He now starts to fulfil his aim. He goes alone, he even doesn’t take his brother- Prince Sanjaya with him. He also doesn’t wait for the people of Shiv-tarai, who loved him to lend him a helping hand. He walks with firm steps through the darkness of the night towards the river Mukta-Dhara and beings to deal hits at its weak spots. He is wounded as the damming machine hit him back. The dam was soon breached and the imprisoned waters begins to flow with such a flow that it becomes difficult for the Yuvaraja to escape from there. As a result he dies in the waters. His wounded body is carried away by the free water. And it was looking like his liberated mother lifted him up and bore him on her bosom.

    Answers and Equivalencies Does God exist if there is no one who believes in him? If we are to govern ourselves, what methods should we use to go about this? These questions are the focus of religious and political philosophical scholars. Humans have been wondering about these questions as long as there has been sedentary life.

    “That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out” (Hosseini 1). The Kite Runner opens in the year 2001 as the narrator, Amir, recalls of a daunting experience that occurred in his childhood of 1975. This predominant event—which is later revealed to be the assault of Amir’s half-brother, Hassan—would change the course of his life forever. In fact, this same memory has also “made [him who] he is today” (Hosseini 2) —a principled father to an adopted son.…

    Many Mandan and Hidatsa people had their interactions with mortality at birth. Infant and maternal mortality were high as disease and post-natal care fluctuated with the seasonal movement during hunts and village relocations. Gilbert Wilson, an anthropologist who interviewed indigenous individuals at the Fort Berthold Reservation recorded, “women often died in childbirth when overtaken in labor while on a deer hut or where assistance was not readily available.” Even when women were home in their earthlodges surrounded by their mothers and experienced midwives, hard labor and complications often claimed women’s lives, as was the case for Chief Four Bear’s wife.…

Baba and Rahim Khan also look for and teach about forgiveness because of the secret they kept from Amir and Hassan. Through Amir, Baba, and Rahim Khan, Khaled Hosseini demonstrates that redemption is completed when good deeds are the result of guilt.…

    Understanding the nature of education brings into question not only what aspects of it characterize it for what it is, but also what it takes to optimize it. It is, in the end, a responsibility of the educator to set the educated on the right path to taking the responsibility upon himself to make the most of his education. In To Teachers, Rabindranath Tagore places a great importance on the learning that enthusiastically takes place in children as they explore their surroundings, noting how structure is detrimental to this state of mind. Hsun Tzu, in Encouraging Learning, on the other hand, shows how education is not marred by structure, but rather thrives in it when the individual takes it upon himself to be educated dutifully. While both…
