... What is Your Philosophy? How does one define his or her personal philosophy? A variety of personal, social, political, and economic circumstances help molds one’s philosophy. Using myself, as an example, I will explain how each of these areas has played some part in the molding of my personal philosophical views. The formation of my views began when I was a young child at around six or seven years old. I didn’t realize at the time of course. Only through growing up and looking back can one realize such things. According to the Performance Aid, I find myself falling into two categories of philosophy: Social and Post-Colonial. The post-colonial aspect is very easy for me to explain. One of the questions posed by post-colonial Phil osiers is “Can oral history and tradition be preserved for future generations? I believe that it can. This can only happen if we as a capitalistic society stop being so self-involved with money and possessions. We have to realize that history repeats itself in one way or another. Each generation needs to stop and take the time to learn from parents, grandparents, and great grandparents about their lives. The lives of those before you help shaped the ways and methods of thinking for the next. This could be passing along family history or traditions. I have often regretted not hearing more of my father’s stories of his time in the military. He was in, what was then known as, the Army Air Corps. This was also during the time that segregation wasn’t...

...Name ______________________________ Date _______________________ Per. ___ Romeo and Juliet – Discussion Questions Act II.i 1. Summarize this brief scene. What is the purpose of this scene? * Romeo decides to go seek Juliet – jumps wall into Capulet compound * Benvolio and Mercutio look for Romeo – Mercutio makes obscene jokes about Romeo’s love * Benvolio and Mercutio give up and leave * In the beginning of scene ii, we learn that Romeo hears them but says they don’t understand because they have never loved Act II.ii 1. According to Romeo, why is the moon “sick and pale with grief?” * The moon is sick with grief because the moon is not as beautiful as Juliet, who Romeo compares with the sun; * “That thou her maid art far more fair than she.” (I ii 5-6). 2. How do Romeo and Juliet feel about their respective last names? Provide textual evidence for each. Romeo: * Romeo says that if Juliet will love him, he will cease to be Romeo Montague: ““Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized:/Henceforth, I never will be Romeo.” (I ii 49-50) * He says his name is hateful to him: “My name, dear saint is hateful to myself/Because it is an enemy to thee.” (I ii 54-55) Juliet: * Juliet says that she wishes Romeo would deny his heritage and no longer be a Montague; she in turn would no longer be a Capulet.

...The soliloquy of Friar Laurence and how it predicts the story to follow The soliloquy of Friar Laurence plays a huge role in the story to come. He is Romeo's mentor and confidante. His soliloquy gives us better insight to his character and we get to know just what kind of person the Friar is. We learn that Friar meant well but nonetheless he created many disasters which could have been avoided. Romeo trusts the Friar because the Friar is Romeo’s mentor and confidant. He tells him almost everything including his love for Juliet. The Friar wants nothing more than then for rivalry between the Capulet and the Montague families to end so he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet as he feels that the feud will end once the two families are united. Sadly however, he does it in such a secret manner that it caused more harm than good. He talks about the healing power of herbs but also how poisonous those same herbs could be. The soliloquy foreshadows and acts as an omen for the tragic events to come. The earth and all its creatures have a lot of good qualities and uses but if they are used inappropriately then the outcomes could be unwanted or even dangerous. That is why the same plant or herb that is used to heal could also kill if not used correctly. The Friar is also comparing the plants to humans saying that we can be both good and bad. When we read the following lines that the Friar Lawrence says, “The gray-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,/Check’ring the eastern...

ROSALIND Patience herself would startle at this letter And play the swaggerer; bear this, bear all: She says I am not fair, that I lack manners; She calls me proud, and that she could not love me, Were man as rare as phoenix. 'Od's my will! Her love is not the hare that I do hunt: Why writes she so to me? Well, shepherd, well, This is a letter of your own device. SILVIUS No, I protest, I know not the contents: Phebe did write it. ROSALIND Come, come, you are a fool And turn'd into the extremity of love. I saw her hand: she has a leathern hand. A freestone-colour'd hand; I verily did think That her old gloves were on, but 'twas her hands: She has a huswife's hand; but that's no matter: I say she never did invent this letter; This is a man's invention and his hand.

...1. Compare and contrast traditional Hmong birthing practices with those in the United States. Because the Hmong culture varies so differently from that of American practices, significant traits can be compared from each way of life. One of these differing practices is childbirth. Typically, Hmong women do not go for regular checkups, let alone see any medical professionals, for the duration of their pregnancy. Once it comes time to deliver the child, the mother gives birth in her own home, by herself, without making a sound as to not “thwart the birth” (Fadiman 1997, 3). No epidurals, medication, housewives, or nurses are utilized and the mother tends to take care of everything on her own. The only assistance the woman receives is a cup of hot water, upon request, from her husband who must avert his eyes. The woman would stand as she delivers, pushing the newborn into her arms. Her husband would then cut the umbilical cord with a pair of heated scissors. Because the spiritual side of life is so important to the Hmong, the placenta would be buried in the family’s hut so that “when the [child dies] his or her soul [can] travel back from place to place, retracing the path of its life geography, until it reaches the burial place of its placental ‘jacket’ and [puts] it on” (Faiman 1997, 5). After birth, women were to eat and drink warm liquids and follow a strict diet of steamed rice and chicken boiled in water with five special herbs (Fadiman 1997, 9). The child’s body would be...

...Search Enoch Arden by Lord Alfred Tennyson Published 1864 Long lines of cliff breaking have left a chasm; And in the chasm are foam and yellow sands; Beyond, red roofs about a narrow wharf In cluster; then a moulder'd church; and higher A long street climbs to one tall-tower'd mill; And high in heaven behind it a gray down With Danish barrows; and a hazelwood, By autumn nutters haunted, flourishes Green in a cuplike hollow of the down. Here on this beach a hundred years ago, Three children of three houses, Annie Lee, The prettiest little damsel in the port, And Philip Ray the miller's only son, And Enoch Arden, a rough sailor's lad Made orphan by a winter shipwreck, play'd Among the waste and lumber of the shore, Hard coils of cordage, swarthy fishing-nets, Anchors of rusty fluke, and boats updrawn, And built their castles of dissolving sand To watch them overflow'd, or following up And flying the white breaker, daily left The little footprint daily wash'd away. A narrow cave ran in beneath the cliff: In this the children play'd at keeping house. Enoch was host one day, Philip the next, While Annie still was mistress; but at times Enoch would hold possession for a week: `This is my house and this my little wife.' `Mine too' said Philip `turn and turn about:' When, if they quarrell'd, Enoch stronger-made Was master: then would Philip, his blue eyes All flooded with the helpless wrath of tears, Shriek out `I hate you...

McDevitte and W. S. Bohn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOK 1 Chapter 1 All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae. Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are furthest from the civilization and refinement of [our] Province, and merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind; and they are the nearest to the Germans, who dwell beyond the Rhine, with whom they are continually waging war; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor, as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles, when they either repel them from their own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers. One part of these, which it has been said that the Gauls occupy, takes its beginning at the river Rhone; it is bounded by the river Garonne, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae; it borders, too, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii...

...Romeo and Juliet | Shakespeare homepage | Romeo and Juliet | Entire play | ACT I PROLOGUE Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. SCENE I. Verona. A public place. Enter SAMPSON and GREGORY, of the house of Capulet, armed with swords and bucklers SAMPSON Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals. GREGORY No, for then we should be colliers. SAMPSON I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. GREGORY Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar. SAMPSON I strike quickly, being moved. GREGORY But thou art not quickly moved to strike. SAMPSON A dog of the house of Montague moves me. GREGORY To move is to stir; and to be valiant is to stand: therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away. SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's. GREGORY That shows thee a weak slave; for the weakest goes to the...
