[ send me this essay ]

Joseph Heller’s “Good as Gold” in Relation to Business and Political and Historical Issues
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing business, political, historical and cultural aspects of Joseph Heller’s novel “Good as Gold”. American writer Joseph Heller (1923-1999) is probably best known for his anti-war novel “Catch-22” written in 1961. Born of poor Jewish parents however, Heller often reflected on his cultural heritage and its place in modern American society especially in the novel “Good as Gold” written in 1979. The protagonist, English professor Bruce Gold “tries to regain the Jewishness he has lost” throughout his involvement with presidential public relations (Books, 2000). Heller, through the use of puns and verbal games which are considered suitable for the Washington environment, manages to incorporate not only an interesting storyline for Gold but also interesting and significant business, historical and cultural references for his readers. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Josephine Tey's "The Daughter Of Time" And Desmond Seward's "Richard Iii: England's Black Legend"
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Richard III has enjoyed a long, illustrious reincarnation throughout the last several centuries; while some believe he was an unscrupulous power monger who brought nothing but fear and treachery to England, others contend that his legacy has been much maligned by faulty accounts and historical alterations. Josephine Tey is one such author whose treatment of Richard III is more than kind; with the help of her protagonist detective Alan Grant, Tey works literary magic in The Daughter of Time to illustrate her perception of a man whose character she defends. Desmond Seward, on the other hand, takes a more pragmatic approach to uncovering the truth of Richard's legacy in Richard III: England's Black Legend, contending that his murderous ways placed a significantly black mark upon this period of English history. Was Richard III good or evil, or perhaps a bit of both? This is what the reader is left to determine after reading the two completely diverse accounts. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
