Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright it’s not the End!” – John Lennon

In story of the Richman and Lazarus, when Lazarus died he went to Paradise. Paradise is so surreal to me. When I was a little boy I thought my whole life was to live in Paradise, to me it was a wonderful feeling. I use to pick daisies and little flowers and bring them home to my mother when I was five years old, because she was so wonderful to me, she was paradise. Lots of hugs, kisses, treats and gifts she would give me I was in paradise. We were poor but I didn’t know it, I was only about 4 yrs. old; what I did know was my mother was beautiful my brother was wonderful, my dad was good, my sister came a little later in my life, but I was so happy. …show more content…

She would buy these Big Jars of pickles and I LOVED PICKLES…still do! With my eyes twinkling and bright, my mom said I was about 5 or 6 yrs. old I dashed into the kitchen to get her a pickle. As time went by my mom and Big Mama was wondering what was taking me so long in getting her a pickle. Finally, after waiting I came out of the kitchen with a pickle in my hand and gave it to her. Apparently I had a long sleeve shirt on and when I handed Big Mama the pickle my sleeve was soaked in pickle juice from top to bottom. My mom and Big Mama was wondering what happened in the kitchen, so they went into the kitchen and saw what I did. They realized I had placed all the pickles from the jar on the table to find the smallest pickle in the jar to give to Big Mama. They looked at each other, began to laugh and said this little boy is a mess! Life at this time was paradise for …show more content…

Bat Masterson had a cane and a derby hat and so did I that Christmas and I was in Paradise! I loved my westerns! The following Christmas I wanted to be Paladin; another western show that was called “Have Gun Will Travel.” This time I had the business card, the gun, the holster he wore with the Chess piece on the handle and the black hat, and I had a little wooden horse. You know the broom stick converted to a horse head (plastic) and my gun belt and cap gun, I was ready for action!

I use to have a little red wagon connected to my bicycle, which I used to collect pop bottles and take them to the store and redeem them for 2 cents each. I rode my bicycle and my mom use to tell me people would come to her to tell her I would be singing this song by Ray Charles, that goes like this: “I got a women way across town, she’s good to me, oh yes she is. She gives me money when I’m down, she’s a friend yes indeed, so on and on, etc.” My mom would laugh and the other ladies would laugh at this little 3 or 4 yrs. old kid on this little tricycle just riding and singing this song…Amazing! I mean all this and more was so wonderful. Also on Easter or special occasion I had this sharp red blazer jacket. Man I loved

On Thursday, February 23rd at 7 pm I attended the Department of Music Winter Concert that took place in Ogden. I got to experience a variety of selections that were played by both the Concert Band and the Symphonic Winds. I learned how instruments that differ from each other are able to connect in a way to make beautiful music. This musical event connection with humanities would have to do with creation, experience, and skill. All of those factors is something that was needed whether it was with certain civilizations creating architecture, religion, or writing.

The purpose of “Why, You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes is to accurately display, through the times of that century and human emotion, that despite money, power, and the color of your skin there can still be an unhappiness of the soul. There is evidence in the beginning of the short story of two men’s unhappiness in life the symbol of them being uncontent was their hunger. “Man, ain’t you hongry.... Well, sir, I’m tellin’ you, I was so tired and hongry and cold that night.” (253- 254).

Monday through Friday I stayed with my grandmother and great aunt, so that I could go to school. I was in elementary school at the time. I use to listen to my uncle play different types of music on his stereo so that he could mimic the sound with the instruments he was playing. I used to sing along with him dreaming that one day I would be able to sing just like the singers on the albums my uncle would play to.

What is That 70’s Show? Erik Adams explains it to be, “... a sitcom set in malaise years whose true purpose was never lampooning disco cheese or outdated technology—though it did that, too. That ’ '70s Show is about the smaller stuff, the truly memorable moments of adolescence unseen in the history books” (Adams). What Adams means by this is that this show, while set in a very distinct time period, put a larger emphasis on what the adolescent characters were going through and how they lived in the '70s instead of focusing on the wars, changes in presidency, and overall strife that are the main ideas historical textbooks let us see.

In “The Subjectivity of Values,” J.L Mackie argues for Error Theory. Error Theory is a version of moral skepticism. This version of moral skepticism denies the existence of right and wrong as “intrinsically normative entities on fundamental grounds as unsure about what kinds of things such entities would be, if they existed” (Mackie 1977). His ‘Central Argument’ article affirms two things: Objective values provide reason to motivate anyone aware, and the awareness of some objective reason would provide reason in such a way that everyone would be motivated (to some extent) to act in accordance with the value.

Take me back, take me way, way, way back, on Cranbrook Court Where in the summer you could see children run and play in the streets And hear their joyful laughter fill the air, combined with the thunderous roar of an airplane overhead And the splashing of the water from the families in the pool Where you could see families playing at the park, sons playing baseball with their father, or a smiling stranger walking their dog And the boys moving branches to try and hide their secret fort from public view Where every Wednesday the ice cream man would come, blaring his hypnotic tune that made kids beggars and parents cringe And kids would run down the streets in flocks, trying to be the first to reach the magic ice cream man Where the neighborhood
