like wildfire. As soon as my parents heard about what happened in Germany they knew it would not be long until it erupted into a war.

After about 30 minutes of people bustling around and gathering children, I was left with 11 other children
A few days before Christmas, Oxford street is swarming with last minute shoppers, laden with parcels and bags. Christmas is the highlight for many people, especially little childen, from as tall as your ankle to as tall as your knee. Small todlers were moaning and disappearing into the clothes racks like magicians disappearing in a puff of smoke entertaining the gullible audiences. Families and friends gradually emerge from clogged buses and congested trains, tired, exhausted and hungry

upholds the test of time, “otherness” as portrayed in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights expands itself beyond the inflicted outcasting of title character Heathcliff to include an examination of “otherness” in both love and creation. Found on the streets of Liverpool and brought back to live at Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff’s outsider status is determined before it begins. The slurs that society deems fit to label him with are not deserved through Heathcliff’s character, but that of preconceived
