- 581: A Deeper Look into Sexuality of Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums" and its Literary Criticisms
- A Deeper Look into Sexuality of Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums" and its Literary Criticisms Reading over this excellent story once more, I am again filled with the same emotion (if it can be called that) that I experienced when first reading it. Steinbeck planned for that. In a letter to George Albee in 1933, Steinbeck comments on this story and his interest in Albee's opinion of it. “...It is entirely different and is designed to strike without the reader's knowledge. I mean he reads it casually and after it is finished feels that something profound has happened to him although he does not know what nor how.” I knew after reading this, that ...

A truckload of Indians had either hit another car or something – there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death. So we pulled the car up…I don’t remember ever seeing a movie, and suddenly, there were all these redskins, and they were lying all over the road bleeding to death.

- 584: A Critical Look At The Foster
- ... the conditions they are forced to endure are often far worse than those endured by prisoners in some third world nations. THE LABELING OF CHILDREN Kenneth Wooden, Executive Director of the National Coalition for Children's Justice, explained to a Congressional Subcommittee that there is little difference in the background and characteristics of children in care regardless of whether they have been labeled "dependent," "neglected," "status offender," "CHINS" (Children in Need of Supervision), or "emotionally disturbed." It was Wooden's impression that a "shell game" was being played with the labeling process, with dependent children, relabeled as "disturbed" or "hard to place" being shuttled off to private, often profit-making institutions in ever greater numbers ... rest of their lives.[3] THE GROUP HOMES Kenneth Wooden visited over 150 juvenile facilities over a three year period during the 1970s. His findings led to the formation of the National Coalition for Children's Justice. "Basically, they are called 'youth homes' or 'ranches' with fancy names like Cinderella Hall or Pleasant Valley or Happy Days," he explained to a Congressional subcommittee. "They have fancy brochures with swimming pools ...

- 586: J.D. Salinger's Personal Life
- J.D. Salinger's Personal Life Lots of people have asked me for "the goodies" on JDS' personal life. Frankly, I don't understand why. Because so many have asked, and keep asking, I thought I'd put down my reasons. Remember, though, that this isn't a monarchy. It's not even a democracy. It's just my opinion. Please feel free to disagree. My main reason to respect Salinger's privacy is just that, respect. He has asked very ...
- 587: Flying Towards Fate
- ... ten thousand pains, all because you did not tremble at the name of Zeus: your mind was yours, not his, and at its bidding you regarded mortal men too high, Prometheus.” -Aeschylus, “Prometheus Bound” Man’s imaginative reach of his own destiny transcends his actual capabilities of himself. The goal he attains is never quite the same as the one he projects. By his acts he inscribes himself in a world which he cannot comprehend anymore than he can understand himself. Each person is a self-creation, but chance furnishes most of the material out of which he must make himself. The nature of man’s hope in himself forces him to strive for an understanding of his universe and confront the powers of fate that govern his life. No matter what he finds the universe to be, or his particular ... of these ideals of an individual man plagued with the conflict of his universe and the fate that governed him. The prime function of these dramas was to express the feelings and reflections of man’s encounter with fate. Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon is a reflection of Greek tragedy in that the book’s central character Milkman is governed by the environment in which he was born ...
- 588: Death of a Salesman: Willy's Life
- Death of a Salesman: Willy's Life Death of a Salesman tells the story of every American father who wanted nothing but the best for himself, and his family. This is not non stop excitement, but it is something we can ... well rounded sons, and has a loving wife, he is obsessed with name recognition and judges who he is by what he has. During the play there are many examples to the fact that Willy’s mind is not stable. At times I found it very confusing because it seems as if Willy is getting Alzheimer’s disease, even though he has no trouble remembering things. He does a lot of unconscious rambling or talking out loud to himself about his obsessions. I don’t know if that is a symptom ...
- 589: The Ninja
- ... pre-schoolers in special early Childhood programmes. Eric Lustbader, who travels worldwide in researching his novels, lives in Southampton, New York, with his wife Victoria Lustbader, who works for the Nature Conservancy. Well, I don t want to give the whole story away in this report, so I am going to summarise the story very briefly. The book isn t really just about a few selected people, but instead the author tries to see it from a lot of different perspectives. Therefore the reader get to know a variety of personalities. The Ninja is a high-voltage novel of intrigue and sensuality, richly characterised, fuelled by relentless suspense, an extraordinary thriller, least to say. If there s a main character in the book I think it would be Nicholas Linnear, a man of half-English, half-Oriental origin. A quite special man I will tell you more about later in this ...
- 590: Picasso
- Art represents beauty. It represents the soul and spirit of the artist. It's a form of communication that the artist can use as a substitution for words. Art has flourished the world for thousands of years and it has no intentions on stopping. One of "the most important figure's in modern art" (Selfridge, 15) is a man by the name of Pablo Picasso. He has taken the world into many places and has enabled us to see many abstract creations through his artwork alone. (Selfridge, 20) Born on October 25, 1881, Picasso was a miracle right from the start. There were complications with birth and everyone was sure that he wasn't going to make it, but then Picasso's uncle, Salvador Ruiz, was able to make this tragedy a miracle. He "exhaled a puff of cigar smoke into the baby's nostrils and suddenly…, he ...
