    In this tedTalk with Joshua Foer‚ he was going over the importance of memory and how it makes you who you are. He was telling us about the memory experts and how much they can memorize in a short amount of time‚ comparing it to Ep who has possible the worst memory. I like how he started the speech because it just sounded silly and made no sense. The way he ended it actually helped me a lot‚ the way he brought it together to put crazy images in your mind that you will remember‚ to remember things

The first paragraph of the book tells the reader of the "swirl of gritty dust....The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats." Just from these few lines Orwell makes it clear that there was absolutely nothing victorious abuot Victory Mansions. Every image the reader receives from Winston Smith is pessimistic.

Not a single coworker was in sight and as I entered each new space of the building‚ the narrator told me to go forward into another. By the time I reached the stairwell‚ this is where I decided

    At first glance Joshua seems to just be a story of the Israelites and the settling of the Promised Land‚ however‚ there may also be a prophetic vision of God’s plan for Salvation of His people. The book of Joshua shows the difference between living a life‚ like Moses‚ under the Law of the Old Testament and under the freedom‚ which came from Jesus Christ‚ as Joshua did. One could certainly make a strong case that Joshua 1-6 can be looked at as a metaphor of Jesus Christ and man’s salvation through

    The "Parable of the Democracy of Goods" works to make society more egalitarian in that it stresses the fact that even middle class consumers can lead the lifestyle of the wealthy by purchasing products that are said to be used only by the "upper class".
