Sacred Hoops

Using the principles of Zen Buddhism and the ideals of the Lakota Sioux warrior, Phil Jackson teaches his players how to work hard even when the spotlight is on someone else. The book continues on subjects like religion, spirituality, and unity among the team and with ones self. These were all new concepts for me. Though I embraced the ideas, I was skeptical of the practice. It was not until I read the book that I realized that the practice of these concepts could be as easy and much more unstructured then I previously had thought.

Romeo And Juliet (old Vs. New)
Words: 588 - Pages: 3.... than in the newer version. I feel that her shyness makes her more desireable. It makes their romance seem much more innocent and more meaningful at the same time. I feel that the new Romeo is much less shy in the newer version. This makes their love seem much more lustful, rather than meaningful. Another actor that seemes to change drastically is Tybalt. In the original version, he seems to be much more in control. Tybalt in the newer version is extremely bitter and much more controlled by his uncle.
There are other subtle differences between the two movies, including the scenes. The original movie is set in a very traditional s .....

that lies one moment or misstep away (Votleler 272).
The man sees that he is feeling the effects of the cold more and more as
he goes along, but more than ever he pushes on. Several times he comments that
the cold is making his hands and feet numbed, and frostbite is killing his
cheeks. He thinks "What were frosted cheek? A bit painful, that was all. . ."
(120). Again he chose to ignore an instinct that would have saved him.

Catch 22
Words: 888 - Pages: 4.... they both have to crush the human spirit. Heller uses a war zone setting, to satirise society at large. He compares the commanding officers to Incompetent businessmen.

One Hundred Years Of Solitude
Words: 626 - Pages: 3.... the long time committed men. In my eyes, the Bromden is a key character in the whole book. The Chief, in reality, is 6 foot 7 inches tall, but in his mind he sees himself as a man only two or three feet tall. This is because he has received over 200 electro-shock treatments and has been physiologically beaten to think that he is an inferior being to all others but he is not alone. All of the patients in the ward have had this done to them, some more than others. Another thing that sets the Chief apart is the fact that he has led everyone to think he is deaf and mute. This has enabled him to hear some of the secrets of the ward because ever .....

Shakespeare And Frost - Masters Of Their Trade
Words: 747 - Pages: 3.... tree.
"The tree the tempest with a crash of wood,
Thrown down in front of us is not to bar
Our passage to our journeys end for good."
The first three lines of this stanza already expose this existentialist message. When read literally we see a group of travellers whose passage has been impeded by a tree which has fallen across the path of these travellers, however when we read deeper into the passage we find Frost referring to "Our journey", a term commonly used in existential writing as a description of life, and the tree a representation of the problems or hurdles faced in life. In his poetry Frost commonly re .....

Frankenstein 2
Words: 996 - Pages: 4.... was a man who was put by God in the land of paradise without wisdom or contact with any other being. He was told by God to choose between right and wrong during his lifetime. God also gave Adam advice and hints, like, to not eat the apples from a certain tree because that would lead him to evil. Adam took this into consideration, but broke his promise and ate the apple. This is similar to Victor and the monster because, in the book, Victor represented God and the monster represented Adam. Victor like God, created human life "not following the law of nature", the difference was that the monster did not have his creator there to tell him what .....

Miadventures Of Don Quixote
Words: 505 - Pages: 2.... convinced a simple-minded peasant named Sancho to become his squire, promising him wealth and a high spot in society. This book consists of many adventures these two had, both were convinced that they were doing brave and honorable acts of chivalry, when they were only two fools running around the countryside.
Cervantes tries to make his book more interesting with the use of point of view. Don Quixote sees what his mind and imagination create, not that which is transferred through the optic nerves in a very clean-cut scientific manner. He retreats to a world that holds meaning for him. When he first departs, he stops at an inn and his eyes .....

Since Socrates believed that qualities of a community are those of the component individuals, we may expect to find these 3 corresponding elements in each individual soul. However, the structure of the society is based on the fact that they are developed to different degrees in different types of character. Together with the application of the law of specialization and division of labor, we can see clearly how these distinct classifications of social function can lead to the wel .....

their collective unconscious. The collective unconscious was
discovered by the renown psychologist Carl Jung. Let us now look
further into each individual character in the novel, and discover how

Ralph is one of the older boys on the island and remains the
leader throughout most of the novel. He is described as a pure,
English lad. Such details as his fair hair and the fact that he is
wearing his school sweater symbolizes many things. First of all the
