I like to read books by Chekov, James Joyce, Tolstoy, Hemingway, shakespeare, etc (literature, novel, detective, whatever, except TEENLIT). MY family said that it's not my age yet, I'm supposed to read books like princess diaries or whatever.. what do you think? Is it okay?

The French literaly enslaved Viet Nam. Pearl Harbor was not a naval museum (allthough they ran it like one) The Brits had their claws in the whole world. I have been reading "Interrogations: The Nazi Elite in Allied Hands, 1945 ." It states that the Allies were going to charge Goering with the war crime of bombing civilians. They thought better when they realized: "oh wait, that was us."

It took so long for your world smoke,
That let us, your own children choke,
To find your lair, and punnish you,
For not believing, our cries were true.

While we were born with hands together,
Were you there with us? no not ever.
No matter what commands you said,
Inside our hearts, we wished you dead.

For then we knew, the prayers we say,
Were always meant for better days.
When a snake of evil, was always dismissed,
And maybe then, you did exist.

While we were striving to survive,
We waited for your death to arrive.
We didn't know, all we had to do,
Was turn our wounded backs on you.

The book was published within last 15 years. I think the title is something like "Not much to tell" : letters from Ruby." I read a review of it and it was a non-fiction epistolary novel. The letters were between a sister and her other sisters and mother. The one sister had moved away from her hometown. The letters were written during the forties and fifties, I think and I think they all lived in the Mid-west. I really would like to find out the title so I could read it. Please help!

I have this theory that everybody has an opportunity to reach happiness. Rich, poor, clueless; those things don’t have to matter. I honestly believe that everyone in the world has at least one chance to be happy. The problem is, not all opportunities offer themselves to you. No, sometimes, they whip by you, so fast that by the time you look wildly around, they’re gone, without even the slightest of traces. Other times, they slam straight into you, and while you’re busy regaining your balance, they’re gone, just like that.
You’re probably wondering, “So why is that I’m not happy? Why are there so many miserable people in the world if they all can aim for happiness?” And I can understand that.
It’s like when you were little, and your friend had a big fluffy teddy-bear in her room, and you loved it so, so, so much that you went every day to her house to hug it. You wanted it so badly that you pleaded and begged until your parents bought it for you. But once you had it in (continued)

the Platonic Quest is partly a failure of nerve, a reluctance to cope with the complexity and uncertainty of the world as it is.

2006-12-16 10:57:42 · 4 answers · asked by Anonymous in Philosophy

the Platonic Quest is the quest for a universal ethical standard that aspires to conceptions of knowledge and ethics whose claims to validity are entirely independent of particular linguistic practices.

the most plausible conception of ethics is not only compatible but also requires a certain amount of internal as well as external compromise

I need to create an art piece with the theme of 'Dichotomy'.

36 hour Acrylic Painting for an AP Art class. My teacher is unclear of what dichotomy means so our class is confused of what we could do. Hopefully someone can enlighten me. Thanks!
