...Harlem, Ney York 1999 on a cold winter day 10 year old Julia Beard was walking the dangerous downtown streets searching for her mother. The erudite young girl had skipped school because her mother had forgotten to feed her and she didn’t want to be teased by her classmates at school again. Julia checked the first place she suspected her mother to. It was an abandoned house where crack heads and alcoholics hung out and waited on drug dealers to deliver contraband to them. She walked to the step and asked was her other inside. No one responded, so she walked in to see for herself. When she got through the front door she was amazed by the horrible aura she walked into. Before she continued, she stood in shock because she couldn’t believe what she saw. People were laying everywhere and it smelled of cigarettes and marijuana, and alcohol. “Mom, mom” she yelled out as she walked through the house. But it was so quiet she could hear her voice reverberate in the darkness. Julia was so sedulous to find her mother that she scavenged throughout the house even as drunken crack heads yelled scurrilous comments at her. One sleazy guy came out of nowhere and grabbed her saying “Ain’t you Mary’s gal?” “Yes sir I am, have you seen her? She asked. The man was so drunk it was inscrutable as she listened to his slurred words. Julia then heard people talking and it sounded like her mother’s voice. She ran near the voices and without paying attention, she tripped and fell. With her adrenaline rushing...

...For those of you that don't know me my name is Brittany. I work at The Willows at Citation where I took care of Julia. For the short 3 months and 11 days that I knew Julia. I've learned something that no book could possibly ever teach me. On our Journey together I was constantly being moved and touched in ways that I often cannot describe. To live with Alzheimer's and still laugh, love and find joy is nothing short of amazing. I never got that chance to meet Julia when she was full of life and energy. Instead God blessed me with Julia on May 6th of this year. God had also blessed me with the ability to really connect with Julia. I spent many nights by her bedside, I've spent many hours listening, I've shared many tears with her daughter's and I've experienced many lifelong connections. Julia taught me the importance of living in the moment and finding joy in the small things. No two minutes were alike. Things were constantly changing and it put us on the wildest roller coaster ride imaginable. I must say it took a while and I'm sure I'm speaking for a few others when I say this but I came to realize that in order to survive, you must live in the moment and appreciate each and every good thing that happens, no matter how small. Sometimes you really have to dig deep to find the good in a lousy situation. The interesting thing is that bar is constantly moving. That thing that may have seemed completely insignificant a few months ago, can suddenly become the joy that gets...

...Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says he wants "Australia to become the most Asia-literate country in the Western world". He has committed to a vision that the people of Australia have the knowledge, skills, values and understanding they need to fulfill themselves, to live in and contribute effectively to a global society and to work in a global economy. Australian students in the future will require skills, knowledge and understanding related to the Asian region in order to meet the challenges and opportunities of living and working in the twenty-first century. What implication does this vision have for secondary schools in Australia? As stated by Kathe Kirby, Executive Director of the Asia Education Foundation, ‘If Asia literacy is to be achieved for every young Australian by 2020 it is clear that we need to scale up action in our schools'. To scale up action in all Australian schools and for students to be ‘Asia-literate’ will require a comprehensive, educational study of world religions. Religion in Asia, more so than in Australia, infiltrates the daily practices and lifestyle of citizens, those citizens that Australian students will be doing business with, traveling alongside of or maybe playing sport against. The scenarios are endless. The vision of Kevin Rudd aligns with the mission and vision of any State, Catholic or Independent school in that it be a community whose main objective is the transmission of values for living, a provider of a quality education for students...

...Somerset Maugham. This novel was written in 1937. It`s a thin, ironic story about a brilliant, intelligent actress, and her romance with a handsome young man. The main character of the novel was Julia Lambert. She was 46 years old and she was the most famous theater actress in England. Julia had a successful husband Michael, the owner and director of the theatre «Siddons, where she played, and adult educated son Roger. She showed her feelings only on the stage. Her husband Michael was restrained and practical person; his love for Julia faded. And Julia decided to have a secret love affair. She met a young accountant Thomas Fenelon, who was younger her on 25 years. Julia fell in love; she began to present different things to him, brought him closer to her family and sometimes forgot about decency ['diːs(ə)n(t)sɪ]. Soon she realized, that Thomas didn`t love her. Then Julia learnt that Tom betrayed her. He liked the young actress Avis Crichton, and with the help of Julia Avis found the job in the theatre. After surviving a storm of emotions, Julia coped with feelings to Thomas. Julia masterfully «killed» a debut of Avis. To my mind, the main idea of this book is that the whole world is a theatre! Life is not distinguishable from the scene. My most favorite character was Julia Lambert. She was smart and shrewd [ʃruːd], slightly sarcastic and very susceptible [sə'septəbl] to the outside world, but at the same time she was very generous and practical woman. But despite all...

...Nia Nguyen A Blame on Nothing and Nothingness Abject: A Rereading of Vertigo “In a male libidinal economy… the only good woman is a dead woman.” Slavoj Zizek, A Pervert’s Guide to Cinema Robin Wood began his landmark studies, Hitchcock’s Films (1965), with the rhetorical question, “Why should we take Hitchcock seriously?” Yet it was also Wood himself who revised the question in 1983. He asks, “Can Hitchcock be saved for feminism?” While there is no denying the brilliance of Hitchcock’s subjective camera and his skillful manipulation of identification processes, one cannot help but loathe the pungent misogyny prevalent in his works. Vertigo (1958) is arguably no exception. Laura Mulvey, a vocal and influential feminist film critic, contends that Vertigo elucidates an active sadistic voyeurism of the male gaze that subjects the woman, as object-of-desire, to realize his impossible fantasy, time and again at the cost of brutish violence against her body and psychological wellness.[1] Also exploiting Freud’s theory, Tania Modleski deciphers female suffering in Vertigo as a punishment for her inherently close relationship with the mother with which the men envy.[2] In drawing on the phallocentric models of Freud and Lacan, these criticisms bear a blind spot in that they assume certain essentialist sexual development characteristics to formulate the backbone of their analysis, such as Mulvey’s reading of object-of-desire or Modleski’s draw on bisexuality...

...Prologue Florence, 1283 The poet stood next to the bridge and watched as the young woman approached. The world ground to a near standstill as he remarked her wide, dark eyes and elegantly curled brown hair. At first he didn’t recognize her. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her movements sure and graceful. Yet there was something about her face and figure that reminded him of the girl he’d fallen in love with long ago. They’d gone their separate ways, and he had always mourned her, his angel, his muse, his beloved Beatrice. Without her, his life had been lonely and small. Now his blessedness appeared. As she approached him with her companions, he bowed his head and body in a chivalrous salute. He had no expectation that his presence would be acknowledged. She was both perfect and untouchable, a browneyed angel dressed in resplendent white, while he was older, world-weary and wanting. She had almost passed him when his downcast eyes caught sight of one of her slippers — a slipper that hesitated just in front of him. His heart beat a furious tattoo as he waited, breathless. A soft and gentle voice broke into his remembrances as she spoke to him kindly. His startled eyes flew to hers. For years and years he’d longed for this moment, dreamed of it even, but never had he imagined encountering her in such a serendipitous fashion. And never had he dared hope he would be greeted so sweetly. Caught off balance, he mumbled his pleasantries and allowed himself the indulgence of a smile...

...In Act 3, scene 4, Shakespeare utilizes the ominous storm pounding down upon the suffering Lear in order to elucidate the storm which actually affects Lear the greatest--the internal storm caused by the ingratitude shown by his daughters Regan and Goneril. Prior to Lear’s speech, Kent urges the King to enter a nearby hovel for the purpose of protecting himself from the seemingly unbearable storm. The tempest in Lear’s mind, however, is revealed as a greater concern than the storm on the outside. Lear is so fixated on his daughters’ ingratitude that he scarcely feels the effects of the harsh environmental elements crashing down upon him. He then gives a metaphorical speech to Kent, and he declines to enter the hovel while urging both Kent and the fool inside. The speech given by Lear before he implores Kent to enter the hovel is a major component in the development of the scene, as a whole, as it cleverly exhibits, through various poetic devices, both the mental situation of Lear and the progression of the play’s plot. A particular rhetorical device Shakespeare uses to manipulate Lear’s speech is syntax and rhythmic deviation. Lear commences his speech using an almost natural rhythm in which he speaks in long, smooth sentences: “Thou think’st ‘tis much that this contentious storm Invades us to the skin....” ( lines 6-7) However, it becomes quite evident to the reader when Lear begins focusing more and more on the tempest inside his mind--the storm that he feels...

...is a memoir authored by Julia Scheeres that shows a glimpse into an atypical family living in rural Indiana in the 1970’s. The riveting book presents broad ideas that are found in everyday life. The memoir is primarily focused on her relationship with her close-in-age brother David, who was adopted by the Scheeres family in 1970 when he was 3 years old. Although not related or the fact David is a few months younger than her, Julia expresses feelings as if David is her twin brother. When the Scheeres family moved to Lafayette; Julia, David and her other African-American brother Jerome are forced to cope with the hardships a teen faces when moving to a new town and from a small christian school to a large public school where David and Jerome are the only minorities. In the new setting, the Scheeres brothers experience prejudice and racial intolerance in the mostly white community of Lafayette, Indiana. This change in schools is just the beginning of a disconnected family and inner strength brought out in Jesus Land. Julia writes about her rebellious and problematic upbringing in a strict christian home. She struggles to connect with her adopted african-american brother in adolescence even though they were inseparable during childhood. She is also distant from her morally defixed mother that cares more about making God proud than raising her children, and her violent surgeon father who plays the role of the typical breadwinner that is always at work. Julia deals with insecurities...
