...What Do You Say After You Say Hello? By, Eric Berne Book Review by Suresh A M, I semester, MBA, JSSCMS Eric Berne was a psychoanalyst who became well known in the 1970s for his system of "transactional analysis", the transactions in question being mostly those between a young child and its parents. He proposed various structures for this relationship based on the roles parent/adult/child that every person plays and presents life stories as scripts that can be good or bad. This book is considered by many to be Eric Berne's sequel to Games People Play. Although Berne published other books since Games People Play was released in 1964, most of those works were oriented towards those trained in psychotherapy and not towards the individuals who made Games People Play a two-year bestseller. The book is his last book completed just before his death in 1970. Berne's bad luck was that he wrote the book in 1970 when psychology was going through a bad patch with a flood of bizarre systems appearing. The good gets lost with the bad and transactional analysis now tends to be labeled as an outmoded California fashion related to Freudianism. In the preface he says that the book is "primarily intended as an advanced textbook of psychotherapy, and professionals of different backgrounds should have no difficulty in translating into their own dialects the short and simple annals of transactional analysis. No doubt some non-professionals will read it too, and for that reason I have tried to make...

...The University of Redlands Wind Ensemble, directed by Eddie R. Smith, put on a show at the Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, November 16th. Walking into the monumental Chapel I was unsure of what to expect. As I walked in I saw the amazing artwork around, the high ceilings, and a wide variety of instruments scattered on different levels of the stage. On the first level there were many small hand held instruments such as flutes and clarinets, on the second there were a wide variety of brass instruments, and finally in the last row were the percussion instruments. Knowing that it was a wind ensemble and not a traditional orchestra like the ones we have been made familiar with during this course, I was unsure of what to expect. I thought that it would be long and drawn out but I thought that I would not hate it and be able to at least respect the quality of music even if its not exactly my favorite genre. Much to my surprise, it was relatively short (only about 45 minutes) and was relatively interesting. I found myself tapping my foot to the music and enjoying the sounds very much. I was very impressed by the talent that these young men and women had, especially after hearing that they had prepared for this show in only three weeks. The first song that was played was Henry Fillmore’s “The Crosley March”. Right when I had walked in the show started and I could immediately tell the song being played was the first of the night. The song had a very festive feel to it and was short...

...Many won't ever know the struggle we have been through to be together and up to today. I honestly won't ever know why I decided to hold on this relationship due to the tremendously dark periods we went through. Few would say some part of me knew we were meant to be and others that I was plain stupid from taking so much nonsense from people. What many don't know is that behind all those rumors and everything bad, we been living the most pure and sincere love that in my opinion could ever exist. Every once in while we get asked questions about the past. I really don't mind answering because why deny it, if eventually the truth comes out. However, there's been many occasions where people "misinterpreted" my explanation and tell others and unwanted drama starts again. Whenever my parents hear false statements being said yeah, they give me the "the talk", "why the heck are you holding on? What are gaining out of it? Is this really worth it?" Yes it gets to me but when he tells me what he has heard, it tears me down miserably. Doubts and insecurities drain on me harshly. What if one day he can't take it anymore nonsense and decides it has no future? What if it's me? After so much why now? Although I don't say it to him personally, he gives me and our relationship more strength to keep moving on even though he's hurt by the comments. Despite all that, Ivan I just want you to know and the whole world how proud I am to be with such an amazing man. Thanks for being my light in the darkness...

...Tatyana Dotson Part II: Report on the Condition of the South (1865) 5. According to Schurz, the overall goal of Reconstruction is to reconstruct southern society and bring it back into American Society as a whole. He also mentions that it is also about the relationship between the constitution and the general public. 6. Schurz says the transition between the freedman and the south is so difficult to achieve because the south feels that the Union was so harsh and vengeful to them, and now they are changing their way of life so drastically. He touches on this by saying “in the midst of this critical period of transition, the power which originated the revolution is expected to turn over its whole future development to another power which from the beginning was hostile to it and has never yet entered into its spirit”. This just shows how it was already problematic. Added to this, the now freedman have to fend and protect themselves in an already angry and racist environment. Schurz explains this by saying “…leaving the class in whose favor it was made completely without power to protect itself and to take an influential part in that development.” 7. Southern soldiers also faced many problems when they came back home. Schurz states that “They found, many of them, their homesteads destroyed, their farms devastated, their families in distress”. The soldiers came back to an entire new world that was unfamiliar and stressful, which cause the embarrassment....

...Yazan Arafeh November 23, 2011 L.A/Block 4 Animal Farm Chapters 1-2 “Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle Wight boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals…Old Major (so he was always called, though the name under which he had been exhibited was Willingdon Beauty) was so highly regarded on the farm that everyone was quite ready to lose an hour’s sleep in order to hear what he had to say.”(pg 15) This is an exposition. It explains who old Major is. It explains that old Major is not his actual name. He is the boar. He is also a very important animal in the story because it says he was so highly regarded. The animals respected him like a high person. He was probably the king of the animals. Chapter 2 “And so, before they knew what was happening, the Rebellion had been successfully carried through: Jones was expelled, and the Manor Farm was theirs.”(pg 29) It was so unexpected that it would happen so fast. I thought the Rebellion of the animals against Man would take a very long time such as a year or ten years. It happened so fast that I was shocked. Chapter 1 Question Old Major tries to persuade the animals into a Rebellion against Man. He tells the animals what their life is right then and now, and also tells them what their life will be when they succeed in the Rebellion against Man. He persuades them by describing to all the animals how miserable, and short their...
