Upon returning to the U.S., Howells wrote for various magazines, including Atlantic Monthly and Harper's Magazine. From 1866, he became an assistant editor for the Atlantic Monthly and was made editor in 1871, remaining in the position until 1881.

British Pigs in Powdered Wigs The disorganized and disconnected British rule on the thirteen American colonies created situations that led to the Revolutionary War. Through unwarranted taxes, unwanted wars, and an overall mismanagement of the colonies lead the colonies to view Britain as an incompetent government. These complicated times brought thoughts of a revolution which was critically evaluated by leaders in the colonies.

In what ways have conflicting perspectives on events, personalities or situations been represented in the prescribed text and another related text?

FUTILITY was one of them. It appeared, together with HOSPITAL BARGE, in "The Nation" on 15th June 1918, shortly after being written - at Ripon probably - although Scarborough is a possibility. At about this time Owen categorised his poems, FUTILITY coming under the heading "Grief". It takes the form of a short elegiac lyric the length of a sonnet though not structured as one, being divided into seven-line stanzas. Owen uses the sun as a metaphorical framework on which to hang his thoughts.
I have chosen “Sonnet 18” by William Shakespeare from the Bedford text. This sonnet first line begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”(A Portable Anthology, 2009, p.465) it is written in the classic style English or Shakespearean sonnet. The sonnet form used by Shakespeare, composed of three quatrains and a terminal couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab,cdcd, efef, gg(answers.com, 2010). This sonnet 18 is a part of 154 sonnets the first 126 were wrote by Shakespeare to address a young man full of great beauty and promise. This developed many questions on Shakespeare’s sexuality whether his love for this young man was friendly or sexual.
A poet’s ability is not best judged on paper, but their skill in evoking emotion and encouraging contemplation within the reader. This being said, there are many ways to construe a text and with poems such as ‘Fire and Ice’ and ‘Choose Something Like a Star’, the true meaning of the poem does not just lie within the words but is influenced by the reader’s context. Frost’s poetry is quite nonspecific and in that way rids the poem of his own personal baggage, its rather bare and the excellence of his words and phrases can only be appreciated once the reader’s own perspective has been cast upon it, layering it with their own meaning. Frost’s poems consist of understandable language that captures the thoughts of people who have a varied knowledge in literature, making him a feasible poetry study and one that I’m sure your students will come to love. A point of view in which ‘Fire and Ice’ can be interpreted as is completely literally.
