“The Kite Runner” is a story of a young boy’s thwarted journey to be his fathers pride and joy.

To what extent do you agree?

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet know its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.

THE HARLEM DANCER

by: Claude McKay (1890-1948)

APPLAUDING youths laughed with young prostitutes
And watched her perfect, half-clothed body sway;
Her voice was like the sound of blended flutes
Blown by black players upon a picnic day.
She sang and danced on gracefully and calm,
The light gauze hanging loose about her form;
To me she seemed a proudly-swaying palm
Grown lovelier for passing through a storm.
Upon her swarthy neck black, shiny curls
Profusely fell; and, tossing coins in praise,
The wine-flushed, bold-eyed boys, and even the girls,
Devoured her with their eager, passionate gaze;
But, looking at her falsely-smiling face
I knew her self was not in that strange place.

Much madness is divinest Sense
To a discerning Eye
Much Sense- the starkest Madness
"tis the Majority
In this, as all, prevail-
Assent- and you are sane
Demur- you're straightway dangerous

if ur kid asked u "why should i be good?" u'll probably answer "because there's the police". This answer seems sufficient to the atheist, but if the kid continued to say "but if i'm Superman, why then should i be good?" "It's good to be good" but why then shouldn't it also good to own the world. This question can only be answered "There's a God who's infinitely more powerful, and u'll always lose". Only the logic that u can never succeed is a sufficient answer

TELL ALL THE TRUTH BUT TELL IT SLANT

Tell all the truth but tell it slant
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
To Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind-

Imagine prisoners, who have been chained since their childhood deep inside a cave: not only are their limbs immobilized by the chains; their heads are chained in one direction as well, so that their gaze is fixed on a wall.

Behind the prisoners is an enormous fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway, along which statues of various animals, plants, and other things are carried by people. The statues cast shadows on the wall, and the prisoners watch these shadows. When one of the statue-carriers speaks, an echo against the wall causes the prisoners to believe that the words come from the shadows.

The prisoners engage in what appears to us to be a game: naming the shapes as they come by. This, however, is the only reality that they know, even though they are seeing merely shadows of images. They are thus conditioned to judge the quality of one another by their skill in quickly naming the shapes and dislike those who play poorly.

Suppose a prisoner is released and compelled to stand up and turn around. At that moment his eyes will be blinded by the sunlight coming into the cave from its entrance, and the shapes passing by will appear less real than their shadows.

The last object he would be able to see is the sun, which, in time, he would learn to see as the object that provides the seasons and the courses of the year, presides over all things in the visible region, and is in some way the cause of all these things that he has seen.

You've ruined someone's life so bad and there is NOTHING you could do to fix it? How can I just move on especially when I'm so used to fixing things that I've screwed up especially that's what makes me feel better what I did fixing them. Now how am I supposed to feel better? I'm so crushed. : ( It's like the drunk driver who've killed a mother's baby boy. There is nothing that driver can do to bring that child back. What do you do in situation's like that?
