Kenpachi Zaraki
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Kenpachi Zaraki is a fictional character and supporting anti-hero in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo. He is the captain of the 11th Division within the Gotei 13. His lieutenant is Yachiru Kusajishi. Kenpachi has a wild and aggressive appearance, fitting with his personality. He wears his captain's jacket without sleeves, and with a more ragged look to it--he acquired his jacket from the previous 11th Division captain, whom he defeated and killed in a duel in order to become captain. He styles his hair into liberty spikes with bells at the tips, which, Tite Kubo has remarked, makes his hair one of the most difficult to draw in the series.

The Cockleshell Heroes
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Cockleshell Heroes is a 1955 Second World War film with Trevor Howard, Anthony Newley, David Lodge and José Ferrer, who also directed. It is a fictionalised version of Operation Frankton, the true story of a commando raid on shipping in Bordeaux harbour. It was the first Warwick Film to be filmed in Cinemascope. Ferrer plays newly-promoted Major Stringer of the Royal Marines, who comes up with a novel idea for a raid. By using canoes, he believes it is possible for commandos to reach an enemy-held harbour undetected and blow up ships with limpet mines. He is given command of a small group of volunteers. However, he clashes with his veteran second-in-command, cynical, by-the-book Captain Hugh Thompson (Trevor Howard).

Académicos e romance
O objetivo deste livro é descrever o romance universitário inglês, a fim de apresentar um resumo das suas principais caraterísticas e chamar a atenção para a dissolução do mito da torre de marfim, há muito mantido pela comunidade académica. Um protagonista ingénuo, um enredo episódico, um tom satírico e uma multiplicidade de personagens de apoio estilizadas, segundo Wiegenstein (1987), são as quatro convenções que distinguem a ficção universitária como um subgénero distinto. Os enredos deste género podem ser totalmente diferentes e ter várias funções; por vezes, como no romance Joseph O'Neil's Dog (2015), estão entrelaçados em torno de críticas do mundo real fora dos limites académicos. Além disso, como em Nice Work de David Lodge, pode centrar-se no conflito entre os princípios académicos e os valores comerciais, bem como na sua aplicabilidade à sociedade em geral. Por último, pode debruçar-se sobre a descrição do assédio sexual, como em Der Campus (1996) de Dietrich Schwanitz: Um professor de sociologia e candidato ao cargo de chanceler/presidente da universidade depara-se com um incidente complicado com uma aluna que o acusa de comportamento inadequado e de violação com a ajuda do reitor.

Akademiker und Roman
Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den englischen Campusroman zu beschreiben, um eine Zusammenfassung seiner wichtigsten Merkmale zu geben und auf die Auflösung des lange gepflegten Mythos vom Elfenbeinturm in der akademischen Gemeinschaft hinzuweisen. Ein naiver Protagonist, eine episodische Handlung, ein satirischer Ton und eine Vielzahl von stilisierten Nebenfiguren sind nach Wiegenstein (1987) die vier Konventionen, die die College Fiction als eigenständiges Subgenre auszeichnen. Die Handlungen dieses Genres können völlig unterschiedlich sein und verschiedene Funktionen haben; manchmal, wie in dem Roman Joseph O'Neil's Dog (2015), drehen sie sich um Kritik an der realen Welt außerhalb der akademischen Grenzen. Darüber hinaus kann es, wie in David Lodges Nice Work, um den Konflikt zwischen akademischen Grundsätzen und kommerziellen Werten sowie deren Anwendbarkeit auf die Gesellschaft als Ganzes gehen. Schließlich kann er sich mit der Beschreibung sexueller Belästigung befassen, wie in Dietrich Schwanitz' Der Campus (1996): Ein Soziologieprofessor und Anwärter auf das Amt des Kanzlers/Universitätspräsidenten stößt auf einen belastenden Vorfall mit einer Studentin, die ihn mit Hilfe des Dekans unangemessenen Verhaltens und der Vergewaltigung bezichtigt.
