Duty honor country speech5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn. "Duty, Honor, Country" - those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. That I should be integrated in this way with so noble an ideal, arouses a sense of pride and yet of humility which will be with me always. For all eyes and for all time, it is an expression of the ethics of the American soldier. But this award is not intended primarily to honorº a personality, but to symbolize a great moral code - the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land of culture and ancient descent. It fills me with an emotion I cannot express. No human being could fail to be deeply moved by such a tribute as this, coming from a profession I have served so long and a people I have loved so well.

One only bob5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() When Stella dies, Ivan makes a promise to save her young friend, Ruby, from a life of captivity. ![]() Who dies in knowing The One and Only Ivan? The partition in his cage is lowered and he sees the gorilla family that he has been watching on TV. What does Ivan give to Bob as he and Ruby are leaving to go to the zoo? Ivan gives Bob Not-Tag, the stuffed toy gorilla. DeVito describes Bob as “a scruffy dog that comes around, and he and Ivan become friend What Ivan gives Bob? TV-loving Bob is a scrappy, stray dog who has adopted the mall as his home-and has quickly befriended all the animals in the circus attraction. It was followed in 2020 by The One and Only Bob, presented from the point of view of Ivan's best friend, the dog Bob. It has won several other awards and is currently nominated to several reading lists. But all other characters and situations in the novel are entirely the product of my imagination. Ivan and Kinyani were real gorillas - and so, by the way, was Jambo, whose story is recounted in the book. Ivan passed away in 2012 at an Atlanta zoo, where he had lived between the ages of 48 and 50. ![]() Sadly, the silverback show gorilla is sadly no longer alive. ![]()

Change octavia butler5/13/2023 ![]() Breaking into a genre in which initially there were very few Black people, Butler used her voice to speak out against injustice, paving the way for Black science fiction writers for generations to come. Next, I include an introduction to Butler’s journey as a Black science fiction writer. These feelings are what encouraged writings such as the Parables, helping the reader to understand why Butler felt the need to create a new type of religion instead of making use of one that already existed. ![]() It is important to start with a bit of background on Butler herself, sharing how her upbringing and experiences in life influenced her feelings about religion. ![]() ![]() It is my intention in this paper to define Butler’s Change God and illustrate how she created it to end oppression in all forms. ![]()

![]() ![]() A landmark contribution to philosophical and scientific thought, this edition also includes an introductory historical sketch and a glossary Darwin later added to the original text. Beagle, The Origin of Species set forth a theory of evolution and natural selection that challenged contemporary beliefs about divine providence and the immutability of species. Huxley had a different reaction: "How extremely stupid not to have thought of that." Based largely on Darwin's experience as a naturalist while on a five-year voyage aboard H.M.S. Theologians quickly labeled Charles Darwin the most dangerous man in England, and, as the Saturday Review noted, the uproar over the book quickly "passed beyond the bounds of the study and lecture-room into the drawing-room and the public street." Yet, after reading it, Darwin's friend and colleague T. Perhaps the most readable and accessible of the great works of scientific imagination, The Origin of Species sold out on the day it was published in 1859. ![]()
