- 2752: An Attempt At Understanding Dreams
- ... in my dreams. My mother keeps dreaming up to this day that she is sitting in the classroom taking an exam she is not prepared for, and that she fails it. Obviously my mother finished school some time ago (and she never failed exams) but the fact that she has this dream might reflect her fears, not of failing exams, but perhaps fear of failure in general. Some dreams are very ... argument. Another common dream category is when people dream that they are falling. Teymour Ghaleb mentioned this as one of his dreams when I interviewed him. He dreams that he is falling down from a high cliff, but he wakes up before he reaches the ground. This particular type of dreams is quite controversial and I saw Dr. Moustafa Mahmoud, the famous Egyptian writer and philosopher, talking about it once on ... developed by hard concentration in the dream and by always trying to test the reality of the dream, and by testing the environment to see if you are awake or dreaming.

- 2754: Less Than Zero Book Review
- ... a raw, powerful portrait of a lost generation who have experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. They live in a world shaped by passivity. The place lacks feeling and hope.

Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern College and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege. In this immoral world ... have been churned out for years. It's only 200 pages or so, so it's worth the time to read it. I learned about Bret Easton Ellis and his work from an interview in High Times magazine. His age at Less Than Zeros publishing was 21, which interested and fascinated me the most. I read rave reviews and decided to read the book. From the first few lines the ...
- 2755: AIDS
- ... States, have instituted stringent rules for testing long-term foreign visitors or potential immigrants for AIDS, as well as testing returning foreign nationals. In the United States one frequent phenomenon is the effort to keep school-age children with AIDS isolated from their classmates, if not out of school altogether. Governmental and civil rights organizations have countered restrictive moves with a great deal of success. There is little doubt that the ultimate physical toll of the AIDS epidemic will be high, as will be its economic costs, however the social issues are resolved. Concerted efforts are under way to address the problem at many levels, and they offer hope for successful strategies to combat HIV- ...
- 2756: AIDS
- ... the only way that actually helps prevent you from getting the virus. I think that society should make condoms more accessible to young people, I believe they should have condom machines in girl and guys school bathrooms. I also feel that they should be distributed in school social events such as dances or proms, when it is most likely that they will be having sex. Giving youth condoms is not encouraging sex, in my opinion yet it is educated them that they ... there is still not a cure and we may still be far from finding one, I think that there is hope and people who have contracted HIV should think positive so that their spirit remain high. They have found drugs like protease inhibitors which in clinical trials ion human, have reduces the virus in the bloodstream by as much as 99%. (Pitta, Jule Home Edition, Los Angeles Times, 1-15- ...
- 2757: Allen Ginsberg : Howl
- ... cock and hand and asshole holy! Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is eternity! Everyman's an angel! (Ginsberg 22) There's nothing like a good obscenity trial to turn the high school kids of America onto a work they'd otherwise ignore. In the case of 'Howl,' the line about "saintly motorcyclists fucking somebody up the ass" brought the wrath of the right-wing. Moloch played his ... National Institute of Arts and Letters, and is a Distinguished Professor at Brooklyn College and a member of the Executive Board of PEN American Center.

- 2759: Vengeful Equity
- ... greed. Women like men, do these things by choice. For the most part, no one forces a needle in their arm, forces them to court and sometimes marry an idiot, have children, drop out of school, or to spite their parents and run with the "bad" crowd. These are choices and I feel they are all avoidable. Just to clarify my thought pattern on this subject, here are a few examples of what I am referring too. A women who runs drugs for a lover. Idiot! A women who drops out of school. Idiot! A women who has children before she can afford it. Idiot! A women who has sex for drugs or money. Idiot! A women who does drugs. Idiot! Chesney-Lind's paper has a theme ... I guess, what can you expect from a world still caught up with racial tension and sexual discrimination at the top of everyone's thought process. If we were to actually punish those who score high on these surveys, you'd have to throw away the key twice on black men. I don't buy it, it is bull*censored*, and that is my personal view on Chesney-Lind and ...
- 2760: Inclusion Of Master Harold And
- The claims for the inclusion of MHATBs’ in a specified course of secondary school English study are entirely justified.

Willie has none of Sam’s complexities and subtleties. In the drawing and sustaining of all three characters, Fugard’s skills will be appreciated by high school readers. In justifying this play as a worthy inclusion to a course of study, mention must be made of the playwright’s use of motifs. Many novelists and playwrights exploit symbolism in their writing, ...
