Sun Zhongshan said, "the people are both doing their best, they are all for a Pepsi, Pepsi, then the problem is also rich and powerful." Everyone in for a period of two days of "re take the road of the Red Army, red Fujian" theme activities, their contribution, two days we in this team care for each other, truly solidarity, forge ahead. There is excitement, there is moved, there is a touch. This practice I relive the revolutionary struggle history, visited the site of a major Communist China, the site of the second congress, the former residence of Qiu Jin, Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall, the former residence of Lu Xun, South Lake revolution memorial hall, to pay tribute to the martyrs relics, relive the revolutionary struggle history, cherish the memory of revolutionary martyrs. Listen to the story of the struggle, the image of the hero of the revolution. Inspired me to love the party's enthusiasm, to further realize the deep connotation of the red spirit. Although time is short, but I learned something many profound experience to the strong team spirit, no longer difficult things rely on the collective strength can also simplify it. A team has a common goal, the individual interests are subordinate to the interests of the team, and ultimately benefit our team, so that we benefit from our personal interests. "Paper...

...from Russian Empire. In 1914, the Russians captured the father and hanged him for supporting the Polish army. After his father died, his mother joined the Benedictine convent and became a nun. Maximilian Kolbe was not always a perfect boy. When he was young, people used to describe him as a wild child and sometimes made his parents very angry. However, everything changes around the time when he was about to receive his First Holy Communion at the age of 12. One night he had a vision, he saw the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary in front of him. During his vision, Maximilian asked the Virgin Mary what was to become of him. Mary showed him two crowns: one white and the other one red. The white crown meant he was going to keep his purity his whole life, and the red crown meant he was going to be become a martyr. Instead of Maximilian being afraid of the things he was hearing from Our Lady, he told the Virgin Mary he wanted to accept both. A year later, he and his older brother entered the Franciscan Fathers Seminary and started his life of prayer for the conversion of sinners and the enemies of the church. Maximilian love and devotion to the Virgin Mary was inspiring. In 1917, he created The Immaculate Devotion to Our Lady. The Militia had as a purpose to consecrate their life to the service of the church by praying for the conversion of sinners, and to spread the devotion to Mary. In 1918, he completed all his studies at the Gregorian University in Rome and was ordained a priest....

...subjective. Conflicting perspectives arise when two individuals experience the same situations, events or personalities, but take meaning from these experiences in opposing ways. Because of these contradictory views, we –as the audience – must challenge our assessment of the truth. We can do this by analysing the viewpoints presented by Ted Hughes’ confessional poems, The Minotaur and Red from his anthology The Birthday Letters (published 1998) and the feature article, Face of a People Smuggler by Fenella Souter, featured in Good Weekend (April 21, 2012). Through our analysis, we are able to separate fact from fallacy. The ‘truths’ presented by Ted Hughes’ The Minotaur are questionable because of the context in which Hughes released this poem. The Minotaur was published in 1998, after the controversial suicide of Sylvia Plath in 1963, and much of the blame for her death was placed upon Hughes. Feminist supporters of Plath especially vilified Hughes and upheld Plath as a ‘martyr to a misogynistic husband’. Through The Minotaur, Hughes aims to shift the general public’s perspective of Plath from the ‘martyr’ to ‘monster’. Hughes does this by introducing Plath in the first stanza as a paranoid, irrational and violent woman, incapable of considering anyone except herself, as she smashes his “mahogany table-top” which undoubtedly held sentimental value as it was his “mother’s heirloom sideboard … mapped with the scars of [his] whole life”. The strong imagery presented within this stanza...

...Lawrence declares that the “greatest thrill in life is to bring down the Sacred Saint with a flop into the mud.” Words with strong connotations, like “thrill,” “sacred,” “flop,” and “mud,” cause readers to imagine Prynne’s delight in spoiling a revered man. This image helps readers envision Prynne as a malevolent individual with cruel desires. In his sarcastic tone, Lawrence says, “A. Adulteress! Stitched with gold thread, glittering upon the bosom. The proudest insignia.” The words “adulteress,” “gold,” “glittering,” and “proudest” reflect that despite Prynne’s sin, she seems to be honored to have the red “A” on her. Lawrence’s choppy sarcasm shows that Prynne’s red “A” is not the valuable gift that Prynne interprets it to be, but a punishment for her misconduct. Lawrence’s usage of diction is very effective in illustrating Prynne’s immoral character. In his analysis of Hester Prynne, D. H. Lawrence uses literary techniques to convince his audience. Because of his sarcastic tone concerning Prynne’s actions, allusions to superior characters like Judith Hutter and Abel, and usage of choppy diction to present strong images, Lawrence revealed Prynne to be an immoral character and a poor role model. The culmination of Lawrence’s techniques results in the creation of Lawrence’s unique style. His example proves that using these techniques can help writers effectively convince...

...must avoid the tendency to become a martyr. Being a combination of yellow and blue, green encompasses the mental clarity and optimism of yellow with the emotional calm and insight of blue, inspiring hope and a generosity of spirit not available from other colors. Green promotes a love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. It is the color of the garden lover, the home lover and the good host. This color relates to stability and endurance, giving us persistence and the strength to cope with adversity. Green is the color of prosperity and abundance, of finance and material wealth. It relates to the business world, to real estate and property. Prosperity gives a feeling of safety to green. Red is the color at the end of the spectrum of visible light next to orange and opposite violet. Red is one of the additive primary colors of light, along with green and blue. Red can vary in shade from very light pink to very dark maroon or burgundy; and in hue from the bright orange-red scarlet or vermilion to the bluish-red crimson. This color is a warm and positive color associated with our most physical needs and our will to survive. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy. Red is energizing. It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action. It signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination.

...will be discussed in the essay. 1. If we must die (poem) by Claude McKay 2. A Litany for Survival (poem) by Audre Lorde 3. I have a Dream (speech) by Martin Luther King Analysis # 1: If we must Die: Honor and honorable death is one such theme that is the main focus of the poem, “If we must die” by Claude Mackay. Claude McKay wants his people that are under threat from the white people and are being killed. He wants them to die nobly. Islam has given a huge distinction to the one who dies honorably i.e. in the way of Allah. This means if a person is doing something good, or is on his way to doing a going deed and dies, he dies a martyr. The Prophet [SAW] said: "Whoever fights to protect his wealth and is killed, he is a martyr. Whoever fights to protect himself, he is a martyr. Whoever fights to protect his family is a martyr." (Sunnah.com) The sayings of the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH), can be related to the deaths of the black people that were killed due to the color of their skin. They are dying protecting their families and their rights. So this is an honorable death, like the poet says, “If we must die—oh, let us nobly die,” (McKay) The killings of black people...

...Mina Morkous Morkous 1 Mr. Donald Delo AP English Language and Composition February 21, 2013 The Coptic Orthodox Church’s Interpretation of the Signs in The Book of Revelations * The biggest question man asks is: “Where am I going in the after life?” From a Christian perspective, they wish to be saved in the Second Coming in order to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. This can be traced back to the Book of Revelation written by John the Beloved, a disciple of Jesus Christ. According to many Christian dogmas, The Book of Revelation is regarded as an interesting, complex, and a controversial book. Through this book, the reader sees a joyous picture; an open gate in heaven. Revelation means revealing the divine mysteries to mankind. It is a very difficult, symbolic book to understand. It is the only prophetic book of the New Testament, which holds facts beyond human understanding. The book’s use of numbers, symbols, colors, and similes resulted in a unique interpretation from the Coptic Orthodox Church. 0 In the beginning of the book, John explains that his days are near. He visions a shining Jesus, surrounded by seven stars and seven golden lamp-stands. In 2:1–3:22, John is given orders to deliver a message to each of the churches, addressing specific strengths and failings of each church, providing encouragement to some and driving others to repent before Judgment Day. God holds a scroll sealed with seven seals, and nobody...

This is a description for teachers about the big ideas and key understanding that students should take away after completing this task. Big Ideas and Key Understandings Writers use irony to fuel the plot of a story. Synopsis Bill and Sam decide that the best way to finance their upcoming land swindle is to kidnap the child of a wealthy citizen and hold him for ransom. The boy they choose, instead of being the docile, frightened child one would expect, is a terror who abuses Bill in every way he can think of, all in the name of fun. The response to their ransom note is not what they would have wished: instead of paying $1500 to get Johnny back, the father demands $250 to take the boy off their hands. In desperation, they agree, and end the story poorer than they began. Read the entire selection, keeping in mind the Big Ideas and Key Understandings.

...the scene of gay pride parades (evolving with time) in one of the most liberal and irreligious cities on Earth. He constantly refers to San Francisco as a flawed city with a, “golden gate bridge, not golden at all, but rust red,” (Rodriguez 28) as, “the end of quest,” (Rodriguez 28) not an end of a quest but the end of the quest. What is quest? I think, in the context of Rodriguez, it’s his internal conflict between his Mexican ethnicity, his Irish religiosity, and his homosexuality (which he is both fighting and accepting at the same time). Now I want to point out Rodriguez’s views of homosexuality at this time. He refers to the first parade as, “banners blocked single lives thematically into a processional mass, no unlike the consortiums of the blessed in Renaissance paintings, each saint cherishing the apparatus of his martyrdom.” (Rodriguez 26) To me this has an overly religious tone to it with the, “processional mass”, “consortiums of the blessed”, “saint”, and, “apparatus of his martyrdom.” It’s very interesting that he compares the people in the parade with martyrs, when all they’re doing is carrying around signs stating what they are. He is making the comparison that, while martyrs of the past were killed with all manner of devices, these “martyrs” were killed with who they are for being who they are. Then the parades advance from this martyrdom into something new with a revitalized emphasis on death in the form of AIDS and ARC. Now the parades have politicians supporting...

...India, even today. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism established this religion, free from the discriminating ideas of Hinduism and Islam. Guru Nanak Dev Ji carried the Divine Light, which allowed his body to be a platform for God to speak on. This light was passed on to the other nine Gurus who created the Guru Granth Sahib. The eighth Guru, Guru Harkishan Dev Ji, became a Guru at the age of five. His knowledge and power awed people who realized he was really divine. The lives of most Sikhs were threatened by religious hatred everyday. The fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, and the ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, both became martyrs. Guru Arjan Dev Ji was tortured with boiling water, thrown on burning sand, and was seated on a red-hot plate because he would not give up his faith. Similarly, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji also became a martyr. He refused to lose his faith and died saying God's name. Today, Sikhs are still dying for their beliefs. For Sikhs, their beliefs are declared in the Guru Granth Sahib. The Guru Granth Sahib contains the words of all ten Gurus and is the eternal...

...illness, sexuality, and suicide. Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton were two famous confessional poets. They both also suffered from mental illness which is often expressed in their poetry. Sylvia Plath’s “Lady Lazarus” and Anne Sexton’s “Her Kind” both use allusions and imagery to convey their emotions to the reader. In Sylvia Plath’s poem, there is an allusion in the title itself, “Lady Lazarus.” Lazarus refers to the biblical figure that was resurrected by Jesus Christ. It’s ironic that the speaker would choose a biblical reference when comparing it to her suicide attempt. Her ”resurrection” happened because she failed at taking her own life. Another allusion occurs at the end of the poem: “Out of the ash, I rise with my red hair, And I eat men like air.” She is referring to the phoenix found in Greek mythology. A phoenix is a long-lived bird that is frequently reborn. The speaker is obviously unhappy with life yet she uses allusions that represent a positive rebirth. The first lines of her poem state “I have done it again. One year in every ten I manage it—“ referring to the fact that she has attempted to commit suicide at least once per decade. “The second time I meant to last it out and not come back at all. I rocked shut as a seashell. They had to call and call and pick the worms off me like sticky pearls,” refers to the second time she attempted suicide. She took a bottle of sleeping pills and hid herself in a little corner of her cellar. Her mother...

...The Death of Marat Painting The Death of Marat is created by French artist Jacques-Louis David in 1973, in the size of 6550”(1.65 1.27”m), oil on canvas. Marat was a doctor, scientist and journalist. He fought for the freedom and democracy in France so that strongly supported by the middle class and lower class people, but also made enemies of the aristocracy. The picture depicts an on-going event. Figure lying in the bathtub in the painting is Marat. He was stabbed by Charlotte Corday, a Girondin from a minor aristocratic family against Marat, into the heart with a small blood splattered knife dropping on the ground, bleeding from the wound to the canvas covered on the bathtub. He laid on his side uncomfortably from the posture in the painting, and his right arm hung down the bathtub but holding a quill in the hand while the left hand tightly gripped a letter with blood, says”Please send this five francs to the mother of five children. Her husband gave his life for his country.” The money, the ink, another quill and a piece of paper placed on the khaki counter, which contrast to the dark blue blanket covered on the Marat’s naked body. The light, structure and space of the painting arranged appropriately but ordinary. The spot light plays from left to right, highlighted on Marat’s face, arms and letter in his left hand. Therefore his facial expression in sublime become more easy to see.In the meantime, the direction of the spot light also component of the whole structure...

...(“Pablo Picasso and his Paintings”). The Life of Picasso Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso was born in 1881, in Spain. Pablo Picasso, as he known by, was the son of Don José Ruiz Blasco, a painter and art teacher with whom Picasso studied under until he was thirteen years old, when he surpassed his father’s skill. When he was fourteen, his family moved to Barcelona, where he accepted into the city’s school of fine arts, despite the school generally only accepting older students. Two years later, Picasso moved to Madrid to attend the Royal Academy of San Fernando which only lasted two years due to the school’s lack of variety to appeal to Picasso (“Pablo Diego José…”). In 1901, Picasso moved to Paris to open his own studio. He found it to be the ideal place to practice new styles and art forms (“Pablo Picasso Biography”). From that point in his career he began his “Blue Period,” from 1901 to 1904. Depressed and lonely from the death of his close friend, Carlos Casagemas, blues, blacks, and grays dominated his pictures depicting poverty isolation, and anguish. Picasso quickly fell in love with model, Fernande Olivier, and by 1905 he had entered his “Rose Period.” This period was dominated by pinks, beiges, and reds. In 1907, Picasso produced a painting with abstract, distorted, sharp geometric figures. It was the first transition into the movement, Cubism. (“Pablo Diego José…”)...
