The Bhagavad Gita
.... also, caught my attention. As I had understood it, karma was that every action will have a result…and those results will determine one’s destiny. Sri Krishna, within The Bhagavad Gita, teaches Prince Arjuna of a “way out” of the cycle. Apparently, if one works selflessly and does not think of obtaining a reward, he or she will rise above karma and have obtained life’s ultimate goal. This seems to deviate from the standard in other religions studied thus far.

The Birds
.... imaginably possible, the birth of wings does give birth to the power that Pisthetaerus craves more of. This power he craves helps him achieve more of his goal to escape his current conditions to one that submits to no higher deity.
When the target is distorted in an appropriate way, “the satire proceeds by an unrelenting attack. Here the satirist has a variety of weapons, ranging from rude direct insults and a lot of robust physical humor (pratfalls, misunderstandings, mock fights) to more c .....

The Book Of Judges
....
The name of the book is very deceptive, because there weren’t any judges at all, nor any judges notified of this book been written. The word Judges was actually a translation for the hebrew word “Shofet” which signifies a ruler or a great military ruler, which through out the book, influencial people such as Samson and or even Joshua are described as the Judges. The book of judges is supprisingly part of the book of prophets, because many prophets are mentioned and reported apon. The .....

Sure enough the time came and Peter knocks the boy’s teeth loose and he ends up having a lisp himself.

I am sure that this television program has some effect on its audience. I would like to hope that people take the .....

The Breakfast Club
.... easier said than done. In the middle of the movie, Andrew began to notice that she was in need and want of attention. She went so far as to make up stories, and say that she was a pathological lier, just to get people to pay more attention to her. She also did some very different things that I have never seen any normal girl do. Usually, a girls purse is a private object that carries personal items. I’ve never seen any girl just literally dump all of the contents out of her purse and onto the .....

The Catcher In The Rye The Duc
.... running joke, even tracking Mel Gibson by monitoring purchases of The Catcher in the Rye.
So why is this book so influential? Why do normal people have underlined copies in their personal library? Why is every book about whiney losers sitting around complaining about their lives, (where the major problem is that the damn author can't think of a plot) compared favorably to The Catcher in the Rye? Because it's one of the best fucking books ever written!
I read The Catcher in the Rye at the perfect ag .....
