Indeed, "overeducated" college graduates – particularly ones completing an undergraduate or a higher degree in software engineering or digital media majors – are experiencing particularly painful job experiences, particularly during early ...

The issue of where and how to process the growing number of asylum seekers that arrive at the border has become a significant matter in terms of 2013 Australian federal elections campaign.

Serial Murder

There is multiple definition of serial murder in the last thirty years, in the literature. These definitions share many things, but they differ on few issues. This is because they differ on the motivation of committing the murder, number of causalities, and the nature of the murder. However, attempts have been made to differentiate a serial killer from other murder, such as, spree murder, mass murder among others. As a result, the most acceptable definition of serial murder is the unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate occasions. Therefore, a serial murder is a person that ...

The setting of the novel, for the most part, remains the caves wherein the group of human survivors attempt to keep on living, all the while attempting to figure out what to do about Wanda. The caves provide a nice, claustrophobic setting that help bring out the themes of redemption and paranoia that run throughout the book. All of the characters are trapped in their own caves - Melanie is trapped inside her own body, as is Wanda; the human characters are trapped into a hard life that none of them asked for, and so on. The claustrophobia helps to bring ...

1) Some additional settings to this novel are presented in chapters 14-20. First, there is the cavern where the human underground lives; it is musty, dirty and makeshift; everything is improvised, with people seemingly keeping on the move and attempting to remain productive and on their guard. Meyer's description of the cave manages to sell just how desperate the human resistance is, as they are forced to live in terrible conditions just to stay alive. The claustrophobia of the caves adds to both Wanderers' and the human characters' paranoia.

Next, several chapters in this section take place in ...
