- 8807: Time for Americans To Be A Family
- ... run- of-the-mill guy who wants to do the right thing. From the time I was little boy, I have seen one particular group called colored, Negro, black, and now, African-American. I can't seem to find a consensus out there in any media, one moment the reference is to blacks, and the next to African-Americans, when they are referring to the same group of people. I'm not knocking what people want to call themselves, it's the mixed messages I'm getting and the inaccuracy of the terminology that frustrates me. Look around and you will see there is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Black Muslims ... those who use that term to describe themselves are of African origin and are exclusively black in color. As we all know, there are white Africans, too. Should they choose to come to the U.S., they too, would be eligible for the label African-American, which would further confuse the issue. Enter the U.S. Census Bureau. Rather than help clear up the mess, they perpetuate it by requesting ...

William Butler Yeats was born in the Dublin suburb of Sandymont on June 13, 1865. Interestingly enough, his family was of the Protestant faith. He wasn’t much of an activist at first and didn’t really care all that much for schooling either, “because I found it difficult to attend to anything less interesting than my thoughts, I was difficult to teach” (DLB 19, 403). However, in 1886 he ...
- 8809: Analysis of Several Works of Literature
- ... and that being a part of humanity can only hinder his thirst for knowledge. The other side gives me little trouble; First batter this present world to rubble, Then the other may rise — if that's the plan. This earth is where my springs of joy have started, And this sun shines on me when brokenhearted; If I can first from them be parted, Then let happen what will and can ... an asset rather than a curse. "And you are fully within your rights; I have made no mad or outrageous claim. If I stay as I am, I am a slave— whether yours or another's, it's all the same." (Faust, Faust, 996) Faust sees himself as a slave to humanity and once again emphasizes his cynical outlook on the prospect of staying human. "Who's there?" (Bernardo, Hamlet, p.1) ...
- 8810: Gullivers Travels
