- 1341: Buddhist Art--two Periods Of B
- ... developed from local Indian artistic traditions, Gandharan sculptures were heavily influenced by the artistic traditions of the Hellenistic world, most probably as a result of Alexander the Great's colony in Bactria (western Afghanistan). Mathura school sculptures often share iconographic features with their Kusana-period counterparts in the northwest. But for the most part, they reveal a purely Indic stylistic heritage that must have evolved independently (Huntington 151). The Gandharan style of sculpture, on the other hand, combines an intriguing blend of Western classical and Indian influences. Gandhara was a region in the northwest of ancient India, known for its Greco-Buddhist school of sculpture. Gandhara corresponded to the modern Peshawar valley, but its more popular meaning today encompasses large portions of northern Pakistan and adjoining northeastern Afghanistan. Gandhara s regional location was vital to this Hellenistic development ... from the material schist.

- ... encounter, that God is always in complete and total control, and that He will restore me. The second evidence of His grace is seen in Hezekiah s illness. When Hezekiah turned to God in fervent prayer for healing, God responded to his prayer by allowing him to live for 15 more years. By God s response, I would have learned that God has the power to change the entire course of our lives through our prayer life, and that I should never hesitate to ask God for radical changes, as long as I honor Him with those changes. Hezekiah went on to speak of the significance of passing the joy ...

Though Shakespeare spent long hours at school, his boyhood was probably fascinating. Stratford was a lively town and during holidays, it was known to ...
- 1346: What Role Will Poetry Play In
- ... is something I read on the back of a poetry book recently; poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking. Poetry means the something different to almost everyone from the window cleaner who left school at fourteen to the highly educated head of English at Malvern College.

- 1347: The Contempary Enlightend One
- ... and it is also apparent in Salinger s life. Does Salinger exhibit Buddhism on different levels in Catcher in the Rye? The main character in the book is Holden Caulfield. He attends a rich prep school called Prency prep. It is a school that typifies the idealistic American school, where the dirt and grind does not have a space, at least not on the surface. Holden is then expelled from the school, and starts to venture out the world on his own. He ...
- 1348: The Catcher In The Rye The Duc
- ... Catcher in the Rye? Because it's one of the best fucking books ever written! I read The Catcher in the Rye at the perfect age. I was 17, a frustrated freak of a high school student, seemingly doomed to perpetual virginity. To be exposed to Holden Caulfield in this condition is an epiphany that born-again Christian pretend to experience when they talk to Jesus. There is something unsettling about ... Holden Caulfield is teen angst bullshit with a pickaxe. He's sarcastic, nasty, and completely unlikeable. He also doesn't give a shit. He is every teenager caught between the shitty little games of high school ("you're supposed to kill yourself if the football team loses or something") and the fear of adulthood ("going to get an office job and make a lot of money like the rest of the ... what he says but the way he says it. He goes through life making dead-on observations that completely shoot the kneecaps out from under the terminally self-righteous. When a successful mortician tells the school to follow his example and pray when things go bad, it is Holden Caulfield who points out that the guy is praying for more people to die. He's depressed by nuns and annoyed ...

- 1350: Stereotyping Lord Of The Flies
- ... The clothes we wear, the way we do our hair, the people we hang out with, this all adds to our uniqueness. This diverseness should not be discriminating towards anyone. The way we do in school also adds to the list of stereotypes. Some kids feel they have to do poorly in order to avoid names such as "brain", "browner", or something that can be as complimenting as smart or intelligent ... because of what reputation your clothes give you. If someone wanted to get away from the hassle of stereotyping, all they'd have to do is dress normally. But what is normal? Is normal a school full of preps without individuality. Would a Nike, Reebok, or Addidas sign be the only difference between students? Would everyone then receive the same amount of attention and would all sports be popular and all teachers be respected. Would the "smoking area" no longer have to exist? Where is the individuality and uniqueness that makes school interesting? Life is full of stereotypical monstrosities.
