Evaluation 2
This document compares the proposed spy character Zack to existing spy characters from films and novels. Zack is a rebellious young spy who becomes an agent at a young age after his parents are killed, and seeks revenge. He is similar to Alex Rider in becoming an agent young and having lost his parents, and shares traits of arrogance and combat skill with Rider and James Bond. Both Zack and Jason Bourne focus on revenge and discovering truths about their pasts, and dress casually rather than in suits like Bond. Zack would not exist without the more relatable and casual spy character of Jason Bourne.

Tom Jones was written in the mid-18th century and captures the spirit of the age through its central character Tom, an attractively unbridled young man who pursues true love through contemporary Britain in a series of scandalous adventures. The novel was highly original in breaking from Richardson's epistolary technique to compose the narrative in the third person. It was an instant hit, selling over 10,000 copies at a time when London's population was only around 700,000. Fielding was inspired to write for the growing mass audience and new genre of the novel, aiming to provide "a mental entertainment" where "all persons are welcome for their money."
Tom jones
Henry Fielding's novel Tom Jones reflects 18th century English society. It depicts the lives of the middle class, exposing both their virtues and corruption. While the characters and stories are drawn from everyday life rather than mythology or history, Fielding provides social satire and commentary on class structure. As a foundling raised by a wealthy landowner but of low birth, Tom Jones faces opposition in his love for the daughter of a neighbor due to his status, mirroring social issues of the time. The novel offers a realistic portrayal of 18th century urban life, touching on themes of morality, religion, and class.
Relation between Tom and Sophia

They face many struggles as Sophia's father does not approve of the match and she is almost forced to marry Blifil, who wishes to marry her for her money. However, by the end of the novel Tom and Sophia are reunited in their love and marry one another.
Continuity and discontinuity in traditional african narrative ethics
This document summarizes a paper that discusses continuity and discontinuity in traditional African narratives. It argues that there are two parallel narratives about Africa: a traditional self-reflexive narrative and a conventional narrative imposed by colonialists. The conventional narrative, which was based on ideas of racial superiority, led to the loss of cultural memory among many African peoples as it replaced the traditional narrative. This discontinuity of the traditional African narrative has had significant ethical implications in West Africa. The paper examines how narrative ethics connects identity and morality, and suggests that understanding the nature of the discontinuity in West African narratives can help explain some ethical challenges in the region.

While Tom Jones is not a perfect picture of morality, characters like him and Sophia admire qualities like bravery, wit, humanity, and gentleness over being born into nobility. Through irony, Fielding aims to teach a moral lesson about the difference between nobility of heart versus nobility of birth.

Coleridge's view on poetry
Coleridge viewed poetry as a mental process of the poet's mind that involves imagination and the modification of images, thoughts, and emotions. For Coleridge, poetry is a wider category than just poems in meter and can exist without the distinguishing form of a poem. True poetry results from the poetic genius through a mental process that connects ideas with images, the general with the concrete, and brings a sense of novelty to familiar objects through secondary imagination and a balance of emotion and order.
