This is difficult because wealth attracts all kinds of people who feign affection. However, Lear illustrates that
And yet, of course, this is a far better fate than served out to so many. And so they are allowed to live. (Except for Oskar's beloved Roswitha, who is killed by the "good guys" -- the Allied troops at Normandy.) Can Art Save Us? Oskar appears to grow up when he converts his childish toy to a professional instrument and becomes a jazz player. Jazz was anathema to the Germans
Unfortunately, most quantitative studies lack external validity in the research design to allow for general conclusions.
