in hotel. For two days he wanders in New York and meets different people. Everything is described through Holden's perspective. Holden had quite complex character. He sometimes acts like a 13-year-old but in the same time he can be quite reasonable. Holden´s mood swings and trastic changes of feelings could even could mean that he had somekind of bipolar disorder. He could literally hate a person in one second and love in the next. He criticises others alot for being phony. Only persone he really seemed to be fond of was his little sister Phoebe. The book has a slightly depressing undertone because Holdens thougts about the situation he was in and his surroundings were often very gloomy. The lousy hotel where he stayed was probably the gloomiest part of the book. The author uses slang and repeats often same words which is essentially quite similar to something that a teenager would do
At first, each pilgrim was to tell two stories on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back; the innkeeper would give a good meal and a night at the inn to the best storyteller. Altogether 144 stories, GC only managed to write 24 before his death. It is studied as a faithful reflection of 14th century life in England. GC was amused by his own characters and rarely criticises them sharply; shows a very deep understanding of human motivation. His comments reveal his profound understanding of the social problem of his day. o The Prologue paints the setting of the story. Introduces each character (30). GC himself functions as the narrator. He tries to be objective and tries to keep a distance from the characters. The descriptions are very vivid and economic.
He together with changed arkadii is capable to enjoy and lead a life fulfilment, unlike others. While Nikolai is a man of the forties, Pavel is seemingly more a man of the 30s - similar to Pechorins (Woodward 1996:30) Pavels views ar shown to bwelong to `narrow class boundaries' (Dunaev 1883:199) Pavel is heavily satirised- anglomania, use of french, style. The figure of the true aristocrat is represented by Pavel. In Chapter X Bazarov criticises Pavels manner of speech-- , , , , -- , -- , ... ! . As noted by Woodward (1996:62) as "abstractions without meaning for the mass of the people with which the gentry, he contents, contrieve to justify their indolence". Bilay (56-57) coments that Nikolais XI chapter tender heart shows that he has "had his day". Vassiili sayd " I love to medidate n this spot as I watch sunset" Pavel believes that a true Russian believes in the peasantry in terms of faith.
The number of Representatives depends on the population of each state. A Representative must be at least 25 years age, a US citizen for 7 years and live in the state from which he is elected. Democrats sit on the Speakers right, republicans - on his left. The Speaker presides over the House and conducts debates. The Speaker, like Vice-president, may vote. Most of the Congressmen are layers, businessman and bankers. The American press as an unrepresentative institution sometimes criticises the US Congress. The Congress in work. A new Congress session begins on the 3rd of January each odd number year and continues for two years. A Congressman must work long and hard. But most of their work is done in committee meetings. Here bills are studied, experts are consulted, and recommendations are made to the whole House of Senate. During a two year term of a Congress, as many as 20000 bills are introduced. There are 16 'standing' or permanent committees in the Senate, and 22 in the House
reluctance to the term. In his posting to the Linguist List, for instance, Battarbee (1996) talks of "... regional arrogance of the SouthEast within the UK: it takes for granted that 'Estuary' means the Thames Estuary. There are many estuaries in Great Britain, and several of the emerging regional mega-accents are estuarially based". Other linguists have criticised the term because it suggests that the variety is restricted to the area of the Thames estuary. Trudgill (2001) severely criticises both the concept of EE and its name, among others because "it suggests that it is a variety of English confined to the banks of the Thames Estuary, which it is not". Also Maidment (1994) expresses his negative attitude to the term: "... Estuary English, if it exists at all, is not only spoken on or near the Thames estuary. There is no real evidence that it even originated there. ... the accent of younger speakers in Milton Keynes which is a new

The highly logical structure of his works and a desire to create an emotional effect. His stories are very logical, yet emotional (crash) 3. Sympathy with the individual but contempt for the mob 4. The motifs of decay, death and destruction present a sharp contrast to the general optimistic spirit of American national life but they are in keeping with the decadent atmosphere of Virginia. Poe was hurt by American reality. Money worship and hostility towards the art and culture. Criticises the dull routine of the American philistine (an ordinary person who doesn't care about anything intellectual, cultural). Poe's heroes try to escape their inhuman surroundings. His contempt for business civilization that drives into the world of pure art. He was the first one to do that. Art itself can become a way of life. Aspects of his thought that can be deduced from his work: 1. Scientific rationalism essay called "Eureka"(I have found, discovered)
