- 534: The School: Postmodernist Ideas
- ... it does also have an incorporated pessimism that makes me reflect on the story. I think this pessimism is the cause that postmodernists reject society. The notion of rejection comes in the story through the death cases. It seems strange why Barthelme uses the notion death in his story, but I think the reason is that this is the best way to stress that every living thing is losing its importance. Hopeless pessimism interweaves with the idea of rejection, and I find them together everywhere, in every death case. For Barthelme, what is lost is unrecoverable. Pessimism, mostly expressed in taking death naturally, spreads uniformly all over the story, from the first paragraph about the orange trees to the last when the ...

- 537: Marilyn Monroe: Suicide or Murder
- Marilyn Monroe: Suicide or Murder Marilyn Monroe, was it a suicide or a murder? The mystery continues. Marilyn was a sex goddess of the 1950's and early 1960's shortly before her death in 1962.

Or did she ... woman-child charm.“On Her own, “ against almost all impossible personal and professional odds, she had created something brilliant and magical-Magical Monroe.” (Marilyn Monroe, Internet excerpt) There is many different stories about Marilyn's death. I have chosen two very important references. These references have facts leading up to the very moment she died.
