Lord of Order Brett Riley 2021 ISBN: 9781945501425 (hardback) IMBRIFEX Books 437 pages "Wow, what a concept!" Brett Riley has written a novel entitled 'Lord of Order' that is to me a cross between thriller and horror along with science fiction. This is the story of what would happen if New Orleans were a prison city. 'Lord of Order' is a futurist novel that keeps things and ideas of the past. There are two to three groups in this story (Crusaders, Troublers, Conspirators). It is also a book of having faith in yourself and your ideals. The main characters of Gabriel, Hobbes, and Baudreaux, who are Crusaders/ Chief Troubler- Stransky who have a lot in common, but will need to work through their differences in themselves and New Orleans.

Poetic Intimacy
While the time span of 1960-1990 saw vast historical and cultural changes against the backdrop of women seeking equality, there is one word that can be used to describe the difference in female poetry written throughout these decades. Intimacy is the key definer of these generations. I feel that there are four poems that can specifically show how intimacy defines poetry during these eras, with a difference in intimacy through experience and definition found in each poetic generation.

American Literature
American Literature Genre Herman Northrop Frye was a controversial literature writer who was not understood for decades as an archetypal school of literary criticism member. He wrote his magisterial work Anatomy of criticism: Four Essays proceeding on the hypothesis that criticism is a structure of beliefs and knowledge in its own right. The four brilliant essays on ethical, historical, rhetorical, and archetypical criticism employ examples of global literature from times stints to the contemporary time. When comparing different book written by different authors, for example, the book Kindred by Octavia Butler and The Spook Who Sat by the Door by Sam Greenlee it is possible to understand how different genres were used to communicate unique messages during different periods of time.

Why A Beach Chase is the Perfect Back-to-School Gift
One of the clearest memories I have from preschool was kneeling on the floor, the gray carpet creating indents in my knees. A jack-in-the-box sat on the floor in front of me. I'd seen the toy in some of my favorite cartoons and had never played with one before. I turned the handle slowly, careful not to distort the song.

The Motif of Comparing Characters to Animals to show the impact of generational racial trauma in “Beloved” by Toni Morrison
In nature, it is survival of the fittest. Only the strongest beasts will make it out alive, and the most vulnerable will die in the wild. Humans are believed to be better than animals; they have self restraint and control over their choices and fates. Therefore, when people are compared to and treated as nothing more than animals, it strips away their humanity and disregards their inherent worth. In the novel Beloved, Toni Morrison includes the motif of comparing the characters to animals to show how being dehumanized consistently can alter one’s core beliefs and their actions, and how dehumanizing people can cause them severe emotional trauma.
