- 361: The Trickster
- ... and comparing them to each other and our own. Studying it reminds us that all humans are bound together by a common source. The "Trickster" is an archetype that surfaces in many cultural and religious stories. Each trickster is unique to it's own culture, but all tricksters are bound by certain characteristics no matter what religion they show up in. Anthropologists would argue that each trickster should be evaluated in ... to extricate himself from quandaries." (p.67 Hynes and Doty). The trickster seems to be a comedy of opposites. For every good aspect of his persona there is an equal and opposite aspect. In religious stories his role is very diverse. He is the breaker if taboos. He provides comic relief to a religious myth. And he will pull off elaborate schemes to teach a moral lesson or expose the folly of men. The Trickster shares many attributes with man. In Native American stories he takes the form of the coyote. He is earthbound, like man, but is constantly trying to transcend this fate. He is always attempting to fly (which is the sign of a god to ...

Second, since prices cannot be changed continually, they will be out of equilibrium for the presumably short period between price changes. Third, inflation cre-ates an incentive to hold too little currency, because currency holdings lose their real value without having the compensation of the higher nominal interest rates that other assets ... Such losses are inequitable. Furthermore, with sharply fluctuating interest rates, firms that plan to borrow have to spend time and effort trying to predict the best time to do so, and financial institutions that borrow short and lend long, are in trouble. In addition, in-terest-rate fluctuations generate fluctuations in exchange rates and thus are disruptive to foreign trade and investment, as we have already seen. Finally, we must keep ... employment goals. Since inflation that is not fully anticipated reduces economic growth, there exists no conflict between high economic growth and price stability in the long run. There may, however, be a conflict in the short run. To eliminate or reduce ex-isting inflation, it generally requires that unemployment and excess capacity increase. The more excess capacity firms have, the less is the incentive to invest. The prevention of widespread ...

- 367: Francis Macomber In The Short
- Francis Macomber - From Mouse to Man One theme present in Ernest Hemingway's short story, "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber", is that the way a person views his life can change completely in one fulfilling moment, if only for an instant. This is a story of an "unhappy man's ... wife, as well as a feeling of weakness when compared to Robert Wilson, his safari leader. He regains his integrity and confidence when "he bravely faces a charging bull" only to have his "life cut short when his wife--fearful of her husband's newfound potency-fires a bullet through the back of his head" (Ed. Harris 205). At the start of the safari, Francis Macomber must endure the embarrassment ...
- 368: Five Against The World - Perl Jam
- ... marked "Stone Gossard Demos 91." The guitar-god magazines have only recently discovered it, but most Pearl Jam songs began life as a Gossard riff. One of his early favorites was a song called "Dollar Short," an unfinished track that he'd started working on back when he and bassist Ament were in Mother Love Bone. Love Bone was the promising Seattle hard-rock band they'd formed after the break ... native whose father is a lawyer - barely put down his guitar, playing constantly, moving away from the trippy atmospherics of Love Bone and toward a hard-edged groove. Part of the new blueprint was "Dollar Short." Eventually Gossard called in McCready, an explosive lead guitarist who had been so bummed out by the breakup of his own Seattle band, Shadow, that he'd started turning into a Republican - literally. He'd ... the musical hothouse for Green River and Mother Love Bone. When Ament joined the Gossard-McCready jams, inspiration struck again. "I knew we had a band," McCready says, "When we started playing that song 'Dollar Short.' " Dave Krusen joined the band later, playing on "Ten," but soon left to deal with some domestic problems. He was replaced by Abbruzzese, who had been playing in a funk band and co-hosting ...
- 369: Loneliness
- Loneliness Loneliness is inherent in the lives of Charlotte, from "Pomegranate Seed," and Lyman, from "The Red Convertible." The writers of the stories have their personal experiences built into their work. In addition, the characters from both stories suffered through similar ordeals; they helplessly watched a loved one dissolve like a fading dream. Kassanoff explains, Wharton recognized her younger self in Sara, a woman in "All Souls'" who, is paralyzed by loneliness (383). This loneliness in the younger life of Wharton was inevitably ingrained in her stories. The story "Pomegranate Seed" is a perfect example of how Wharton's loneliness seeped into her writing. Erdrich's "The Red Convertible" is contained in the book Love Medicine. Marie, a character in another ...
- 370: Carvers Realism From Fires
- How does Carver create precision of reality with his characters, focusing on Fires? When looking at the works of Raymond Carver, one can feel a sense of autobiography, that the characters in his stories are struggling against the same circumstances that Carver himself once struggled through. How true this is, is marginal to say the least, for Carver tells us in Fires that anything from a phone call to living in a seedy apartment in Jerusalem for four months is cause to influence his writing. But taking this as subject of influence for his stories, one must then look at his characters, who at times more than closely resemble a certain element of Carver himself in a certain situation that Carver has since been in. The essence of the characters make Carvers stories all the more realistic, as you can sense the trials and tribulations that these people have gone through, and are being faced with as we read each page further. In looking at Carvers Fires, ...
