- 101: Communism In The USSR
- ... it really worked. It doesn^t say that the theory never worked out, because it is impossible to make it work. I am going to tell some things about communism in USSR where my parents lived all their lives, but when I was born it was already dying out. So, mostly everything that I am going to tell is based on what my parents and grandparents told me about life in ... But at that time it was almost a religion, if one did not believe in it with all his/her heart he/she were terminated or sent to concentration camp where they either died or lived there for many years until all their doubts were beaten out of them. Jewish people were some of the people to who the government was the most unfair. They couldn^t get a good education ... pitiful civilian job, like a janitor, or some other dirty job with a salary, with which you can barely buy something to eat. These are some of the many experiences that my parents and grandparents lived through during their lives in the USSR. My experiences in that country are not that big. By the time I began to understand something about life and what was going on around me, Gorbachev ...
- 102: A New England Nun By Mary E WI
- ... threat to the serenity and security of a spinster's life. Imagery put forth by this story, and by stereotypes of the day is of the new England spinster. Women who were not married yet, lived a life of chores and piousness. They learned their domestic chores and other things that would make them presentable as a wife. They did gardening work, read literature, mended clothing and the sort. These women were dependent on men to come and take them, to change their lives. Those who were not chosen were called old maids or spinsters. They typically were wealthy enough not work, so they lived a singular existence at their homes. Their homes became prisons. Leaving the home was possible but there was nothing out of their home environment, so they were left with no other choice but to lead ... became used to solitude and even grew fond of it. When Joe returned he disturbed her life, just as he disturbed her work basket. Louisa's dog Caesar was chained up in the yard. He lived a lonely existence with only his dog house and a couple feet of chain in his world. Caesar was a prisoner of his home as Louisa was a prisoner to her's. The dog ...
- 103: Labor And Unions In America
- ... factory owners able to recruit farm girls as laborers? They did it by building decent houses in which the girls could live. These houses were supervised by older women who made sure that the girls lived by strict moral standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to help their families at home or to use ... order to lower the cost-and the price-of finished products. They increased the number of machines that each girl had to operate. In addition, they began to overcrowd the houses in which the girls lived. Sometimes eight girls had to share one room. In 1836, 1,500 factory girls went on strike to protest wage cuts. (The girls called their action a "turn out.") But it was useless. Desperately poor ... States was mainly a nation of small farms. By 1900, it was a nation of growing cities, of coal and steel, of engines and fast communications. Though living standards generally rose, millions of industrial workers lived in crowded, unsanitary slums. Their conditions became desperate in times of business depressions. Then it was not unusual for workers to go on strike and battle their employers. Between 1865 and 1900, industrial violence ...
- 104: Bruce Lee
- ... Mr. Lee, his wife Grace Lee, Bruce’s two sisters, Agnes and Phoebe, his older brother Peter, and later to be joined his little brother Robert. Bruce grew up in a very crowded house. He lived in a two bedroom flat. Upon the death of Mr. Lee’s brother, he, as in Chinese custom, had to taken in his whole brother’s Family and had to be the provider. This meant nearly 20 people lived in the flat. It was through his father’s connection that Bruce ultimately became a child film star. His own acting ability was clear from the beginning. Bruce posed as a great natural actor and ... gave it his all. And in a lot of cases, his all was the best. Reflections I find is both idolized and magnificent. He is one of the world’s best martial artist that ever lived. Maybe even to some people he was, is, and will always be the greatest martial artist that ever lived. He is a great man that can be looked at by many different angles: he ...

- 106: Bella
- ... there were dramas mixed with farces, the meanness turns to goodness, and good intentions turn to catastrophes. There were apartments, where I spent especially long time. One of them was on the second floor. There lived a family: mother, father, two children and a huge dog. A little bit later a third child and a turtle appeared. If it wouldn’t be for the interesting books, which they possessed, and remarkable ... spend long time, was 63rd apartment. It was on the eleventh floor. There was a remarkable atmosphere. After the visits to that flat I as though became healthier and also freshened up. In this flat lived a family consisting of the mother, father and a daughter. Apart from them there was a dog, a parrot and fishes in the aquarium. At first the animals were afraid of me, but then they got used to me when they understood that except for reading the books, I need nothing. Probably in this family I lived for the longest. Fully fed, quiet, and interesting, only the father complained all the time about something. I had clear feeling, that all the complaints he addressed nowhere and to no one, because he ...
- 107: Zoo Story - Existentialism
- ... he had to deal with the guilt that it was him who held the weapon that ended the life of Jerry. Peter had to face the rest of his life being aware of how others lived, and how one can feel so indifferent to the world yet live in the very same part of the city. Both Peter and Jerry had to accept that the world they lived in was a hostile universe. Peter led his life playing by the rules while Jerry decided to accept the cruelties of life the way they were. Peter found that to live in this hostile world ... accused him, make sense out of things and bring order. Both the men s acceptance, however, led to the isolation of the individual, where Jerry felt alone not by choice, while Peter, even though he lived according to the rules of society, still managed to isolate himself because he lived in a household of females. He achieved his sense of satisfaction with the world by coming to the same part ...
- 108: Remembering The Depression
- Anyone who lived through the Great Depression has special memories about this important time in American History. Personal glimpses into the lives of people we know can give us more information. The Great Depression was not only the longest, but also the worst, economic crisis in the Nation’s history. It reached nearly every area of society and affected millions of Americans. The main objective was to interview a person who lived during the 1930’s. It was able to be someone in the categories of Grandparent, relative, neighbor, or even a friend. I chose to interview my Grandma, Stella Ortega Saiz from Arizona who was born ... going and working at there hardest to maintain the money situation. While all this was occuring the main thing that kept them alive was the food. Back then during the days of the 1930s, they lived off of potatoes, beans, rice, tortillas, eggs and vegetables. Their food was not any different from what we have now. The clothing style was a little different from what people expected. To tell you ...
- 109: The Awakening 3
- ... her philosophy states that working for another s good or sacrificing yourself for another s happiness goes against the very nature of existence. Edna was not engaged in the pursuit of her finest abilities. She lived her life for others, not for herself. She was often put down because she failed in her duty toward their children. For the duration of her marriage, she stayed in her place as a childbearing wife, doing little but existing for the pleasures of her husband more as prized token than a companion. Her whole life, she lived the life her husband wanted her to. She never lived the life she wanted to. She had lived her own small life all within herself. She never challenged the extent of her abilities. She never attempted to transgress what was set for herself in ...
- 110: Justice In The Republic
- ... injustice, the life of a tyrant (Republic 344a). The portrait of Socrates provided by Plato in the Apology leads me to believe Socrates worked for a collective good. Although I believe I could argue he lived for himself, my heart tells me that Socrates lived for a shared good because he believed that, what was good for the community was good for him. While considering Socrates’ comparison of himself to a gadfly this becomes clear, for the gadfly maintains itself by means of the horse, but it also inspires action in the horse. One might accuse Socrates of self-serving motives by saying he lived his life to belittle others, but throughout his life Socrates goes around questioning people not to make them feel stupid, not because the gods ordered him to, but because he wanted people to live ...
