The Ignorance and Arrogance of Rabbi Avi Shafran I was not surprised by the vile views expressed by Rabbi Avi Shafran, spokesman for Agudath Israel of America. I was surprised that he decided at this most sensitive time to publically blame Jews for the crime of trying to pray on the Temple Mount. There is no doubt that such an attitude both legitimizes and strengthens Arab violence with a rabbinic stamp of approval! In my eyes, Shafran’s comments border on the criminal and he should be…

When people think of English class, most of the time they think of using proper grammar, writing long essays, and reading a really old book that somehow still applies to society today; however, over the course of this second semester I have discovered that there is more to an English class. This semester, we have written over 50 pages, prepared for a test that determines are educational future, and have read many books including the renowned Hamlet. These activities have changed the way I think…

Some small pieces were from Wangeros grandfather named Jarrell and great Grandpa Ezra. These quilts were hand made, and Wangero loved them especially since they were not stitched by man and its machine. Some of the pieces, like the lavender ones were from old clothes her mother handed down to her. Wangero was furious when Mama said…

Ezra Wakinekona Giving back to Hawai’i I was born and raised in Waimea. I lived here all my life. I’ve gone to the mainland a few times and every time I go, I can’t wait to come back home. There is nowhere like Hawai’i. My plans after graduating from school is to become a lifeguard. I love the ocean and decided that working as a lifeguard will be something I will enjoy doing and be good at. This is how I will support myself now that I am an adult. Lifeguarding is more than just…

lustrator and author, Ezra Jack Keats, promoted a form of representation not common in his era. His book The Snowy Day, published in 1962, accomplishes the representation of a realistic urban setting by depicting an African American child as the protagonist. Yet, Keats accomplishes much more than racial diversity in his illustrations. The Snowy Day was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1963. The Caldecott Medal praises illustrations and The Snowy Day is remembered today as one of the most important…

The rhyme pattern in T.S. Eliot’s poem, “Preludes,” is a sophisticated and modern variation on an old form. The poem, “Preludes,” has an uneven rhyme scheme and concentrates on the dim experience of life in the city. The poem is separated into four parts related to the phases of the day and night, starting with the evening in part I, the morning in part II, the middle of the night and into the morning in part III, and back to evening in part IV. The first stanza is composed of thirteen,…

Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee looked forward to another eventful exciting day at Woodlawn High School. Sadly this was not any ordinary day when the afternoon came around and Hae went missing. This was undoubtedly a horrible tragedy but the evidence will strongly support that Adnan Syed is not guilty. The state's main evidence will strongly depend on the claims of Jay Wilds a criminal and he is known to change his story multiple times. According to Jay's…

The Independent American Party was founded on May 16, in 1998 and was inspired by a speech spoken by Ezra T. Benson. The Independent American Party or IAP for short, believe that the constitution was written by men that god spoke to. They want state governments to have more power than the federal government. Examples may be power over the states natural resources and education. National Parks can only be approved by the state not the president and they can chose what they want to teacher in…

compelling way, (2) inferring from a result found by selection in knowledge/resources, and (3) inferring from a result via imagination (Bonfantini and Proni 134). Abduction can be seen in many of the detective novels read in class, especially by Dr. Ezra Jennings in The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (abduction type #2), and Jack Munting in The Documents in the Case by Dorothy Sayers and Robert Eustace (abduction type #3). I believe abduction was used by Jennings and Munting to revitalize past…
