Gandhi once said, ”Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born on October 2, 1869, was born to a poor family in Portbandar, India. By the mid 19th century, Britain had conquered most of India's geographic and political regions, but eventually became economically dependent on India. However, for the people of India, this not only created a huge economic downfall, but it also caused starvation that killed 30 million alone. Coming back from his training as a lawyer from South Africa, Gandhi had witnessed many accounts of racism and unjust rule in Africa. Influenced by many authors and religion, Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance helped end an unjust rule in India. But what does “nonviolent resistance really mean?

Algebrand and I were playing this game the other day and we realized how creepy it was. For example, 'live' backwards is 'evil' (gosh, I hear you cry) and 'lived' backwards is (scary, scary) 'devil'.

But...but, the most shocking one of all is 'backwards' itself! Because instead of spelling 'forwards' it is actually 'sdrawkcab', which sounds like the kind of thing Ossie Osbourne would say!

This was in a text book for kids learning English as a second language. There was a list of sentences to complete:

My favorite color IS BLUE.
My favorite food IS PIZZA.
My favorite fruit ____________????????????

The problem I see is that "fruit" is a countable noun in this sentence, and countable nouns don't fit into this sentence structure. Try the possibilities:

My favorite fruit is apple --NO...
My favorite fruit are apple.-- NO...
My favorite fruit is an apple.--Sounds wrong,...
My favorite fruit is the apple -- I think this is actually correct but it still sounds stupid,...

What do you think?

Sometimes I feel like my dad really couldn't understand how knee-deep I am from school. Do you think because of technology and the improvement of communications students have to cram bigger amounts of stuff into their brains as well as their schedule? I mean I'm no baby, I'll do what I have to do, but sometimes it really seems totally ridiculous, and my parents are on a different page with me when I discuss it with them.

I didn't sign up for the orientation right away, because I thought I would be free all summer and I would be fine, signing up later for a later time, however, my grandmother is dying, and my family booked us a flight to Japan for a stay of 5 weeks in June to August, to stay with the rest of the family. The only orientation times left are those in July to August. Ugh, I know I should have signed up earlier, but at the time, I was not even considering going to this college, but due to a recent, severe financial crisis I am most likely going here. I was also waiting to earn enough money for the flight and orientation fee/ other stuff AND the only computer and internet I have available were not working for a long time. GUUH, what should I do? This is such a small issue compared to my grandma's health, but its mandatory. Should I call the college, what should I say? I can't bother my parents right now, and don't want to add to their stress over this and family leeches. Help me please...
