Miller arthur death of a salesman6/12/2023 He strives for his elegance of the American dream which is bound by accomplishment and bad status, even when he is obliged to renounce the reality in order to achieve it. Willy Loman denies the facts that he has the traits of a great salesman. In the play, every member of Loman family is leading a life that is characterized by renunciation and perpetuation of a cycle of renunciation for others. These themes are rejection, inconsistency, and instruction versus disorder. The play is made up of three main themes. It also revolves around events that Willy Loman is involved with his present and his past which makes him worry about his future. it is a medley of flashbacks, imaginations, conflicts, and effects, all of which make up the final day of Willy Loman’s life. Death of salesman talks about the loss of distinctiveness and the inability of man to accept alteration between himself and the society that he lives in.

Patrick House – image from Attention Fwd -> But how did this gelatinous, gross substance, come to develop awareness of self? And just what is consciousness, anyway? We are who and what we are, and saying so, thinking so, makes us conscious, at the very least. Somehow, within that biological organ, there is a thing we refer to as consciousness. But consider the human brain, with billions of neurons, and a nearly infinite possible range of interactions among them. Fairly simple and straightforward once one knows how it works. Does it have a borderline around it? How wide is that line? Does it have a background color? How about a foreground color? Can it display images, text, both? Where does it get its information, keyboard entry, internal calculation? and on and on and on. Under what conditions did one appear? Physical dimensions, like width and height. When I was still a programmer it was necessary to understand the many characteristics of, and rules about using, the objects that we would place on the screen in an application. It is not drawn from a recycled tap of special kinds of cells or dredged from the vein of free will. …consciousness is not something passed on or recycled–like single molecules of water, which are retained as they move about the earth as ice, water, or dew–from one living creature to the next…instead consciousness should be grown from “scratch” with only a few well-timed molecular parts from plans laid out. The brain…is a thrift-store bin of evolutionary hacks Russian-dolled into a watery, salty piñata we call a head.

The Last Rogue by Deborah Simmons6/11/2023 As children, the Marchants had been best of friends with Barto, now Viscount Hawthorne. Yet even more disturbing is the arrival of Bartholomew Hawthorne, a former neighbor with whom she shares a history of her own. But she is soon fascinated by the huge hedge maze that lies behind the house, its pattern unseen.ĭetermined to solve the puzzle of the labyrinth, Sydony delves into the disturbing history behind it. Sydony finds it dark and gloomy, full of quirks and unwelcome surprises, including bizarre rumors that keep the locals away. But their new home is a far cry from the cozy cottage they shared with their father before his death. The Dark Viscount begins in a thunderstorm, of course, with siblings Kit and Sydony Marchant arriving at the old manor house they recently inherited. Anyone who’s read my work knows that I also love a gothic mood now and then, and what better release date for such a book than October, just in time for Halloween? I write both Regency romps and medievals, with varying amounts of humor, mystery, and suspense. I’m probably best known for my ( currently unfinished) series on the medieval de Burgh family, involving the earl of Campion and his seven sons, great strapping knights all. I’m the author of 24 historical romances and novellas, most of them for HH. Thank you, Sybil, for the invitation to join in the Harlequin Historical spotlight! We can see this story being used by teachers and parents to provide a meaningful and fun context for children to learn about division using resources, such as blocks of Unifix cubes, to represent different total numbers of ants in each line. The page illustrations of the ants moving in different numbers of lines also help young children see what division looks like visually. One of the great things about this story is that readers can clearly see how knowledge of division can help meaningfully solve a problem. They first try moving in two lines of 50 ants, then four lines of 25, and so on. Initially, the ants are moving in a single file, then one of the ants suggests that they could get to the picnic quicker if they move in more than one lines. Pinczes's ‘One Hundred Hungry Ants’ (1993) follows the story of 100 hungry ants who are racing to a picnic far far away for some food. Friedrich nietzsche good and evil6/11/2023 He proposes that faith requires one to sacrifice one’s truth. This argument forms the foundation for his discussion of religion. Though Nietzsche points out that morality and immorality are polar opposites, he paradoxically insists that nothing can be split into black and white-there exist only shades of gray. While he believes they may raise unique and interesting points, he believes them to be untried and untested. However, he thinks little of newer philosophers. So where does Nietzsche get his truth from? He writes that his theories are a result of the intensity of his education, particularly the study of Ancient Greek and modern philosophers. Nietzsche does not value those who have not the desire to delve into the deepest areas of their mind to find the truth. Nietzsche proposes that any human being has the capability to do this, but most do not do so because they lack the ambition to dig through everything they have ever learned to question its validity. Nothing is free from this self-interrogation, and that includes self-perception, societal teachings, and religion. Everything they have ever learned or observed must be reexamined. At the heart of Nietzsche’s argument is the idea that to learn the truth, a human being must question everything. Gb shaw arms and the man6/10/2023 In contrast, Captain Bluntschli's actions in Raina's bedroom strike us, at first, as being the actions of a coward. He thus becomes Raina Petkoff's ideal hero yet the more that we learn about this raid, the more we realize that it was a futile, ridiculous gesture, one that bordered on an utter suicidal escapade. When the play opens, we hear about the glorious exploits which were performed by Major Sergius Saranoff during his daring and magnificent cavalry raid, an event that turned the war against the Serbs toward victory for the Bulgarians. To create this satire, Shaw chose as his title the opening lines of Virgil's Aeneid, the Roman epic which glorifies war and the heroic feats of man in war, and which begins, "Of arms and the man I sing." It is not, however, an anti-war play instead, it is a satire on those attitudes which would glorify war. One of Shaw's aims in this play is to debunk the romantic heroics of war he wanted to present a realistic account of war and to remove all pretensions of nobility from war. Call of the wild book author6/10/2023 And he was also a prolific – and, it must be said, determined – author who, once he broke into the literary market, would write a wide range of works including dystopian fiction (see below), adventure stories ( White Fang and The Call of the Wild, his most enduring books – though the 1904 book The Sea-Wolf is also worth mentioning here), realism ( Martin Eden, about a struggling writer), post-apocalyptic fiction ( The Scarlet Plague), and several volumes of memoirs (the most biographically illuminating of which is John Barleycorn). Jack London’s San Francisco home has a collection of some of the 600 rejections he received before he sold a single story. Born John Griffith Chaney in 1876, Jack London read voraciously as a youth, and amassed a library of some 15,000 volumes which he described as ‘the tools of my trade’.
