Analysis Of The Book ' Chapter Eighty '

In his book Elijah Anderson tries to describe how life is, living in a black poor community in an American town known as Inner-city. In this area everyone is struggling financially and seem distant from the rest of America. The main social class in this town is the “decent” and the “street” families as the community has labeled them. The labeling by the local is as a result of social contest between the inhabitants. The line between a decent and street family is usually very thin, it’s based on a family evaluation of itself labeling itself decent and the other street. The irony is that families bearing a street label may value itself as decent and still valuing other families’ street. However, this labels form the basis of understanding inner-city community lifestyle. The community has many of the white society middle class values but they know the values don’t hold water in the street. They say it does not provide the attitude of a person who can take care of themselves in the street.

He walked on the tracks. And he was surprised to learn how certain he suddenly was of a single fact he could not prove. His mind turned to a strange noise he heard behind him. A loud gasping sound overwhelmed his ears and his body slowly turned around. Montag was shocked to see that Beatty was following him. With the flamethrower in hand, Montag walked cautiously towards the man who should be died. They stared at each other for what feels like years but seconds. Beatty falls to the ground with burn marks on a quarter of his body and begins to speak. “You are going the wrong way” Beatty says “You were supposed to turn left 25 yards back.” Montag look confused and asked “Where are you helping me?” “I believe in the same cause as you” said Beatty. Without asking another question, Montag walks to Beatty and reaches out his hand and walked 25 yards.

Walking with his new group, farther and farther away from the city, Montag realized he couldn't just leave his old life the way he did, he had to go back,not only for himself, but for Faber he needed closer. Montag ran back to the river and dove in, fighting the current ever stroke he took until he reached land. Seeing the city destroyed, the town he grew up in, all he could thing about was Faber, Mildred, and Clarrise. Walking down the side walks, fire pouring down buildings in the corner of his eyes, his memories flashed before him as he saw the sprinklers still on in Faber's property. Opening the front door, the handles still silky from the alcohol on them, he saw Faber lying on the ground in the hallway. All Montag could

In the book A Long Way Gone the children are being stripped of their childhood. They do not get to experience the carefree childhood that most children have. They deserve to be having fun with their families and and not be scared and alone while being dragged into the war. A quote from the book that really explains how the children are living a stressful childhood is “I was afraid to fall asleep, but staying awake also brought back painful memories.” These children should not be sleep deprived nor terrified to fall asleep, this will cause growing problems for the child. They will not have all the physical and mental growth they need in life especially if they constantly stressed. Another example of them not having a carefree childhood is they’re

In chapter 1, M. Scott Peck is the author I found the most compelling in terms of his argument. I found Peck’s view the most compelling because thinking of reality like a map is something I never thought could make so much sense. Now thinking of reality as a map I can see I need to continuously revise how I value things in life based on new expectations, findings, and social values. For example, on the topic of gays and lesbians back in my Parents’ Day people thought that being gay or lesbian is a choice of life but with new scientific data, it could be something someone is born with. Therefore, there is a need to revise one’s map. In chapter 2, George E. Saint-Laurent is most in line with my current worldview because I also believe that religion

You make an excellent point with stating it does not matter what level of management an individual is, there are points when management interact with others outside of their own department. In the book Collins says, “Hard-working, conscientious, caring and moral managers who generate high-quality performance outcomes tend to attract, develop, and promote hard-working, conscientious, caring and moral employees who generate high-quality performance outcomes”. An example of this is during college while working in a call center, we always had divided department teams for different departments, and however we were also a department as a call center whole. Managers who had these qualities always seemed to hire the best employees. Those

People that have helped Layton “see” that which he had not seen, “love” what he once considered unlovable, and “be” in an often imperfect world are his mother, Aunt Sue, his Grandmother, Uncle Jimmy, friends, people he encounters in his life, and famous black individuals. There are many that are found in the book.

December 6. The weather is getting worse and worse. Clothing freezes on our bodies. We haven’t eaten or slept in three days. Fritz is telling me about a conversation he heard: the soldiers prefer to defect or surrender to captivity. . . .”

As the dust settled and the sky’s cleared we were left with the horrific realization that our nation has been attacked. This would be September 11, 2001, or better known as 9-11. This day, I believe, was one of the most if not most traumatic days in our nation’s history.

Even though the first P.F. Chang 's opened in 1993, the story really began way back in the 1960s. It started with a lady named Cecilia Chiang running a flourishing and wildly successful Chinese restaurant named The Mandarin. In 1974, she opened a second location in posh Beverly Hills, feeding celebrities the likes of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The celebration we see in the media of celebrity chefs today really started with Cecelia Chang. She was indeed a pioneer.

Bataille also speaks about the relationships between men and animals. In the world we live in, animals such as Axolotl can be thought to have as having not autonomy, “they will seek elements around it which are immanent to it and which it must establish relations of immanence to nourish itself, if it fails it suffers and dies” . It is possible that even the subtle interaction that the axolotl has with the man, can be thought as the act of establishing an immanent relationship to be able to keep on living in this world. Therefore one can discern that the Axolotl, just like any other animal has no autonomy in relation to the rest of the world.

Werther is known by those known to him as very intelligent, wealthy, and passionate. He does not work because he doesn 't need to. He sees himself as an upperclassman but still helps others around him. Werther is engrossed into his studies and works of literature. He finds pleasure in getting lost in his long novels or poetry. He was a very civil man with little to be unsatisfied about. He seemed to be stable in the beginning but that took a quick turn for the worst.

Zhuangzi is one of the few defining figures of Chinese Taoism. He was probably the author of only some parts of the text that is found today and considered as a source of inner spirituality. The chapters are only the first seven chapters of the text. Most of his work was written and compiled by other thinkers and followers of his who had similar views yet different speculative bearings. The work of the founding figures of Taoism when compared is a puzzle. The life of Zhuangzi can only be surmised from the present text. However, the text fails to provide confirmation to the traditional story which has been speculated upon for centuries. Archeological evidence and discoveries, on the contrary, make it plausible that Zhuangzi was the

The Dustbin of History I. When in dire times all hope expires fate may fain the jester play and lease another act upon those characters who have outpaced their day. Here then stands an Emperor who once commanded mountain tops and ocean waves to subordinate their wills and strength to his design perforce disarmed, but not prostrate. Oh, woe betide that nameless thing who rained upon the continent the cannonballs and thunderbolts of titans drunk upon democracy that warped with praxis’ caveats.

The “The Principle” was lithographed in 1918 by the artist named “Oskar Kokoschka”. The Principle is a stationary, bust sculpture like lithograph that depicts a sad laughing clown. The lithograph seems like it takes place in a large bare room with the clown bust gazing up and to the right of the room as if is pondering or thinking and has been for a very long time which gives the bust like lithography life.
