![]() ![]() When sundown came and Campbell’s “pick sack” didn’t contain at least 100 pounds of cotton picked since daybreak, Belfer didn’t sentence him to a performance improvement plan. Campbell wasn’t trying to make enough money to stay out of Mom’s basement and put a dent in his student loans. ![]() His business was selling cotton, not debugging software or cold-calling to make sales of paper products. Of course, Belfer invented this system back in 1825, at a Mississippi slave labor camp, not a cube farm or call center. If Campbell could meet the target, Belfer would raise Campbell’s quota even higher, and they’d go through the whole process again. If Campbell’s “metrics” didn’t reveal enough work output, Belfer would evaluate him negatively. Belfer established a productivity quota tailored to Campbell’s level of training. Belfer once used on a young man named Israel Campbell.

Since they see the same sunset as seen in the quote above, they then concluded that they are not so different after all. Rather it is the qualities inside of him. That made them realize that they are all the same people it is not money that makes a man. ![]() We saw the same sunset.Ĭherry was especially surprised to learn that people from poor backgrounds could appreciate nature. It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Ponyboy and Cherry were surprised to learn that they both see the sunrise and sunset and appreciate their beauty from their respective houses. We are all the same beings made by the same creator, so there shouldn’t be discrimination or fighting. The story of ‘ The Outsiders‘ addressed the issue of all human beings being the same irrespective of tribe, race, colour, and especially financial capacity. Here are some of them.Ĭan you see the sunset real good on the West side? You can see it on the East side too. In the book, you will find a lot of quotes. It is a story that a lot of teens can resonate with as it addresses their feelings and emotions that adults can’t relate to. ‘ The Outsiders‘ is a story of family, honour, sacrifice, and individuality, among others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of us came from the city, and wore stylish city clothes, but many more of us came for the country and on the boat we wore the same old kimonos we’d been wearing for years – faded hand-me-downs form our sisters that had been patched and redyed many times.Īs an introduction, this style of narration intrigues. Some of us had eaten nothing but rice gruel as young girls and had slightly bowed legs, and some of us were only fourteen years old and were still young girls ourselves. We had long black hair and flat wide feet and we were not very tall. To refuse to give the women names seems a continuation of their separateness, keeping them at a distance even from the reader: By doing so, she forces the reader to bear witness to their victimization again and again. She then lists all the possible outcomes for the women. Marginalized by the dominant society, Otsuka further obscures their identities by both keeping them nameless, and, in a post-modern ploy, using the ‘we’ narrator. Told in eight sections, the story shares the lives of a group of women who come to the United States as mail-order brides in the 1920’s. A finalist for the National Book Award this year, Julie Otsuka’s beautifully poetic second novel, The Buddha In The Attic, seems to question the very nature of narrative. ![]() ![]() Why Isn’t Michael Jordan in ‘Air’?

Picaresque adventures ensue: Jack and his master best a band of brigands, make their stage debut, join an army regiment and, when Jack convinces his master to desert (unbeknownst to the Scarecrow) by escaping on a raft, they get shipwrecked on an island. Does it matter that intelligence and worldliness were left out of the farmer's blessings? Not a bit: These qualities are supplied in abundance by the orphaned youngster Jack, whom the jaunty scarecrow takes on as his servant. And best of blooming luck," says the farmer who creates the straw-stuffed hero. ![]() Be courteous, and be brave, and be honorable, and be kind. ![]() In this witty and moving fairy tale from Pullman (The Golden Compass I Was a Rat!), a scarecrow comes miraculously to life in a wartorn England. ![]() ![]() ![]() This dance tradition includes the hand extended at shoulder height, the head bowed, one bare foot placed at a right angle to the others instep. One is sitting ( called the noho dance) or standing ( called the luna dance). There are also two main positions of a hula dance. There are many sub-styles of hula, with the main two categories being Hula 'Auana ( modern or Western influence) and Hula Kahiko (Ancient or prior to 1893). The hula dramatizes or portrays the words of the oli or mele in a visual dance form. It was developed in the Hawaiian Islands by the Polynesians who originally settled there. The Hula is a dance form accompanied by chant (oli) or song (mele). ![]() The thump of the drum, the rattle of the gourd and the sound of the surf in the distance, the light of the Kukui torches all add to the flavor of this dance. This ancient ritual is only danced by the young. It was danced to the Shark Goddess and the gods of Wind and Fire as well as the chieftains. Out in the Hawaiian Islands, the Hula is recognized as an expression of life and love, of the stars and seasons, it is a dance of worship.

Halliday’s paintings of a red-eyed tree frog (left) and green toad Many of these declines were described as “enigmatic”, because frogs, toads, newts and salamanders were dying in supposedly protected habitats. ![]() ![]() As participants at the congress compared notes, they realised that the same was happening all over the world. While studying the courtship and mating of British newts in the wild, he had noticed over the years that the numbers in his study ponds had been falling. In 1989 Halliday was one of the prime movers in organising the First World Congress of Herpetology (herpetology is the study of amphibians and reptiles) at the University of Kent, Canterbury. The current chief scientist of the Amphibian Survival Alliance, Phil Bishop, called him “the leading champion and ambassador for all things amphibian”. Tim Halliday, who has died aged 73, was one of the leading figures in a worldwide initiative to raise the alarm, and to understand the reasons for the decline. ![]() Almost exactly 30 years ago, the first warning sounded that amphibian species were already in potentially catastrophic freefall. The recent shocking UN report on the threatened extinction of one million species has focused global attention on the crucial role of biodiversity in the health of the planet. ![]() ![]() **A Christian Science Monitor Top 10 Book of September 2015** "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Incorporating natural history and evolutionary biology with conversations with eminent ethicists, O'Connor's narrative goes to the heart of the human enterprise: What should we preserve of wilderness as we hurtle toward a future in which technology is present in nearly every aspect of our lives? How can we co-exist with species when our existence and their survival appear to be pitted against one another? In stories of sixteenth-century galleon excavations, panther-tracking in Florida swamps, ancient African rainforests, Neanderthal tool-making, and cryogenic DNA banks, O'Connor investigates the philosophical questions of an age in which we "play god" with earth's biodiversity.Įach chapter in this beautifully written book focuses on a unique species-from the charismatic northern white rhinoceros to the infamous passenger pigeon-and the people entwined in the animals' fates. Paradoxically, the more we intervene to save species, the less wild they often become. O'Connor explores the extreme measures scientists are taking to try and save them, from captive breeding and genetic management to de-extinction. ![]() In a world dominated by people and rapid climate change, species large and small are increasingly vulnerable to extinction. **A Christian Science Monitor Top Ten Book of September** ![]() ![]() And because it is in the news, it means that people will not be able to say that she is unfairly picking on the Catholic Church.

Wow! Let's just say that Picoult has come up with an extraordinary moral conflict. What does it mean to be a good mother? I don't normally steal the publisher's book description when writing my thoughts on a novel, but in the case of Perfect Match, well, this sums it up in more ways than I can tell you without spoiling the book.
