Aesthetics of Invisible Man
Aesthetics of Invisible Man Ralph Ellison painstakingly crafted a separate world in Invisible Man , a novel that succeeds because it is an intricate aesthetic creation -- humane, compassionate, and yet gloriously devoid of a moral.

A cool autumn evening breeze brushed by me and the chilliness numbed my nose and stirred the brightly painted leaves on the ground before me as I watched distantly. Jake lay timidly cuddled upon his tattered bedraggled street bench; the pale brown upholstery ripped and exuberantly worn down by those who had sojourned there before him. He wrapped himself tightly in his once green army jacket, now faded to a light grey, covering an untucked,

An Analysis of the Origins of the Sino-Soviet Split and Its Influence on International Relations in the East and South East Asian Region
A key factor to keep in mind when examining the Sino-Soviet dispute and its impact on foreign relations in South East Asia is that the region is characterised by shifting and fluid interactions and security arrangements (Yahuda, 1996: 9). This means coalitions can change, former enemies can become future allies and conflict is not easily defined. The Sino-Soviet alliance, based on a mutual belief in the ideology of Marxism-Leninism, degenerated over a period of more
