Acclaimed author, Dale Maharidge, sets out to explore the transition of a small rural town that began as a homogenous community descended from Western European immigrants and how it transformed as immigrants from South and Central America moved in. The relationship between the growing Hispanic population and the established European citizens consisted of mixed feelings. However, through Maharidge’s work, he is advancing the suggestion that the future of this small Iowan town depends on its ability to welcome immigration. Using kairos, Mahridge seizes the historical significance of the strike at Farmland, a meatpacking plant, to show how immigration may as well be Denison’s only hope. The Latino immigrants were willing to perform grueling work

“The spirit of an age sometimes descends to future generations in the form of a man… the spirit which works through masses of

The Laredo Police Department was created in February 9, 1850. Its original name was “City Marshal” but changed during the 20th Century. Before it was created, Laredo had its own Vigilance Committee of citizens. They were like a modern day police officer. Their purpose was to protect the law and tracked down marauders. Today this Vigilance Committee is now known as Laredo Crime Stoppers; a program where citizens get rewarded for providing valid information to the police.

At this time, the author maintains, we have two kinds of lives. There is the natural life and the spiritual life and they are opposed to each other. The natural life knows that if the spiritual life got a hold of it, all its self-centeredness and its self-will would be killed. Therefore, it fights for its life. The author compares this to a child who tries to bring to life his toy tin soldier, but the toy soldier did not want to be alive. So, just like us, it would rebel. Because the toy soldier likes the tin, he would think that you are killing him if you tried to change him. Similarly, man has some things about him that he likes, and probably wants to keep. He, too, may become obstinate even if God tried to change him. The author explains, however, that God sent this one man through whom all other men could become a Son of God, and the natural man would have to change for this process to take place. Man could resist, but the opportunity is still there for

While reading chapter twenty six Hendrick was trying to refresh everything he has taught us in the previous chapters. Subjects like observation interpretation and application were mentioned by Hendrick. Also ways they can be used in verses, paragraphs, and large sections. Hendrick also refers to the 5 clues that can help us understand the Bible. Clues such as things that are emphasized, repeated, related, alike, and unlike. Likewise, the use of charts was also a tool that was very beneficial in deciphering large Bible sections. Therefore, Hendrick wants us to gather the previous tools and techniques he has given us and use them to start fresh on observing a section.

This pushes him to an extreme emotional limit because it represents that his entire life had been a lie and his former noble existence was all false. His desperate attempt to free himself from the world and from knowledge expresses a universal idea that humans are still unknowing and insignificant when compared to the greater spectrum of life. This relates to the theme because it shows that even though the search and curiosity of knowledge is natural, transgressing the limits can be dangerous because sometimes knowledge can be too much of a burden for humankind to handle, however inevitable, necessary, and inescapable it may be.

First, he presents the idea of the creator as the tortured soul. He mentions Prometheus being punished for bringing fire to mankind, he mentions the inventor of the wheel, being torn apart, with his own invention being used against him, consequently generating the feeling of sympathy for creators. Next, the creator is painted as superior, he relies on no man, for man had rejected him, the creator works for himself, and for his craft. This puts every man in the room in the position of the inferior. It is now understood throughout the courtroom, that Howard Roark is the superior, and he demands to be listened to. Following this, he speaks of individuality, he preys on the fears and the hopes of the average, renouncing the masses, for the masses have never loved a creator. Sequently, Roark speaks of altruism, and it dangers, it’s harms, in a time with Hitler in power, a war being fought in the name of democracy and peace, this would be especially effective; everyone in that courtroom probably knew someone who had died for the altruism he spoke of. He then speaks of the purity of the creator and the self, “The creator is not concerned with disease, but with life.” (Rand 682). He talks of independence and dependence, and its influence on humanity. Then he introduces the idea of the parasite, the second hand, the rulers, and explains that they are the destroyers of the ego. Finally,

He is shut inside a room agonizing because of the effects of the withdrawal, because of the strict restriction to alcohol.

And, this time, moreover; the writer will describe our times as a period of the common age; where the knowledge which comes from its entire possible points forms a unity which pervades our sensory faculties. An experience which man attains from his environs as part or as one in its entirety leads to an idiosyncratic manner, behaving and accessing their intellectual properties. Nevertheless, dear friend, as you explore those virtual fields where their voices reminisce (as our predecessors stir the earth that concealed their visages), you shall meet his people.

Furthermore, from my perspective, he tried to let us know what did not kill us, make us stronger. We make mistake and learn, then we will get the experiences that can help us in our future. We can not change what happen now, in fact, we should embrace present and appreciate what it teach us.
