- 12122: Love Is Like...the Universe
- ... night sky, love has its own characteristic and style. For instance, the universe holds within it a plethora of celestial bodies. Just like the cosmos, love branches off into many distinct feelings. The galaxy doesn't consist of planets alone; it contains asteroids, stars, and black holes. Similarly, love doesn't consist of just an intimate affection towards one s parents, but also involves feeling a deep passion for a friend or even an object. Also, the formation itself of love and the galaxies are alike. Little by little, the cosmos is formed by ...
- 12123: No Thanks, I'll Take Real Music
- No Thanks, I'll Take Real Music It started last year in the spring/summer with the Back Street Boys. It progressed into one of modern music's worst disasters...the all male, all vocal band movement! Shortly after the Back Street Boys came out, many other almost identical bands came on the scene. That opened the flood gates to any group of no talent bands. How did this happen? I like the explanation of Lead singer Jon Davis of the band "Korn": "It's like a bunch of producers went to the mall looking for good looking kids and gave them a record deal." To me this best explains why they are successful. After all, the consumers of this ... sing about a controversial topic. If the bands did write and sing music about these topics, they would expand their range of listeners but they would also loose the nice clean cut image. I don't think that any of these bands have to struggle because before you know it these feel good-happy music groups are popping up everywhere. What should they do? When most bands start playing they ...

Norma Jeane was once heard to reflect on this time and say: "The world around me then was kind of grim...I had to learn to pretend in order to...I don’t know.. block the grimness.

- 12125: St. Benidict And Fear Of The L
- St. Benedict and the Fear of the Lord Throughout the ancient world the God s were something that people loved and hated. They did have a certain fear from their gods, but it wasn t like that kind of fear of the Middle Ages. With Christianity coming into full stride, the mentality of the time was that God was something to be feared. This is something of importance, the middle ... about on how to live a monastic life, and what the proper procedures are. The main goal that I feel is, is to not make God angry. Humility and obedience, the building blocks for anyone s life.

- 12127: Relay Races
- ... baton is the determining factor in almost all high level relay competitions. A good hand-off can easily make up for a lack of speed. A bad hand-off can cost a team all it's speed. The basic idea of the baton pass is to get the lead runner the baton while both runners are at top speed. This maximizes the effort of the team over the entire race. There are two fundamental types of passes in the relay. The upsweep consists of the back runner sweeping their arm upward to the receiver's hand. The downsweep consists of the runner moving their arm downward into the outstretched palm of the receiver. The elementary outside change is one of the basic forms of baton passing. The initial runner carries the baton in the left hand and runs the outside half of the lane. In an upsweep motion, they pass the baton to the 'V' created by the receiver's thumb and forefinger. The receiver stands on the inside half of the lane and is turned looking back over their right shoulder. The receiver has their left foot forward and is a modified crouch ...

- 12129: The Mikado: Criticism The English Society And Beliefs
- ... sparking lyrics and the vagaries of love set in a fanciful Japanese society. For example: KO-KO (Lord High Executioner of Titipu) is engaged to YUM-YUM (Ward of KO-KO). Even YUM-YUM doesn't like KO-KO, she can't refuse him because of in Japan girls do not arrive at years of discretion until they are fifty- from seventeen to forty-nine are considered years of indiscretion (Gilbert, 1885).

- 12130: The Joy Luck Club: Differences Between Generations
- ... to be for a lot of minority groups, is, "Neither, I’m Chinese-American." So, besides her American accent and a hyphenated ending on her answer to the SAT questionnaire about her ethnic background, what’s the difference? In Amy Tan’s enjoyable novel, The Joy Luck Club, about the relationships and experiences of four Chinese mothers and four Chinese-American daughters, I found out the answer to this question. The difference in upbringing of those women born during the first quarter of this century in China, and their daughters born in the American atmosphere of California, is a difference that doesn’t exactly take a scientist to see. From the beginning of the novel, you hear Suyuan Woo tell the story of "The Joy Luck Club," a group started by some Chinese women during World War ...
