From the perspective of a poor Filipino, it can look more like abandoning one's own to be a tuto (puppy dog) to endlessly patronizing, undisguisedly racist Americans.

The collection is Kerouac's first undisguisedly autobiographical work and includes some of Kerouac's best writing in his spontaneous prose style. This is particularly evident in "Mexico Fellaheen" and "The Railroad Earth" (also known as "October in the Railroad Earth") which, added to his travel journal entries, produce a loose but effective collection. "Alone on a Mountaintop" recounts Kerouac's three-month stay on Desolation Peak as a lone fire lookout, which is also described (although somewhat differently) in The Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels. The book begins with Kerouac's answers to a publisher's questionnaire, about his life and work.

In 1910 Orde-Lees applied for a place on Scott's Terra Nova Expedition, but was turned down. When Ernest Shackleton was organizing the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition he decided that he needed a representative from the Royal Navy in order to get political and military support for the expedition. Orde-Lees as a skier and motor expert fitted the bill, and after Shackleton applied to Churchill for permission, Orde-Lees was released from his military duties and allowed to join the expedition as storekeeper. On board ship he proved unpopular with the rest of the crew -- he had a surly, condescending manner and was undisguisedly lazy.

6 June 2019 Bust of Ward, by Mario Raggi. In 1839 Ward became a writer for the British Critic, the organ of the Tractarian party, and he excited suspicion among the adherents of the party by his violent denunciations of the Church to which he still belonged. In 1841 he urged the publication of the celebrated Tract 90, and wrote in defence of it. From that period Ward and his associates worked undisguisedly for union with the Church of Rome, and in 1844 he published his Ideal of a Christian Church, in which he openly contended that the only hope for the Church of England lay in submission to the Church of Rome.

Others had severe difficulties adjusting to the Mormon-dominated territorial government and the unique Mormon culture. Historian Norman Furniss writes that although some of these appointees were basically honest and well- meaning, many were highly prejudiced against the Mormons even before they arrived in the territory and woefully unqualified for their positions, while a few were down-right reprobates. On the other hand, the Mormons had no patience for the federal domination entailed in territorial status, and often showed defiance toward the representatives of the federal government. In addition, while the Saints sincerely declared their loyalty to the United States and celebrated the Fourth of July every year with unabashed patriotism, they were undisguisedly critical of the federal government, which they felt had driven them out from their homes in the east.

He was to devote the rest of his life to literature, although he was severely criticised for lack of originality: Edward Irving Carlyle, in the first edition of the Dictionary of National Biography, says he "developed a remarkable capacity for plagiarism", adding that "Byron served for his chief model, but his poems and plays are full of sentiments and phrases taken undisguisedly from the best-known writings of Scott, Wordsworth, Ben Jonson, Croly, and others." His "Cain, the Wanderer" (1830), however, earned him an introduction to Coleridge and was praised by Goethe. In 1838, after a long stay in the southern Europe, he published his longest poem, Italy, which, according to Carlyle, "bears a close resemblance to Childe Harold, reproducing even the dying gladiator". His other publications included Sibyl Leaves: Poems (1827); The Revolt of the Angels, an epic drama (1830); Catiline, a tragedy (1839); Prose from the South (1846); and the novels The Light of other Days (1858), Wait and Hope (1859) and Saturday Sterne (1862).

1946 also saw the first appearance of her book Aus der Tiefe rufe ich, described as a novel but in many respects undisguisedly driven by her own experiences, and a work that has received greater attention, more than two decades following the author's death, since the appearance in 2004 of a new edition edited by Monika Melchert. The book deals with the lives of Jewish people in Berlin between 1938 and 1943, swinging between resignation and hope along the route to annihilation. In the post-war years Jung obtained a job as a literary, cultural and popular education editor with Berliner Rundfunk, a radio station established in 1946 and, during its early years, controlled by the Soviet administrators who had taken control of the entire central portion of Germany at the end of the war. By 1952 the Soviet occupation zone had been replaced by the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic, established formally in October 1949.
