... it in different ways. The initial split happened around 1790 when the first bank of the United States was given a twenty-two year charter.

or relief which he must earn. In 'Kubla Khan', Coleridge expresses man's
social instinct to conform and belong to a group. This also relates to the
creation of rituals and rules by the human-being and the obeying of the
cycle of life to death, again and again. The running theme of freedom and
release for man is emphasised in both poems, escaping from criticism, in
the case of KK, and from blame and regret, in RAM. They both explore the
tendency to be impulsive for reasons accumulated through the traits of

... went on to graduate from high school. It is almost a given that I go to college because females do not want to marry someone without money (comma) and you need an education to receive a good-paying job.

In an attempt to refute Achebe's proposed difference between the two wom ...
