- 3321: Regeneration
- What is Madness? Madness and insanity are delicate topics that nobody really wants to talk about. One doesn't want to offend somebody by saying something wrong or unjust. So most of the time it is a breakthrough for someone to talk about the subject. There is a lingering quote that really stands out ... at the end of which, they tell you to piss off ending up at some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time. Wouldn't you consider that to be insane? That quote stands out in my mind because it is somewhat true. Whoever said the original idea of insanity was correct. What if that statement is true? Nobody is really correct on one's prediction of insanity and madness. That is why when Pat Barker wrote the novel, Regeneration, it was such a great breakthrough. She leaves the decision up to the reader to decide what and who ...
- 3322: Catcher In The Rye 7
- ... keep children innocent and pure. There are several quotes and examples to support this in Catcher in the Rye like when the kid was singing in the park of Radio City, the school scene, Allie s death and Holden s rage over Allie s death. Allie s death helps make Holden s decision about wanting to be a catcher in the rye. Holden wished he could have caught Allie before he fell off the cliff and died. Holden ...
- 3323: The Art Of Raising A Child
- ... into this world as a "tabula rasa", a blank slate. They think it is their task to mold the child in order to make him or her into a decent human being. If it wasn't for them controlling their child's behavior, likes, dislikes, appetite and sleeping pattern, they fear, the kid would turn into an anti-social, sleep-deprived, and under-nourished beast. When little Andy wants to play with his toys by himself, a strong voice of reason needs to inform him that a good boy shares with Cousin Kurt. And, if he doesn't do so voluntarily, the toy is taken away from him. This teaches him that sharing is good. When Baby Tina refuses to eat her spinach, she is not to leave the dinner table until ...
- 3324: Review of "Saving Private Ryan"
- ... film the classic that it has become. Saving Private Ryan opens and closes with an identical image--an American flag, waving in the wind. Given that we too often take images at face value, it's easy to figure this for half-ass patriotism. We must look more closely. This isn't standard-issue symbology. The flag is blasted out, bleeding of all colors. It signals that something fundamental has been lost forever. Saving Private Ryan is a patriotic film. How could it not be, possessed of ... at the loss of so much human life, and a similarly gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made. The flag in this certain frame represents everything worth fighting and living for, however, it doesn't tell the whole story. Its mere presence in the frame insists that something else, perhaps something still more important, remains behind. That "something else" may be America as a concept, the United States as ...
- 3325: K0rean War
- ... between the US and Soviet Union. One of the deadliest war in history, it took many lives in such a short span of time of three years. Even after all these deaths, the conflict isn't completely resolved in Korea. There are still American troops stationed in South Korea, in case the Communists decide to take aggressive action. In WW II, Japan had gained control in Korea. At the end, when ... made permanent. In 1947, the UN declared for elections to be held in all of Korea to decide one government for the country. However, North Korea refused to take part in the elections and didn't allow it. So on May 10, 1948, South Korea voted for a national assembly which set up the Republic of Korea. On September 9, North Korea set up the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. North and South Korea claimed the whole country and their troops fought several times between 1948-1950. The US removed it's troops from South Korea in 1949. It also said ...
- 3326: Stuck in the Middle
- ... out of him. They Asked him to tell how the police knew of the heist, he said he knew nothing and after beating on him some more, Nice Guy Eddie came in. He was Joe's son and told Mr. White and Mr. Pink that they would have to come with him to ditch the cars. Mr. Blonde was told to stay and keep an eye on the cop and the ... talking to the cop, who still insists he knows nothing. The lyrics to the song begin; keep in mind that I am suggesting that the words are what the cop is thinking. Well I don't know why I came here tonight. I got the feeling that something ain't right. I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, and I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right... Here ...
- 3327: Abortions
- ... for years, and I think that we as a state should step and make an example to the rest of the world and stop abortions. It is nearly impossible anymore to find someone who doesn’t have an opinion about abortion. Yet the endless debates on the topic usually go nowhere, leaving the opponents even more stuck to their positions, and the open-minded observers even more confused, but both sides have a good case. For example an unwanted child is a pitiful thing, and the apparent social problems like child neglect, and financial burden that comes with it don’t have easy solutions. On the other hand, the thought of killing a little baby is disgusting and unthinkable. This is where I stand, and the only solution I can come up with is the total ... abortion clinics, and the prosecution of people who perform these deeds. As with any big descion we must consider the opposing views. One reason that the debate on what we should do about abortions doesn’t go anywhere, is because each side focuses on a different topic. We make no progress because we are not talking about the same thing. The anti-abortionists are focused on the fetus’ rights, and ...

- Alzheimer’s disease is a slowly progressive, degenerative disorder of the brain that eventually results in abnormal brain function and death. The disease was first described in 1907 by a German physician, Dr. Alois Alzheimer(1864-1915 ... unexpected accumulation of cellular debris around the affected nerves, which he termed senile plaques. In a medical journal article published in 1905, Alzheimer speculated that the nerve tangles and plaques were responsible for the women’s dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is a disorder marked by a gradual decline in brain function that gets worse with time. It used to be assumed that this change was a normal part of aging that we called ...
- 3329: To Kill A Mockingbird - The Maturing of Jem Finch
- ... is assumed he is therefore immature. Jem also spends his time playing with his five year old sister. This also occurs very early in the novel: "Early one morning as we were beginning our day's play in the back yard, Jem and I heard something next door in Miss Rachel Haverford's collard patch." (11). As the novel progresses, Jem no longer plays with his sister Scout, but he is doing so at this point and he would appear to anyone as one child playing with his sister. Lastly, Jem has childhood fears like most any child does. All children have their fears or monsters. In Jem's case it i rthur Radley, commonly known as Boo: " Let's try and make him come out..."

- 3330: Inventions and Their Importance
- Inventions and Their Importance Have you ever wondered what life would be like if we didn't have the telephone, radio, or television to keep us busy? Without these inventions that almost all Americans depend on, people would be clueless as to what to do for entertainment and information. You wouldn't be able to watch exciting television broadcasts, listen to `to the minute` news reports, or chat with friends and family wherever they're located. The thought of life without the following things, makes you think ... process. "In the inventive process, an inventor first recognizes a need for an invention. The inventor then combines knowledge and skills with the proper materials to create a useful invention (7,355)." Until the 1900's inventors worked solo. Today there are large groups of technicians and scientists working together, because together they have higher chances of making a more successful invention. There are 3 important factors to a successful ...
