The Second of Four Noble Truths “ ‘I have sons, I have wealth’: thinking thus the fool is troubled. Indeed, he himself is not his own. How can sons or wealth be his?” The Second of the Four Noble Truths is Samudaya, translated as craving and greed. This is a practice that is completely inescapable of all people.

Mark said no more, for the time being, and simply allowed Lila's consciousness, if were capable, to mull over that fact as he roughly forced his erect meat down her throat. "Suck it, bitch." The

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die,” This quote by Thomas Campbell can be applied to many authors. It is said that an author never truly dies because they leave behind their thoughts and beliefs in every person who reads their books. This is especially true for authors whose work shows significant literary merit.

First, a disclaimer: this essay makes it sound like it is much harder to be me than it is. It is not at all hard to be me, and I feel incredibly lucky to exist in the time and place that I do. In addition to that, this paper only explores a very limited part of me and my intellectual development; important aspects of my personality and artists who played a big part in shaping who I am are left out entirely. With that said, the small part of me that this essay explores has had a profound influence

In addition, the book

The Juggler “I want to believe in faith and risk and a world where you can stand beneath the grey October sky and flash your own colours through the air like a magician” (218 -221, p. 6). These beautiful lines constitute the final conclusion of the short story, “The Juggler”, written by Ursula Hegi and published in 2001. The story deals with themes such as beauty, letting go and being stuck in the past. The short story takes place in Coeur d’ Alene in the first weekend of October. An unnamed

Review of: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It seems sometimes like the market for young adult literature is written down to the readers, almost in a condescending manner. That is why a book like The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is so refreshing in this sea of cookie cutter romances and fantasies. While classified as a young adult novel, it deals with very serious themes. The book’s cover comes printed with this label: “It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has
