Leo sends Niska to George for her own safety, though Vera is suspicious. George tells her that Hobb worked with him and Leo's father David in creating the synths and when Pete, still angry with his wife for her dependency on Simon, arrives to tell George that Odi has been sighted, he hides Niska. Mattie meets Leo to discover Anita's original identity but Anita is not forthcoming and Mattie returns home with her. Leo is bitterly disappointed as he needs all the original 'super' synths to come together to achieve advanced consciousness. He is unaware that Hobb's experiments on Fred make this unlikely. Back at the Hawkins' house Laura discovers that Joe had sex with Anita and throws him out.

V - Five
"Sigh", I sighed, reaching up to the cupboard where cans upon can of Chef Boyardee were alphabetically arranged pristinely. They hadn't been touched since Mom left for the third time.
As I poured the can of ready made pasta into the deep fryer, somehow reminiscient of the familiar sizzling sound, I wondered what my life here would have in store for me. A small town of 365 people seemed to bear some metaphor for me. 365 days in a year. It was a metaphor I'd never come to understand. Surely, I'd see evidence of small town America. I knew that there was bound to be some evidence of poverty, some broken homes, that this town would surely not be a portrait of middle class America, all driving newer cars without a care in the world. I mean, the natives, would be poor of course, living in fishing cabins, but that was to be expected. That much I knew.
Amidst my distracted thoughts, I almost put black pepper on Charlie's Chef Boyardee. Charlie may have carried the backwards ignorance of all small town broken fathers but he knew the origin of black pepper. And I shuddered to hear his definition of East Indians. Yet, I also knew, that beneath his façade of stereotypes, Charlie saw himself as all American. As he chomped away voraciously at the steaming pile before him, I could hear him happily mutter, "Mmmm. Borlamo, Shuf Borlamo", and I made my way upstairs to my new "old" room which I expected to suck.
The room had not changed. The floors were still wood but two things caught my attention. The yellow curtains, still stained were my childhood. They were still there. Memories flew back, like a legion of fluttering bats against a full moon. Memories of playing with those curtains, the little tea parties I'd have with them, practicing for the day when one day I could cook for someone, when I'd fingerpaint on them and sometimes tear them down to make little wedding dresses.
Stacked in my closet were untouched copies of "Compendium of Classics: Literature through the Ages", "World Culture", Anne Rice's "Lestat", and a shiny new American Pie DVD., which I used for all my book reports.
But what really captivated me was the way the rocking chair presented itself. It was almost as if it were a theme song for a movie was better written than the book that preceded it. The chair, its back formed of spindled Doric columns presented a menacing shadow, a black ghost with a sutured mouth, muted tales of Alacatraz and those who had longed for death within its walls. Chips of paint, flaked, adhered to the rocking chair, were unable to free themselves to the sweepings of a careless broom, captured in a time whose memory I in turn held caged.. There was a macabre horror to it all, one which I was incapable of describing. I never was a good writer.
Instead, I thought about how much my life sucked.

Barry Dransfield is an English folk singer, fiddler, cellist and guitarist. He has appeared as a session musician on numerous albums by other artists, and has released his own albums as well. Lord of All I Behold (1971) was voted Melody Maker folk album of the year. His 1972 album for Polydor, called simply Barry Dransfield, was voted the rarest folk album in Record Hunter, worth approximately £400. Unlike most fiddlers (but like some Appalachian players) he is comfortable playing in the "off the chest" position, instead of under the chin.
Together with his brother Robin Dransfield, he was a member of a bluegrass/old-time band while still in his teens. He generally avoids electric instruments, but is innovative nevertheless. The instrumental "Blacksmith", on Fiddler's Dream, is a complex set of variations in Romantic Paganini style, with no obvious relation to the song "Blacksmith", but ending with a double-tracked voice of DransfieldЧитать далее в Википедии...

Realism --- as a literary term
A term applied to literary composition that aims at an interpretation of the actualities of any aspect of life, free from subjective prejudice, idealism, or romantic color. As a way of writing, realism has been applied in almost every literature throughout history. As an attitude of the writer toward his materials, it is relative, and no chronological point may be indicated as the beginning of realism. 美国文学
I. Introduction 退出 The reasons for the coming of American realism:
The Civil War which broke out in 1861 taught men that life was not so good, man was not and God was not. The war marked a change, in the quality of American life, a deterioration, in fact, of American moral values. It led people to question the assumptions: natural goodness, the optimistic view of nature and man, benevolent God. In post-bellum America increasing industrialization and mechanization of the country in full swing produced soon extremes of wealth and poverty. Wealth and power were more and more concentrated in the hands of the few "captains of industry" or "robber barons", but life for the millions was fast becoming a veritable struggle for survival. 退出 美国文学
The frontier was about to close and the safety valve was ceasing to operate, a reexamination of life began. Beneath the glittering surface of prospective there lay suffering and unhappiness, Disillusionment and frustration were widely felt. The age of Romanticism and Transcendentalism was by and large over. Meanwhile younger writers appeared on the scene, such as William Dean Howells, Henry James, Mark Twain, and so on, which means the coming of new literary age, American realism. 退出
Major Features Realism is the theory of writing in which familiar aspects of contemporary life and everyday scenes are represented in a straightforward or matter-of-fact manner. It insists on precise description, authentic action and dialogue, moral honesty, and a democratic openness in subject matter and style. 美国文学
Realism presents moral visions.
Open ending is also a good example of the truthful treatment of material. Realism focuses on commonness of the lives of the common people who are customarily ignored by the arts. Realism emphasizes objectivity and offers an objective rather than an idealistic view of human nature and human experience. Realism presents moral visions. 美国文学
2.What is American realism?
As a literary movement realism came in the latter half of the nineteenth century as a reaction against "the lie" of romanticism and sentimentalism. It expressed the concern for the world of experience, of the commonplace, and for the familiar and the low. The American realists advocated "verisimilitude of detail derived from observation," the effort to approach the norm of experience —— a reliance on the representative in plot, setting, and character, and to offer an objective rather than an idealized view of human nature and experience. 退出 美国文学
3. The schools of American Realism:
Frontier Humor Midwestern realism (Howells) Cosmopolitan Novelist Regionalism (local color) Naturalism The Chicago School of poets The rise of black American literature 退出 美国文学
Frontier Humor It is the vital and exuberant literature that was generated by the westward expansion of the United States in the late 18th and the 19th centuries. The spontaneity, sense of fun, exaggeration, fierce individuality, and irreverence for traditional Eastern values in frontier humor reflect the optimistic spirit of pre-Civil War America. Frontier humor appears mainly in tall tales of exaggerated feats of strength, rough practical jokes (especially on sophisticated Easterners and greenhorns), and tales of encounters with panthers, bears, and snakes. These tales are filled with rough, homely wisdom 退出 美国文学
Midwestern Realism It just refers to William Dean Howells's realism because he came from the American midwest and carefully interweaved the life and emotions of ordinary middle-class there in his works. Also because he was the champion of realism, having helped to publish many realistic local color writings by Bret Harte, Mark Twain, George Washington Cable, and others. 退出 美国文学
William Dean Howells (1837 - 1920)
John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 – September 7, 1892) was an American Quaker poet and forceful advocate of the abolition of slavery. Yawp, v. 大声叫嚷,大声喊叫,说反对的话 n. 叫声,喊声,不满意 Longfellow, Holmes, and Lowell The schoolroom poets, Harvard academics. 退出 美国文学 美国文学
About the author: Howells, the second son of eight children, had little formal education. Working as a typesetter and a printer's apprentice, he educated himself through intensive reading and the study of Spanish, French, Latin, and German. His campaign biography for Abraham Lincoln earned him enough money to travel to New England and meet the great literary figures of the day, and the post of U. S. Consul to Venice from 1861 to 1865. As editor and critic Howells was generous in constructive and sympathetic reviews, helping younger and more radical writers to get a hearing by encouraging many others from Henry James to Bret Harte and Frank Norris to Mark Twain. He was, for several decades, the dean of his country's literature and became the first president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1907. He supported socialism and opposed American imperialism. Unabashedly, in an unabashed manner unabashed, a. 不畏惧的,不害躁的 退出 美国文学 美国文学
His literary-aesthetic ideas:
He defines realism as "fidelity to experience and probability of motive", as a quest of the average and the habitual rather than the exceptional or the uniquely high or low. To him realism is not mere photographic pictures of externals but includes a central concern with motives and psychological conflicts. So the main line of development in the novel is not from Dickens and Thackeray but from the psychological analysis of Hawthorne and George Eliot to James. In his eyes truth is the highest beauty, but truth includes the view that morality penetrates all things. 退出 美国文学
4) A free and simple design where event follows event without the fettering control of intrigue, but where all grows naturally out of character and conditions, is the supreme form of fiction. 5) Writers should winnow tradition and write in keeping with current humanitarian ideals. 6) The literary critic should not try to impose arbitrary or subjective evaluations on books but should follow the detached scientist in accurate description, interpretation, and classification. 退出 美国文学
His Works: Although he wrote over a hundred books in various genres, including novels, poems, literary criticism, plays, memoirs, and travel narratives, Howells is best known today for his realistic fiction, including A Modern Instance (1881), on the then-new topic of the social consequences of divorce The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885), his best-known work and one of the first novels to study the American businessman A Hazard of New Fortunes (1890), an exploration of cosmopolitan life in New York City as seen through the eyes of Basil and Isabel March, the protagonists of Their Wedding Journey (1871) and other works. Autopsy, n. 验尸 Emphysema, n. 肺气肿 退出 美国文学 美国文学
His masterpiece: The Rise of Silas Lapham
A fine specimen of American realistic writing. There is nothing heroic, dramatic or extraordinary. Howells is here so devoted to the small, the trivial, and the commonplace. He has always emphasized on ethics. He stresses the need for sympathy and moral integrity, and the need for different social classes to harmoniously adapt to their environment and to one another. Howells did not approve of competitive economic individualism. He was convinced that laissez-faire competition had proved the rapacity of man . 退出 美国文学
Cosmopolitan Novelist
Henry James 's fame rested largely upon his handling of his major fictional theme, the international theme, that is the meeting of America and Europe, American innocence in contact and contrast with cosmopolitan European decadence, and the moral and psychological complications arising therefrom. So he was called the cosmopolitan novelist. 退出 美国文学
Henry James ( ) 退出 美国文学
Brief account of his life:
He was born into a wealthy cultured family of New England. His father was an eminent philosopher and reformer, and his brother, William James, was the famous philosopher and psychologist. Most of his life he settled down in Europe except of some visits to America. In 1915 he became the naturalized British citizen. He was not married but once loved his attractive cousin who died young. A voluminous writer, he was influenced by some English, European and American writers. One American author who exerted a measure of influence on James is Hawthorne whose insight into the human psyche impressed the younger writer deeply. 退出 美国文学
His creative life The first period( ). The works in this period reveal James' fascination with his "international theme". The American Daisy Miller The Portrait of a Lady The second period ( ). During this time he focuses on tales and plays, but most of them prove a failure The last one( ) A few novellas and tales dealing with childhood and adolescence. In the major phase of his career he returned to his old ground. He completed his trilogies (the summit of his art): The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, The Golden Bowl 退出 美国文学
His literary-aesthetic ideas (see his The Art of Fiction)
Art must be related to life. It must be life transformed and changed so that the art form would give the truthful impression of actuality. Though closely related to life, art is important in its own way. It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance. He was concerned with point of view which is at the center of his aesthetic of the novel. 退出 美国文学
His political-social ideas and attitudes:
The spokesman of the wealthy. Be conservative toward overzealous reformers (the similar way of Hawthorne) But he was critical of U.S. imperialist behavior and American's obsession with business, its extremes of wealth and poverty, its lack of culture and sophistication. Like Hawthorne, James regarded evil as essentially of inward cause and cure, advocated free willed renunciation of the low or mean, and repeatedly emphasized magnanimity and the beauty of goodness. 退出 美国文学
IV. Regionalism (local color writing)
The concept: The style of writing derived from the presentation of the features and peculiarities of a particular locality and its inhabitants. Simply it means The use of regional detail in a literary or artistic work. The name is given especially to a kind of American literature that in its most characteristic form made its appearance just after the Civil War and for nearly three decades was the single most popular form of American literature. Following in the footsteps of the pre-war "sectional humorists," local colorists were interested in realistically depicting life in different sections of the United States in order to promote understanding and unification 美国文学
Fiction writers like Sarah Orne Jewett, Bret Harte, O
Fiction writers like Sarah Orne Jewett, Bret Harte, O. Henry, and Mark Twain have been identified within this tradition. By the 1930s, the local color style had spread beyond the bounds of novels and short stories into less formal territory like the "hometown material" section of local newspapers. Local color writing had always been premised on an informal approach and rejection of high-culture concerns. Now it entered mass media. 美国文学
Local Color Term applied to literature which emphasizes its setting, being concerned with the character of a district or of an era, as marked by its customs, dialects, costumes, landscape or other peculiarities that have escaped standardizing cultural influences. The local color movement came into particular prominence in Am after the Civil War, perhaps as an attempt to recapture the glamour of a past era, or to portray the sections of the reunited country. In local 美国文学
color literature, one finds the dual influence of romanticism and realism since the author frequently looks away from ordinary life to distant lands, strange customs, or exotic scenes, but retains through minute detail a sense of fidelity and accuracy of description. 美国文学
Mark Twain ( ) 美国文学
Life Clemens was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, 'Mark Twain' was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym. 美国文学
In 1864 Twain left for California, and worked in San Francisco as a reporter. He visited Hawaii as a correspondent for The Sacramento Union, publishing letters on his trip and giving lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling in France and Italy. His experiences were recorded in 1869 in The Innocents Abroad, which gained him wide popularity, and poked fun at both American and European prejudices and manners. The success as a writer gave Twain enough financial security to marry Olivia Langdon in They moved next year to Hartford. Twain continued to lecture in the United States and England. Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces, Tom Sawyer (1881) and The Prince And The Pauper (1881). Life On The Mississippi appeared in 1883 and Huckleberry Finn in 1884. 美国文学
In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in financial speculations and in the failure of his own publishing firm. To recover from the bankruptcy, he started a world lecture tour, during which one of his daughters died. Twain toured New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa. He wrote such books as The Tragedy Of Pudd'head Wilson (1884), Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc (1885), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and the travel book Following The Equator (1897). During his long writing career, Twain also produced a considerable number of essays. 美国文学
The death of his wife and his second daughter darkened the author's later years, which is seen in his posthumously published autobiography (1924). Twain died on April 21, 1910. 美国文学
Simple and plain diction, precise, direct.
Style Broad, often irreverent humor or biting social satire, realism of place and language, memorable characters, hatred of hypocrisy and oppression. Simple and plain diction, precise, direct. His earlier works are light, humorous, optimistic. His later works become darker and more obscure, showing his discontent and disappointment toward the social reality. His last works shows his acute pessimism, despair, skepticism determinism. 美国文学
Artistic Features First, he possessed utter clarity of style. He evolved a style so clear and economical that other contemporary styles seemed slightly archaic, rusty, and redundant. Second, he had a supreme command of vernacular American English. Before him there had been only American dialect; after him there was an American language. American dialect had been used very well by some other writers, but in their hands it was surrounded and conditioned by a "literary" language that wittingly or unwittingly patronized it. Mark Twain removed the surrounding frame. 美国文学
Third, there was Mark Twain's humor, which resists explanation
Third, there was Mark Twain's humor, which resists explanation. In Twain's time, humor, though it was seen as greatly valuable, remained clearly subordinate in the value system of the 19th century. The function of humor was to entertain, but it was not expected to participate in the high seriousness that Matthew Arnold and his age asked of literature. But Twain liberated humor, raising it to high art—a liberation that parallels his creation of vernacular American English. Instead of subduing his humor to seriousness, twain invaded the citadels of seriousness and freed the humor held captive there. 美国文学

His masterpiece: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Much of the book is concerned with Huck's inner struggle between this sense of guilt in helping Jim to escape and his profound conviction that Jim is a human being. The book is written in the colloquial style, in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans. 美国文学
This novel tells a story along the Mississippi River before the civil war. Here lies an America with its great national faults, full of violence and even cruelty, yet still retaining the virtues of "some simplicity, some innocence, some peace". This novel, through Huck's adventures, presented the change of the white boy Huck's attitude toward the run-away black slave Jim . 美国文学
It shows Mark Twain's satire on southern culture before the Civil War
It shows Mark Twain's satire on southern culture before the Civil War. He exposed the problems of slavery, the mistreatment of humans by humans and then in a deep level condemned racial discrimination. He showed the readers how the poor whites thought they were better than black slaves. The only thing that made them feel good about themselves was that they were white. And Twain made the readers laugh at this idea. 美国文学
The second object of satire is the upper-class southerners
The second object of satire is the upper-class southerners. The shepherdson-Grangerford feud is a good example. The feud has been going on for generations. Its cause has been forgotten. The satire is merciless, not because these people are violent, but because they accept their violence as right. 美国文学
1. Plot Summary Huck lives with Miss Watson who is trying to civilize him. He and Tom Sawyer become friends with her slave Jim. Huck's drunk father returns to try and take Huck back, but Huck fakes his own murder and runs away with Jim to a nearby island. Jim and Huck discover a raft, which they make their new home and set out to sail down the Mississippi River where they will both be free. Jim and Huck travel by night to avoid being caught, and sleep out in the woods during the day time. During the journey, Huck and Jim's friendship grows considerably, and the two become like family. Huck and Jim are separated when their raft hits a steamboat and Huck goes ashore to stay with a family, the Grangerford's. Huck soon becomes involved in their ongoing feud and leaves when several family members are killed. Huck also plays with the concept of morality and debates over the question of whether to turn Jim in or risk being shunned by society if he is caught with a runaway. 美国文学
The Duke and the King soon join Huck and Jim on the raft, and the four scam several cities out of money by performing plays and circuses. They stay at the Wilkes' house where they steal money from a family of girls whose father just died, by pretending to be their uncles. Huck eventually confesses to the girls, and abandons the Duke and the King when they try to sell Jim. 美国文学
Eventually Huck winds up at Aunt Sally's house and pretends to be Tom Sawyer, who they are expecting. He soon learns that she is keeping Jim hostage until his master comes to get him, and tries to think of a way to free his friend. When the real Tom comes to Aunt Sally's, the two form an intricate plan involving ransom notes and digging holes in order to free Jim. When the plan is activated, Huck and Tom are caught by angry townspeople and are forced to confess their identity and reason for disturbing the slave. Huck learns that Miss Watson set Jim free in her will, and he is no longer a slave. Huck plans to escape being civilized once more, and suggests that he will flee to live in Indian territory. 美国文学
2. Major Themes Maturity: Huck is forced to take care of himself because he has no parents. Although he is a young boy, he faces many problems that adults struggle with, and is forced to deal with them maturely. Friendship: Huck never really had any true friend before Jim, but the time spent with him allowed the two to become very close. Legality vs. Morality: Huck faces the question of whether he should obey the law and turn in Jim, or if he should risk a bad reputation and keep his friend happy. Love: Jim loves Huck and he has been a true friend and been through many tough situations. Huck learns to love through his friendship with Jim, who is devoted and willing to do anything for Huck. 美国文学
Racism: The novel is set in the South
Racism: The novel is set in the South. Blacks are slaves with no legal rights and are faced with high degrees of discrimination. Their status is lower than that of a white person, and Huck grows up debating that reality. It is a barrier at first between himself and Jim, which they eventually realize and overcome. Freedom : Literally, Jim seeks freedom from slavery. Figuratively, Huck seeks to be free, and not have to live in fear of his father, or being civilized. Lessons: Huck learns that although society has taught him to regard blacks as inferior, he should listen to his own opinion, even if it means sacrificing his reputation and being labeled. He realized this when he befriended Jim and went out of his way to secure Jim's freedom, by risking his own safety and name. 美国文学
Morals: Huck also learned that although people in his life may have hurt him, he is able to be loved and to love back. He learns this when his friendship with Jim evolves, and they become like family. Huck is able to love Jim back, and is willing to help him escape slave if it will attain happiness. Applications: Huck realizes that Tom's intricate plans for solving problems sometimes are fun, but are not usually the best answers. Huck is a more realistic character and understands that effort and efficiency are better than confusion and complication. He depicts this when Tom's plan to free Jim becomes involved and eventually backfires. Huck's plan at the beginning was more reasonable, but he used Tom's plan instead. 美国文学
Conflict between civilization and "natural life": The primary theme of the novel is the conflict between civilization and "natural life." Huck represents natural life through his freedom of spirit, uncivilized ways, and desire to escape from civilization. He was raised without any rules or discipline and has a strong resistance to anything that might "sivilize" him. This conflict is introduced in the first chapter through the efforts of the Widow Douglas: she tries to force Huck to wear new clothes, give up smoking, and learn the Bible. Throughout the novel, Twain seems to suggest that the uncivilized way of life is more desirable and morally superior. Drawing on the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Twain suggests that civilization corrupts, rather than improves, human beings. 美国文学
Honor: The theme of honor permeates the novel after first being introduced in the second chapter, where Tom Sawyer expresses his belief that there is a great deal of honor associated with thieving. Robbery appears throughout the novel, specifically when Huck and Jim encounter robbers on the shipwrecked boat and are forced to put up with the King and Dauphin, both of whom "rob" everyone they meet. Tom's original robber band is paralleled later in the novel when Tom and Huck become true thieves, but honorable ones, at the end of the novel. They resolve to steal Jim, freeing him from the bonds of slavery, which is an honorable act. Thus, the concept of honor and acting to earn it becomes a central theme in Huck's adventures. 美国文学
Food: Food plays a prominent role in the novel
Food: Food plays a prominent role in the novel. In Huck's childhood, he often fights pigs for food, and eats out of "a barrel of odds and ends." Thus, providing Huck with food becomes a symbol of people caring for and protecting him. For example, in the first chapter, the Widow Douglas feeds Huck, and later on Jim becomes his symbolic caretaker, feeding and watching over him on Jackson's Island. Food is again discussed fairly prominently when Huck lives with the Grangerford's and the Wilks's. 美国文学
Mockery of Religion: A theme Twain focuses on quite heavily on in this novel is the mockery of religion. Throughout his life, Twain was known for his attacks on organized religion. Huck Finn's sarcastic character perfectly situates him to deride religion, representing Twain's personal views. In the first chapter, Huck indicates that hell sounds far more fun than heaven. Later on, in a very prominent scene, the "King", a liar and cheat, convinces a religious community to give him money so he can "convert" his pirate friends. The religious people are easily led astray, which mocks their beliefs and devotion to God. 美国文学
Superstition: Superstition appears throughout the novel
Superstition: Superstition appears throughout the novel. Generally, both Huck and Jim are very rational characters, yet when they encounter anything slightly superstitious, irrationality takes over. The power superstition holds over the two demonstrates that Huck and Jim are child-like despite their apparent maturity. In addition, superstition foreshadows the plot at several key junctions. For instance, when Huck spills salt, Pap returns, and when Huck touches a snakeskin with his bare hands, a rattlesnake bites Jim. 美国文学
Money: The concept of wealth or lack thereof is threaded throughout the novel, and highlights the disparity between the rich and poor. Twain purposely begins the novel by pointing out that Huck has over six thousand dollars to his name; a sum of money that dwarfs all the other sums mentioned, making them seem inconsequential in contrast. Huck demonstrates a relaxed attitude towards wealth, and because he has so much of it, does not view money as a necessity, but rather as a luxury. Huck's views regarding wealth clearly contrast with Jim's. For Jim, who is on a quest to buy his family out of slavery, money is equivalent to freedom. In addition, wealth would allow him to raise his status in society. Thus, Jim is on a constant quest for wealth, whereas Huck remains apathetic. 美国文学
Slavery: The theme of slavery is perhaps the most well known aspect of this novel. Since it's first publication, Twain's perspective on slavery and ideas surrounding racism have been hotly debated. In his personal and public life, Twain was vehemently anti-slavery. Considering this information, it is easy to see that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn provides an allegory to explain how and why slavery is wrong. Twain uses Jim, a main character and a slave, to demonstrate the humanity of slaves. Jim expresses the complicated human emotions and struggles with the path of his life. To prevent being sold and forced to separate from his family, Jim runs away from his owner, Miss Watson, and works towards obtaining freedom so he can buy his family's freedom. All along their journey downriver, Jim cares for and protects of Huck, not as a servant, but as a friend. Thus, Twain's encourages the reader to feel sympathy and empathy for Jim and outrage at the society that has enslaved him and threatened his life. 美国文学
However, although Twain attacks slavery through is portrayal of Jim, he never directly addresses the issue. Huck and Jim never debate slavery, and all the other slaves in the novel are very minor characters. Only in the final section of the novel does Twain develop the central conflict concerning slavery: should Huck free Jim and then be condemned to hell? This decision is life-altering for Huck, as it forces him to reject everything "civilization" has taught him. Huck chooses to free Jim, based on his personal experiences rather than social norms, thus choosing the morality of the "natural life" over that of civilization. 美国文学
Mississippi River: The majority of the plot takes place on the river or its banks. For Huck and Jim, the river represents freedom. On the raft, they are completely independent and determine their own courses of action. Jim looks forward to reaching the free states, and Huck is eager to escape his abusive, drunkard of a father and the "civilization" of Miss Watson. However, the towns along the river bank begin to exert influence upon them, and eventually Huck and Jim meet criminals, shipwrecks, dishonesty, and great danger. Finally, a fog forces them to miss the town of Cairo, at which point there were planning to head up the Ohio River, towards the free states, in a steamboat. 美国文学
Originally, the river is a safe place for the two travelers, but it becomes increasingly dangerous as the realities of their runaway lives set in on Huck and Jim. Once reflective of absolute freedom, the river soon becomes only a short-term escape, and the novel concludes on the safety of dry land, where, ironically, Huck and Jim find their true freedom. 美国文学
3.writing technique This novel shows his two famous writing techniques: local color and colloquial language. The novel is a true recreation of living models. Though a local and particular book, it touches upon the human situation in a general indeed "universal" way: Humanism ultimately triumphs. This book is written in the colloquial style, approximating the actual speech habit of an uneducated boy from the American South of mid-nineteenth century. 美国文学

4. His contributions and achievement :
Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, is a very famous humorist, whose best work is characterized by broad, often irreverent humor or biting social satire. His writing is also known for realism of place and language, memorable characters, and hatred of hypocrisy and oppression. One of his significant contributions to American literature lies in the fact that he made colloquial speech an accepted, respectable literary medium in the literary history of the country. In social criticism he loved life, people, freedom and justice, felt a pride on human dignity and advocated brotherhood of man. He hated tyranny and iniquity, despised meanness and cruelty, and took his role as a social critic in a serious and responsible manner. He was not indifferent either to the Chinese immigrants persecuted in America or to a China suffering intense agonies of humiliation and dismemberment by imperialist powers. 美国文学

VI. Naturalism and Muckraking
The reasons on the coming of American Naturalism: Industrialism produced financial giants, but at the same time created an industrial proletariat entirely at the mercy of external forces beyond their control. Slums appeared in great numbers where conditions became steadily worse. New ideas about man and man's place in the universe began to take root in America. Living in a cold, indifferent, and essentially Godless world, man was no longer free in any sense of the word. Darwinian concepts like "the survival of the fittest" and "the human beast" became popular catchwords and standards of moral reference in an amoral world. French naturalism, with its new technique and new way of writing, appealed to the imagination of the younger generation. 美国文学
2. The main characteristics of naturalism:
The writers of naturalism tore the mask of gentility to pieces and wrote about the helplessness of man, his insignificance in a cold world, and his lack of dignity in face of the crushing forces of environment and heredity. In their works there is a desire to assert one's human identity, to define oneself against the social and natural forces one confronts They reported truthfully and objectively, with a passion for scientific accuracy and an overwhelming accumulation of factual detail. The major representatives of American naturalists include Jack London, Stephen Crane, Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser and so on. 美国文学
3. Muckraking: In dictionary:
Finding and publishing stories, perhaps using underhand methods, that expose misconduct, corruption, hypocrisy, or the like. Publishing (perhaps invented) stories that give salacious details of peoples' private lives. In literature: Muckraking is applied to American journalists, novelists, and critics who in the first decade of the 20th century attempted to expose the abuses of business and the corruption in politics. 美国文学
Muckraking novels used eye-catching journalistic techniques to depict harsh working conditions and oppressions. Norris's Octopus (1901) exposed big railroad companies while Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (1906) painted the squalor of the Chicago meat-packing houses, and Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, emphasizes the quiet poverty, loneliness, and despair in small-town America. The muckraking movement lost support in about Historians agree that if it had not been for the revelations of the muckrakers the Progressive movement would not have received the popular support needed for effective reform. 美国文学
Jack London (1876 – 1916) 美国文学
About the author: It is believed that London is an illegitimate child, who passed his childhood in poverty in the Oakland slums. He had little formal schooling, but was an avid reader, educating himself at public libraries. At the age of 17, he ventured to sea on a sealing ship and from then on to voyages on ship became one of his favorites and material for his later writing. In his teens, he joined Coxey's Army in its famous march on Washington, D.C., and was later arrested for vagrancy. The turning point of his life was a thirty-day imprisonment that was so degrading it made him decide to turn to education and pursue a career in writing. His years in the Klondike a Gold Prospector (from ) had to be ended because of his poor health, which would provide abundant material for his future novels and stories . 美国文学
Upon his return to Oakland, California, he could not find steady work
Upon his return to Oakland, California, he could not find steady work. In desperation, he decided to dive into writing, launching his writing career. Jack married two times in his life. The first wife is his math tutor and the second one his secretary. From 1905 to 1913, London set up his own "Beauty Ranch" totaling 1,400 acres bought. At Beauty Ranch, he raised many animals such as prize bulls, horses, and pigs and cultivated a wide variety of crops, fully enjoying the life of a rancher. By his death at age forty on November 22, 1916, Jack had been plagued for years by a vast number of health problems, including stomach disturbances, ravaging uremia, and failing kidneys. 美国文学
His masterpiece: Many people argue as to what London's masterpiece was. Some say The Call of the Wild, others say The Sea Wolf, and still others say Martin Eden. The Call of the Wild is thrilling adventure story set in the Yukon frontier, telling the gripping tale of a dog named Buck who is wrenched out of his life of ease and luxury to become a sled dog in Alaska. Drawing on his wolf heritage, Buck must fight for survival in an alien environment, experiencing both the cruelty of man and the freedom of the wild。 美国文学
The Sea-Wolf was based on his experiences at sea
The Sea-Wolf was based on his experiences at sea. When fate lands Humphrey Van Weyden on board the Ghost, a sealing schooner bound for Japan, little does he know of the weeks of brutality which lie ahead. Captain Wolf Larsen is feared and despised by all on board, and only the chance arrival of Maud Brewster spurs Van Weyden into action in a desperate attempt to free them both from the terrifying power of the Sea-Wolf. This work embraced the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism in its exploration of the laws of nature. London portrays a version of the Nietzschean superman in schooner captain Wolf Larsen, one of the most memorable characters in American literature. 美国文学
Martin Eden. One of London's most important books is this semi-autobiographical account of a young sailor who struggles to improve himself and achieves eventual success as a writer, but grows disenchanted with fame and wealth. It represents both an indictment of the American dream and an important reflection on London's own background and career. 美国文学
Evaluation on him: Jack London, whose life symbolized the power of will, was the most successful writer in America in the early 20th Century. His vigorous stories of men and animals against the environment, and survival against hardships were drawn mainly from his own experience. In fact, he was a prolific writer whose fiction explored three geographies and their cultures: the Yukon, California, and the South Pacific. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world. He experimented with many literary forms, from conventional love stories and dystopias to science fantasy. His noted journalism included war correspondence, boxing stories, and the life of Molokai lepers. 美国文学
A committed socialist, he insisted against editorial pressures to write political essays and insert social criticism in his fiction. He was among the most influential figures of his day, who understood how to create a public persona and use the media to market his self-created image of poor-boy-turned-success. London's great passion was agriculture, and he was well on the way of creating a new model for ranching through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40. 美国文学
Love of Life Love of Life is one of the most famous Northern short stories by Jack London. The author's skill, his peculiar literary talent and the emotional impact the story produces account for its appeal. London relied on visual imagery to draw a clearer picture of events as well as to intensify the illusion of authenticity. The story is the life experience of a courageous, energetic and strong-willed man, who loves to compete with danger until the end of his life. 美国文学

Stephen Crane(1871 – 1900) 美国文学
About the author: Stephen Crane was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1881, as the 14th child of a cultural family. Both of his parents did some writing and two of his brothers became newspapermen. Crane started to write stories at the age of eight; at 16 he was writing articles for the New York Tribune. Crane studied at Lafayette College and Syracuse University. After his mother's death in his father had died earlier-Crane moved to New York. He worked as a free-lance writer and journalist for the Bachellor-Johnson newspaper syndicate. While supporting himself by his writings, he lived among the poor in the Bowery slums to research his first novel, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893) In 1895 the publication of The Red Badge of Courage and of his first book of poems, The Black Riders, brought him international fame. 美国文学
His reputation as a war writer, his desire to see if he had guessed right about the psychology of combat, and his fascination with death and danger sent him to Greece and then to Cuba as a war correspondent. His first attempt in 1897 to report on the insurrection in Cuba ended in near disaster; the ship sank, and Crane--reported drowned--finally rowed into shore in a dinghy with the captain. The result was one of the world's great short stories, The Open Boat. His others are The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, and The Blue Hotel. In 1898 Crane settled in Sussex, England. On June 5, 1900 in Germany he died of tuberculosis, which was worsened by malarial fever he had caught in Cuba. 美国文学
Maggie: A Girl of the Streets
His Major Works: Maggie: A Girl of the Streets About the story: It is the harrowing story of a poor sensitive young girl whose uneducated alcoholic parents utterly fail her. In love and eager to escape her violent home life, she allows herself to be seduced into living with a young man, who soon deserts her. When her self-righteous mother rejects her, Maggie becomes a prostitute to survive, but soon commits suicide out of despair. 美国文学
About the story: The Red Badge of Courage.
The story is set during the American Civil War. Henry Fleming enrolls as a soldier in the Union army. He has dreamed of battles and glory all his life, but his expectations are shattered in his encounter with the enemy when he witnesses the chaos on the battle field and starts to fear that the regiment was leaving him behind. He flees from the battle. Later he returns to the lines and feels sore and stiff from his experiences. In the heat of the battle, he picks up the regiment's flag with his friend when it falls from the color sergeant's hands. Following the conventions of a bildungsroman, Henry has matured after the final battle and he understands better his strengths and weaknesses. 美国文学
Relevant Evaluation: It depicted the American Civil War from the point of view of an ordinary soldier and has been called the first modern war novel. It reveals the basic theme of the animal man in a cold, manipulating world. Here Crane is looking into man's primitive emotions and trying to tell the elemental truth about human life. War shown in the novel is a plain slaughter-house. There is nothing like valor or heroism on the battlefield, and if there anything, it is fear of death, cowardice, the natural instinct of man to run from danger. By thus un-romanticizing war and heroism, Crane initiated the modern tradition of telling the truth at all costs about the elemental human situation, and writing about war as a real human experience. So this was an event of a revolutionary nature both in theme and technique. 美国文学
His basic motif is about environment and heredity overwhelming man.
Evaluation on him: Crane was a pioneer writing in the naturalistic tradition. His writings gave the whole esthetic movement of the nineties a sudden direction and a fresh impulse. Crane was also a pioneer in the field of modern poetry. His early poems, brief, quotable, with their unrhymed, unorthodox conciseness and impressionistic imagery, was to exert a significant influence on modern poetry: As a matter of a fact, he is now recognized as one of the two precursors of Imagist poetry, the other being Emily Dickinson. His basic motif is about environment and heredity overwhelming man. 美国文学
Crane's fictional world is a naturalistic one in which man is deprived of free will and expects no help from any quarter whatever. The secret of Crane's success as war correspondent, journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and poet lay in his achieving tensions between irony and pity, illusion and reality, or the double mood of hope contradicted by despair. He was a great stylist and a master of the contradictory effect. 美国文学
Benjamin Franklin Norris (1870 - 1902)
About the author: Benjamin Franklin Norris, 1870–1902, American novelist, b. Chicago. After studying in Paris, at the Univ. of California (1890–94), and Harvard, he wrote McTeague (1899), a proletarian novel influenced by the experimental naturalism of Zola. His most impressive work was his proposed trilogy, "The Epic of Wheat," of which only two parts were written—The Octopus (1901), depicting the brutal struggle between the wheat farmers and the railroad, and The Pit (1903), dealing with speculation on the Chicago grain market, and The third part, The Wolf, was never written. Norris spent several years as a war correspondent in South Africa (1895–96) and Cuba (1898). 美国文学
His masterpiece: The Octopus
It illustrates how social and economic conditions ruined the lives of innocent, powerless people. The railroad reached out its millions of tentacles , coiling round the throats of the farmers who had no alternative but to choose between leaving their crops to rot and carting them out through the railroad at a capriciously exorbitant freight rate, in either case ending up in bankruptcy and destruction; and what is worse, the railroad raises the price of the land, which it has rented for the people so that all the farmers and the poor in general face stark destitution and ruin. 退出 美国文学

Theodore Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1871
Theodore Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Indiana in The ninth child of German immigrants, he experienced considerable poverty while a child and at the age of fifteen was forced to leave home in search of work. 美国文学
After briefly attending Indiana University, he found work as a reporter on the Chicago Globe. Later he worked for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the St. Louis Republic and Pittsburgh Dispatch, before moving to New York where he attempted to establish himself as a novelist. He was a voracious reader, and the impact of such writers as Hawthorne, Poe, Balzac, Herbert Spencer, and Freud influenced his thought and his reaction against organized religion. 美国文学
Dreiser worked for the New York World before Frank Norris, who was working for Doubleday, helped Dreiser's first novel, Sister Carrie (1900), to be published. However, the owners disapproved of the novel's subject matter (the moral corruption of the heroine, Carrie Meeber) and it was not promoted and therefore sold badly. 美国文学
The young author felt so depressed by "a decade's delay"—in the words of Larzer Ziff—in social recognition that he was said to have walked by the East River at the turn of the century, seriously committing suicide. 美国文学

About Sister Carrie Sister Carrie, published in 1900, stands at the gateway of the new century. Theodore Dreiser based his first novel on the life of his sister Emma. In 1883 she ran away to Toronto, Canada with a married man who had stolen money from his employer. The story as told by Dreiser, about Carrie Meeber who becomes the mistress of a traveling salesman, is unapologetically told and created a scandal with its moral transgressions. 美国文学
The book was initially rejected by many publishers on the grounds that is was "immoral". Indeed, Harper Brothers, the first publisher to see the book, rejected it by saying it was not, "sufficiently delicate to depict without offense to the reader the continued illicit relations of the heroine". Finally Doubleday and Company published the book in order to fulfill their contract, but Frank Doubleday refused to promote the book. As a result, it sold less than seven hundred copies and Dreiser received a reputation as a naturalist-barbarian. 美国文学
Sister Carrie sold poorly but was redeemed by writers like Frank Norris and William Dean Howells who saw the novel as a breakthrough in American realism. However, the publication battles over Sister Carrie caused Dreiser to become depressed, so much so that his brother sent him to a sanitarium for a short while. 美国文学
Sister Carrie, published in 1900, is one of the best-known story of American Dream, tracing the material rise of Carrie Meeber and the tragic decline of G. W. Hurstwood. 美国文学
Carrie Meeber, penniless and full of the illusion of ignorance and youth, leaves her rural home to seek work in Chicago. On the train, she becomes acquainted with Charles Drouet, a salesman. In Chicago, she lives with her sister, and work for a time in a shoe factory. 美国文学
Meager income and terrible working condition oppress her imaginative spirit. After a period of unemployment and loneliness, she accepts Drouet and becomes his mistress. During his absence, she falls in love with Drouet's friend Hurstwood, a middle aged, married, comparatively intelligent culture saloon manager. They finally elope. They live together for three years more. 美国文学 Chicago New York
Carrie becomes mature in intellect and emotion, while Hurstwood steadily declines. At last, she thinks him too great a burden and leaves him. Hurstwood sinks lower and lower. After becoming a beggar, he commits suicide, while Carrie becomes a star of musical comedy. In spite of her success, she is lonely and dissatisfied. 美国文学
The theme in Sister Carrie, a novel written by Theodore Dreiser, is materialism. The theme is primarily personified through Carrie with her desire for a fine home, clothes and everything else money can buy. 美国文学
Materialism, including the desire for money, is an important theme in Sister Carrie. The materialism is shown mostly through Carrie's character but also through Hurstwood, a man with a respectable life and money, who still wants more and for that reason commits a crime. The city in itself is also a place of materialism, it is a place that offers all kinds of amusements, pleasures and things to buy, but to participate in what the city has to offer one has to have money. 美国文学
Evaluation He faced every form of attack that a serious artist could encounter misunderstanding, misrepresentation, artistic isolation and commercial seduction. But he survived to lead the rebellion of the 1900s. 美国文学
Dreiser has been a controversial figure in American literary history.
His works are powerful in their portrayal of the changing American life, but his style is considered crude. It is in Dreiser's works that American naturalism is said to have come of age. 美国文学
Dreiser's novels are formless at times and awkwardly written, and his characterization is found deficient and his prose pedestrian and dull, yet his very energy proves to be more than a compensation. Dreiser's stories are always solid and intensely interesting with their simple but highly moving characters. Dreiser is good at employing the journalistic method of reiteration to burn a central impression into the reader's mind. 美国文学
For a commemorative service in 1947, H. L
For a commemorative service in 1947, H. L. Mencken wrote a eulogy in which he stuck by the argument that he had been making for over thirty-five years: despite Dreiser's flaws as a stylist, "the fact remains that he is a great artist, and that no other American of his generation left so wide and handsome a mark upon the national letters. American writing, before and after his time, differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin. He was a man of large originality, of profound feeling, and of unshakable courage. All of us who write are better off because he lived, worked, and hoped." 美国文学
Here lies the power and permanence that have made Dreiser one of America's foremost novelists.

Much has been made about Las Vegas 2015 small forward Ray Smith's torn ACL, but those concerns appear unfounded as the five star commit's surgery went even better than expected.
"The surgery went really well," said Ray Smith's father, Bobby. "It was just an ACL. He didn't tear the meniscus or the PCL, so that was great news to hear."
The surgery over, recovery is going as well as possible.
"He's already doing flexibility exercises and bearing some weight," Bobby said. "At this point the doctor is very happy with his progress and doesn't believe it will be that long of a recovery before he is back out on the court."
If all goes according to plan, Smith will be back out on the court sometime this season.
"He's all in on getting back out on the court for his senior season if possible," Bobby said. "He set a goal a long time ago to be a McDonald's All American and he would need to play his senior season to make that wish a possibility.
"He won't force anything though. We won't jeopardize anything. If the doctor gives him the go ahead we're inclined to put him back out there."
The Arizona coaching staff has been in the Smith's corner throughout.
"The coaches have been first class all the way," Bobby said. "They've contacted us as much as possible and let us know they support us the entire time.
"They are ecstatic that Ray is going to be a Wildcat. The injury didn't dampen anything and they can't wait until he steps foot on campus."


text: So DW and I just bought our first ownership in DVC at BWV, and we couldn't be anymore excited. DW has been going to WDW since she was little girl, and my first time was about 16 years ago on our Sr. class trip in HS. We are huge Disney fans, and DVC was the logical choice for us. We bought direct, resale just seemed like too many hoops to jump through for our first time. We've already scheduled 3 trips this year alone, and buying BWV pretty much guarantees we'll be going to F&W for the foreseeable future each year. We've got 160 now, but I do plan to purchase a resale for another 160 in the future.

Sushi Nanase
522 Mamaroneck Ave. White Plains, NY 914-285-5351
$$$$ (Very expensive)Description:
Widely considered the premier sushi restaurant in Westchester County, if not the entire Hudson Valley, this is a sleek and sexy one-man show in the person of Yoshimichi Takeda, who has wielded the sword in Manhattan at illustrious places like Nobu and Masa. The unpretentious spot has three cubicles that can seat 12 as well and room for six at the sushi bar. The seafood, much of which is hustled in from Japan, is unassailably fresh. The chef's handiwork is exhilarating and some of the flavor combination ethereal. Some patrons complain about inhospitable treatment, especially when you are late. By all means, don't arrive without a reservation or you will be regarded as invisible, or worse. -Bryan MillerHours:

Definition of tribulation
: distress or suffering resulting from oppression or persecution; also : a trying experience the trials and tribulations of starting a new business
tribulation was our Word of the Day on 02/13/2016. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Examples of tribulation in a Sentence
Her son's illness has been a source of great tribulation.
The play is about the tribulations of a family of immigrants in New York.
Did You Know?
The writer and Christian scholar Thomas More, in his 1534 work A dialoge of comforte against tribulation, defined the title word as "euery such thing as troubleth and greueth [grieveth] a man either in bodye or mynde." These days, however, the word tribulation is typically used as a plural noun, paired with its alliterative partner trial, and relates less to oppression and more to any kind of uphill struggle. Tribulation derives via Middle English and Old French from the Latin verb tribulare ("to oppress or afflict"), which is related to tribulum, a noun meaning "threshing board."
Origin and Etymology of tribulation
Middle English tribulacion, from Anglo-French, from Latin tribulation-, tribulatio, from tribulare to press, oppress, from tribulum drag used in threshing, from terere to rub — more at 1throw
First Known Use: 13th century
TRIBULATION Defined for English Language Learners

Reviews For Hold Hair Spritz
Based on 13 Reviews
Holds better than the other stuff!
A small amount works better than the evil smelling product I was using before. Price is reasonable too!
- Jackie
Hair spray
Knowing that I am using good quality healthy spray makes me happy.
I just have a little issue with it not holding for a longer time. But I would buy it again.
- Nadja
Holds well, but...
I have fine hair. This spray holds well and doesn't weigh down...but the first ingredient is alcohol which is very drying to fine hair. Just be aware!
- MarthaJane
Great hold
No fragrance
- Rhonda
Does not have a strong fragrance! Yeah!
Finding a hair spray which won't bring on an asthma attack is difficult but this one meets that standard and even holds well. I'm happy to have found it!
- Willie
Great Spritz
I really like this hair spritz/spray. Being Vegan, it's important to me to buy products that are vegan and that also work well. This does the trick.
- Cheryl Mayo
Good Hold
This hairspray is earth friendly, and people friendly. It does have a good hold, but I sometimes feel like it weighs my hair down. If you spray too much on your hair gets kind of sticky.
- Tammy Clontz
Wife's Favorite
This is the only hairspray my wife uses. If I come home with anything else she gets mad at me and makes me take it back to the store. I don't really do much with my own hair, but when I need to spruce up for the holidays or whatnot I also use it!
- Ralph Green
I have baby fine, adult hair and it is hard to find products that work yet don't weigh my hair down. This product holds it in place yet isn't heavy. I was actually surprised that it holds as well as it does. If you have thick or heavy hair that takes a lot of product to hold then this probably won't last you very long since it is a smallish bottle. It will last me awhile, though, and is a great purse size. I also like that the scent isn't strong. I can use it in public, if needed, without choking or disturbing others! As of now, I will purchase again.
Works well
I like this hair spritz. It goes on lightly, and it doesn't have a strong scent. It holds my hair in place all day, even if sometimes it does feel slightly stiff. I can always comb through at evening time without any tangles or problems. This works well for light styling when I'm going to work.
- Kristen Bradley
Great Ingredient List
It's hard to find a hair spray that ends up passing my strict ingredient test, but this one managed it. Skin Deep Cosmetic Database ranks this pretty "clean" compared to a lot of hair sprays. It has a light smell that doesn't smell too much like chemicals, and it holds up hair about where I put it. It takes more product to make it work the same way as other sprays do in less product, but I'll happily use more if it means I don't have to use the crappy ingredients of others. This is a good one.
- Becca Bea
Wish it was a bigger bottle
I really wish this spray was in a bigger bottle. I say this partially because of the price, but I also say it because it works so well. It sprays differently than most hair sprays do anymore, more like the bottles of hair spray my mom used to buy when I was a little girl.
I really like this style bottle, though, because I feel like I have more control over where my hair spritz is going. It holds well, but I don't always need hairspray all over my hair, so those aerosol bottles are not always the best option. With this I can concentrate on the areas that really need the hold and because it is a natural hair spritz, I can feel a lot more confident that I am not causing long term damage to my hair.
- Stella Marie
Definitely try it out
This hair spray is really different from the other store products and offers what it promises on its packaging. Being an organic and non-toxic spray that is safe to use on hair and does not leave any lasting damage; I just wish that the bottle was a little big as compared to the price they charge. Apart from this, I think it is a great product and people who have problems using the chemical based products should definitely try it out.

Size Choice
The 25cc in question will not make the difference between a C or D cup. This is a very small amount and the difference will be barely noticeable. I recommend that you choose the implant your Surgeon recommends as the best fit and the one you are most comfortable with.
All the best

Your breasts
Implant size
The implant sizes you are choosing have very little difference between them. If you felt fine with the 350cc implant, then you may wish to choose it, once the implants are placed and swelling goes down, the appearance is generally slightly smaller than when you tried them in a bra. Second consideration is to go for the look and not the cup size. Bras come in all shapes and sizes, you can be a C cup in one and a D cup in another style. No one can guarantee a cup size for you.

Need help deciding before breast augmentation surgery!
- Thank you for the question.
- Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.
- Given your concerns/questions, I would suggest that you spend additional time with your plastic surgeon, preferably prior to the day of surgery discussing these concerns/questions. Make sure that you are both the same page when it comes to goals and expectations.
- Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
- 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
- 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
- In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as "very natural" or "C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
- Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
- 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
- I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

There was chatter that Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson had thought about coming out early for the NFL, instead his last year was invaluable.
"The bottom line is I wanted to walk into the NFL in a position where I was as mature as I can possibly be," Wilson said "I think that year gave me that opportunity, that I wouldn't have necessarily had if I came out early." He continued, "There were a lot of things that I didn't understand about the process jumping into it with cold feet."
What else did Wilson have to say from the NFL Scouting Combine? The video is below.

Better as a Memory
|"Better as a Memory"
|Single by Kenny Chesney
|from the album Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates
|March 31, 2008
|CD single
|Scooter Carusoe
Lady Goodman
|Buddy Cannon
Kenny Chesney
|Kenny Chesney singles chronology
"Better as a Memory" is a song written by Scooter Carusoe and Lady Goodman and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released in March 2008 as the fourth and final single from his 2007 album Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates. With a two-week stay, it became the fourteenth number-one hit of Chesney's career on the chart dated June 28, 2008.
The song is a mid-tempo ballad in which the narrator addresses a lover with whom he is splitting with, but most likely warning her he is not the kind to get deeply involved with. He then lists a series of similes regarding himself (such as "built to fade like your favorite song", and "always sure until I doubt"), ultimately telling her that he is "better as a memory / than as [her] man".[1]
The co-writers of the song are both pseudonymous: Scooter Carusoe is a pseudonym for Travis Hill, founder of Carnival Music, and Lady Goodman is a pseudonym of Holly Gleason, Chesney's publicist and a music critic.[2][3]
Noted Nashville critic Robert K Oermann wrote <Music Row Magazine>, "...it could be the performance of his life, perhaps his career."
Leeann Ward, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a B- rating. He said the lyrics seem to be somewhat "self-indulgent" but then said that "the production is nice and Kenny's vocals are spot on." [4]
Notable Performances[edit]
The song was performed with a string quartet on the 2009 Grammy Awards, where Chesney was introduced by Morgan Freeman. Later, it became the final performance in his Sony/Hot Ticket theatrical film "Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D."
Popular Culture[edit]
The tune was voted one of NSAI's "Ten Songs I Wish I'd Written" in November 2008.
