the same subject, the subject’s approach is totally different: while Wordsworth shows the appearances and gives a positive view of London, Blake shows the hard reality and gives a very negative view. Blake’s “London” is part of a collection of poems named “Songs of Innocence and of Experience” and published in 1794. Blake aimed to show the “Two Contrary of the Human Soul”. It is divided in two parts: “The Songs of Innocence” is positive and celebrates love, childhood and nature. On the other hand

In this very passage, the narrator talks about his life. Yet, he starts doing it, by baiting the reader. That’s why he uses a mysterious air right from the beginning (repeated use of “I”). He does not give any details such as name, age or sex until the second page. But, little by little, he goes on feeding pieces of information to help us understand that the story revolves around the trite aspect of his life, in other words around the life of an ordinary man among ordinary people. Then, he goes on

7 Fight Club and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest describe a state in which present day society has left us. This does not actually occur within the novels but is instead realized as something that has taken place gradually and imposed itself on our generation. Kesey's novel focuses primarily on the Combine as social pressures that result in the loss of one's manhood. Fight Club, being a more recent work, puts its main emphasis on a combination of corporate life and advertising. Agree or disagree

Nothing in Malle's filmography, or in the French New Wave in general, could prep you for the departure that Zazie dans le Metro (1960) represents – it's like a film from Mars, a very *French* Mars. It bears no discernible relation to his previous two features (nor the pioneering documentary made with and about Jacques Cousteau in 1956, The Silent World), and amid the Wave's DIY burst of indie creativity it seems ludicrously out of place.

"This move recognizes that responsible sexual behavior and the use of condoms have important roles in HIV prevention," UNAIDS executive director Michel Sidibe said in a statement.
