the Blefuscudians. Their conflict over which end of the egg to break reflects the centuriesold conflict over how to practice religionas Protestants or Catholics. While the wars over religion certainly were very serious, Swift suggests that what was being fought over (at least on the religious rather than the political side) really was not very important. In Swift's eyes, fighting over religion is as pointless as fighting over which end of an egg to break. Swift also parodies the political parties within England. The Tory party is represented by the Low Heels while the Whigs are represented by the High Heels. Considering that Swift himself changed parties, he must have understood that political allegiance was important. Yet, political bickering is often about such unimportant matters as the height of one's heels. It is interesting to note that even though lying is seen as a terrible offense in Lilliput, Flimnap tells a

His paintings produce the effect of confusion of sights, sounds, debris and movements. His work bridges the gap between Action Painting and Pop Art. Roy Lichtenstein (late-C20). He drew inspiration from comic books and newspaper comic strips. He essentially cast a magnifying glass over the symbols of mass culture and enlarged them. He later made parodies of all the chief Modernist art styles. Andy Warhol (late-C20). He presented repeated images of car crashes, singers, movie stars, soup cans, Coca- Cola bottles and dollar bills. Some different views should reveal various aspects of the person's character. His works display a delight in the surprise and shock of nonart but he is still rooted in the mechanized, standardized and mass- produced culture. He emphasized the mass-consumer society in which everyone uses the same products

His position with the Mint afforded him much time to pursue his writing as a freelancer. He was a staunch proUnion supporter of Abraham Lincoln and was allowed the freedom of expression he believed in so heartily, though a number of social blunders later on would cost him dearly. Harte expanded his literary scope with many items published in the The Californian, a slightly more sophisticated journal featuring serials, illustrations, poetry, political essays, satire, and parodies of other author's works. Much of his work was based on life in the Californian mining camps, though he also wrote many sardonic items such as "Neighborhoods I Have Moved From; by a Hypochondriac". He also tried his hand at book reviews, plays, and literary criticism. The Lost Galleon and Other Tales (1867) was one of his first major works. The same year he became editor of the literary
people assumed that Siamese cats had always had a long body, wedge-shaped head and disproportionately large ears. Siamese cats had become extreme parodies of the original imports. In Australia, some Siamese appear even more extreme than their American cousins - with larger ears and even more fragile bodies. In Britain they have also become more extreme - and ugly - in
