- 2302: RAP CENORSHIP
- ... Youth therefore need to be educated and informed in some way, and music is a strong link to their lifestyle.

Popular music can inspire a radical mentality, it is a "major political weapon" urging youth to improve their world (Rodnitzky 1972). Henry Thoreau labeled music "the arch-reformer."

- 2304: Personal Writing: My Dog Skippy
- ... When I was little I loved animals. Although most children have pets, I could not convince my parents into allowing me to have one until my pre teens. I could not have been happier the day my family went to the pound and I picked out my dog Skippy. Skippy loved to run and he was loyal to me and I will never forget the day I lost him.

- 2306: Hans Christian Andersen
- ... is a defense and celebration of the desperate coping mechanisms by which endangered women survive, outwit, and undermine devaluation, coercion, enslavement, torture, potential death sentences, and outright gynocide. Like Zhukov in Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Offred clings to sanity through the enjoyment of simple pleasures: smoothing lotion on her dry skin and smoking a cigarette with Moira and her lesbian sisterhood in the washroom ... two centuries in the future. Speculative fiction, the third determinant, is a form of jeremiad - an intentionally unsettling blend of surmise and warning based on current political, social, economic, and religious trends.

Her bleak fictional narrative connects real ... and rationalization. Like the weeping survivors of the doomed boy-kingdom in William Golding's Lord of the Flies and Holden Caulfield rehashing his failures and foibles from a private California psychiatric hospital in J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, Offred frequently castigates herself for trying to maintain her humanity and fidelity to cherished morals and beliefs in a milieu that crushes dissent. In frequent night scenes, during ...

- 2308: Johnny Got His Gun
- ... The story’s purpose as a whole is to inform that war is not filled with glory but pain and suffering. Life is something much to valuable to be taken for granted.

Address Dr. Wilhelm Schmidt as "Dr. Schmidt" or "Herr Doktor." His female colleague with a Ph.D would be "Frau Doktor."
