...leads to the question can the hand you are dealt in life change you so drastically that you end up in a downward spiral and you can no longer be the person you once were. In the story, The thing without a name the character Popo was a carpenter in which the narrator came in contact with, however Popo never finished a task in which he began. This can be seen in the very beginning: “The only thing that Popo, who called himself a carpenter, ever built was a little galvanized-iron workshop under the mango tree at the back of his yard. And even that he didn’t quite finish.” (15) Popo was a man that struggled with the need to be accepted by his peers, those on Miguel street did not like Popo the considered “a man-woman. Not a proper man.” (17). He was also very insecure and didn’t have confidence in his profession even though he was so proud of his sign, “ Popo liked standing up in front of the sign. But he had a little panic when people who didn’t know about him came to inquire.” (16) Though he wasn’t like by many he was also charismatic, and willingly to speak to anyone who would lend an ear. The narrator described him as someone who loved to talked, “ Popo was always ready to talk” There are three antagonists in the short story The Thing without a Name found in Miguel Street.

...and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things. Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound; But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see. Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful. 2 All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is; they all know the skill of the skilful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what the want of skill is. So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one (the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another. Therefore the sage manages affairs without doing anything, and conveys his instructions without the use of speech. All things spring up, and there is...

...Analyzing ”From one mind into another” The short story is about a man. In the beginning we don’t know his name and neither does he. He is sitting in the passenger’s side of a wrecked car that’s been tipped to the side. The man is bleeding from the head and as been unconscious. He doesn’t remember anything, which may be because of the knockout. The driver has been pulled out of his seat and is nowhere in sight. He gets attacked by what looks like two humans but soon finds out that they are more than that attacks him. After several shots on the body, the “thing” is still able to crawl against him. By a coincidence he shoots one in the head and it falls to the ground – dead as a stone. The man is wearing a camouflage jacket, and in the radio of the car a voice is occasionally heard calling for units to come back. On the vehicle a big weapon is attached and is sprayed into the circular turret that provides an access from the rear of the vehicle to the gun. The man doesn’t now who or where he is but by the facts about the car and his jacket he’s probably a soldier in the middle of a war. Although his memory is lacking he is able to prepare the gun he finds in the car to shoot. In the short story he finds a gun in the car and without even thinking about it – almost by instinct he makes the gun ready for shooting. It is possible that he has forgotten his name and what he did before the accident but everything is not gone, he still have the instinct of a soldier. Not only that he...

...have a lot of things about reputation. They are all known as good citizens, for one reason or another, and they all would like to keep their good name. John Proctor would like to be known as the man who sticks up for the little person and always does the right thing. Judge Danforth wants to be known as a good judge who always makes the right decisions. Abigail and girls want to be known as good girls who are not witches and believe in God. All of these characters choose to keep their reputations rather than do the right thing or saving their lives. The importance of having a good name is a one of the biggest thing in Crucible. John Proctor is the model citizen. He has good morals and tries to do the right things. He protects the innocent people. He has built up a lot of respect for his name. That is why it is hard for Proctor to give up his good name. Everyone sees him as the good guy. For example, Proctor had an affair with Abigail. He can use this evidence in court to show that she is guilty, but he doesn’t want to. He tries to find other ways to prove her guilty without losing his respect. Also, Proctor is able to get away free if he agrees to sign a paper saying he was an ally of the devil. He struggles to lie that he did work with the devil. When he is asked to sign a paper saying this, he can’t.This is the quote from the book that shows us why he didn’t do that: “Because it is my name. Because I cannot have another in my life. Because I lie and sign my name to lies! Because...

...encourages the development of several different themes in the story. Religion, integrity, and respect and reputation are all important themes in the novel. Religion is one of the main reasons that the novel its self is able to play out and develop. The main plot of the story revolves around religion and the actions that the characters take out either for or against the things that they are taught and that they are expected to follow. The community is a group of extremely religious Puritans; in their minds and opinions there is only one thing that is important: God. To the community the only thing that should matter to people is being on God’s good side and being the best Christians they can be. The only things that have an important value are upholding religious beliefs and developing the best relations they can with God and the church. If the people of Salem hadn’t been so religiously uptight then the Salem witch trials probably wouldn’t have even occurred. Also, during the witch trails the only thing that people had as proof of innocence or guilt was religion without religion their points would have been without meaning. Every time someone was accused of performing witch craft someone would always put in question their commitment religion. During the time that Elizabeth Proctor had been accused of witch craft Mr. Hale went to the Proctor home and “put some questions as to the Christian character of this house” (page 64). Both with the Proctors and every other accused person the...

...For Russell, we have knowledge by acquaintance ``with anything of which we are directly aware, without the intermediary of any process of inference or any knowledge of truths.'' (46) * when we perceive a table (touching and seeing it), the things that we perceive (color, shape, hardness, smoothness: its appearance), is what I have acquaintance – “things immediately know to me just as they are.”. This is different frm knowledge of the table as the physical object. * W’out knowledge of truth: which may very well be a belief rather than actual knowledge), since w’out truth: may be wrong. - “things immediately know to me just as they are.”: sounds like some concrete, independent from experience knowledge. someone’s color blind? Russell lists 5 kinds of things we know by acquaintance: sense data, our memories, our own thoughts (by introspection), our (probably) our own self, and universals. [Universals are general ideas which can apply to many different particular things in the world. We have acquaintance with the data of the senses, and in introspection (---thoughts, feelings, desires, etc.; we have acquaintance in memory with things which have been data either of the outer senses or the inner sense. Further, it is probable, though not certain, that we have acquaintance with Self, as that which is aware of things or has desires toward things.

...a business sets up a website without planning, anything could happen while the business is running which could affect other things like revenue and sales. The issues to consider include the domain name, Country availability, Copyright and financial aspects. These are some of the things to be checked because they need to be consistent throughout the business. Start-up costs Before going online, a business needs to decide if they have enough money to set up a website, and keep it running. Sometimes a company has enough financial help at first to set up the business but as they start making sales and delivery, the business starts to have trouble. Costs include; advertising fees, paying a technician and if you’re a commercial business, paying for all the equipment needed to take photos for online images. Commercial websites normally need to rent a van for deliveries so that would also be part of the costs. Government websites need to consider how they are Domain Name Business has a wide range of areas with different names, so choosing a domain name wisely is very important because it must be copyright. They need to think about how the website name should be presented. Should it be short or long? Should it be the same name as its store? Or should it have a complete different name? These are all things to take in hand. It is more relevant that the name connects to the business. For example H&M has their name on their stores but their website name is also http://www.hm.com/gb/...

...Austin West English 101 Mr. Tessaro 11 November 2012 Identiwho? Identity. It defines who we are. But what are we? And what defines identity? Are we measured solely by our given names? Or is there a much deeper, more mystical sense of ourselves imposed by the word? We all have a name bestowed upon us at birth. Some have a first and last name, while others have three or more. Do names give us power? Throughout history many noble families, including bloodlines that ran through monarchies and even that of Indian tribes, had inherited leadership. Whenever the current leader was no longer able to rule, the position was handed down to his oldest living successor. Names were obviously of great importance then. However, there were times in history where only one name was given or deemed necessary. Perhaps names are not a badge of power, but rather a personal identifier to simply set one apart from rest. Occupation is often one of the first things to come up in a conversation. Following name exchanges, people generally want to know what the other person does for a living. Why is that of importance? It must have some bearing on how people are viewed. Oftentimes, lower-waged occupations are looked down upon (BNZ). This is because the person is considered “not good enough” to work as anything better. Where as a janitor might be seen as dirty, lowly, uneducated trash; a doctor would be seen as highly intelligent, healthy, and sophisticated. People would want...

...Standing on the sideline and just stand there and watch something bad happening. To be a specta-tor and take a distance to the wrong thing what is happening. Just standing there as a spectator, without taking any action without doing anything and being just as responsible as the per-son/persons committing the bad thing. In the two short stories: ‘The Lottery’ and ‘The Ones Who Walks Away From Omelas’, we see spectators who doesn’t take any action, and just look away from all the bad thing happening in their town. When you compare the two stories and look and the atmosphere, characters, and the theme you will see the similarities and the difference be-tween the two short stories. Both short stories begin with a harmonious setting and atmosphere. They both begin with descrip-tion of a beautiful summer day. “The flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green” - The Lottery, p. 25 l. 4-5. “Old moss-grown gardens and under avenues of trees,” - The Ones Who Walks Away From Omelas, p.35 l. 5. The setting and the atmosphere is very peacefully in both stories, and you get the impression that the life in the town in both stories are in harmony. But then the atmosphere changes in the lottery it happens when we are introduced to the black box the people from the town are all scared of what is going to happen, and whose name will be drawn from the black box. In the end all the children are excited about stoning the person who was drawn from the black box. In Omelas we...

...is no such thing as an idea. For some people this is possible, but in order to make something real it must exist as an idea or a thought first. There are many arguments to picking a side of either Physicalism or Dualism and many people only have one opinion and then close their mind to other options. Only by understanding both sides can someone make a decision as to whether they are a physicalist or dualist. However, Dualism is the only real truth, for without an idea or thought; there can be no physical object to obtain. Some would say that everything started with a thought. It is clear that truth in reality is often something you can see or touch or taste, but what about feelings? How can someone feel love or have admiration for one’s beauty if none of those emotions can be touched or tasted. As humans we are built to feel and think. Some might say that religion plays a big role in one’s decision, if so then what of Atheism. They are human to; they feel pain and emotion all the same. They also think and idealize the same as someone of religious belief; therefore, religion cannot apply in such arguments because some great philosophers’ had none. As a child we are taught what things are and what to call them. The name of an object started as an idea. If your mother was to teach you that a pen was the only writing utensil other than markers, then a pencil would not exist to you. You might be able to see it and touch it and maybe even taste it, but without the thought...
