- 251: Davis' "Fifth Business": Death of Boy Staunton
- ... her and their children. The neglect grew and eventually Boy cheated on her. As the neglect grew, so did his guilt. When Leola eventually killed herself (due to Boy's neglect), his guilt grew so big he could not face it. This could be seen when Boy did not even attend her funeral. Dunstan Ramsey was Paul's life-long friend and enemy. Boy and Dunny ran somewhat of a parallel ... with his guilt by supporting Mrs. Dempster in her later years. Boy on the other hand ignored the guilt he felt for Mrs. Dempster and Leola. Boy did not know, but his conscience was so big that he would soon have to somehow open it up and face it. Dunny's paperweight was the key. His paperweight was the stone that was hidden in the snowball that hit Mrs. Dempster in ... stone to represent his guilt and in the end tried to swallow the stone (he tried to swallow his guilty conscience). Suicide was the only way out for Boy, because his shadow was much to big to confront. Boy's biggest mistake in his life, was that he did not face his conscience when it was small. Instead he let it grow inside him, a mistake which ultimately led to ...
- 252: The Situation In Kosovo
- ... Maybe not caring is the wrong thing to say. To quote Carl Bassmeier, a ex-drill sergeant that I interviewed, Americans are ignorant about foreign affairs. People don’t see how these things affect the big picture until a blow up occurs, and then they panic. When I asked Mr. Bassmeier what he thought about how concerned the American people were, he said that more and more people are becoming concerned about the plight of the Albanians because of publicity. They are sympathizing with the refugees more the more they hear about it on TV or the radio. As far as worrying about a big blowup, the people who are aware of what’s going on are very concerned, but the unaware are just that....unaware. How can so many people be so unconcerned and unaware about t situations that ... that happen at home, such as the Columbine High shootings, is very important. It’s good to worry about the goings on in our nation. Don’t forget, however, that the outside world has a big impact on the US as well. Everything that is happening in Kosovo could easily affect our day-to-day life. The next time you hear Kosovo being mentioned on the TV or the radio, ...
- 253: Death of the Superstars
- ... song. Why couldn't it have been some garage band that went down in flames instead of Lynard Skynard. Shoot for that matter now that we're on the airplane kick. I'm sure the Big Bopper and Richie Valens and the guy with the big horned rimmed glasses wishes that it was someone else on that plane. Does someone up in heaven say wow he/they sound great get them up here. I can just see a Don King look ... worry, I haven't forgotten you. Why would a member of your fan club, shoot and kill you as did the woman that shot Selena. I don't get it. She might have made a big difference in the life of some young, up and coming latina. Then again maybe not. Besides I loved the outfits! Jim Morrison the now dead ex-lead singer of the Doors. Although I was ...
- 254: Rock And Roll 2
- ... wonder how our great country came about. They ask themselves whom or what influenced this nation. What happened during the harsh years of those trials and tribulations? The American nation has gone through some pretty big changes. In recent research, one of the leading influences of the great 1960's was the music. Thus we are here to discuss how the so-called "Rock and Roll" influenced the 1960's. First ... music was always trying to speak out against the major issues of the 60's: war, youth, drugs, and freelove. Rockers such as "The Mamas and Papas," "Neil Young," and "Peter, Paul, and Mary" were big anti-war buffs. The Vietnam War took a great toll on the 1960's. At all the sit-ins, pickets, and all there was, was the music. People always rocked out. Big groups that had their starts during the 1960's such as "Aerosmith." They (Aerosmith) were huge time drug fanatics. When Steven Tyler, lead singer for "Aerosmith," would go on stage the scarf around the ...

- 256: Representations of Masculinity and Femininity in Miguel Street
- ... is not well liked on Miguel Street. He is a tiny man, who tries very hard to be funny, but is only laughed at not laughed with. He is married to a Mrs. Morgan, a big spanish woman, who like Popo's wife is only identified as being someone's wife. One night, Morgan is caught by his wife sleeping with another woman. The fighting is heard by most on Miguel Street and they can see that Mrs. Morgan is doing the beating this time. She is heard saying, "Leave the light on. Come, let we show the big hero to the people in the street. Come, let we show them what man really make like. You is not a anti- man , you is real man. You ain't only make ten children with ... their homes. They work, they beat and raise their children, and take on the roles of being the masters of their homes. Hat, Popo, Morgan, Man man (who only acts like he's crazy), and Big Foot (who as big as he is, is really a wimp inside) are examples of the illusion that men are the superior ones of Miguel Street. Only a shallow read could see that otherwise. ...
- 257: The Year 2000 Bug
- ... be like in a few weeks when the Y2K fanatics start emptying out the grocery stores and late comers will be left with nothing to buy for their families. Still, why is food such a big deal? Before electricity came to be used in homes people still ate and drank and lived off of the land. Supplies are a big thing that people worry about for the upcoming year. Lots of people are worried about power in their homes. As a result, people have been buying generators, batteries, and supplies like flashlights, heaters and fans ... others. Assuming the worst is human nature, if the worst happens then we will be a society of chaos. However, computer developers are currently working on re-building their computers to be Y2K compliant, costing big name computer companies millions in fees. Other effects that the bug is having today are that the home PC user is now buying software to test their Y2K compliance. Then they buy more software ...
- 258: Analysis of the Ending of "Death of a Salesman"
- ... The play "Death of a Salesman" shows the final demise of Willy Loman, a sixty-year-old salesman in the America of the 1940's, who has deluded himself all his life about being a big success in the business world. It also portrays his wife Linda, who "plays along" nicely with his lies and tells him what he wants to hear, out of compassion. The book describes the last day ... and success. But even here in one of his last moments, while having a conversation with a ghost from the past, he continues to lie to himself by saying that his funeral will be a big event [2], and that there will be guests from all over his former working territory in attendance. Yet as was to be expected, this is not what happens, none of the people he sold to ... Happy is unchanged, his old self. He says that "[they] would've helped him" (p.110), even though he himself had been extremely cruel to Willy by abandoning him at a restaurant just before the big quarrel, and certainly this wasn't the only incident where he had shown no regard at all for Willy. Happy has obviously not learned a thing from the entire tragedy, which is why Biff ...

- ... have heard about how the Native American Indians were driven from their land and forced to live on the reservations one particular event comes to my mind. That event is the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It is one of the few times that the Oglala Sioux made history with them being the ones who left the battlefield as winners. When stories are told, or when the media dares to ... territory described in this article, or without consent of the Indians pass through the same” (Matthiessen 7-8). This treaty also stated that the hunting rights on the land between the Black Hills and the Big Horn Mountains “as long as the grass shall grow and the water flows”.(Guttmacher 73). It forced the Indians to be farmers and live in houses. There could be no changes made to the treaty ... was an individual dance and the Sun Dance a community affair. In June 1877 the biggest Sun Dance seen on the reservation, twenty thousand strong, was held to honor Crazy Horse. This was the last big Sun Dance (Kadlecek 37-42). Crazy Horse was finally persuaded to bring his people in to live on the reservation. Crazy horse was lied to when a government official told him that he was ...
- 260: Personal Writing: All About Nothing: The Story of My Life
- Personal Writing: All About Nothing: The Story of My Life Perhaps the most important thing that has happened in my life is the fact that nothing really big or important has ever happened in my life. For example, my parents are still happily married, and nobody really close to me has evr died. All of this is very unfortunate, I am sure, because ... had a topic, but I might also have gotten my picture in the “ Hillsborough Beacon,” or even in the “Somerset Messenger Gazette,” which, in the lingo of those in the news paper business, is the ‘big time.' But there is little point in even mentioning these things, because they have not happened, and thus, I am left topicless. I could try to fool you with some far out, totally unbelievable story ... this is, “Sometimes, but then I remember that I don't have to deal with any of the excitement that other people do. Actually its quite relaxing.” I really would not want to have anything big happen to me, and would not wish excitement or important events on anybody. Look at Jim Kelly, quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. If he where to write this essay, I am absolutely positive that ...
