...Edmund sets out to change the image that society holds of him due to his status as a bastard. In order to do this he needs to bring down those who debased him and reformat a whole society with its “plague of custom.” (I II 3). He attempts the impossible task of proving that his “dimensions areas well compact, [his] mind as generous, and [his] shape as true as honest madam’s issue.” (I II 79) With nature as his sole philosophy, Edmund is placed outside the harmonious social order and represents what is natural as compared to what is unnatural, the social customs. In addition to having to prove his equality as compared to his brother, he needs to change the view that an entire society holds against a certain subset of the population; he has to prove the natural against the unnatural. From the start of the play we are able to see how humiliating and dehumanizing it can be to a bastard. Gloucester, talking about Edmund, states that he has “so often blushed to acknowledge him that now [he] is brazen to ‘t.” (I I 1011) While standing directly in front of him, Edmund’s own father shames his bastard son and only reluctantly acknowledges his existence, a task that he has had to grow accustomed to. Gloucester proceeds to state that “there was good sport at [Edmund’s] making”(I I 24), an insult to Edmund’s conception. This whole conversation shows a complete lack of respect by Gloucester for his bastard son. While he probably understand the futileness of his task to reinvent...

...Secondary 2 Unseen Practice (I) My Grandmother (a) I think the author’s grandmother was a lonely lady who was deprived of love. From the first stanza, it stated that she ‘watched her own reflection in the brass’, with the words ‘own reflection’ signifying that she was alone, and she was probably a lonely person. Also, the first stanza also said that she was trying to prove that ‘there was no need of love’ when she stared at her own reflection in the brass. This shows that she was trying to tell herself that it was all right to be lonely, that she was comforting herself in her loneliness and deprivation, that despite the fact that there was no one around her to care for her or love her, she wouldn’t care—when the fact was, she did. The fact that she had to prove to herself that ‘there was no need of love’ shows that she didn’t quite believe it herself, and that she was secretly pining for her family’s and granddaughter’s love and concern. In the third stanza, it was stated that she kept things in a ‘long narrow room’ which smelt ‘of absences where shadows come’. This gives a lifeless tone, and the word ‘absences’ shows that there was there was a certain air of abandon, that she felt companionless. There was also a line that says the place smelt old, of ‘things too long kept shut’, and one of these ‘things’ might be her feelings of being lonesome and even deserted. I think that the author’s grandmother is strong at will and emotions too. The poem has given much evidence...

...The first thing that I found to be interesting was that synesthesia is a condition that involves all of the senses. Prior to reading this article, I thought that it was a condition that only involved seeing colors from sounds because I met a person who was a synesthete and claimed to see colors from sounds. Another thing that I found interesting was the large gap between the year in which synesthesia was discovered and the year that it began to be seriously studied. Scientists have known about the condition since 1880, yet clear answers were not found until 1999. Ever since I first heard about synesthesia, it was such a fascinating concept to me that I found it bizarre that the notion of it would just be disregarded and not further researched...

...Hilda Van Duinen 6 October 2014 A Stuffed Toy Bear Walking down a long hallway with bleached white tile, little flecks of paint decorate each square to disguise the drops of food and bits of trash. What room number was it, 1306 or 1309—pretty sure it was bed B? Check the chart. The bleached tile hugs the wall and hides underneath the rustic orange-colored plastic border, creating a gap amid the tile and the wall where the occasional stray syringe cap is lazily tucked in between it. Feet are throbbing; stomach is rumbling, long day, clocked in at four this morning, just want to sleep forever. Following this plastic trimming, the hall seems endless, does it turn left or right, maybe a dead end—you could rarely ever tell if it weren’t for the directional signs. I think this is the room; the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear they said. The wall itself is also white, neutral, seldom decorated with anything other than policies and inspirational posters which are not really meant to look at, more for comfort really. Besides, you could hardly ever see the posters as the halls are constantly filled with running feet. There are lights everywhere, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls, above every room, however the hall is surprisingly dim, making it difficult to read patient numbers on doors. Found it, the room with the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear. Finally get to sit. A firm cheap sofa chair that isn’t meant for long term visits—mostly only for show and requirement—but...

...Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game Michael Lewis For Billy Fitzgerald I can still hear him shouting at me Lately in a wreck of a Californian ship, one of the passengers fastened a belt about him with two hundred pounds of gold in it, with which he was found afterwards at the bottom. Now, as he was sinking-had he the gold? or the gold him? —John Ruskin, Unto This Last Preface I wrote this book because I fell in love with a story. The story concerned a small group of undervalued professional baseball players and executives, many of whom had been rejected as unfit for the big leagues, who had turned themselves into one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball. But the idea for the book came well before I had good reason to write it—before I had a story to fall in love with. It began, really, with an innocent question: how did one of the poorest teams in baseball, the Oakland Athletics, win so many games? For more than a decade the people who run professional baseball have argued that the game was ceasing to be an athletic competition and becoming a financial one. The gap between rich and poor in baseball was far greater than in any other professional sport, and widening rapidly. At the opening of the 2002 season, the richest team, the New York Yankees, had a payroll of $126 million while the two poorest teams, the Oakland A's and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, had payrolls of less than a third of that, about $40 million. A decade before, the highest payroll...
