- 251: Tale Of Two Cities Charictariz
- ... psyche through unselfish love and devotion. She maintains a calm, restful atmosphere in their Soho lodgings, attracting suitors (Charles Darnay, Stryver, Sydney Carton) and brightening the life of family friend Jarvis Lorry. Home is Lucie's chosen territory, where she displays her fireside virtues of tranquility, fidelity, and motherhood. It's as a symbol of home that her centrality and influence are greatest. Even her physical attributes promote domestic happiness: her blonde hair is a "golden thread" binding her father to health and sanity, weaving a fulfilling life for her eventual husband, Charles Darnay, and their daughter. Lucie is central, too, in the sense that she's caught in several triangles--the most obvious one involving Carton and Darnay. Lucie marries Darnay (he's upcoming and handsome, the romantic lead) and exerts great influence on Carton. A second, subtler triangle involves ...
- 252: Walden Two
- ... the story is incest. Incest is everywhere in this book! First and most obvious is the relationship between Marito and aunt Julia. They are not actually blood relatives, but Aunt Julia is MaritoÕs Uncle Lucho's sister in law. But that still makes here a relative of sorts and therefore makes their relationship and eventual marriage wrong, especially in the eyes of the family. another interesting thing in the book is ... intentional community of 1,000 started by one Frazier (no first name or title ever mentioned) who applies the tools of behavioral modification to make of Walden Two the best of all possible worlds.

The reader can identify with one or another ... is completed by two young men and their girlfriends. The guys and one of the girls are the enthusiasts of the group while the other girl resists by avoidance. She never engages any of Frazier's ideas and remains untouched by them throughout the visit.

- Motown’s Evolution and with Emphasis on Its Women Inside, the front office near the receptionist’s desk there are vintage copies of Jet and Ebony, magazines geared towards the black population. The switchboard looks like something out of the original “Dragnet,” with quarter-inch plugs and manual phone patching to route calls. Upstairs, Gordy’s apartment has a crib for his sons, and the kitchen is ready to provide either the family dinner or snacks for the office workers. The living-room table is stewn with records and surrounded ...

- 258: A Comparison Of Two Classic Fi
- ... These films prove that although many years have passed, decades in fact, the plots of many film noirs have stayed the same. Through all the similarities however, the transition from film noirs of the 40's, and modern film noirs is very much prevalent. These films involve the most intricate of murder plans in any modern movies I have seen, and though the one in The Last Seductions doesn't exactly go without problems, it could easily have worked had Mike been up for it.

It's actually quite shocking, when I watched both movies back to back, and heard the words "double indemnity" in The Last Seduction. Double Indemnity begins in classic noir style with a sense of something bad ...

Just the sight of steam rising ...

- Creative Story: Fast Eddie Where do I begin... to write down my misadventure. I would have never picked up a pen and began had it not been for my host. He's the type of fellow who tells you what to do and his partners (soldiers) make sure you did just as your told. This hideout, this fortress has more weapons than I've seen in months. There is a guard at my door this minute, put there for my protection so I was told. Yeh right! He's got a mean looking revolver with a huge bore. That's bad enough but he points it directly at my chest and waves it around when he addresses me. I can't describe the look in his eyes. I truly believe he would love to ...
