Bipolar affective disorder has been a mystery since the 16th century. History has shown that this disorder can appear in almost anyone. Even the great painter Vincent Van Gogh is believed to have had bipolar disorder. It is clear that in our society many people live with bipolar disorder however, despite the amount of people suffering from it, we are still waiting for explanations for the causes and cure. The one fact of which we are aware is that bipolar disorder severely undermines its' victims ability to obtain and maintain social and occupational success. Because bipolar disorder has such debilitating symptoms, it is important that we keep looking for explanations of its causes and for more ways to treat this disorder.Bipolar has a large variety of symptoms, divided in two categories. One is the manic episodes, the other is depressive. The depressive episodes are characterized by intense feelings of sadness and despair that can turn into feelings of hopelessness and helplessnes

Response to Critical Essay Anaconda Love Parental Enmeshment in Toni Morrisons Song of SolomonThe critical essay by Gary Storhoff discusses the origins of the psychological issues of Macon, Pilate and Ruth which leads to the parental enmeshment towards their children. The essay is separated into three parts, each section focusing on Macon and Pilate, Ruth, and Milkman, respectively. The arguments he sought to make made Macon not the villain that the novel characterizes him as and erases innocence that has been created for Ruth. The explanation behind Pilate and Macons enmeshment is because they seek to recreate their lost paradise, Lincolns Heaven. They also have acquired traits from their murdered father. One sibling attains one half while the other acquires the rest, also explaining their sibling rivalry. Macons trait of self-aggrandizement creates his need for authority over others Pilates trait of self-denial creates her showering of love for her daughter and granddaughter.

Introduction Folklore is a powerful and important part of any culture. In Latin America and the Caribbean, this is especially true as folklore often echoes the history of the people, encompasses many traditions and values and teaches us all lessons worth learning. Folklore may be a piece of fiction in the end, but its far-reaching myths and tales are more real than some may suspect. Lets take Pedro Pietris Puerto Rican Obituary, a sad song about the American Dream gone wrong for five misfortunate souls. Yet, there is something real, far too real about this poem. Perhaps because its been repeated over and over again and has deep roots in history, culture, literature, music and life of Latinos in the U.S. It is something anyone can pick up, read and feel. In this report, my intentions are to examine Pietris poem as folklore and draw upon history, culture and even personal accounts to better understand the experiences of Puerto Ricans and Latinos as they immigrated and settled in the U

Shellys Relationship To NatureIn Mont Blanc by Percy Byssche Shelly, the speaker provides an insight into the uncommon feelings that posses him as e observes the natural world. He writes about these uncommon feelings and how they bond him to nature through his place in the natural world, and the place of nature itself in him and in the world. Finally, Shelly ends the poem with what he learns from nature and his mind as a result.In Stanza 1, Shelly interprets nature in his perspective. He begins the poem by describing the feelings that possess him when he hears the waters of nature. Theres a sense of infinity that overcomes the mind when he uses the words everlasting, forever, and vast to describe things that have life. Shelly starts with the everlasting universe (1) as hes looking at nature and nature becomes a symbol for the universe. There is a feeling of eternity sensed when he compares human thoughts to the sounds of water The source of human thought its tribute brings Of waters,-

The Lord has given me a duty, a duty to abide by His laws and follow the moral code. In return, he has rewarded me with various Christian values, allowing me to mold into my distinct individuality. I was given the wisdom to understand the significance of my thoughts and actions and recognize the true values through my life experiences. Through acts of worship, I was taught thankfulness, where I was given the strength to forgive. Through testing and discouraging situations, I was enlightened by hope and placed my confidence not only in the Lord, but also within myself. Through acts of agreement, I was taught that serenity is unreachable without patience. Through these moral values, I have blossomed into the woman I have strived to be, therefore it is my mission as a Christian Leader to pass on these same values to my community. As the law formulates guidelines for the pursuit of justice, so does the Lord, as He has shown me that the righteous cares about the fairness for all. Pepperdine

This paper will attempt to discuss the cost and benefit of trade unionism, as it exists in the United States. To understand the pros and cons, it is important to understand the environment in which trade unionism developed and the needs they attempted to satisfy. It will discuss the evolution of Trade Unionism through the centuries. From that understanding we can discuss the topic as it relates to our current environment. Historians agree that American Unionism started in the early 19th Century. These early organizations were formed along the lines of Craft. Daniel Mills explains, in Labor Relations, "Crafts people worked for themselves, or in small shops. They were often in conflict with customers or merchants which they supplied." (35) These associations were formed to protect their craft, rather than as a collective bargaining union. In the mid 19th Century, America was in the middle of the industrial revolution. We were becoming an urban industrial society. Immigration wa

The Commonwealth was founded after the Second World War ended, and the British Empire with all its colonies was broken up. The organization consists of 54 independent member countries that are linked together by a common history and set of values. By time the Commonwealth has been criticized for being an out-dated and meaningless organisation based on oppressive values. In The article A royal salute to the Commonwealth from 2011, Peter Oborne, who is a British journalist and political commentator, responds to the critique and gives answers to the question of what an important and powerful role the Commonwealth will play in the future. Furthermore he expresses his support and tries to force the reader to take a stand.Peter Obone takes his starting commentary on Duke William and Duchess Kates first visit to Canada. Obone followed them on their royal holiday when they visited Canadas National War Memorial, which is a memorial for the Canadian troops during the First World War and the Seco

There are four stages of death that Philippe Aries discusses in Western Attitudes Towards Death. These stages include many different aspects such as time periods, reactions towards death, rituals, and cultural components. The stages range from the years 300 to the1930's. The four models used by Aries are "Tamed Death", "One's Own Death", "Thy Death", and "Forbidden Death." Each stage differentiates itself from the previous, with contradicting ideas and societal claims. Literary works The Cholera Years, The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers by Srebnick, essays from Mortal Remains, The Optimist's Daughter by Eudora Welty's, The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh and television programs from the twentieth century can all be correctly fit into the model of Western culture. Philippe Aries book Western Attitudes Towards Death gives a break down of how people live during specific time periods and how they view death. It explains the parallels betwe

Poetry Assignment "Richard Cory" Richard Cory is a poem written by Edwin Robinson, he uses a variety of poetic elements. Poetic elements are imagery, rhyme scheme, symbolism and hyperbole to name a few. Robinson's most common elements used in this poem are rhyme scheme and hyperbole. Robinson uses many elements, you can tell though out his poem that he's trying to make the 'flow' of the poem easy for it's readers. He makes the poem string together, he makes it come together but he gets the story across. His first use of elements is rhyme scheme. He uses this together in the first and third line. Rhyme scheme is when the last word in the sentence rhymes or sounds very similar that it is simple of it to roll off our tongue. 'Whenever Richard Cory went down town We people on the pavement looked at him He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored and imperially slim. ' As you can see from the excerpt above, Robinson uses the words town and cr

L UQ T WR T T T T T T T 8 T On August 10, 1969 the headline "Actress Is Among 5 Slain at Home in Beverly Hills" appeared on the front page of the New York Times (Roberts). This was the beginning of a investigation of police error which prolonged the arrest of Charles Manson. There were several people who claimed they had heard gunshots and screaming in the early morning hours of August 9. Mrs. Kott, who lived at 10070 Cielo Drive, heard three or four gunshots at what she guessed was to be about twelve thirty to one o'clock a.m. after which she heard nothing. About three quarters of a mile south of the murder scene, Tim Ireland was having an over night party at the camp of which he was a counselor. Everyone had gone to bed when Tim awoke to a man's voice screaming "Oh, God, no, please don't! Oh God, no, don't, don't, don't..." (Bugliosi

None Excellent Political Allegory In The Book Animal Farm 'Ideas play a part in any revolution, conflicting ideas is main reason why Revolutions happens. ' This is the platform that George Orwell used in his book ' Animal Farm'. The political allegory in the story is mocking the Revolution that changed 'Russia' into the 'USSR'. This was the workings of Karl Marx. Marx was known for being politically inspired by one idea. Marx wanted it to be that one class, the working class, and against another class, the rich or higher class. The Revolution was started by men who believed with Karl Marx's theory that the history of the world was the history of a struggle between classes between oppressors and oppressed. This happened in the book 'Animal Farm by George Orwell' Orwell uses this example to base his book on. He makes the characters personify the major players in the Russian Revolution. Orwell uses this to form a well written piece of litera

Sometimes a character may be pushed over the edge by our materialistic society to discover hisher true roots, which can only be found by going back to nature where monetary status was not important. Chris McCandless leaves all his possessions and begins a trek across the Western United States, which eventually brings him to the place of his demise-Alaska. Jon Krakauer makes you feel like you are with Chris on his journey and uses exerts from various authors such as Thoreau, London, and Tolstoy, as well as flashbacks and narrative pace and even is able to parallel the adventures of Chris to his own life as a young man in his novel Into the Wild. Krakauer educates himself of McCandless story by talking to the people that knew Chris the best. These people were not only his family but the people he met on the roads of his travels- they are the ones who became his road family.McCandless, an intelligent child to say the least, was frustrated with orders by anyone. He wanted to do things his

How can you overcome prejudice? How can you live when you are blind? How can you trust a complete stranger with your life? Theodore Taylor does a great job of incorporating detail and suspense into the book The Cay. Here all your questions will be answered. The Cay is an action-packed and adventurous novel. It is about a boy named Phillip who lived in Willemstand, which is found on the island of Curacao. Phillip was forced to leave the island because the German submariners were invading Willemstand. Phillip and his mother left on a steamboat that took them to the United States, but the Germans sunk the ship before it was out of site. Phillip survived the shipwreck and was stranded on an island with a Western Indian named Timothy. When the ship sunk, Phillip hit his head on a board. Later he is on a raft in the middle of the sea. Next to him are stew, the cat, and an old West Indian, Timothy. When Phillip was with Timothy he became blind. This story is about the hardships of being blind

The Thieved Power of Creation Mary Shelley uses the mythic figure, Prometheus, as a basis for the dark novel Frankenstein. The characteristics of this mythical being corresponds with the combination of Victor Frankensteins and the monsters intellect, conscience, and desire.The creator and the creation share a dual personality, theoretically equaling one single being with all the power compared to that of Prometheus. Creation and destruction,moral conscience and the desire for murderous revenge are thematical depictions of this antithetical relationship between Frankenstein and his monster. The mad-scientist cannot fully be compared to the mythical being without his counterpart or shadow, his son born of ambition, because the monster is an extension of his true self. Prometheanism in Shelleys novel is understood through this combination of the creator and his creation with the titan and the scientist sharing a variety of the same powers. In the Afterward to Frankenstein, Harold Bloom re

In the movie, a mechanic named, Benny Pearl is devoted to taking care of his younger, mentally ill sister, Joon. Benny has been Joons primary care taker ever since their parents had passed away in a car accident. Even though Benny works a full time job, his sister is his number one priority and he accepts not being able to live a normal life. Bennys favourite pastime was playing poker with his friends. While at one of these poker games, Joon had lost which resulted in them taking home the winners cousin. Since Joon no longer has a full time nanny to stay with her while Benny is away at work, Sam becomes her care taker. Eventually Sam and Joon fall in love and it results in them living their lives together in their own apartment while Benny finally gets to live his life freely. Throughout the film, there were multiple connections to the content being taught in class. To start off, Joons schizophrenic outbursts consist of hallucinations and delusions which cause her to scream and get ver

IntroductionThe term psychosis is often clustered by various symptoms of hallucinations, delusional thoughts, andor social incapabilitys. It has been revealed that such symptoms influence individuals with psychosis to have difficulties in the activities of daily living (ADL). Activities such as personal hygiene, getting in and out of bed, eating, and going to the toilet are examples were patients with psychosis have difficulties to manage. Moreover, this paper will illustrate the impact of daily difficulties on patients suffering from psychosis. Moreover, the most adequate nursing interventions that can be applied to accustom patients with psychosis will be identified. Interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, music therapy, and group therapy can have better outcomes to the lives of the patients and their families. Schizophrenia will be an example of psychosis in order to give a better understanding of the term.Psychosis is considered to be a dangerous disruption to the thou

I. The Oil IndustryThe oil industry can not be discussed without mentioning the name John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller changed the business of oil distribution. In the 19th century Rockefeller began his humble beginnings with a small investment, along with two other partners, in the oil refining business. Eventually Rockefeller upset at the direction of the company bought out his partners. He was now buying into refining and developing kerosene and other petroleum-based products. He later named this company The Standard Oil Company which by 1872 nearly owned all the oil refineries in Cleveland. In 1882, Rockefeller took all his holdings and merged them into the Standard Oil Trust. Through smart business practices and some deception, Rockefeller was able to control three-fourths of the petroleum industry by the 1900s. After his retirement the company faced problems. (Rockefeller archive) The U.S. government believed that the Standard Oil Trust was a monopoly and ordered its breakup much

There are many questions that Hemingway's novel raises in the reader, but I'm only going to talk about the presence of racism in it. At first reading one might not notice the signs of racism, and might not understand why the young Indian man killed himself while his wife was giving birth to their baby. These questions cannot be fully answered of course, because we do not know the writer's intentions. Every statement I'm going to make is based on my own opinion, other people might have different interpretations of this novel.I think Nick's father and Uncle George were aware of their racist attitude, but they tried to hide it even from themselves. They tried to act as if they looked at the Indians as equal, for example when Uncle George gave both Indians (who were rowing the boats) cigars. This gesture is particularly important, because of the special meaning of "smoking" in the Native American culture. I also think that the lack of Nick's father's s

In the book Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, the author describes what her reactions and feelings are to the racial hatred and discrimination she and eight other African-American teenagers received in Little Rock, Arkansas during the desegregation period in 1957. She tells the story of the nine students from the time she turned sixteen years old and began keeping a diary until her final days at Central High School in Little Rock. The story begins by Melba talking about the anger, hatred, and sadness that is brought up upon her first return to Central High for a reunion with her eight other classmates. As she walks through the halls and rooms of the old school, she recalls the horrible acts of violence that were committed by the white students against her and her friends.In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Brown vs. The Board of Education that schools needed to integrate and provide equal education for all people and it was unconstitutional for the state to de

Our sister Cinderella is such is a goody-two-shoes. Everyone thinks she is so quiet and innocent, but really she is a cruel sister when no one is around. She makes my sister, Drewzilla, and I, clean everything, do all her chores, and make us take care of the animals that live in the walls of our house, they are mostly mice. Cinderella always takes the credit for the work that she makes us do. Our mother even likes her better than us because she believes her lies. Everyday we have to stay in our room all alone while Cinderella went to the balls, interacted with all the good looking men, and even got to have dinner with the Queen, while we are left with scraps. All the pain started when I said, go away and leave my sister and I alone! You are living like a Princess while we are your own personal servants suffering try to keep surviving. Cinderella got really mad and scared and said, you are both one of the ugliest stepsisters I have ever seen. Now go away and leave me to my peace

First, I want to challenge myself further by serving in the US Army JAG Corps. As a naturalized American citizen of South Korean descent, I am grateful for the opportunities America has given to my family. Despite starting with limited resources when my family first came to the United States some 16 years ago, my parents became owners of two successful small businesses. Their modest success, along with several generous scholarships, allowed me to attend college and eventually become the first attorney in my family. Joining the Army JAG Corps is the biggest part of my American dream. Furthermore, I have strong interest in public service. During college, I volunteered as a hospice caregiver, as a temporary live-in teacher at an orphanage in Inchon, Korea, and as a helper at a Christian center for the homeless. Whether it is by advocating on the behalf of a service member during court martial or by providing legal assistance in his or her civilian affairs, I want to serve the interests

I Want to be a Paleontologist Contrary to popular belief, paleontology is more than just dinosaurs. Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth, as reflected in fossil records. There are many subdivisions of the field of paleontology, including vertebrate paleontology, invertebrate paleontology, micropaleontology, paleobotany, taphonomy, biosrtatigraphy, and paleoecology. Paleontologists are also frequently involved in studies about evolutionary biology. Preparation for becoming a paleontologist can begin as early as freshman year of high school. The best starting point is a college-prep program with as many math and science courses as possible. Outside reading and visiting museums with fossil displays is helpful. Good overall grades in high school are almost always required for admission to a good college or university, which is a necessary prerequisite for a career in paleontology. In college, a strong background in science, primarily biology and geology, is absolutely

Red as a Symbol for Passion in Red Sorghum Color is often used as a symbol in movies. The director can use colors in certain in order to emphasize certain ideas. Zhang Yimou uses this technique in his film, Red Sorghum. In this movie, a young girl, Nine, is married off to older wealthy man in pre-World War II China as told by the girl later in life. The color red is used as a symbol for the girls passion. After being married off to the rich man, Nine travels in a red sedan chair to her marriage. Almost everything she is wearing is red. She is wearing red shoes and looking through a red veil. While she is riding in this, she looks outside to look at the shirtless men who are carrying her. She is immediately attracted one of the carriers, whose name is Yu. She looks at him by pushing aside the red curtains the amount of red in this scene symbolizes the passion between Nine and Yu. During this the peasant carriers are all teasing Nine and rocking the sedan. This further emphasizes the pas

What is Magic of Love? It defines Magic as art. Love is simply too valuable to lose. It's the motivation and the reason for living. Who experienced that kind of love,givesmagic feeling for your partner. It's easy to say those words, and easy to read them but its hard to get the real love you wish to be. When I read the Magic of Love byFarries. I felt every single word she had written. Almost she described my feeling in little words. Its faith, optimism, and emotion. Farries states, Like a star in the night, it can keep your faith bright (I. 5).On other words the love like something above you, and it has power on your faith.When I was alone, I felt lost. I really did not believe of happiness. Everyone has own life. I did not care about anything, because nothing valuable in my life. Before I met my wife, my life was boring, and nothing interesting in it. I can say that no future and no hope.After I found my soul, my life became different. I care of my life now, Im trying to m

Katy Perrys incredible indulging song changes the feelings of children all over the world. Through her lyrics, Katy expresses what every human being has gone through in a moment of their life. Through Katys support the song transforms the lives of others and creates a turning point for them. The advice that Katy offers has kids believing again, and believing that they are worth something. There are too many critical moments in this world that causes children to not believe anymore. Its just like Walt Disney says, If you can dream it you can do it but people today are finding it hard to believe in their dreams. When we feel like a plastic bag or a house of cards, so thin, lost trying to find a purpose. Wanting to be useful again but then fall back down time after time. Buried deep in pain, and frustration. Loosing hope, minutes at a time than seconds. Katys song inspires us to never look down. Find a way to get back up, believe in all things possible, keep the hope, believe in it, and

Bobby HrickoMr. YasinskasEnglish II, 720 November 2012Reflections on the Myth of Orpheus and EurydiceThe myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, which is a tragic myth, was chosen for this essay not because of sentimental feelings for the popular conception of love present between Orpheus and Eurydice, but for the unique circumstances of the myth, the talent of Orpheus, the aspect of true love present, and the realistic conclusion of the story. (Core 21) (Core 4)The myth begins with the birth of Orpheus to Apollo, the god of the sun and music, and to the Muse Calliope, an inspirer of the arts. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Orpheus was a wonderful musician. Whether he sang or played the lyre, his music was so powerful and beautiful that even trees and rocks were influenced by it. One day he met a beautiful woman named Eurydice, and after a period of courting they realized that they loved each other very much, and became married. It was predicted, however, that their marriage would not l

"Rear Window" Relationships In 1954 Alfred Hitchcock released "Rear Window," a film about a famous photographer stuck in a wheelchair due to an accident suffered while on the job. This photographer's name is L.B. Jefferies he spends his days spying on his neighbors out of the rear window of his New York apartment. His only regular visitors are Stella, "a plain-talking insurance company nurse" (Rosenbaum) who gives Jeff her opinion whether he wants it or not, and his girlfriend Lisa Freemont, an uptown fashion mogul who wants to take their relationship towards marriage. In this film Hitchcock uses the character of L.B. Jefferies to show that one can base his relationship on what they see from viewing others, because there are many different types of relationships and not one of them is exactly the same. The opening scene of the film pans around the courtyard where the entire film is shot. In this sequence we are introduced to all the different character

There are many questions that can be posed when speaking of right and wrong what determines whether ones actions are right or wrong, what exactly right and wrong are, and why actions must be judged as either right or wrong? All three questions can be answered with the statement that the only universal absolute is that all things are relative. The previous statement may seem to be a paradox, but with closer examination it is evident that what is true for all human beings is that there are no truths. A prime example used in the debate on what constitutes right or wrong actions is Ryunosuke Akutagawas Rashomon. The story takes place in twelfth-century Kyoto, Japan with the main character as a former servant of a noble samurai warrior, who was forced to take refuge from the rain underneath the Rashomon, a large gate. It was at the Rashomon that he found an old woman making wigs out of the hair of the corpses of those that had been left there. He confronted the old woman who was committing,

The Unholy CrusadeReligion is a canopy under which American culture andsociety thrives. Its extension reaches the boundaries ofsuch cultural mainstreams as movies, television, andmusic. Oliver Stone's 1986 war film Platoon is an exampleof the religious subtleties and overtones that appear invarious American genres. Stone not only uses religiousthemes to portray the Vietnam War, but manipulates the warto show the decadence of American society. Throughout history, man has traveled the world, andconquered nations, in order to force one religion onanother. America was founded by Spain's attempt to spreadChristianity to the new world. Although Spain was themost powerful nation at the time, their attempt to spreadChristianity on less civilized people came to a fatal enddue to the explorers' detrimental actions. The moviePlatoon reenacts this theme in a modern true life event.After World War II, America demonstrated itself to bearguably the most powerful nation. When communismthre

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. I liked how this movie created a funny atmosphere without being overly comedic where the point is not able to come across. I also enjoyed the hint of a spiritual aspect to the movie. I thought it was very thought provoking the way that they intentionally made this movie reflect God and his creation. An example of this can be seen in the way that they named the TV show producer. His name was Christof. The name Christof has the name Christ in it. In the movie Christof acted a bit like Christ in the way that he controlled everything on the show. Another way that the movie reflected God and creation can be seen in the way that the TV show was set up. An example of this can be seen in the way that the set was set up like a real city. Christof created the world in which Truman lived in. The last way that this can be seen is the way that Christof was able to change the weather, when the sun rose, and the characters actions just by saying so. This reflects

Career Research EssayUnderstanding how to maintain healthy skin and learning about different skin diseases has always been a passion of mine. For many years, I have been intrigued by the field of dermatology and have often envisioned myself having a career in this industry. Ranked after Neurology and Cardiology, Dermatology is the third most difficult field to become a physician. Since the field is so competitive, I have interest in becoming a physicians assistant working in a dermatology clinic. In order to learn more about the role of a physicians assistant with an emphasis in dermatology, I have conducted my research in the field of Dermatology, Physician Assistants and then focused on Dermatology PA.Margaret, Parsons.

Meridian By Alice WalkerIn this compelling novel by Alice Walker, Meridian, the main character, grows upthrough the eyes of the reader. The author shows us the emotional, physical, andpsychological stages of resistance that Meridian goes through during the heightof the civil rights movement. In fact, if one looks at the life of Alice Walker,the author of the novel, similarities undeniably exist between the two women.First let us examine the early signs of resistance in Meridian. One of the firstobvious examples of Meridian's individuality is when she rejects religion at avery young age despite her mother's devout Christian beliefs. In school, sheis unable to finish a speech because she knows that there is no truth in thewords she speaks. "Meridian was trying to explain to her mother that for thefirst time she really listened to what she was saying, knew she didn't believeit, and was so distracted by this revelation that she could not make the rest ofher speech."

During the summer of 2012 I went to a restaurant in Colorado Springs called Fargos. It is a family run restaurant that has been in the Springs since the 1940s and has gained quite a following. Fargos has been a top spot to take tourists, or just to take the family for a nice dinner. In this review I am going to express the pros and cons and my personal view on the famous Colorado Springs restaurant. From the outside of the restaurant Fargos looks like a very classy restaurant that would be very expensive. However, this might be the case because the restaurant is in a terrible location. Surrounded by a lot of unflattering one bedroom houses, one has to take in consideration how good the restaurant looks compared to the houses. Once you walk into the lobby of the restaurant, you are instantly taken back by the amazing wall designs, and luxurious couches all while walking on red carpet to get to the seating. The restaurant has two stories of seating and could easily fit around 300 people.

Rodriguez Ideological DevelopmentRichard Rodriguezs book Days of Obligation develops two cultural perspectives in order to compare and contrast them. In an excerpt, Rodriguez explores the dichotomy between the new California and the more ancient Mexico, how he fits in this scenario, and the turmoil he faces from having to subscribe to one ideology. To both convey and contrast his conflicted feelings, Rodriguez develops Mexico as a classical tragedy and California as a comedy to extrapolate on their complexity and irony.Rodriguez begins by setting up his reasoning for the assignment of the terms comedy and tragedy. He first asserts that California is a classical Greek comedy, where one has the possibility to start anew. California is a comedy because it is Individualistic and has many freedoms. California was shaped by the Protestant north where individualism reigned. Also, one could immigrate to California to escape past rivalries, alluding to the Capulets and McCoys to imply even the

As most people know, horse racing is a contest of speed between two or more horses. Usually thoroughbred. To most people it would seem that horse-racing was the purest sport imaginable. With tracks monitored by overlapping cameras and gates controlled by computers, it seems like the honest man's game. Horse-racing is a 15 billion dollar a year industry and the 2nd most widely attended spectator sport after baseball. It started around 4500 bc in central Asia and for thousands of years was the sport of kings and nobility. The main reason horse-racing is still around today is for the legalized gambling. Horse-racing is a major professional sport in Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and the U.S. The most popular form of racing is thoroughbred racing. But other forms of racing are harness racing, steeple chase racing, and quarter horse racing. The legalized gambling is the main reason for horse racings long life. All the betting done

Why do people accept and follow traditions? The Lottery by Shirley Jackson tells an eye-opening story of a tradition that seems far fetched but is riddled with truths of human emotion and social practices. In Jacksons fictional society, there is an annual lottery in every village to determine who will be sacrificed. In this years lottery, the Hutchinson household picks the marked paper, and the mother, Tessie, is the unfortunate sacrifice. Through a long-established tradition, The Lottery showcases what people are really capable of and what motivates them.Superstition is the original motive for the annual killing. The longest living resident, Old Man Warner, gives the only explanation for the lottery saying, used to be a saying about Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon (142). At the traditions origin, it was believed that after the sacrifice the village would have prosperity and good luck. Much of the ritual has been forgotten and no longer practiced, but the drawing and killing conti

To Kill a Mockingbird is definitely an excellent novel in that it portrays life and the role of racism in the 1930 s. A reader may not interpret several aspects in and of the book through just the plain text. Boo Radley, Atticus, and the title represent three such things. Not really disclosed to the reader until the end of the book, Arthur "Boo" Radley plays an important role in the development of both Scout and Jem. In the beginning of the story, Jem, Scout, and Dill fabricate horror stories about Boo. They find Boo as a character of their amusement, and one who has no feelings whatsoever. They tried to get a peep at him, just to see what Boo ooked like. Scout connects Boo with the Mockingbird. Mrs. Maudie defines a mockingbird as one who " don t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don t eat up people s gardens, don t nest in corncribs, they don t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us" (94). Boo is exactly that. Boo

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" Essay The Romantic period, which lasted from 1780 to 1837, was a time of innovation and imagination, especially in the field of literature (hearts-ease.org). Not only was literature changing, but so was the whole world. There was a strong sense of nationalism, self-expression, questions were asked, and people were more concerned with beauty than logic. "The Lyrical Ballads" was the first romantic piece published, and paved the way for the Romantic Movement which left a lasting impact on literature, culture, and way of life. After the joint effort of William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge in the creation of "The Lyrical Ballads," Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" in the 1790s. Coleridge used his imagination to create brilliant imagery, supernatural beings, writing that was abstract rather than realistic, and themes of nature. All of these elements combined to create the most renowned poem

One of the best songs of Ludacris is Runaway love feat Mary J Blige. This song is about three girls that decided to run away from home. Each one of the three verses of athe songis telling the troubles in the lives of threerunawayfemalepreadolescents a nine-year-old named Lisa, a ten-year-old named Nicole, and an eleven-year-old named Erika each ending up running away to escape from their problems. My first reaction to this song was surprising and unusual because I never thought that Ludacris could make a song like this. I was surprised because Inoticed that the subject of violence against women had already been addressed in previous hip-hopsongs but not like Ludacris did in his song. In the first verse of the song where explain the life of Lisa. A nine-year-old girl, who had never met her family or father, has a mother who is addicted to drugs and brings home men at different hours of the night. When her mom is knocked out from the drugs, the men that her mother brought hom

Samneric Goldings novel, Lord of the Flies, is an illusive example of human behavior. His characters range from the mild and intelligent Simon, to the aggressive and fierceful Jack. In-between are such characters as Ralph, Piggy, and the littluns. By developing these three groups of characteristics, we can categorize most human traits. Yet some exceptions exist. Not all human characteristics can possibly be classified into only these three categories. Samneric fall under these exceptions. And so, we make for them their own category, people who allow themselves to be caught up in fear and hysteria. Numerous examples exist throughout history of people who fall under the Samneric category. The most commonly known is the good Germans. In like manner of Samneric, the good Germans allowed themselves to go against their natural good instincts for fear of unbearable consequences. In the early 1940s, when Hitler was in power, Germany was divided. Several people rebelled against Hitlers ideas o

Science Fiction, succinctly defined, is a literary genre generally characterized in form as a world of exaggerated drama which argues a social commentary using current scientific knowledge as its evidence. From the emergence in the 18th century of modern Science Fiction to the 'birth of the book' in the 19th century, each period is distinct, yet at times similar, in their respective techniques of elucidation. From the 18th century, Voltaire's Micromegas, in its highly ironical form, is a perfect demonstration of the time's combination of satire and alienation while from the 19th century, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, is a parody of gothic literature and of Oedipus Rex. Ultimately, 18th century Science Fiction uses satire and alienation while 19th century Science Fiction deals mainly with a parody of the Oedipus Complex .In Micromegas, Voltaire uses science to present the philosophic notion that there is an absurdity to human beliefs and acti

Dr. Richler Examines the Human Flaws The novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler is a satirical novel that examines many prominent human flaws. Many of these flaws are satirized through the characters in The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Richler uses Mr. Friar, Mr. Cohen and Duddy Kravitz to satirize three specific human flaws Richler uses Friar to satirize artistic pretension, Cohen to satirize unscrupulous business practice and Duddy to satirize jealousy and greed. Richler uses Mr. Friar, a self proclaimed artiste, to satirize artistic pretension. Friar believes himself to be an artiste but he is nothing more than washed up communist. When Friar is talking to Duddy about the movie deal he keeps saying that he doesn't want Duddy to get involved with the artistic side of it. "I will tolerate no interference with my artistic integrity,"(116). Friar wants to consider himself an artiste so he says things like this to seem like an artist, a professio

In the film Silver Linings Playbook, the main character Pat Solitano--who is diagnosed with bi-polar disorder--is attempting to reconnect with his wife Nikki after a psychotic episode put him in a mental hospital. However, Nikki filed a restraining order against him. The beginning of the film shows Pat being released from the hospital to go live with his parents.

The scene begins with Pat and Tiffany entering a diner that immediately sets the mood as dark, mellow, and even a little uncomfortable. The diners fluorescent lighting washes out the color and draws attention to the drab, practically colorless furniture in the diner. Thi

Uniform, it means a distinctive outfit intended to identify those who wear is a member of a specific group. Students should wear a uniform so that the school can become a group that every student can be allowed to be a member of. So that they can all unite and form a community. If kids feel that they belong to that community, they would cut down on worrying about popularity or about having trendy or up to date clothes. They would learn to look on the inside rather than on the outside of their classmates. Kids would also cut down on splitting in to the have and the have-not groups. This would lead to the not so rich kids to stop worrying about their clothes. The main fact is that uniforms can aid in eliminating the focus on other things, and maybe start focusing on their studies and on receiving the proper education. When it comes down to things receiving an education is why were in school for in the first place, not for fashion reasons. Safety in schools is a major issue these days. Va

Throughout the novel, there are instances of both violent and more refinedsexual references. While an obvious reason for these is the titillating effectsof them, there are deeper, more relevant reasons for them. There are three maingroups within which the sexual activity takes place Father and Mother, YoungerBrother and Evelyn Nesbit, and Harry Houdini and Harry K. Thaw. Some are moreobvious and explicit than others, but they all have great purpose. The sexualactivity between Father and Mother is used to define their relationship, sexualactivity by Younger Brother is used as a replacement for violence, and the onescene between Houdini and Thaw is used to elucidate the difference between theclasses. The sexual activity that is most relevant to the story line occurs inthe relationship between Father and Mother. While these scenes definitely implysexual activity, they are definitely not as intense as the erotic scenes betweenother characters. After their relationship has been analyzed, on

This week's large group lecture consisted of a very interesting speech from Deb Notsky. She is a professor at Syracuse University. She spoke to us about the topics of participation and networking. She told us a lot about participation. She gave us her grading structure for participation which consisted of an A being weekly in-class participation, B is regular participation, a C is occasional participation, and a D is no-class participation. She explained that participation is one of the most important parts of a class and especially in college courses. She for the most part talked to us about networking. She told us about Carly Fiorina the CEO and president of Hewlett Packard. She went over emerging forces, future expectations, a networked economy, and skills needed in a network economy. She basically presented this to us through basic discussion and a number of overhead slides. I enjoyed listening to Professor Notsky speak. She was very enthusiastic which created a very comforta

Have you ever heard, I saw you last night on Grand Avenue at seven p.m., but you werent there at that time? Well what if the same person thought they saw you shoot someone? This is exactly what happened to Shaka Sankofa. Sankofa was put to death based on the testimony of one witness, who identified him from her car in a parking lot, forty feet away, in the darkness of night, in the shooting of a grocery clerk. No murder weapon was found, and two other credible witnesses say that Sankofa was not the killer both were employees of the store and came within close contact of the killer on the night of the murder. These witnesses never saw the witness stand (Essence Magazine). This fact raises questions about Sankofas court appointed lawyer. In fact, Ronald G. Mock had been disciplined five times by the Texas bar association for a breakdown in the adversarial system of justice. If Sankofa had a better lawyer would he be a free man? If he could afford one would the other two credible w
