Caroline's POV: Saturday Day

Family, Friends, Faith, and Philanthropy are words commonly used to describe Matt Brinson. Born and raised in Millen, Matt is a well-recognized face throughout the rural town due to his high level of community involvement. The Jenkins County Chamber of Commerce has taken notice of his charitable acts, naming him Citizen of the Year in 2014.

Whilst deception played a huge role in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, many are aware that deception compromises the integrity of research study. Malicious violations of human rights have transpired throughout American history titles under the name research. Under those past circumstances, there have been some discoveries that helped propel mankind’s survival and advanced knowledge. These discoveries do not validate the cruelties that unprivileged people like African Americans endured. Overall, it should be mandatory for research studies to be ethical and not undermine the values and dignity of humanity.

On February 19th, it was a rainy day in Leeds, Yorkshire. I had gotten an abrupt call from my crime investigator, Ms. Covax. Last night a report from someone in the neighborhood of 39th street, Leeds called in: Caroline Shaw had suspiciously disappeared. She was last seen with her husband arguing, behind a Bentley car in an alleyway.

…Anne had reason to believe that she had moments only of languor and depression, to hours of occupation and enjoyment. How could it be?—She watched—observed—reflected—and

They see a wide social gap between Tea Cake and Janie. They trust Janie has not grieved sufficiently long for Joe. At last, they are stunned that she has brought up with a more youthful man and is acting like some young lady with him, including not going to church any

Caroline West had been abandoned three days after her birth, by some woman she didn't know, but that would all change today. After months of investigating and digging through hospital documents she had found the woman who was her mother: It had taken forever to sift through all the papers. But that hadn't deterred her -- after all how many pregnant women could leave a hospital without a child and not have it written down somewhere? Three to be precise, well at least on that Halloween night there had only been three. One woman had given birth to a boy, so that excluded her immediately. The second woman had been forced to give birth to her stillborn daughter and she was alive so that

Tuesdays With Morrie, by Mitch Albom is a memoir with meaning that will live much longer than the paper it is printed on. We learn that we must properly allocate our time and efforts into all aspects of life; shining light on what is truly important. Our protagonist, Morrie, shows us the unimportance of materialistic goods and the things we leave underappreciated.

Although her English is still mispronounced and broken, Janie’s thoughts become more abstract. Janie proclaims, "Love is lak de sea. It's uh movin' thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it's different with every shore" (191). Because of her relationship with Tea Cake, Janie is capable of defining what love truly is, which is a complex idea. Although she is saddened to shoot him when he is rabid, Janie frees herself from the limitations of being a woman in society. She is able to focus on herself and find out who she truly is on the inside. Janie further states, “Two things everybody's got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go tuh God, and they got tuf find out about livin' fuh theyselves" (192). Janie’s newfound freedom causes her to realize the importance of focusing on oneself. Her simple, concrete thoughts as a young woman developed into abstract ideas, similar to the

Even before Joe’s death, Janie “was saving up feelings for some man she had never seen. She had an inside and an outside now and suddenly she knew not how to mix them.”(75) Joe’s influences controlled Janie to the point where she lost her independence and hope. She no longer knew how to adapt to the change brought upon her. When she finally settles and begins to gain back that independence, the outward existence of society came back into play. “Uh woman by herself is uh pitiful thing. Dey needs aid and assistance.”(90) Except this time Janie acted upon her own judgment and fell for someone out of the ordinary. Tea Cake was a refreshing change for Janie, despite the society’s disapproval. “Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.”(128) This was what she had always dreamt of. When she was with Tea Cake, she no longer questioned inwardly, she simply rejected society’s opinions and acted upon her own desires.

With Joe finally gone from Janie's life in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” everything changed for her! She is no longer the unmarried dreaming girl she was at 16; she has grown into a strong and proud woman who finally knows what she wants. And at first, that is just be alone. This in itself is a huge time of growth for Jamie. Janie tended to the store and collected rent from tenants in Eatonville, doing mature Joe Starks things. She still needed to fight off suitors now again, hounding her for her money, but she is finally free from the shackles of an abusive marriage. However, there is more to life than survival and for once Jamie understands that. Tea Cake and Janie meet when everyone else was at a ballgame, so they

I get to my seat, letting the tears fall into my lap. Matt quickly jogs to the seat next to me, making sure to not spill either of the two cups of coffee. Even though I rejected the coffee before, he offers me another cup. This time I take it into one of my hands as I wipe my tears with the other, the cup warming up my cold hand. He lifts up my chin with his hand, but then I notice the little streaks of red on the

While discovering her womanhood, Janie was not able to realize her importance on her own. As a result of her mental barriers, Janie, alone, was not able to see her beauty and her impact on others around her. Until she met Tea Cake, Janie lacked the mental resources to feel content with her current situation. When Tea enters Janie’s life, he aides her mental illness by uplifting her spirit and teaching her how to stand up for herself. “Ah betcha you don’t never go tuh de lookin’ glass and enjoy yo’ eyes yo’ self.

Janie’s horizon epitomized her land of the possibility, to bring change and to open her eyes to the world around her. Although her relationships with Logan and Joe obstructed her for half of her life, her time with Tea Cake illuminated her to a world where she could explore and enjoy herself. Moreover, her delight in the thoughts of the pear tree expressed her desire to find pleasure in life and to pursue that in the marriages she had experienced. Although, spending her life with Logan and Joe had impeded her from earning the love she deserved, Tea Cake’s presence blessed her with the bliss that life brings in one’s journey. Consequently, her bee and blossom dream being undermined many times due to dismal relationships and neglected feelings finally brought her to Tea Cake, her true love. He cherished every moment with her and motivated her to carry on her life with the same happiness, joy and affection she once received from him. Janie’s life-long experiences and sufferings have brought her to a place where she can connect her memories, her future ambitions and be herself. Despite her past, she will continue to cherish it as her life has ripened from the spirited yet restricted teenager she once was, into a woman who has fulfilled her own destiny and one who will not

Over the period of a day, Laura Brown gradually succumbs to her overwhelming desire to liberate herself from her mundane life. Her life has taken a very different direction from what she ever thought it would, and she finds herself completing commonplace household

Buddhist theory and practice is based around purification of the mind, which can lead to liberation and enlightenment. One of the foundations of the Buddha’s teachings is the idea of liberation through the Four Noble Truths (also known as the Four Holy Truths). These truths are as follows: the truth of suffering, in which everything involves suffering; the truth of the cause of suffering, suffering has a cause and origin; the truth of the end of suffering, suffering can be overcome or cured; and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering, there is a path to refocus your life (Gowans, 2003). It is said that the Buddha only appreciated these four truths once he had completely achieved enlightenment (Mūller, 1890).
