David Burn's Feeling Good: Depression
Number of words: 2565 - Number of pages: 10.... the
years 1980 to 1990.
In my opinion David Burns brings up a valid issue in addressing the
pertinence of depression as it pertains to peoples tendencies of committing a

reader gets after reading the introductory paragraph of the Feeling Good book is

Lord Of The Flies: Golding Reduces The Power Of His Message
Number of words: 401 - Number of pages: 2.... against the boys - the way in
which he is caught in the trees just in the right position to be caught by
the wind and look like the beast and the way the wind picks up after Simon

fear - he can kill the .....

His was a sinner against his wife, a sinner against his community, a sinner against his own morals, and a sinner against his Puritanical society.
