Is there anything wrong with being realistic?
Action and change doesn't happen only with the idealists you know...

In the Principles of Human Knowledge, Sec. 23, Berkeley says, "But, you say, surely there is nothing easier than to imagine trees, for instance, in a park or books existing in a closet and nobody nearby to perceive them. . . . But do you not yourself perceive them or think of them all the while?" It appears the same point is made in the Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, starting on p. 429, Col. B. Hylas says he can easily conceive of a body unperceived. He forms an idea of a tree, and in the idea there is no human being perceiving the tree. Then Philonous points out that Hylas himself is conceiving the tree he is trying to imagine is unperceived.

1. Why does Berkeley make this point? What does he think the point shows?

2. Do you think the point Berkeley makes succeeds in accomplishing what he wants to with it?

I have recently finished and illustrated a children's book, and was just wondering how I would go about getting a copyright for it.
Is it expensive?
Do you recommend it?

Any input would be helpful.

I would not because I know that my life will only be lived once.
It is my duty to preserve it, not to sacrifice it.
I respect humanity a great deal but I respect myself a great deal more.

Anyone who knows history well...

I've heard once before that history does not show evidence that hebrew slaves built pyramids as the old testament in the bible would suggest. I can't find much on this when I looked up in google, just more biblical references... however, I am not Christian, I am just curious.

Did it happen?

My book is about to come out. Because its page number exceeds what it was initially contracted, the publisher charges me a significant sum of subvention from me, in addition to what I have already paid. If I refuse, the publisher says to cancel the contract. However, estimation given in the mid-production process when all pages were ready, the publisher did not inform me of any extra cost. Is there anything I can do?

I am really obsess with arts since when I am standard 6. My parents said tht I will regret for the rest of my life if I didn't take their advise on taking art as a leisure & not as an ambition. Anyway, I told myself tht I will regret for sure if I didn't give it a try..There lots of elderly senior whom love arts said they try to hooked up on their ambition as long as they can but it juz wouldn't work cuz they can't survive any longer as in financially. Some said u will hv wait for 20 to 30years or so to be famous in the art industrial. Some said the drawing of an artist only being well known to the world once they are dead. IS THIS TRUE??? I hv a hard time to cope up with the real world. This is juz driving me insane!!! My eldest sis I should go for architect instead of art but I wouldn't want to design any building & measure..etc. I should draw wht I feel.. So, she came up with plan B. She pursued me to find another currier tht I like+high salary..So i chose to be a psycology since..

Can anyone give me a summary of this book? I would be extremely grateful. Please only reply if you've read the book and are willing to help.

Short unhelpful answers like "I haven't read it" or "read it yourself" will be deleted.

as i watch my cat
on his little tree
i think to myself
how nice it would be
to lie there and sleep
not a care in the world
just sitting and listening
to the sound of his purr
Wouldn't it be nice
to be a cat?
wouldn't it be nice
to be like that?

The poem "grandfather says" by Ai

http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/16453

-Discuss the relationship between the Visual, Auditory, and Thematic elements.

- the poet uses visual elements of the text, such as enjambment, stanzas or verse-paragraphs, formal lines or informal ones, etc. Why? How does that relate to the experience of reading the poem.

- the poet uses meter and rhyme to establish a varied cadence and pattern of sound. What sort of emphases or direction does that create?

- the themes, images, metaphors, and conceits (extended metaphors) conjure ideas, emotions, and concepts. To what end? And how has the poet used the visual and auditory elements to build on the thematic ones?

Please answer! I have taken continuous classes and done a lot of school plays to build up my resume, and I feel like I am extremely ready to sign with an agent.
I sent out my headshots/resumes, but I did not get the results I wanted. I posted my headshot/resume up on LA casting.
My best friend told me that she was in a showcase, and that's how she landed an elite agency to represent her when she had nothing on her resume.
I have been looking online and I can't find any showcases in the Los Angeles area!
Please, can you help me find one?
I'LL DO ANYTHING.
I already know about: Talent to Go and Cricket Feet.
Also, I don't care if I have to take a class to be in the showcase.

348. To Althea, from Prison

WHEN Love with unconfinèd wings
Hovers within my gates,
And my divine Althea brings
To whisper at the grates;
When I lie tangled in her hair 5
And fetter'd to her eye,
The birds that wanton in the air
Know no such liberty.

When flowing cups run swiftly round
With no allaying Thames, 10
Our careless heads with roses bound,
Our hearts with loyal flames;
When thirsty grief in wine we steep,
When healths and draughts go free—
Fishes that tipple in the deep 15
Know no such liberty.

When, like committed linnets, I
With shriller throat shall sing
The sweetness, mercy, majesty,
And glories of my King; 20
When I shall voice aloud how good
He is, how great should be,
Enlargèd winds, that curl the flood,
Know no such liberty.

Stone walls do not a prison make, 25
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love
And in my soul am free, 30
Angels alone, that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.
