Ten years has pass since he and his brother had awoken. They had both emitted out a wave of voices unknowingly, awakening those whom the voices whisper to, those who had held potential heard these voices and heeded their call, learning about their powers. Behind Complex eyes, a voice whisper to him, guiding his consciousness, and he was sent to a scene of two power user fighting one another. He wonder were they enemies, like villains and heroes? But wait can you really call one a hero and one a villain? Complex thought. What decide what is good and what is evil? he asked. His brain started up try to solve the question, but every time it came close to solving it, it just seem to glitch freezing the whole equation in his mind and continuously restarting from scratch. Complex wiped the question from his mind deciding to give up on it like numerous of other questions that he had asked before but could not solve. He turned his attention back to the two, He saw an ice the length of an arm take shape forming an arrow and flew by his face, causing a small breeze to follow after, more was rapidly created to replace those that had been thrown, the ice user fingers glow a light blue every time an ice arrow was created, but each and every time one was thrown the other person would lift up his hand, making a gun out of it and quickly pointed with his finger, it glow a dull red/yellow color, he squinted rapidly aiming and taking out the incoming ice arrows, a piercing fire flowed out from his fingertips flying straight into the arrows making them shatter mid air. The shatter ice sparkle raining down onto the field.
"Yo Ant" the ice user called out, "stop shooting my arrows, let me hit you with one of them, I promise you it will only sting a bi...

He opened his eyes to be met with the the white ceiling with scientist walking all around his Cybercore, watching and recording. Eventually he looked pass them and his thoughts settle back onto Tommy. Tommy. What was he? Why was he so special? How did he sense him? As usual his mind started working to figure out the answer to his question and as usual as it was usually when it came to people, it came out as an error. He wiped his mind clear and sigh. He closed his eyes to fall to sleep. One last thing pass by his mind as he fell to sleep and it whisper to him, One. On.. O...
A/N decided just to publish this chapter thanks to my friend pestering me about, please tell me what you think, feeback comment.

...dage and Freedom. The way Tom broke both of these parts down in his way impressive. The chapter itself was very good but the two charts that I mentioned really caught my attention most of all. The chart of Judaism, Christianity, designed by Coffman. This was place strategically by Tom in a very good place in his explanation of this part of his book. Another example of a good gathering of your resources and placing them in good spots. The last two chapters are like the rest put together. Overall, this was a well-written book. It was easy to read and to understand. The more I read the book and didn’t put it down. It took me two days to read and the only reason I put it down between the days was that I fell asleep with it in my hands. When I see Tom, again I will personally thank him for writing this. I will also tell him that I got a lot out of it. Good Book!
I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys historical fiction books where the characters learn life-altering lessons. I also feel that people of all ages would enjoy this book because it’s messages and theme was very positive. While I did enjoy this book, I think I will not be reading another historical fiction novel for my upcoming book response.
My overall opinion of this book is good I really liked it and recommend it to anyone. It is a good book to read and it keep you interested throughout the whole book.
Criticisms (Unfavourable): Near the end of the book the dialogue becomes more rhetorical than the rest of the book. This isn’t really a problem, but can become slightly confusing at times. The best option would be to read this part slowly and carefully in order to understand what the message is.
In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.
In The Ethics of Authenticity Charles Taylor makes a radical claim that we only become capable of understanding ourselves and defining our identity through dialogue. He says humans are fundamentally dialogical creatures (29) and cannot develop into individuals without interaction with others. Through dialogue we are able to exchange our ideas with others and construct our values and beliefs from bits and pieces we hear. This is how we become authentic humans. Authenticity is being true to yourself. It almost seems paradoxal; to discover your individuality you must converse with others. Charles Taylor also believes that some lives are better than others, based on how authentically a life is lived. In modern society, where soft relativism prevails, this view is often seen as unacceptable. Current thought seems to be that lives are all equal; in fact the choices we face have neither a right nor a wrong answer. Charles Taylor believes this causes people to become self absorbed, and can bring about a loss of meaning in their lives.
Antisocial personality disorder is a personality disorder marked by a general pattern of disregard for a violation of other people’s rights. Explanations of antisocial personality disorder come from the psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and biological models. As with many other personality disorders, psychodynamic theorists propose that this disorder starts with an absence of parental love during infancy leading to a lack of basic trust. In this view, the children that develop this disorder respond to early inadequacies by becoming emotionally distant, and they bond with others through use of power and destructiveness. Behavioral theorists have suggested that antisocial symptoms may be learned through modeling, or imitation. As evidence, they point to the higher rate of antisocial personality disorder found among the parents of people with this disorder. Other behaviorists suggest that some parent’s unintentionally teach antisocial behavior by regularly awarding a child’s aggressive behavior. The cognitive view says that people with this disorder hold attitudes that trivialize the importance of other people’s needs. Cognitive theorists also believe that these people have a genuine difficulty recognizing a point of view other than their own. Finally studies show that biological factors may play an important role in developing antisocial disorder. Researchers have found that antisocial people, particularly those with high impulse and aggression, display lower serotonin activity and has been linked this same activity with other studies as well.
If we look at sociology in general, it is a study of society and human behavior. However, to be able to understand it in deeper sense we need to understand humans itself and how they interact with one another in a crowd. This involves observing humans in a micro (individual itself) and a macro level (how an individual interacts with government, family and other social institutions. As we all know, the great sociologist, C. Wright Mills defined the term “Sociological Imagination” which helps us understand the connection between individual and sociological demographics along with the history and biography. Another famous sociologist named W. E. B. DuBois wrote a book “Souls of Black Folks” where he explained the struggles of black people in the United States during The Civil War. I believe that the concept of Sociological Imagination and Idea of Double Consciousness are very intertwined with each other and can be synced to explain many behaviors of our society.
“Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson presents Melinda’s (a teenage girl) life as she drifts through her adolescent years, where she struggles to overcome internal depression, as well as typical issues, involving her social life. Melinda’s life in an obscure world, where enigmatic challenges constantly clog her path towards a normal and healthy life, she feels lost and betrayed. Likewise, the boy that raped her attends the same school as her, causing her to have constant memories of the event. Thus, Melinda’s defective life compromising of rape, lack of communication, and depression mirrors the lives of many teens around the world. In addition, this book revolves around the dominant theme of adolescence, resulting to an effect of a realistic- fiction novel.
...nd enjoyable. The one thing that did bug me was that Youngs does not directly tie his thesis directly to the end of the book. It would have been helpful for the reader to be able to confirm Youngs’s intention for writing the book, but since he fails to re-introduce his argument in the end, it left me questioning that intention.
I saw her walk over to the dressing table. I watched her appear in the circular glass of the mirror looking at me now at the end of a back and forth of mathematical light. I watched her keep on looking at me with her great hot-coal eyes: looking at me while she opened the little box covered with pink mother of pearl. I saw her powder her nose. When she finished, she closed the box, stood up again, and walked over to the lamp once more, saying: "I'm afraid that someone is dreaming about this room and revealing my secrets." And over the flame she held the same long and tremulous hand that she had been warming before sitting down at the mirror. And she said: "You don't feel the cold." And I said to her: "Sometimes." And she said to me: "You must feel it now." And then I understood why I couldn't have been alone in the seat. It was the cold that had been giving me the certainty of my solitude. "Now I feel it," I said. "And it's strange because the night is quiet. Maybe the sheet fell off." She didn't answer. Again she began to move toward the mirror and I turned again in the chair, keeping my back to her.
This analysis will examine an interaction ritual between two colleagues using a qualitative approach. This meaningless interaction is an example of how conversations build the foundation for a social bond, producing and reproducing the epistemology around social interactions in everyday life. The interaction between two people actively produces social interactions through a process of internalisation, which is socially constructed. The social construction of the rules around interaction rituals forms the basis for common sense knowledge. In turn, a sense of social structure is created in which members perceive the world as a naturalistic entity independent of perception. For this interaction is it appropriate to use
Finally this project ends with a personal comment on the third chapter as well as on the whole book.
“The room was silent. His heart pounded the way it had on their first night together, the way it still did when he woke at a noise in the darkness and waited to hear it again - the sound of someone moving through the house, a stranger.”(4)
Voetbal is al tientallen jaren lang volksport nummer één in Nederland. Deze sport blijft nog steeds razend populair en heeft de Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbal Bond (KNVB) nog steeds het hoogste aantal actieve leden in Nederland. Toch verlopen de wedstrijden in het voetbal niet altijd even probleemloos. Uit cijfers van de KNVB valt een stijging in het wangedrag waar te nemen. Deze cijfers geven echter nog maar een klein deel aan, omdat veel incidenten en misstanden in het amateurvoetbal nog onvermeld blijven op het wedstrijdformulier.
