- 2972: Beloved By Toni Morrison
- ... life, yet Sethe refuses to acknowledge that her show of mercy is also murder. Throughout Beloved, Sethe's character consistently displays the duplistic nature of her actions. Not long after Sethe's reunion with Paul D. she describes her reaction to School Teacher's arrival: "Oh, no. I wasn't going back there[Sweet Home]. I went to jail instead"~(Morrison 42) Sethe's words suggest that she has made a ... was based upon the murder of her child. By not even approaching the subject of her daughter's death, it is also made clear that Sethe has detached herself from the act. Even when Paul D. learns of what Sethe has done and confronts her with it, Sethe still skirts the reality of her past. Sethe describes her reasoning to Paul D., "... So when I got here, even before they let me get out of bed, I stitched her a little something from a piece of cloth Baby Suggs had. Well, all I'm saying is ...

- ... relationship that man can really only hope for; one based on mutual respect and genuine concern. Finally, they are coerced to jump into the sea and swim to shore because they are all too exhauste d to continue rowing. All four members flee the dingy, Billie goes off by himself and the other three stick together. In the end, Billie drowns because he abandoned his micro-brotherhood while the three others ... her. He is thus evil and poses a threat to societies well being. Brand harbors hate in his heart and does nothing positive for society. He challenged GOD directly and therefor threatens mankind. If he'd open his heart and reinstate himself into the brotherhood of man, he would benefit himself and the collective group. The successful brotherhood of man entails a give and take mechanism. One can't just take ... for human ties and heart and emotion must be present to better balance one's perspective. In The Man of Adamant, Digby has a very narrow outlook on life to say the least. If he'd opened his heart to Mary and joined the brotherhood, he'd have the opportunity to experience a preponderance of other viewpoints, enhancing his experience. Hawthorne has elucidated the need for a balance in heart, ...
- 2974: A Look At Lsd And The Counter Culture Movement
- ... banned these devil drugs, so effectively that botanists denied of there very existence until they were re-discovered in the 50 s. It turned out that Braun had collected of some these mushrooms earlier that day and offered to try them with the Harvard faculty. So Leary decided to try the so-called hallucinogen. Two out the five abstained and would record the others experience on paper. Leary wrote of what ... prisoners, Leary began administering the test for what would be called The Good Friday Experiment in which 25 religious who were given a mild dose of LSD.

The dream Leary had for a free thinking world with mind-expanding drugs may never of been reached. But to this day many of his believes on this topic are still questioned and constantly remembered.

- 2975: Personal Writing: Memories
- ... to take it now.. BRRRRR (the whistle) GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL! I had scored and completed my hat-trick filled season. Our team did it, won our first tournament. Once I saw the trophies we had won my day was complete. I felt sooo great. It was a perfect day, and I would repeat it over and over again if I had the chance. The trophy that our team had won that day is still on my desk today. One of the worst times in my life occurred when my grandfather died. I remember the funeral, sad and dull. My grandfather died last May and it was ...
- 2976: Tango - In Spanish
- ... éstos. Las grandes orquestas de la década anterior, las que se cotizaban alto -Canaro, Fresedo, Lomuto, De Caro, Firpo-, desarrollaban un tango lento hamacado (salvo Donato, que se puso a correr a la velocidad de D'Arienzo). Los nuevos, en cambio, apuraron el compás; y los nuevos eran fundamentalmente Troilo, que organizó su orquesta cuando sólo tenía 23 años, y Di Sarli, que formó la primera a los 25, y a ... muy pronto, llegarían orquestas tan sonoras y bien timbradas como la de Alfredo Gobbi y la de Francini-Pontier; la de Tanturi ("Los Indios"), en su etapa rutilante (y demagógica) de Alberto Castillo; la de D'Agostino, con Vargas; la de Lucio Demare, inferior al piano de su director; la de Maderna, que no inventó gran cosa, porque Maderna había exprimido su inventiva al servicio de Caló. Pero el cuarenta se ... discos de tango que proliferaban como en los buenos tiempos, cuando Rosita Quiroga monopolizaba las prensas de Víctor. Todo aquello fue un poco milagroso y, por cierto, efímero. El milagro debió haberlo hecho, no más, D'Arienzo, "San D'Arienzo", como dijo alguna vez Joaquín Mora, reconociendo al denigrable -oh, y tantas veces denigrable!- maestro un mérito que, si fue el único, razón de más para reconocérselo. Pero los tres ...
- 2977: Modern Music
- ... a positive role model for help. I asked my mother what she listens to and what she feels when she listens to it. She said, “I like to listen to classical music after a hard day’s work because it soothes me to a point where my mind is free from all of the stress that is involved in my job.” My mom is an accountant where she works with numbers all day long, and that can get annoying by looking at the same sheet of numbers for hours at a time. My mom recently began listening to country music, and I asked her why she recently switched ... that I cannot live without music. I like to come home after class, lie down, and mellow out to some Pink Floyd or Pearl Jam. If I do not listen to my music for a day then I would not consider it a complete day. Music is the only thing that I consider mine, and nobody can take that away from me. Everybody should feel the same way as me ...
- 2978: The Clifford Ball
- ... seen a Phish show. I had always liked phish, but I was always reluctant to get tix for a show, I figured I could wait till they came to Giant Stadium, or The Meadowlands. One day I decided “ What the hell!!” Plattsburg was a good 6 hours up I-87 from quiet River Vale, New Jersey. So we spent most of the afternoon at Shop-rite, Campmor, and Ramsey outdoor. We ... a peace sign, got something that more or less looked like an egg but hey, I'M AT THE CLIFFORD BALL!!! There was so much to do, so much to see, and a whole other day left. After the band closed with Amazing Grace. We headed back to camp, where we regrouped and talked for hours about the fantastic show that was displayed before us. We walked around talked to thousands of people, we just had a great time. The next day was better then the first. Phish tore out tunes that I thought I would never hear. Wilson, A Day In the Life, Suzie Greenburg, Tweezer, Strange Design... After the show, we regrouped again. At ...
- 2979: A Look At Public Key Encryption
- ... information. Typically when governments used encryption they used a very complex method of encrypting messages. Encryption does not have to be complex; the Captain Video Decoder Rings that we had as children used encryption. You'd encode your secret message, such as "Meet me by the swings," by replacing the letters of the alphabet with substitute letters from a certain number of places away. For example, let's say we decide to use the key "+4." That would mean we'd switch each letter in our message with the letter that comes four places later in the alphabet. D would become H; R would become V, and so on. You, or anyone else who knows the key can easily switch the H back to a D, the V back to an R, and ...
- 2980: Meursault: A Man Who Refuses T
- ... protagonist Meursault, in Albert Camus's The Stranger, One finds this a very peculiar way to speak of a mother's passing. Meursault, however, finds his statement perfectly normal because he is not sure which day his mother died; he feels this is a perfectly logical statement. This quote is just one of the many examples of how Meursault is not a normal person in societies eyes. Meursault, in fact, is ... very little about his mother. Instead, he notices the people in the room, he makes crude observations about them, and he sleeps. These actions are not commonplace at a vigil for ones mother. The next day is the funeral.
