While Islam venerates the Virgin (indeed, the Koran is very high in its praise), it is this author's opinion that the rest of the Koran's attitudes toward women is so negative that it very much outweighs this. Ahmed needs to examine to what extent Mohammed "missed the boat" (so to speak) with regard to his treatment of women and whether or not this reflects a difference between the Mecca and Medina strains of the Islamic Sharia. The Sharia tends to follow the later Medina sayings and these are much more radically conservative ("Living Islam"). It is this creeping conservatism that is not really explained by Ahmed, as we can see in Islamic fundamentalist circles today. While things were not as radical in 1992 when she wrote the book, it is disappointing that she does not explore that more. It is obvious to this author that the disconnect on many issues caused by the differences between the Mecca and the Medina is also playing itself out in this area as well.
To recap, the introduction lays...
Tone and Voice Life can be very difficult and unexpected things can happen which change a person and their family forever. Works of literature have the ability to transform the perspective of the reader and to inform the reader about some of the least pleasant aspects of life.

Then the poet uses the cultivated Latin of the title, which he presumably learned in school to truly cut deep into the reader's false sensibility of war: "My friend, you would not tell with such high zest / to children ardent for some desperate glory, / the old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est / Pro patria mori." The final lines of the poem are ironic, but not just because of
tone of the memo is too casual. Instead of setting up the memo with empty, 'filler' comments such as the fact that the poster found the topic fascinating, she should 'get right to the point' about what she believes she learned about workplace violence. She also restates information that the reader already knows, such as the fact that she was the 'rep' for the company at the event. The memo
This was an opportunity not just to become famous, but also to acquire a certain reputation. People probably looked forward to acknowledge what had been going on, through his writing the author non-only satisfied a curiosity, but created an image for himself. The text was produced in which written evidence of this kind was considered not only to tell history, but to actually create it. Hence, the importance of
