- ... another time and dimension, did not seem to understand, or even recognize the morals and love that the people on earth had. Kreton only cared about entertaining himself by causing war and destruction. Because he liked it so much, Kreton could easily recognize violence when it came before him. Kreton thought that the people on Earth loved violence, because he saw ... it so much. Morals, and emotions were not understood by Kreton. Kreton did not do what was right, because he did not know of it. He thought the humans liked war, so he thought that was right and went along with it. Besides violence, Kreton liked to talk about how primitive and uncivilized the people on earth were. Kreton showed no ... love. He overlooks the love of the Speldings and everything that they give him. Instead of showing thanks to the Speldings, Kreton does the opposite and tries to start a war.

- ... in nearly bookstore is a testament of how wide a market Mintz is aiming at. It seems that Sweetness and Power is targeted at anyone between from the semi-educated (i.e. student) to the highly specialized professional (i.e. others within the same field of study).

- ... accomplished from the comfort of one's own home; grocery shopping, buying merchandise, paying bill, researching for term papers and even striking up relationships with people half way across the world. Communication, which once consisted of putting pen to paper, has now been reduced to a few key strokes and a click of a mouse; indeed, people are able to correspond ... locked themselves inside the anonymity of their computers. Indeed studies have shown the tendency for people to become significantly stressed, depressed and lonely with each hour spent in the obscure world of Internet chatting.

In an age of darkness, and ignorance the Europeans saw the world around them as evil and hostile. The dragon was used to symbolize the demons, sickness, and war that plagued their daily lives. While the Europeans feared the dragon as a beast or demon the Chinese saw them in a much better light. The Chinese thought of dragons as powerful guardian spirits. Their culture respected the dragon for wisdom and nobility. Though there are many different view points on how dragons are thought of , I prefer the more modern approach. In fantasy stories the modern dragon is an intelligent magical creature. A Dragon can be as good or evil as any one human can ...
