naturalist. 'Digging' is about a young man who feels that he is not worthy to follow in his father's footsteps. He tells the reader about how great his father and grandfather were, but throughout the poem he says very little about himself. Towards the end his mind is changed.

criminals. Compared to the rates in United States, Japan’s crime rate is less than ten percent. Part of the reason for this is the enormous amount of tolerance the country renders upon minor crimes. While one in three individuals has committed a crime worthy of imprisonment, only less than one in 20 people are sent to jail in Japan (Japan's Criminal-Justice System: Extractors, Few Fans, 1).

acknowledgement from a self-regulating human life is unjust. Recently, fetal surgery has also become common with babies who accumulate health issues in the womb. Medicinal technology, such as ultrasounds, recognizes unborn babies as human beings, worthy of proper individual care separate from the mother. If this widespread health recognition is shown to the fetus, then they should be declared citizens long before they are born. All in all, the science behind

directed his attention to spasmodic disorders, leading to his first encounter of the then unnamed illness. In 1885, at the age of 28, he publicized his findings in an article that described a peculiar condition he deemed worthy of the name “maladie des tics.” He wrote in this issue of nine specific cases whom he had closely examined, correlated by indicators comparable to youth onset, hereditability, and uncontrollable paroxysms. It seems he guessed that the deterring aspect of the disorder came from the

On Saturday, February 10th, 2018, the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra performed at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Virginia.

One of Emerson’s nine maxims states, “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind,” or in other words, “Nothing is worthy of prayer and dedication but the honesty and righteousness of your principle-driven mind.” Such a statement implies quite an iconoclastic theme: rather than devoting themselves to indoctrinated religions, people should trust only in their own personal beliefs and principles.

Profile in Courage Courage can be defined as the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face a difficulty, a danger and pain.
