Article Review:“The Impact of Economic and Parental Characteristics on Juvenile Misconduct”, was written by JANE E. PROCHNOW AND JAMES V. DEFRONZO. Introduction The following article shows a review of the impact of economic and parental characteristics on juvenile misconduct. Although there are valid points in the article, it encompasses misinterpretation bias and data from other authors analysis on the cause of juvenile misconduct. Statement of the problem Despite several years of civilization, juvenile cases remain a major global challenge to parents and the government. Notably, the juvenile has been overrepresented in almost all primary forms of traditional misconducts such as property offences as well as violence.

“GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK” CHARACTER ANALYSIS We read stories with the aim of learning about life, the world surrounding us and the way people react to different circumstances and experiences in life. Characters help us realize how people might react to different situations. In cases where we find ourselves relating to characters in the story, then that makes it more meaningful. And in so doing, people are left in better positions for life circumstances which may face them. In case we find ourselves not relating to the characters, it is also helpful because we get to understand that it is not all situations which require a response. Characters are significant in stories because they govern the whole story. Different types of characters involved in a tale build distinct kinds of conflicts, tensions, and resolutions. For instance, a story touching on a prostitute starting a new life by deciding to join college probably will have different types of anxiety, conflicts, and resolutions from a story on a truck driver trying to make amendments for a case which involves him killing…

Similarly, William Wordsworth’s famed sonnet titled ‘The World is too Much with Us’, also points to some distinct and serious aspects of mutability in human society. This essay analyses the two poems from the perspective of transience with the intention of establishing its level of inevitability in human existence relative to reality. TRANSIENCE IN ANNABEL LEE AND THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH US Renowned writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe wrote Annabel Lee to narrate the experiences and love of the narrator for his wife.
