...The hegemonic self unleashed Have you ever caught yourself talking with your inner self? I am sure that at some point you asked your inner self a question...and got an answer. Now, how about an actual argument with that pretentious little guy? When that happens, it sometimes seems as if there were more than just two people wanting to have their say and have their voices heard; sometimes you get more than one opinion, and quite surprisingly, they all sound alike. Many of us are so used to talking to ourselves (especially in this era of extreme individualism and egocentrism) that we often overlook the fact that what happens inside our heads is not a one-sided conversation, amonologue, but rather, some sort of deliberation, with many selves debating―or should we say clashing. There is no place more undemocratic than the cluster inour minds. Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to talk about a confederation of selves. As in any confederation, there is a struggle for power, for supremacy. Some get their heads bashed, some manage to climb up near the top, and one―just one―gets to be the hegemonic self; the self you call “your-self”. In other words, there is a whole universe inside us, albeit a rather chaotic one, governed by a few, fragile, laws. More important, however, is the idea that all those pugnacious selves were orbiting around you from the beginning. Sometimes there is relative harmony, and other times the collision looks like an encounter between matter and antimatter...

...New Year's Day When reading "New Year's Day", I think most people can relate to the main character in the story. When something is going good in your life, it can seem to be too good, in this case however, I think Clare is making a big deal out of many small things. Clare thinks that her boyfriends previous girlfriend, called Amy, is making her feel crazy, an example could be in Alan's apartment, when Clare apparently forgot to shut off the oven: "This is so spooky. I swear I turned the oven off last night." And she therefore stated, that Amy has been inside the house, without them knowing it. Alan call her paranoid, because she continues to find reasons and posibilities, how Amy got into the house, example "Amy could have got in … She could have turned the oven on. I expect she still has a key." Again Alan must demystify the things that Clare torment herself with. The relation between Clare and Alan is split up, Alan is truly in love with Clare, but Clare is perhaps afraid of finding a man, because she never had a standing relationship. We see where this is mentioned in this quote "Clare had had lovers but never lived with a man before." That’s why she in the end decides to go away from Alan, who stands powerless back watching his love going away without a word. But the whole problematic starts, when Clare feels that people are strange at the new year's party with Alan's friends. The day after, Clare only focuses on the strange things that happens, and forgot to look at what...

...WATERSHIP DOWN by RICHARD ADAMS (1972) [VERSION 1.1 (Apr 29 03). If you find and correct errors in the text, please update the version number by 0.1 and redistribute.] To Juliet and Rosamond, remembering the road to Stratford-on-Avon Note Nuthanger Farm is a real place, like all the other places in the book. But Mr. and Mrs. Cane, their little girl Lucy and their farmhands are fictitious and bear no intentional resemblance to any persons known to me, living or dead. Acknowledgements I acknowledge with gratitude the help I have received not only from my family but also from my friends Reg Sones and Hal Summers, who read the book before publication and made valuable suggestions. I also wish to thank warmly Mrs. Margaret Apps and Miss Miriam Hobbs, who took pains with the typing and helped me very much. I am indebted, for a knowledge of rabbits and their ways, to Mr. R. M. Lockley's remarkable book, The Private Life of the Rabbit. Anyone who wishes to know more about the migrations of yearlings, about pressing chin glands, chewing pellets, the effects of over-crowding in warrens, the phenomenon of re-absorption of fertilized embryos, the capacity of buck rabbits to fight stoats, or any other features of Lapine life, should refer to that definitive work.
