Arts & Humanities - 3 November 2007

My poems are usually too long for contests, or too short to have a decent chance (who would ever pick a winner that was a haiku, right? no matter how good), or they contain spacing that make them somewhat concrete and won't translate onto a site... do you have to decide between showing any kind of poem you want and having a shot, or is there a place where you can enter anything?




"One for the squashed."

O pioneer, that entered our sterile Arcadia
in the name of your brave kind, you
dared show yourself, to quietly claim
in your corner you belonged, too. Nothing
would have come of it - no mate, no prey.

Still, too light to trigger nerves, you strode
upon the perceptions of unwelcoming gods.
They stomped you one for good measure.
You both knew it at the start - you were,
intolerably, the stronger.

I was thinking about that question last night and kept wondering what the answer was.

I have to find a poem or song that has literary devices like alliteration, similes, onomatopoeias and stuff like that in it. I don't need help explicating it, just finding a good one. If you can give me a good website that has a list of good poems, that would be nice too. :-D

Hi, I'm doing a case study on Albert Speer and have "Inside the third reich", his written book, and another book of him being interviewed, but am finding it hard to find any DVD documentarys on him.

I dont want all of my study to consist of bookwork as I want to show I used technology, like the internet. Does any of you know of any english subtitled or spoken documentarys on him? The closest I've found was Speer und Er" but thats in German and I dont think theres subtitles.

The history channel has only shown him in small parts when ever they referred to Hitler when he was in Obersalzberg.

I mean literally. Apparently even though he hated cigarette smoke, drunkenness and recreational drug use, he was on a lot of uppers and downers and increasingly so as his empire crumbled. This may have been a significant factor in his bizarre behaviour. Just curious.

(apparantly Goering was a major morphine addict among other things but its hard to confirm as people rarely talk about this aspect of Nazi history)

P.S. - for the record I hate the Nazis and everything they stood for, I'm just a student of History and trying to understand what went on in this dark period of human history.

I want to get a tattoo, and I want it to be unique, but I'm not an artist...Lol.
So I was wondering if there was any way that someone could draw me a tattoo design and send it to me via e-mail.
If there is, this is what I want [I'm getting one on each wrist.]:
On my left wrist I want the chinese symbol of strength, and I want it in between angel wings.
On my right wrist I want the chinese symbol of Courage, and I want cherry blossoms around it.

It would be awesome if someone could draw it for me. If not, I can try to find someone else to do it...Or attempt it myself...Haha. :]

i'm look for more complex ideas, NOT the really cheesy pop up card ideas (ie, the overdone "duck opening its beak" gag, etc). Something that emphasizes "things are not as they seem", as in the underlying theme in Macbeth? Maybe like this :http://www.library.unt.edu/rarebooks/exhibits/popup2/tuck.htm
but more complex? and please no book suggestions, i'm keeping that a last resort, as i really don't want to spend that much money on a high scool project. thanks :)

Judging someone is essentially holding someone responsible for their choices. Judgement seems to be the antithesis of compassion.

So by this line of reasoning, compassion does not allow for us to hold people responsible for their actions. Right?

...for questioning does not mean disvaluing; rather, it means let's open up and expose it in every facet and in every corner as to truly see if it holds up to it's name.
