Just
So Stories
by Rudyard Kipling
Because
these stories were written at the very beginning of the
twentieth century, there are some things in them pertaining
to race and culture that are rather offensive. The stories
must be read with an understanding of the extremely backward
and socially dangerous attitudes prevalent in Britain and
the United States at the time. There are attitudes expressed
in Kipling's work that frankly warrant intense criticism.
However, his work has an important place in world literature
and should be studied for both its value and its limited
perspective.
Select
a Story from the List:
<%
' Get session variables
Action = Left(UCase(Request("Action")),5)
If Action = "SHOW " Then
Title = Request("D3")
Title1 = BlowQuotes(Request("D3"))
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open Session("DataConn_ConnectionString")
sql = "SELECT * FROM Stories WHERE Title=" & "'" & Title1 & "'"
Set RS = Conn.Execute(sql)
Response.Write(" ")
Do While Not RS.EOF
Response.Write("" & Title & "
" & RS("Story") & "
By: " & RS("Author") & " " & RS("Date") & " | ")
Response.Write("")
RS.MoveNext
Loop
RS.Close
Conn.Close
Set RS = Nothing
Response.Write(" ")
End If
