in the United States of America were tested.
