Maybe Tomorrow is a biographical memoir that tells the story of Boori Monty Pryor. The events in the book journey, with the author as he seeks to reclaim his aboriginal identity and culture, while also reconciling with history and trauma that has occurred and never loosing hope. Although, this book is a biographical memoir, it is not written in typical manner expected of one. Instead it comes across as more intimate and personal narrative, as though the author himself is having a conversation with you personally. Which was apparent throughout the entire book in aspects such as how he delivers his story. The tone used through out the narrative is often sharp and direct. Pryor, get to the point very quickly and he’s blunt with his delivery, no matter how hard or uncomfortable the subject matter maybe. An example of this is in the very first chapter, Pryor begins the story by detailing a very vivid image of deaths that have occurred in his family through suicide. He doesn’t sugar coat details of these deaths because they represent a reality that is far too common for many aboriginal families. A reality that is often censored, or sugar coated by mainstream society. While these events as well as many others in the book are difficult for the author to recount they form an idea of the struggles he has endured, the failures, tragedies and humiliations he has had to overcome. As well as the success and triumphs along the way because they are all a part of his story, not one that is
Dreams concerning the foreknowledge of future events has been recorded throughout history. These premonitions have predicted events ranging from the Bibles account of Joseph interpreting the Pharaoh of Egypt’s dream. To the ancient dream worker Artemidorous claim that a dream of sleeping with one’s own mother predicted the death of the dreamer. To the more recent historical account of a student at John F. Kennedy’s University having a series of dreams that provided images of the perfect new location of a future art building (Krippner, Bogzaran, & Carvalho, 2002).

Julia Fincher in the article, The Future Four: Why Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Have Four Members in 2020, states that in 2020 the Olympic Gymnastics committee will be cutting the team sizes down from five to four members. This is a disadvantage and an advantage and can be argued from both sides, this article argues from both points of view.
To begin with, Nanny was compassionate about Janie because she want Janie to succeed in life. Hurston wrote “Waiting for the world to be made” (Hurston,11).

In my opinion I say Janie should just mak her Nanny
Do you believe in forgiveness or second chances? When asked this question most seem to say yes. Everyone makes mistakes. A quote by Alexander Pope comes to mind, “to err is human, to forgive is divine.” But what really happens? On social media forgiveness and second chances seem to be thrown out the window. Jonah Lehrer, a well-known blogger, author, and contributor, was about to answer for his transgressions of plagiarism and fabrications. Michael Moynihan, a journalist, was about to leak negative information about the book Imagine by Jonah Lehrer and told Lehrer, “I just want you to know that it makes me feel like shit to do this.”(p27) Michael was in a position to muckrake and felt wrong. Jonah continuously embellished and plagiarized his publications. “But at the time didn’t think it was wrong.” (p60) Jonah Lehrer should suffer the consequences of his wrongdoings, but to what extent should the world go
Antonio’s six-word story slide “I’ll just do it all tomorrow” is conveying through his words and images the idea that sometimes you ignore your problems when there too much to handle. Antonio shows this build up of work by using an image that’s filled with paperwork. The work is unorganized which suggests that it isn’t worth doing.
Others on the other hand, may argue an individuals future is determined by their genetics not by the environment the person sorounds themselves with. Wes supports their argument in that he barely knows his father, however ends up fufilling his fathers destiny by also being absent in his childrens lives. Additionally, to being absent in his childrens lives, he continues to see other women despite having children with Alicia and Cheryl. Additionally, Tony, Wes’s older brother, has been dealing drugs before the age of ten. Wes, following in his brothers foot steps, falls into theh same lifestyle, dealing drugs. Moore states, “And the drug game was everywhere…This is where Tony chose to spend his days,” ( ). Although, Wes follows in Tony’s footsteps,
South Vietnam declared Independence in 1955 and hence, the Republic of Vietnam was born. Under the Eisenhower administration, as an attempt to avoid Communism spreading from North to South Vietnam, substantial funds were provided. However, under the Kennedy administration, against advisers advise, not only money was increased, but also military aid. Not until 1964 when American ground troops were fired on by North Vietnamese did it turn from a Vietnamese civil war to an international war.
A wise man once told me, “If you can believe it, you can achieve it.” I am a firm believer in dreaming big. If Martin Luther King Jr. was being ‘realistic’ at the time of his existence, segregation would have more than likely still be a normality in society. Big dreaming promotes creativity, intellectual growth in society and emphasizes hard work.
Tom was able to positively experience the “here and now” when he and Mary make love for the first time. In that moment he was able to feel the sensual attitude that radiated from that little time. He also had a negative experience with living in the “here and now” when he realizes that he is looking at Freddie Parr’s death body floating in the river. Living in the “here and now” allows for humans to experience both the love and terror that comes along with it. Price, Tom’s rebellious student also questions the need for human to drive themselves to excruciating pain in order to come to terms with the ways of the past in order to conduct their present situations. Tom also describes loving in the “here and now” on many different levels. He states

Tomorrow is another day, another battle to live. As the day progresses, each moments become a vision of hope but perchance a motivation to achieve that happiness. I grow up from a small town or what we call then “barrio”, I have dreamed of so many things as a young child then. Dreams that are blurred in a heavy snow, dreams that were as colorful as the autumn leaves. As a young girl, I believe in it! I built my hopes on those clouds every summer when the bamboo leaves are rustling against the
Imagine living in a world that was perfect, with no problems or worries. Aldous Huxley in his novel Brave New World shows us how it’s like living in a perfect world. The novel takes place in the future, where people are fertilized, instead of being born. They are born to be perfect and not deal with problems. Their castes are predetermined, where they’re conditioned to do whatever their caste is supposed to do to contribute to society. Most people follow the rules, but their are a few who question them. Huxley is conveying the message that creating a perfect world can come with many obstacles or problems, such as: people being brainwashed, problems with the genetic makeup of people, and not everyone being happy.
If you read back to my " Beyond Tomorrow" stories you will see that I have listed this particular occurrence within my writings. I could never make up my mind whether this phenomenon was one of supernatural or indeed the possibility of extraterrestial activity. Who knows? When something strange happens that you cannot explain, the mind gets carried away. But, when a real physical effect is seen, the aftermath of something that's left it's mark - what are you to believe then? The UFO that never was? It was a strange time, that summer. It was around 1994-1995 (I can only go on the fact that my baby son was about three years old) He's sort of involved in this story as it was because of him that I was up and about during the early hours of the mornings during that summer. He always woke up during each night, requiring a top up of his drink bottle and an obligatory visit to the bathroom. Nothing unusual there except, on one such night I became aware that my son was talking to "someone" as I approached his room. On entering I asked him who he had been talking to? He told me that he was talking to his friend. I was so tired that I just ignored this but, immediately became aware of how bright his room was. This was unsual as his room had "black out" blinds upon the windows. Undeterred, I dutifully took his beaker with me down to the kitchen for a refill. As I walked back through the house to the staircase, I suddenly realised that I was walking around without any lights on- I
