I was looking at Marc Chagall Oil Paintings and I was wondering what are the main themes that he is trying to portray? I know that he comes from a Jewish family in the times of the holocaust, but his art has something very happy and somewhat of a childish fantasy...

It was an English name that had a coat of arms. the name died out. A cherokee or Creek indian baby was left on white peoples doorstep during the civil war. The white people took him in and named him Charlie Woods.when he was of legal age he changed his last name to Bankester. so my dad thinks all living Bankesters are related since it was a name that died out previously.

I tried to look it up on google, but could only come up with the date the book/movie was published, instead of the year which is taking place in the book.

I'm posting this again here:

My co worker and I are having this arguement about the human mind. She is under the impression that humans lack the ability to be creative because there are too many outside factors that help mold whatever thoughts that might pass through one's mind. Basically, she's saying only blind people can be truly creative. I beg to differ. I think that 'using' these very factors, we are able to create and develop ideas... I'm confusing myself here. Listen, help me out..

A mom
An 8 year old son
An ex boyfriend (mom's)
?
?
?

Without thinking of any TV shows, movies, songs, books, or ANYTHING like that, can ANYONE give these people a story? Nothing generic. She's betting everyone will come up with the 'Mom meets new man, son doesn't like him 'cause he's not dad, but eventually warms up to him... happily ever after' story. Add stuff, take stuff away, but go nuts. We HAVE to prove her wrong!! (We're each at our desks hitting 'refresh' every 2 seconds). PLEASE???

Oh christian faithfuls, lovers of God,
I'm in awe at your trust.
I ask of you just one question,
Can you tell me who you are.

You tell me wonder stories,
Of the miracles of christ.
But now I have heard christ's story,
Please can I ask, what's yours?

You tell me that to enter heaven,
You must serve a human life.
But how do you serve a human life,
When you act as a saint.

You've told me all now let me tell you,
Just one thing before I go.
There's one thing worth a thousand Gods,
This thing is your life as a man.

I have been getting some rude answers to my previous question about gay actor and actresses. Let me try to clear things up a bit. I am a 41 y/o female attending Herzing College in Florida, the teacher wrote down some group topics for us and my group chose Gays as a main topic and we are branching off with the sub-topics of gay actor and actresses, gay rights and gay marriages. I am sorry that question has upset a few of you.

Im looking for excersises to excel my practicalites in the area of symbolic logic and the like (Or anything that is similar that may help in writing aritcles of philosophy). Yes, I am a beginner in the subject so I would appreciate some assistance in discovering some websites that will increase my abilities to apply this subject--a website that may allow me to utilize this subject in a practical sense, not just reading the literal sense. I have to learn by doing, not just reading. I have some introductory material on the subject with some excersises in the books, but for some odd reason I still feel Im not getting the needed substance to press forward. Any additional information will help, and any suggestions would be accepted!! Perhaps even an example from someone, or pointers as well. Thanks so much. Blessings.

From the book version I don't because I think the story is more about how we can misjudge people. Not a romance. It in includes romance but I don't think that was the message.
