On the whole, imperialism was a popular policy, although its popularity was not consistent throughout this period.

Charles Dickens was known as a social reformist and so particularly wrote novels about social class. Dickens wrote ‘Great Expectations’ to draw attention to the issue of how different the lives were of the rich and the poor. This had never been done before, so it engages the reader.

Mark Twain and Huckleberry Finn After reading Huck Finn I have gained so much respect for Mark Twain and what he did for books all over the world. The thing I enjoy most about this book is the subtle humor that is interlaced with the satire. Twain uses generous amounts of satire of the white man’s cruelty to black people, of religious hypocrisy, of Romanticism, and of superstition both to amuse the reader and, more importantly, to make the reader aware of the social problems which Twain saw at the time of his youth. The era and setting in which The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn takes place is fundamental to the story but the character’s identities themselves could be placed in just about any modern novel or story. I think some of the books most obvious forms of satire result from dehumanizing black people.

These topical matters which Yolen has used are the holocaust, and the fairy-tale sleeping beauty or less commonly known as briar rose. Both these subject matters are well known in society and have had huge impacts on history. Being such well known subject matters instantly engages the audience as they are able to apply their knowledge and to make cross-links between the two subject matters. Intertextuality of any text will be intriguing and engaging as the audience is able to compare and to know the basic outline of what is to come, this could be considered dramatic irony. The symbolism of the holocaust is engaging as fairy-tales are always considered to have a happy ending but using such a dark topical matter which seems to have no happy outcomes is able to surprise the audience and to keep them reading as the audience is waiting to see the “Happily ever after” (pg.
"Though murderers were often executed, the majority of lesser medieval offenses were punished by shaming the criminal publicly, according to Carrel. Fastening the offender into stocks wasn't considered barbaric, she said, and was seen as a much better alternative to spending the time in jail. Criminal charity Even medieval jail wasn't a closed-off affair. Prisoners were often let out to beg and could make money behind bars as long as they shared their take with the jailers. "Charity towards criminals was much more acceptable and much more common in the Middle Ages.
Deadwood Dick’s Doom During the 19th century dime novels became a huge market for entertainment. In the past reading was really only an option for the rich educated (white) elite, as the only books readily available were classical literature and the Bible. As technology advanced people were able to print and ship many more books at a much more affordable cost, so people started writing for the masses. These books were solely meant for entertainment value and really looked a lot like out modern day Soap Operas. Lots of action happened within the pages of these novels and there were a multitude of subplots that kept the readers avidly turning the pages.
“Tartuffe reminds me of a grown up version of a Dr. Seuss book.” says Casey McCall, who plays Mariane, “It really is a great Show, and I think that people will enjoy it a lot.” The audience is in for quite the surprise when they see this show. They’ll be shocked to see how many parallels there are in modern life to a play that was written centuries ago. Every audience member will be able to connect to a character, whether they’re the religious hypocrite, the person who speaks out of place to fight for what’s right, or the young boy having their love seduced by another man who we all know
The “CSI Effect” can be observed when watching television shows such as CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Bones, etc. These shows give the audience what we think is education about Forensic Science but also adds some drama and sexiness to it.

After you have watched CSI, you tend to think Forensic Science is easy and could possibly be a fun career.
