...B. TRAVEN Canasta de cuentos mexicanos ÍNDICE Canastitas en serie Solución La Tigresa Amistad El suplicio de San Antonio Aritmética indígena Dos burros Una medicina efectiva Jugando con bombas Corresponsal extranjero inesperada 1 de 101 CANASTITAS EN SERIE En calidad de turista en viaje de recreo y descanso, llegó a estas tierras de México Mr. E. L. Winthrop. Abandonó las conocidas y trilladas rutas anunciadas y recomendadas a los visitantes extranjeros por las agencias de turismo y se aventuró a conocer otras regiones. Como hacen tantos otros viajeros, a los pocos días de permanencia en estos rumbos ya tenía bien forjada su opinión y, en su concepto, este extraño país salvaje no había sido todavía bien explorado, misión gloriosa sobre la tierra reservada a gente como él. Y así llegó un día a un pueblecito del estado de Oaxaca. Caminando por la polvorienta calle principal en que nada se sabía acerca de pavimentos y drenaje y en que las gentes se alumbraban con velas y ocotes, se encontró con un indio sentado en cuclillas a la entrada de su jacal. El indio estaba ocupado haciendo canastitas de paja y otras fibras recogidas en los campos tropicales que rodean el pueblo. El material que empleaba no sólo estaba bien preparado, sino ricamente coloreado con tintes que el artesano extraía de diversas plantas e insectos por familia. El producto de esta pequeña industria no le bastaba para sostenerse. En realidad vivía de lo que cosechaba en su milpita: tres y media hectáreas...

...Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values,reason, mind, and language.[1][2] Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.[3] In more casual speech, by extension, "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group".[4] The word "philosophy" comes from the Ancient Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom".[5][6][7] The introduction of the terms "philosopher" and "philosophy" has been ascribed to the Greek thinker Pythagoras.[ Epistemology is concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge,[11] such as the relationships between truth, belief, and theories of justification. Logic is the study of the principles of correct reasoning. Arguments use either deductive reasoning or inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is when, given certain statements (called premises), other statements (called conclusions) are unavoidably implied. Ethics Ethics is one of the major branches of philosophy and an ethical theory is part and parcel of all philosophies broadly conceived. The aim of ethics has been viewed in different ways: according to some, it is the discernment of right from wrong actions; to others, ethics separates that which is morally good from what is morally bad;... Metaphysics is one of the core branches...

...“anyone lived in a little how town” ee cummings • non-conformity • form = function o Poe’s unity of effect o poem = unique, does not conform to any poetic standards, grammatical rules, expectations • songs: o Justice & Independence, Jack & Diane (JC Mellencamp) o The Dance, The River (Garth Brooks) E. E. Cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town" tells the story of anyone. The name has a double meaning; anyone could be anyone in the dictionary definition sense, and could be seen as a singular entity, reinforcing the theme of isolation the independent individual has from the rest of society. The events all occur in a "pretty how town". "Pretty" connotes a mere façade, describing the superficiality of the town's inhabitants. "How", an adverb, is used as an adjective here. It could be describing the extent of the town's prettiness, but a better reason is that it describes the routine humdrum of the town's activities, since "how" also means "in a method or manner". The juxtapositions continue into the next line, "(with up so floating many bells down)". The rhythm of the line and the vowels emulate both the motion and the sounds of bells. This line occurs again later in the poem, and its function here is the same as it is there - to signify the passing of time. The next line is an ordered list of the seasons, also symbolizing the passing of time, describing anyone's activities as occurring continuously. The activities...

...appear. The poem begins with spring, and then moves into autumn with the second appearance of the line of seasons. “The trimester reinforces ‘autumn’ (11), often considered the metaphorical golden years of life as time like the line runs short” (Hunt, 231). Hunt’s interpretation of autumn parallels the life of anyone and noone thus representing noone loving anyone “more by more” as part of the life cycle (Cummings, 12). The poem then moves from autumn to winter when the speaker says “bird by snow” (15) and “only the snow can begin to explain” (22). In “Para-Grammatical Structure in a Poem of E.E. Cummings,” Lord states that the snow symbolizes “inanimate, death, rest, whiteness, winter, and silence” (71). Lord’s relationship between death and snow correlate to the passage of time by signifying that winter has come, and that death is the next stage in life. Most readers think of the stages of life ending at death; however, like the seasons, there is a rebirth. The speakers says “they dream their sleep / noone and anyone earth by april” (Cummings, 30-1) which indicates that “the seasons turn perpetually to ‘april’ (31) or spring” (Hunt, 231). Noone and anyone are now decomposing and become part of the earth as the seasons continue to move on. Cummings reiterates the passage of time again with the addition of the final strand of seasons “summer autumn winter spring” giving the reader the notion that time does not stopped because of death (34). The syntax change of the...

...My journey began early monday morning around 7:00 A.M. at my sisters' house, Sara, in the coastal city of Newport Beach, California. Along with her was her husband, Jeremy, their two sons Sklyer and Logan, and myself. We were packing our belonging into their new vehicle to prepare for a trip to Jeremys' parents' house in the Mojave Desert. As we began to drive away i noticed all the lush green grass, the palm trees that seemed as tall as any building, and all the people outside carring on their lives. Then i glazed at the sparkling water in the ocean and thought how difficult it must be to live in desert conditions. Residents of the Mojave desert must live a more resislient life than most. We started out in bumper to bumper traffic on the highway. Hearing the sounds of car horns and motorists passing by i decided to play a movie to kill some time on our long voyage. It was shortly after the movie ended that we entered Barstow, California. The last source of gas and civilization for the next 40 miles. I gazed around noticing that this is the begining of the desert with a lack of plant life except for small patches of weeds and cactus. And i wondered what kind of place are we going to that is this sucluded from society. Skyler and Logan asleep from being bored from constantly watching nothing but miles and miles of sand, stone, cactus, and brushes, are awoken when we came upon a borax mine museum next to the actual mining pits that are still being used to this day...

...people being loving, line 2, stanza 4, “she laughed his joy she cried his grief”. There are many different ways to approach this poem. You can figure out the themes and meaning or talk about how Cummings ties nature to the main idea, like how he uses the seasons to make the point that the feelings of the people of the town never change and the passing of time. Lewis Turco found two themes of this poem. His first theme is “how can anyone live in a pretty town” where nothing much goes on, where people worry only about themselves although they are involved with everyone else. His next theme is that people do in fact live in towns like this one where as Turco says, “they are anyone and noone, of no particular significance except to one another on an individual basis; anyone does mean something to noone and mostpeople-both care and do not care; both love and do not love; are important to one another and are not important at all.” These themes contrast and may seem to cancel each other but they do not. They both are true. I tied the theme of nature to the passing of time and how the people never change. E.E. Cummings uses the seasons and the weather to emphasize how people of the “pretty town” feelings. He uses the seasons in stanza 1 to imply that people are caught up in their everyday lives. In stanza 2, line 4, “sun moon stars rain” is used to imply that the people have their own trials and problems so they do not...

...Childhelp.org reported that, “Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving more than 6 million children (a report can include multiple children). The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations - losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect.” Most of these children are going unreported because they are too afraid of what is going to happen to them. When foster care is redesigned the propaganda that will follow will illustrate positivity instead of negativity. Changing the system structure is going to change the outlook of foster care. Children will call for help to a trusted adult, rather than in their bedroom closet to noone in particular. All kids who come from a tragic situation or an abusive home are more prone to a negative life in the future. The system was built to stop that issue but it has gone neglected for a long period of time that there is no particular it can be fixed. Those who are in foster care deserve a permanent home and a secure future, yet the system lacks support, unity, safety and a solid structure. To make those changes the system has to be redesigned to fit modern day...

...Problem Set 1. Stocks offer an expected rate of return of 18%, with a standard deviation of 22%. Gold offers an expected return of 10% with a standard deviation of 30%. a. In light of the apparent inferiority of gold with respect to both mean return and volatility, would anyone hold gold? If so, demonstrate graphically why one would do so. Explain. Answer: Even though it seems that gold is dominated by stocks, gold might still be an attractive asset to hold as a part of a portfolio. If the correlation between gold and stocks is sufficiently low, gold will be held as a component in a portfolio, specifically, the optimal tangency portfolio. Efficient frontier Efficient frontier b. Given the data above, re-answer part (a) with the additional assumption that the correlation coefficient between gold and stocks equals 1.0. Draw a graph illustrating why one would or would not hold gold in one’s portfolio. Could this set of assumptions for expected returns, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients represent an equilibrium for the financial markets? Explain. Answer: If the correlation between gold and stocks equals +1, then no one would hold gold. The optimal portfolio would be comprised of bills and stocks only. Since the set of risk/return combinations of stocks and gold would plot as a straight line with a negative slope (see the following graph), these combinations would be dominated by the stock portfolio. Of course, this situation could not persist...
