He talks about how he mans the ship alone and the great difficulties that he must endure. The hardest part he says is being alone not having any other men with him or a women. He goes to ports all over

In both of these films the loss of innocence stems from a lack of authoritative power and most importantly the lack of a familial structure. This lack of innocence derives from the lower class socio-economic status the youth are born into. The children and teenagers are able to gain an astonishing amount of power when introduced to violent lifestyle
Lola run. I observed in the movie Run Lola Run, Manny yellow hair and Lola fiery red hair. We look at typical heroes as people in mass, suits and cape, but we never look at Lola as typical hero, but she becomes the hero of the story.

believe that freedom will lead to prosperity, and that prosperity will bring happiness. This anticipation of joy will never come to fruition, and all these unfortunate people will feel that they were cheated out of happiness by some unlucky roll of dice, but really they have been chasing cars, because the American dream is not something one can truly capture, but only smoke trapped in the palm of a hand.

knowledge. As Siddhartha mentioned to his good friend Govinda: "You know, my friend, that even as a young man, when we lived with the ascetics in the forest, I came to distrust doctrines and teachers and to turn my back to them. I am still of the same turn of mind, although I have, since that time, had many teachers. A beautiful courtesan was my teacher for a long time, and a rich merchant and a dice player. On one occasion, one of the Buddha’s wandering monks was my teacher. He halted in his pilgrimage
I am a y-generation, Caucasian, working class woman who grew up in the south. (Dice 1=5, Dice 2=3, Dice 3=2) My new identity is an Asian American baby boomer woman. I know very little about my new identity, except that I would have lived during World War II and Pearl Harbor here in America and probably encountered harsh treatment. During that time, Asian Americans were looked down upon because of the Asian countries’ roles in the war. The stereotypes associated with my new identity include service

Interpersonal intelligence is the most important modality in my view. This can be roughly defined as having the ability to interact well with others. A good example of someone with high interpersonal skills was Martin Luther King. He was a clever man, however, it was not his IQ score that made him such a popular figure with the public, but his ability to read people, how they felt, and what their intentions
My grandpa was a treasure hunter. Every Saturday, he woke up before the sun and went in search of the rarest riches. But, then one Saturday he didn't. My mom told me his body got too old and tired. She said he "passed away", which is what grown-ups sometimes say when a person dies. After Grandpa died, no one in my family felt quite right. My sister was grouchier than ever, and Dad wasn't nearly as wacky-silly-goofy as usual. I even saw my mom cry! I didn't feel much like myself either, but

these texts. For texts such as “The Storm”, I wanted it to look clean so instead of scanning the actual book, I found a text version online.

new types of food, ones that are more healthy and fresh than before. This modifying process is taking place in biotechnical laboratories all over the world, where scientists study which genes are strong and which ones are weak. They then slice and dice these genes, sandwich them in any order, and pack them “to go”. With gene splicing these special scientists are on the verge of modifying certain foods to become “prefect”. Not only are we altering foods but also animals. Labs are genetically altering

We strive to fill the gaping hole
