Tomb”, ”The Nameless City”, “The Outsider”, had a baroque, Poe-esque atmosphere, his inspirations were rather obvi-ous (cf. Burleson, 1983, 53). The narrator of those stories is almost always a first-person narrator and also the protagonist of them and the place as well as the origin of fear are mostly “worldly” (e.g. “The Outsider”, (cf. Burleson, 1990, 55-56)), although he also al-ready wrote some stories with horror due to extraterrestrial…
The LGBT culture has become a common culture throughout the United States. With such expression of differences this culture is speaking out in a much more modern style than the past. It is clearer throughout history and throughout the world, that people are having sex with other people of the same gender (Burleson, 2014). Through art, anthropology and documented history has opened closed doors to same sex sexual practices. Although exposed, it’s still quite challenging to understand the full…

The motive of the story is also more direct and complex at the same time compared to e.g. “The Outsider”, the creeping decay of the Gardners (and maybe even the whole world) which is already clear relatively early on creates much more and better tension which is also relieved in a better point of climax, the sudden ´vanishing´. He also uses a more poetic language than earlier on which can be already seen in his use of chiasmus in the narrators comment on seeing…
gay/lesbian just as easily as you may assume a male and female couple is straight. Short of knowing the couple personally, there is no way to know if one or both partners (in either couple) are bisexual. Some of the more intentionals reasons given by Burleson as to why bisexuals are excluded from these communities are: bisexuals can choose to present themselves as gay and avoid the homophobia and exercise “heterosexual privilege”, bisexuals may conflict with the possibility of a gene causing…
Individuals in other cultures express themselves and interpret nonverbal communication as well as feelings and emotions of others differently. Different countries and cultures lean more towards collectivism while other cultures lean towards individualism, "there are important cultural differences in emotional experience and expression as a function of the value system dimension that Hofstede (1980) termed individualism-collectivism" (Burleson, 2003, p. 7).

Jeremy Gaymon United States History Intolerance and Civil Liberties during WWI Civil liberties were guaranteed to us through the Bill of Rights. These freedoms were part of the interconnections of World War I. For example, the first amendment guarantees of the freedom of religion, speech and press without the government interfering. I find the Espionage, Sedition and Enemy acts to be three of the most important pieces of history during this time. What these laws achieved were doing away with a…
would allow. The stated goal was not to duplicate a realistic anchorage, but to measure damage as a function of distance from the blast center, at as many different distances as possible. The arrangement also reflected the outcome of the Army/Navy disagreement about how many ships should be allowed to sink. The target fleet included four obsolete U.S. battleships, two aircraft carriers, two cruisers, eleven destroyers, eight submarines, numerous auxiliary and amphibious vessels, and three…
encourages them too have, “overly obsessive infatuations with their victims” (Sheridan & Davies, 2001). They also tend to use stalking as their means of harassment and violence. In regards to the aforementioned three categories of stalkers the first is the erotomnaic stalker. Stephen Andert notes in his book, Web Stalkers: Protect Yourself from Internet Criminals & Psychopaths, these stalkers “believe that their targeted victim is in love with them and relentlessly pursue the false notion that…
