The Representation of Colonial Rule in Kipling's 'Beyond the Pale'
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Institut für Englische Philologie), course: 20th Century Short Stories, 11 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: There has been manifold discussion among Kipling critics, as far as his attitude towards imperialism is concerned. Not only that - the author's political involvement has been conceived as a disturbing factor in enjoying his literature, even complicating the appreciation of his artistic talents. Why is this so?

Once an Eagle, always an Eagle Becoming an Eagle Scout is an honor that is earned by those Scouts who work hard and aspire to a life of high ideals. An Eagle Scout’s sense of duty and values are well known. As an author and an Eagle Scout, Wygant invites all Eagle Scouts, Scouts who are currently on the Trail to Eagle, and non-Scouts to rise to the Eagle Scout Challenge with the help of his new book, IF – Beyond The Challenge. In IF - Beyond The Challenge, he encourage Eagles to fulfill their pledges to The Eagle Scout Challenge including Honor, Loyalty, Courage, Cheerfulness and Service. He offers Kipling’s poem “If” as a recipe and guide in this difficult task. By their nature, Eagles tend to find success in much of what they do. However, having impact and making a difference is better than success, and longer lasting. It is his hope that readers will work to lead a life that makes a difference, and always remember, the calling of an Eagle is to fly high, see far and serve.
