Crass

Welcome back my friends to the blog that never ends. I’m so glad you could attend Read along! Read along! There inside this class is some prose that’s pretty crass Be careful as you pass. Read along! Read along! Wow! Emerson, Lake and Palmer would be extremely disappointed at my sophomoric attempt at humor to finish our final writing exercise. I must admit that I have struggled to produce original and interesting content for these blogs. Forty-two years ago, I experienced no such dearth of ideas

On the surface, The Great Gatsby is a story of failed love between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. The main theme of the novel, however, is comprised of a much larger, less romantic scope. Fitzgerald portrays the roaring twenties as a time of corroded social and moral values. This is shown by the empty pursuit of pleasure, gluttony, and pure shallowness of the rich. Some of these materialistic views of the societal decay of today can be seen by the rich and famous in everyday life. One example of

She flicked the weapon safety on and slowly lowered it as Jimmy shouted his warning. The pause seemed to take an eternity. A clatter of metal on stone rang across the yard. She tilted her head back to look at the dark form of the man, David. His crass words made her ears burn. Worse than that were the names he called out. Who were these people? More members of these families Jimmy had spoken of? Finally there was quiet when David fled the scene. Jimmy's comment garnered him raised eyebrows. In

favorites she plays is Brahms “Waltz.” I feel so light and beautiful when I hear the song. I feel it really mirrors his works well. In my research of Brahms I have found that he was a very sarcastic and harsh man. Even his colleagues spoke about how crass he was, but they did note that either way he was still an excellent composer.

One character even saying in more or less words that all caucasian women are cunts. This style is unlike that of any other time period. For example, in Greek theatre, something of that kind would be saved for the crass Satyr plays, not for a tragicomedy such as Clybourne Park. This freedom allows for more believable characters and experiences, which in turn completely changes the actor’s relationship with audience. While a character in an Elizabethan play would be

effort to prevent disease. Instead, far too many Americans simply find a quick fix at their local pharmacy. These prescriptions lead to addiction and in the end death. Therefore, if I could take away any one invention from mankind it would be the crass commercialization of pharmaceuticals.

According to these articles, the mainstream Southern perspective on the “Freedom Summer” activities of pro-civil right college students is that they are criminals. They also seem to view the disappearance and eventual murder of the three civil rights workers as unimportant and the fault of the victims, and not their attackers. In the article entitled, “Mississippi’s Lawless Invaders,” the reporter writes, “Much worse, however, is the planned lawlessness for which students are training on the campus

got into the capital: “they surprised the world, and perhaps themselves, with their lightning descent on the capital and their conquest of the Bab al-Aziziya barracks – that vast, forbidding high-walled fortress, home, seat of power, and above all, crass, iconic, absurdist symbol of Gaddafi and all his works. It was only a matter of time before National Transitional Council forces took control of the rest of the country, and even Sirte finally provided no refuge.” This quote shows The rebels taking

Since the dawn of time, human beings have always been manipulative, however, some humans have always been better at it than others. Two characters in literature, Hedda Gabler and Iago are master manipulators in their respective plays. In both Hedda Gabler and Othello, Hedda and Iago use manipulation to try to achieve their goals, deceiving everyone around them and bending them to their will. But while they don’t necessarily get their happy ending, neither of them goes out without one final act of

Welcome back my friends to the blog that never ends. I’m so glad you could attend. Read along! Read along! There in this class is some prose that’s pretty crass. Be careful as you pass. Read along! Read along! Wow! How disappointed Emerson, Lake and Palmer must be in this sophomoric attempt at humor. Certainly, a painful finale to wonderful class. Admittedly, I have struggled to produce original and interesting content for these blogs. It wasn’t always so. In the autumn of 73, I experienced no such
