Cleary has been known to say that she wrote her books to simply entertain her readers; she wasn't trying to teach anyone a lesson. Cleary's books are easy for children to relate to because they often deal with realistic, everyday situations that children come across during the course of their own lives. Her books cover topics such as new siblings, moving, friendships, etc. Cleary's books have universal appeal and are still captivating readers more than sixty years after the first book was published.

The Office was a trigger for the creation of popular situation comedies. Where more classical sitcoms are based on laughter-tracks, catchphrases and clownish behaviour, The Office derived comedy from the observation of modern life. It found humour in the mannerisms, the longing silences and embarrassment that are faced by modern British society and rewrote the rules on what popular television comedy should be.

The goal of archaeology is to shed light on long-term human prehistory, history, behaviour and cultural evolution. It is the only discipline which possesses the method and theory for the collection and interpretation of information about the pre-written human past, and can also make a critical contribution to our understanding of documented societies.

Many elements of involuntary body language can easily be understood, and tested, simply by knowing about them. For example, the tendency for people to raise their eyebrows as one approaches them face-to-face is usually indicative of esteem. If you walk down the street and encounter someone you do not know then the chances are that neither of you will raise your eyebrows. If you recognize each other, however, even if you do not greet each other, then eyebrows will likely raise and lower.

It is important to note that weather is not the same as climate. Weather is the state of conditions at a certain point in time, as opposed to climate which covers a longer period of time. The different parts of the weather include: temperature, pressure, precipitation and humidity.

No!!! That’s precisely my point. God doesn’t discuss things over lunch. What does it take to get through to you. I am the creator of the universe. A true religious figurehead, not just the guy next door. I’ve been commercialized against my will. My image of thousands of years… shot to hell!

Is it the lobster? The newspaper? Can’t you accept them in the same way? As simple favours I do for you because I love you?
Yes, the newspaper and the lobster are fine. You did say they were on sale, and I do love lobster. I think I would have been offended if you had not bought at least one for me. I see nothing peculiar about that. That’s what we got that new freezer downstairs for.

Listen. Don’t you understand? I want LIVE! Did I mention video tapes once? Video tapes are lousy! You probably got your local cable company to do a demo for you. That is not exactly HIGH QUALITY. It’s definitely not going to impress me. It has to be LIVE or nothing. Thank you Bob. I have no more time for you. NEXT!!!

So do I. I disapprove of myself violently. I'm a doddering lunatic, incapable of thinking of anything but you. I can't work. I can't eat, I can't sleep. I'm no use to the world. I'm not a man, I'm a mess. I'm about to do something silly because I can't do anything else.

Why not? They're all the same inside. There are three hundred ways, they say, of cooking a potato--there are as many of dressing up a lie, and calling it a novel. But it's always the same old lie. Here take this book. Popular Astronomy. That will send you to sleep.
