James life, causes him to struggle with his self-actualization because he does not know who he is or his true identity. However, because he knows so little about his own life, he is led to ask questions and find out answers. “Yet I myself had no idea who I was. I loved my mother yet I looked nothing like her. Neither did I look like the role-models in my life” (91). The only way he figures out who he is, is by asking questions and finding bits and pieces of information. He struggles greatly with himself, and the only way for him to know himself is to know his mother. This gets back to the idea that the parallelism between him and his mother, or chapters 9 and 10, helps him in his

One of the themes was the burden of secrets that were kept. As a young boy, James knew very little about his mother’s childhood background. James’s mother Ruth discouraged his curiosity about her past and her background. She really never wanted her kids to know the things that she went through as a child and as a young adult. She was ashamed of the things that she went through, so she kept everything inside.What I think is going to happen is that James is that he is gonna have to realize that he can not be out doing drugs and skipping school. also he is going to have to grow up really fast.

This is fueled by, not only the changing emotions that teenagers typically endure, but also by the death of his stepfather, whom he saw as his own father. After his death, James cannot bear to see his mother suffer, for she no longer knows how to control the dynamics of the family and "wandered in an emotional stupor for nearly a year." James instead turns to alcohol and drugs, dropping out of school to play music and go around with his friends, which James refers to as "my own process of running, emotionally disconnecting myself from her, as if by doing to I could keep her suffering from touching me." Instead of turning to his family and becoming "the king in the house, the oldest kid," James "spent as much time away from home as possible… absolve[ing] [himself] of all responsibility…" As a result, Ruth sends James to live with his older half sister and her husband, in an attempt to straighten her out her son's life. James distracts himself with the life he found there, spending the summers on a street corner with his half sister's husband, Big Richard, whom he adores, and the unique men that frequented the area. During these summers, James discovers "[He] could hide. No one knew [him]. No one knew [his] past, [his] white mother, [his] dead father, nothing. It was perfect. [His] problems seemed far, far away." Instead of facing the realities of loss and anger in his family, James seeks distractions

In one of the chapters “you: helping hand” wants to know what would you do if you went to a place where you hate the smell, you hate the feeling of being sad when you enter the room, but go because you love your grandfather and it might be the last time you see him. Imagine you give your grandfather a tube of lip balm and his hands begin to tremble, but he can't control his hands to put it on. You feel stuck; you want to help him, but you are just frozen. You know your grandfather being strong and independent all your life, you don’t want to take that from him, but you don’t want to see him suffer. “He drops his hand, and the tube of lip balm rolls onto the blanket in front of him.

One might ask how do you differentiate between two Kings? what makes a “good” King? As historians it is important to note that values today do not have the same connotation as a great leader. Qualities of a superior medieval King include being successful in warfare; loyalty to ones followers; being religious and trying to convert others to Christianity; and 1have charisma. Einhard and Asser wrote very informative biographies about their chosen King describing their great attributes.

At this point Sister James was having doubts about her doubts. She did not want to believe that Father Flynn was having relations with a student and was having nightmares that kept her up at night. She tells Flynn that she does not believe he did it, but is still torn between sides. She even declares Aloysius has “taken [her] joy of teaching.” All of this shows us that Sister James has been hurt by this crusade. She has been changed, and not for the better. Her doubts have warped her mind to the point that she can’t be certain about

Queen Elizabeth was only a newborn when her father killed her mother. Then her father sent her away far away across England. Once Elizabeth got a toter and she talked her horse back riding and dance. Once Elizabeth went to school she the smartest and quickest girl in school.

Life washes over those who expect it the least. One moment I was playing with the innocence of time, then life came crashing in and destroyed everything. With water-soaked clothes and tear-streaked cheeks, I returned home with the knowledge that life has no mercy. Life is not fair. Only the sweet sting of reality to my beaten down ego was my companion.

The training has begun and James must do all he can to prepare for the great journey ahead. But with Catherine distracted by her duties as a Princess, he has to rely on himself to get through the Sage Academy. And there’s still so much work to do.

The definition of a good king may vary depending, on one's morals, and values. If a leader has some sort of mental health issue he/she might think in a very corrupt manner, even then usually there are some people that receive benefits from the position a king holds; in that context the people receiving benefits may not think the king is as corrupt as he/she is. In shakespeare's play “Macbeth”, and as well as the epic poem “Beowulf” there are examples of how a “good” or “bad” king should behave. One’s opinion of a king differs, however there is strong evidence that sets near perfect guidelines of how a king should behave. Kings/ leaders should: behave and make decisions in a way that benefits the majority of the people, not just themselves, but most of all they must have good ethics, loyalty, courage, and integrity.

The Mona Lisa has to be one of my favorite paintings of all time and has lead me to use this specific painting as a topic for this paper. Not to mention the love I have for Leonardo da Vinci. I, myself have always been drawn to da Vinci’s paintings and all of his other achievements that he has given us during his life. I, like Leonardo da Vinci love art and science just as much as it seems he did. He shares a love of art and a fondness for science. It also seems that he loves a good mystery, and the Mona Lisa just happens to be one clouded in mystery. And I too love a good mystery.

It takes up about two inches on my thick, and short middle finger. It is relatively small, yet has been proven to have great importance and meaning. This dented, imperfect circle fits loosely, and comfortably which allows for the constant usage and handling. It has a unique, and undefined shape that compliments the small circles within the accessory. There is a band of a perfect line of small circles that runs infinite in the exact middle of the accessory. The thirteen small circles sit in the small seats of metal all in unison and order. Sharp, pointed tips that look like the top of a vintage castle, pull the pendants on the outsides of the line, up and back down. If you cut the jewel in half, the sides are

If the name of King Arthur is mentioned, I suppose what comes to mind is not so much one person as a whole array of characters and themes, a montage so to speak. Of course we do think first of the King, the magnificent monarch of a glorified or idealized medieval realm. But we think also of his Queen, of the fair and wayward Guinevere, we think of his enchanter, Merlin, who presided over his birth, who set him on the throne, who established him there in the early and traveled days of his reign. There were the knights of the Round Table, vowed to the highest ideals of chivalry, and the greatest of them, Sir Lancelot, who, of course, has a tragic love affair with the Queen. There is another great love story, that of Tristan

Queen Elizabeth I Queen Elizabeth, the first, proved to be a very good and loyal monarch to England. She brought about many changes, both good and bad. On September 7, 1533 a baby girl came into the world. Back then many parents would have been greatly disappointed to have had a baby girl, rather then a boy. However these parents were glad by the birth of their first child together. These proud parents were the king and queen of England, King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. The girl child was named Elizabeth. The only reason for the birth of Elizabeth had been that she would have been male so that he could have been the heir to King Henry the VIII. It wasn’t until two years later that Henry realized he wasn’t going to get

When defining a king, personally I think of one whom leads his people to a better life than before, protects his people, and is an individual who is one in the body of Christ (most importantly). However, I consider a great king to be defined as one whom not only protects his people, and leads them to a better life, but actually practices daily being one with Christ, which means to never allow Satan to determine their decisions, actions, etc. A good king, through his stable kingship and Christian walk, would bring his people to stability. Scholar William Scheuerman connects the king’s stability to the people by stating “the history of political and legal thought is replete with ambitious attempts to guarantee that kingship, when
