You do not have to belong to a certain kind of people to talk and to understand Chelsea, considering that she manages to make anyone feel at ease, regardless of their background or of their particularity. Although this girl kindly divides herself so that she provides everyone with equal attention, she is especially concerned about making life easier for her loved ones. Her mother, her brother, her friends and boyfriend can all confess that Chelsea is a unique person, one that changed their life in a positive way.
Surely, it is surprising how someone can be as strong and loving as Chelsea, above all given that she also came across difficult moments during her life. Since her father was not always there to assist her and her family, she realized that it was up to her to keep the morale of her loved ones high. People have to understand that…...

Eulogy
Today I am here to say a few words about a woman who by her very existence has taught all of us the value of risk. In the course of life, we meet people who on the surface seem very different from us but they are inherently similar. My life was irrevocable changed through my contact with Nadi. Unfortunately, her life was also change by meeting me. I am sorrowed by the direction the course of events took but I cannot escape the realty that her life was truly meaningful to me. Nadi may appear to be a simple woman but she was very complex. She showed me that despite personal challenges and weaknesses the dream born in our heart never dies. I understand now more fully that dreams can change who we are and the ways in which we shape our world.

Nadi was a dutiful wife, and mother and…...

Speech
Eulogy for Robert F. Kennedy by Edward M. Kennedy

hy did you choose this speech? The speech by Senator Edward Kennedy was brilliantly written as a dramatic and emotional salute to his brother. But it was also a positive projection of why "moral courage" was needed in the world. The country went through years of protests against the Vietnam ar; Bobby Kennedy had won the 1968 Oregon and California Democratic Primaries and there was hope that he could become president and end the war.

hat tools does the speaker use to get the point across? Edward Kennedy used colorful, literary-level narrative as he mapped out a future where "…each of us can work to change a small portion of events," adding that "…each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others…he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope." Edward poignantly linked his brother's…...

Nelson's violent images call upon the reader to behold the corpse of Till, forcing the reader into a state of seismic cultural shock, as America has long been eager to forget its racist legacy (Harold, 2006, p.263).

e can see this in the moving words delivered by sports broadcaster on the day of baseball great Mickey Mantle's interment. Here, Costas lionizes the late Yankee slugger but does so with a grain of honesty that invokes forgiveness for the flaws in a human relationship. For Mantle, Costas tells, beyond the adulation and admiration, "he got something far more meaningful. He got love. Love for what he had been, love for what he made us feel, love for the humanity and sweetness that was always there mixed in the flaws and all the pain that racked his body and his soul." (Costas, p. 1)
For our mother nature, pain has sadly been a defining feature of her experience. Like the great maternal nurturer who sends her children into the world to make their fortune, she has selflessly given of herself until there is nothing left to sacrifice. And even…...

I want to die knowing that I did everything I could with my life to feel and be as successful as possible.
During my golden years, I will continue to exercise as much as possible. The type of exercise I do will be varied, as it will be necessary to incorporate some cardiovascular activity using a gym or personal trainer. I will do yoga and meditate also, perhaps even more often than before. Turning inward for introspection will help me to reflect regularly on my life and how I hope to spend my later years. By the time I die, I will feel ready and at peace with myself.

My personal eulogy will be humble and reflect the fact that I did my best. I want to be remembered as someone who was intelligent and balanced in their approach to life. Being healthy is one of the most important things that…...

Racism
On the surface, as a basic definition, racism is the belief that some racial / ethnic groups are superior to other groups. Racism and discrimination have historically been used as "powerful weapons encouraging fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and war," according to Anup Shah. The American Anthropological Association (AAA) explains that race is "a powerful idea and an enduring concept, invented by society" (Shah, 2010). The AAA says racism has promoted "inequality and discrimination for centuries," and racism has had a strong influence as to how members of a society relate to other humans (Shah). This paper discusses the issue in sociological terms as to how it applies to the global perspective.

Note in the above quoted phrase, "How he died and why he died" the line is an anapest, or two weakly accented syllables followed by one strong stress. Anapests are often been used by narrative to give a feel of singsong silliness, as in Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky," but in this case, the jingoistic tone of many of the phrases of the poem is used to convey a sense of a patriotic song with a matching and militaristic beat. Kipling's frequent use of anapests give the entire poem a quality of a marching tune, like "For a goat may butt, and a worm may sting, / and a child will sometimes stand;/but a poor dead soldier of the King/Can never lift a hand." The marching quality of these phrases makes the scene painted by the words sound even more tragic and ironic, while the occasional use of dactyls, one strong stress,…...

living in a time, individuals and generations do not exactly know what they are contributing in their history. Writers might have an idea that their work will be cited and used in the time to come, yet they do not have an exact idea about how their work will be used in the future and what position will it hold. The African writers have been writing about their culture like authors around the world. These writings are a source of information for us today to find what the culture of Africa is. The paper studies how the African authors have defended their culture and the journey of culture through time.

Camera angles that focus on wretched faces, of young boys in red coated uniforms begging for mercy, and of the arrogance of the British officer corps, not just towards Americans, but towards their own enlisted men, are shown with filming skill. As might be expected for this type of film, John Williams' score was masterful and very much in line with the generation of epics from the 1950s and 1960s -- painting a realistic picture of the film without dialog. Similarly, the audience is set up between the idyllic farm and hard work of a widower in the opening scene to the juxtaposition and hoped for return to normalcy in the final moments -- however, knowing that things will never be as they were (See: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=336714&contentTypeId=130&category=trailer).

And had Bucke never read any of hitman's earlier poetry (Leaves of Grass, for example) "we might think that words could not convey greater passion" than they did in Drum-Taps (p. 171). "But now we know better," he went on. The "splendid faith" of hitman's earlier poems is "greatly dimmed" in Drum-Taps, he insists. Bucke writes that he was told by a person "who knew the poet well, and who was living in ashington when 'Drum-Taps' were being composed, that he has seen alt hitman…turn aside into a doorway or other out-of-the-way place on the street…" (p. 171).

Once out of the bustle of the busy street, hitman would take out his notebook, Bucke continues, write some lines to Drum-Taps "…and while he was so doing he has seen the tears run down [hitman's] cheeks. I can well believe this, for there are poems in Drum Taps that can scarcely be…...

This will continue to be the case for the foreseeable decades as the United States fights wars that are so far not yet even imagined. If these wars have been fought (as many have suggested) over the presence of the scarce resource of oil, the next wars may be fought over the even more precious resource of water.
Looking not too far into the future, the next wars may be fought over the consequences (the magnitude of which has not been determined) of climate change. As the surface of the world itself changes with rising seawater and increasing disastrous floods, hurricanes, and droughts, the nature of war is likely to change ever more dramatically and ever more quickly.

A deep and horrifying malaise hangs over the images described here. To be sure, it seems that there is something
more than just the changing of the seasons which affects the speaker and
which afflicts his perspective so dramatically. He tells that "Then one
hot day when fields were rank / ith cowdung in the grass the angry frogs /
Invaded the flax-dam; I ducked through hedges / To a coarse croaking that I
had not heard / Before." (Heaney, 1)
This is a moment of ominous dread. The optimistic cycle where death
had given way to life in the first stanza-a decidedly naturalist embrace of
the wonder that is life-is now described as a threatening and mysterious
force somewhat beyond the comprehension or experience of the young speaker.
The language becomes decidedly more aggressive and far bleaker, describing
'gross-bellied frogs,' with a 'slap and plop' like 'obscene threats.' He
describes them as 'poised like mud grenades, their blunt heads farting.'

The most degraded out of other races, scorning their national beliefs, brought to them their contributions and presents. This augmented the wealth of the Jews, as also did the fact, that among themselves they are inflexibly honest and ever ready to show compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies. (Tacitus, Book V, a.D. 70). Some of the Jewish customs, such as the burying of the dead instead of burning them, unlike the Romans, are presented by Tacitus as borrowed from the Egyptians. Tacitus describes the Jewish customs and ways of expressing their religion without pretending to understand it. Although disgusted by most of their habits completely strange to him, he is also showing his admiration for these people who proved to be able to stick together at all times and endured since immemorial eras. He is also critical to some of what…...

Drucker could "discern trends" twenty years or more before other observers could observe them the author explains, and then goes on to itemize specific programs, concepts, and strategies that management leaders either adopted or embraced to some degree:
In terms of advocating for changes in management, Drucker introduced the idea of "decentralization" in the 1940s, Byrne observes, and decentralization went on to become "a bedrock principle" for "virtually every large organization in the world." Drucker's suggested changes are as follows: a) orkers should be treated as assets, "not as liabilities to be eliminated," Drucker asserted in the 1950s, and was the first to put forth that philosophy; b) Also in the 1950s, Drucker originated the view of the corporation "as a human community" which should be build "on trust and respect for the worker" and not just a "machine" to produce profit; for this idea, Drucker achieved "an almost God-like…...
