Lencho was a spiritual man? i Doubt

Lencho was a spiritual man? i Doubt

One of my professional mentor once said, “Poetry and literary analysis is intellectual debris.” Review is our personal approach and real character is an author’s creativity. I cannot ignore the notion of the characterization that is being portrayed to students through multiple channels. Students, in specific, cannot think at an intellectual level. His approach is imitated from the approach of teacher. These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins.
