  • Fairy Tales For Caregivers: What's The Lesson?
    By: Pamela Dombrowski-Wilson | - Fairy tales weave in and out of our lives as children and unless we grow up, marry and have children ourselves, fairy tales become part of our forgotten past. Did you ever consider that historical fairy tales, fables and poems reflect virtues and lessons valuable today in navigating care for ourselves and our loved ones?

    The following are selected stories from The Book of Virtues, a Treasury of Great Moral Stories to which I have added a practical twist that relates to caregivin ...

  • Sylvia Plath - Poet, Novelist, American Icon
    By: marciano guerrero | - Discussing with my wife the quality education that women get in women's colleges, Mary Patricia pointed out to Wellesley producing Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Smith College Sylvia Plath. Of Mrs. Clinton we know a lot, but of Sylvia Plath we know less.

    Sylvia Plath attended Smith from 1950-1955, and graduated summa cum laude, wining a Fulbright Scholarship to Cambridge. There she met poet Ted Hughes, whom she later married.

  • The Most Ancient Books In Britain
    By: Phil Byrne | - In an age where we are now debating the advent of 'book vending machines' it seems hard to imagine a time when printing did not even exist.

    The world's oldest known printed book was a seven page Chinese scroll, laboriously printed in 808 A.D. using wood blocks. However, it was to be centuries later before William Caxton was attributed with producing the first book to be printed in English.

  • Alliteration In The Hands Of Master Writers
    By: marciano guerrero | -

    Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
    Tongue-twister

    When writers combine stressed syllables that begin with the same consonant sound, they can achieve not only euphonious sounds, but also mark certain beats and cadence within the narrative's rhythm. For example:

    Noise, nausea, and loneliness-but that's nothing really new.

    The 'n' consonant adds a very distinctive rhythm to the text, adding a halting cadence to the grim, negat ...

  • Teen Suicide Statistics - An Epidemic Of Self Inflicted Death Among Canadian Youth
    By: Beverly OMalley | - The Canadian teen suicide statistics are alarming. Between 1952 and 1992 the national suicide rate increased by 78%. but by comparison the teen suicide rate for the same period increased more than 600%. If any disease or bacteria was causing such an alarming rise in the number of deaths it would surely be considered an epidemic.

    Females account for 75% of attempted suicides, usually by drug overdose. But males are actually six times more likely to be successful and choose more vi ...

  • Madness, Futility, And Death: A Shakespearean Take On Poe's The Raven"'
    By: Paul Thomson | - Edgar Allan Poes The Raven is one of the most easily recognizable poems in the world, ranking it right up there with Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit. Written from a first-person perspective, the poem chronicles its narrators rapid descent into madness, paranoia, and the macabre after a strange encounter with a ghoulish raven. His brooding melancholy at the beginning of the narrative has been set off by the loss of a beloved Lenore, whom we are left to presume ...

  • Visions Of Dystopia In The Giver And The Lottery"'
    By: Paul Thomson | - Lois Lowrys The Giver is only one in a huge series of classic dystopian literature. (Think utopia, then think Third Reich.) What makes it stand out from novels like 1984 or Brave New World aside from the iconic grizzled-old-man cover is that you might have memories of reading it already in the fourth or fifth grade; in this sense, you could put The Giver in the same category as Shirley Jacksons The Lottery, a deceptively uncomplicated dystopian short story ...

(Unlike Gothic novels, Southern Gothic novels are more interested in uncovering social crimes and injustices than being gloomy for gloomy ...

  • A Rose For Emily: Memorializing The Anniversary Of William Faulkner's Death
    By: Paul Thomson | - July 6, 2009 marks the forty-seventh anniversary of William Faulkners death. Although the date of someones demise isnt the kind of thing we typically celebrate (what, no piatas?), we must remember that Faulkners writing relied heavily on themes of death and decay, and that he would never have us flinch in the face of his or anyone elses mortality.

    What Faulkner would have us flinch in the face of, apparently, was his writing, which teems with ...

    By: Paul Thomson | - Whether we like to admit it or not, theres something in the human heart thats drawn to darkness and chaos. You know that superhuman hearing you suddenly get when car tires screech in the distance? Or the strange glee you feel when the Joker blows up a hospital in his finest nurses uniform?

  • Father's Day What It Is All About
    By: Daniel Adams | - Parents are the greatest gifts any child can have. Just as our childhood and life thereafter, the word 'parents' is also incomplete without a father. As we celebrate the love, care, and support of our mothers on the Mothers Day, the idea of Fathers Day was also to love, respect, and honor the ever present love, support, guidance, and teachings of our fathers in our lives. We can never return the kind of love and affection we receive from our parents and it would be foolish to think that ...

  • A Joy Forever
    By: arcel | - I was twelve years old, and I read those words for the very first time. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. I was in our school library, trying to search for Endymion mainly because I was twelve years old and I became fascinated with the subject of mythology; rather than focusing on the major goddesses like Gaia, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite or Persephone, I instead became more enamored by Selene, the Moon (not the GODDESS of the moon, but the moon herself). Selene ...

  • Loved Ones And Creative Obituaries
    By: Ben Nystrom | - Creative obituaries are a new spin on an old tradition. In the 1500s when the printing press became more popular and widely used, obituaries began as short death notices and usually contained only the deceased's name, date of birth, death date, and cause of death. In the 1800s, longer, more elaborate obituaries began to show up in the London paper, The Times". These new obituaries included short poems, scriptural passage, and biographies.

    By: Anna Vera Williams | - Long before Autumn,
    Long before June,
    I sent you blue roses
    Beneath a white moon.

    Almost six years ago,
    Under the sky,
    I watched the stars
    And I swallowed a sigh.

    You spoke of sunshine
    And laughter and life ...
    I remained red-eyed,
    Saddened with strife.

    The wind of your woes was
    As much as I heard.
    I sent you two roses
    And whispered a word.
