The prohibitions that weighed so heavily on Lady Isabel Vane and Sir Francis Levison – what had they done
wrong exactly? – were all the more compelling for their obscurity; some grandeur in the language intoxicated 3 her. She was astonished when little William died. Children always got better in books, didn’t they? “I have seen
the flowers we shall see in Heaven,” he said, “10 times brighter than our flowers here. When God takes a little child there it is because he loves him.” |

Ruby’s mother, Dalia, used to be a dancer before she had her children. Then she’d trained to be a psycho-
therapist, and you got the feeling she’d disowned her dancing days, looking back on them as delusion and 3 vanity. Yet still she carried herself in that dancer’s exquisitely conscious way, as if she was held taut by a
thread running up from the crown of her head; she was still hollowly thin, and painted her eyes with black, upward-swept lines, and wore her hair pulled back austerely from the sculpted bones of her face. |
Opgave 4

In research by online magazine Spiked, 80% of universities are shown, as a result of their official policies
and actions, to have either restricted or actively censored free speech and expression on campus beyond 3 the requirements of the law. Spiked’s first ever Free Speech University Rankings – which were overseen
by Professor Dennis Hayes, head of the centre for educational research at Derby University and Dr Joanna Williams, senior lecturer in higher education at Kent university – show each university administration and 6 students’ union graded green, amber or red based on an assessment of their policies and actions.
Institutions have been given an overall ranking based on the two combined. The research paints a picture of students keen to discourage racism but sometimes with almost comic 9 effect. Birmingham university’s student union has banned “racist” sombreros and native American dress
from being worn on campus. Lancaster union has banned initiation ceremonies, defined in part as “engaging in public stunts and buffoonery”. Louise Tickle, “Free speech? Not at four in five UK universities”, 2015. |
