'The Straight Path' John L. Esposito It can be a difficult task to convey large amounts of information, in this case the aspects of the Islamic religion, in a meaningful and clear manner. However, The Straight Path by John. L. Esposito manages to do this very well. I approached this book with an open mind, and at the same time I had some ideas of what I was looking for already, considering the current material I have read and discussed in class with Dr. Yusuf and the class.

Throughout the song we hear from those members rap about their rough experiences in Compton.

Saturday Saturday. The first day of the weekend, the first day of freedom at the end of every week at school. Saturday was always a day of great anticipation for me during my younger years. It signified not only the beginning of a weekend away from the rigours of Primary school and learning my times tables, but also my first real social experiences. Saturday was ‘Club Day’. At around the age of 8 or 9, my Mum decided that I needed to get out into the real world and get a taste of ‘Saturday

(Baechle, Earle, 2008) By placing the hands in this position it will create the motion that will occur. The body of the performer should be in a straight line.

My target behavior was slouching, which is defined as not having my back straight, drooped shoulders and having my head head down. To record my behavior, I had a sheet made on my phone to record how many times I slouched that day, by the hour. So, at the end of every hour I checked whether or not I was slouching or not and recorded that onto my phone. I then took this data and transferred it daily to my graph on excel, to maintain a consistent record. The baseline data went for 59 days and the treatment
advancement in an ever changing world can be found in the ability to think straight.

right path. It came down to heaven or hell - choose. I think it was willed for Dante to see this place while he was still living. By seeing hell while he was alive Dante could be sure and make the right choices to find his way back to the straight path. Being on the right path in his lifetime would ensure he would not spend eternity in such a miserable place. I believe the whole purpose of this journey into hell was to let Dante see the anguish there and choose. Perhaps this was a
of the "afterlife" to create a somewhat realistic yet somewhat imaginary model of the afterlife. In the first lines of the Divine Comedy, Dante says "In the middle of the journey of our life I came to my senses in a dark forest, for I had lost the straight path."(Dante 1416 lines 1-3) This is the typical stereotype of today for when a person becomes "lost" or consumed in sin. The sinful life is a dark life and a sinless life is a bright, white, and pure life. Dante's coming to his senses in a dark
Since the dawn of mankind, humans have always held an instinctual desire to travel. There is a route to any destination, and in this day and age, these routes are much faster due to the implementation of interstate systems. These long, straight highway roads provide America’s citizens a place to drive their cars at higher speeds, thus allowing us to reach our destination much faster than taking standard roads. When Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, he set into motion
The Scared Straight Program The recent media obsession with the scared straight program, juvenile boot camps and other scare tactics has lead to the question as to whether they actually are beneficial or not in treating adolescent criminal recidivism. On television programs like Maury (Pauvich) the answer to treating the troubled young girls who are brought to the show is boot camp. Those in charge take these girls to prisons, dangerous streets at night and often morgues to make a visual argument

Controlling the Truth The film Straight Outta Compton, a box office hit, was a well-depicted film that focused on the hard struggles of a California rap group called N.W.A. during the late-1980s to mid-1990s. However, audiences have questioned the reality of the film Straight Out of Compton, for omitting the incident in which former N.W.A. member Dr. Dre assaulted reporter Dee Barnes. Although, this altercation is factual, this was not the intended message the film was meant to portray. For audiences
Every individual has experiences specific to their life. When these shared experiences combine, they make up the human condition. “Life almost straight” can be compared to a road, and that road represents life. The majority of life, people go down the straight road, but it would not truly be life without bumps and turns caused by the stages of the human condition. Human experiences can be vastly different, but all come together within the human condition. Each individual will experience birth, growth
I think the first thing that becomes more difficult to do in a musical then in a straight play is the casting. Musicals can require hiring a larger cast and a bigger artistic panel, which can be good or bad thing. The good thing about a larger group of people is that you get to work with a variety of unique talents and this can also allow directors to try more artist direction on stage. The bad thing is that with a larger group it can also mean artist butting heads which can cause tension in rehearsal
