Songs of Innocence and of Experience

With that thought I quickly switched on the light and drew my bath. Sitting in the water there was no happiness, no joy at watching the bubbles float by, no songs with my little pony, only silence. Today would be my last day being me, my last day trusting without doubt. Today something so precious was stolen from me; it could never return or be recovered. Later that evening everyone returned from the…

The Fox Film Corporation was formed in 1915 by William Fox, a pioneer of several chain theaters and the producer of many American motion pictures. Making films was a secondary option brought on by the need for financial stability during the Great Depression so before Fox even made the giant leap into films, he used his entrepreneurship skills to acquire and build many theaters. The first couple of theaters were set up in New Jersey before Fox was sent to HollyWood to oversee some projects. It…

of uncertainty, because though it represents something certain—her impending death—it flies around unsure with a “stumbling buzz”. This again illustrates the changing nature of life, and even death. “This World is not Conclusion” is Dickinson’s swan song on the subject of afterlife. She confirms all her previous statements, but in a more resolute and certain way. Yet even in such a bold statement as “The world is not conclusion”, Dickinson acknowledges her own fear of being mistaken. All three…

The passion with which the poet handles the gender issues raised seems more obsessing than that of many female writers. The discourse on the excruciating experience of the female gender in a chauvinistic based culture like ours is animating. So also is the juxtaposition of the sexes in terms of quality contributions to societal building on the one hand and the resilience of the womenfolk, in spite of all…

INTRODUCTION This book initially began as a commentary on my Facebook page, entitled, “Do Animals Go to Heaven?” It was the product of a question asked of me by our church youth. Several within the adult congregation disagreed with me. However I presented scripture as well as sound teachings. When I asked what their scriptural denial to my stance was, the reply I received was, “It’s in there somewhere,” referring to the Bible.

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said.
