He had to get the information from the citizens themselves. The sources were very appropriate to the main theme that the author was trying to put across following the fact that he wanted to explore the politics of prohibition and the consequences that followed. However he also employed secondary works like the constitution review in explaining the amendments made to the constitution that prohibited any intoxicating liquor in United States. He collected this information from the ordinary American citizens to gauge their perception concerning prohibition that was effected following the eighteenth amendment to the constitution. The author relied on the primary sources to obtain first hand information concerning this scenario. He explores the reaction of the ordinary citizens where he asks and provides answers to this social experiment that seems not to be successful due to the outcomes witnessed like rise in gangster era. The author is generally trying to put across the changes that took place after the prohibition was effected both in terms of culture and way of life. He breaks down on the politics involved in this prohibition in the year 1919 till the enactment of the prohibition in the year that followed.

How do you contain something you can't record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you're at war? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you tried: complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn't share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it. When one of Stark's closest friends is poisoned with the black liquid, Stark and Candy have to go to the only place where they might find a cure: Hell.

Not because I'm outraged on behalf of Poe, but because with a story that pairs him and a young boy with a mystery that needs solving, it would have been nice if they made a good team, instead of consistently suspicious and angry at each other. I'm not sure how I feel about that actually. It sounds true to the idea of Poe, but it also makes the character unlikable in the story. Edgar Allan Poe is a character in the story - and the story spins him into a character with many flaws as an alcoholic and a man consumed by his art and his imagination. The character development is light, it's mostly about the plot and the mystery. They were usually simple, absorbing and suspenseful stories and this book fit that bill completely. I read this more for the nostalgia of reading a book like the ones I read in my youth. A stranger who needs Edmund for purposes of his own! Except for a stranger of the night.A dark, mysterious stranger who flees from demons of his own.who follows Edmund with grim determination through the cold and shadow city, promising to help, but often hindering.

After all, Oliver Sacks is the author of Awakenings, a story about a group of victims of encephalitis lethargic who were engaged in a comatose state for decades until a new doctor at their hospital discovered a cure. Before you even open this book to the first page, you can’t help but to expect something profound. |
