butterflies freedom

    I'm learning more about butterflies right now, and in particular I'm wondering about is: are butterflies a symbol of freedom? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it is part of my essay. Butterflies are free little creatures, they're so beautiful &amazing. I love butterflies. "Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom," The quote I chose here is basically saying butterflies were granted freedom from the Great Spirit.

      This is importnat because it shows, that the idea, of a ghost is so cool, that people use it in movies and theatre. People actually go see these movies, to be entertainied or to be scared. If they are scared by a movie, I wonder what would happen if they saw one in real life.
  • Although the human soul was sometimes symbolically or literally depicted in ancient cultures as a bird or other animal, it was widely held that the soul was an exact reproduction of the body in every feature, even down to clothing the person wore.

      This is basically stating that the ghost of a person, will have exactly the same features as the human had when he was living. If he was wearing a hat, the ghost will have a hat. If he had severe acne, the ghost will have severe acne.
  • A place where ghosts are reported is described as haunted, and often seen as being inhabited by spirits of deceased who may have been former residents or were familiar with the property

      I wonder if there is any way to get rid of these spirits if they actually are real and inhabit your home. I also wonder, if the ghost was, nice what would it do?

      This is basically saying, that the ghost will be close to the dead body of the ghost. Thats why people will avoid cemataries.
  • The ancient Romans believed a ghost could be used to exact revenge on an enemy by scratching a curse on a piece of lead or pottery and placing it into a grave.[27]

      This is important because, it shoes that some ghosts will do evil stuff, and it also shows that people have enough power to summon ghosts to do thier bidding
  • Malevolence and terror, the glare of evil faces, ‘the stony grin of unearthly malice', pursuing forms in darkness, and 'long-drawn, distant screams',

      I wonder if all ghosts are these evil scary creatures. I wonder if they are ugly
  • have speculated that changes in geomagnetic fields (created, e.g., by tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust or solar activity) could stimulate the brain's temporal lobes and produce many of the experiences associated with hauntings.

      In my own words this basically says your brain could be playing tricks on you
  • Critics of "eyewitness ghost sightings" suggest that limitations of human perception and ordinary physical explanations can account for such sightings; for example, air pressure changes in a home causing doors to slam, or lights from a passing car are reflected through a window at night.[67

      This is saying that parnormal activity could be just everyday things, but your brain is too frightened to use logic.

    I learning more about romantic poems right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about why do people write poems when they can express their feelings. I researching this question online, and this poem "Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her", it caught my attention because of the question why I loved her. "Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her a poem by Christopher Brennan If questioning would make us wise No eyes would ever gaze in eyes; If all our tale were told in speech No mouths would wander each to each. Were spirits free from mortal mesh And love not bound in hearts of flesh No aching breasts would yearn to meet And find their ecstasy complete. For who is there that lives and knows The secret powers by which he grows? Were knowledge all, what were our need To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?. Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why" I love you now until I die. For I must love because I live And life in me is what you give. "

    Wouldn't it be wonderful to work in a school where teach=in's were encouraged? "The teach-in proved to be a forum that appealed to broad sections of the student body. Indeed, it created a new relationship between students and faculty. Following the event, the Faculty-Student Committee to Stop the War in Vietnam was formed to organize other protest activities. As Waskow observed, "This teach-in is in the true spirit of a university where students and faculty learn from each other and not from the calendar." "

    Ever since I was a little kid I love Studio Ghibli's films such as My Neighbor Totoro ,Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and many others. Ponyo is more recent though. I was really excited to hear that a new movie was being made by Isao Takahata since he has not made a full length movie since 1999. I like their animation style and the way there movies are presented. I think I first got interested in animation and art when I saw My Neighbor Totoro. I hope to see this film and see if Isao movie style has changed at all.

Double personality

shared by Tian EWSIS on 31 Oct 09 - Cached

    Everyone has different personalities from each other. Some people are outgoing, while some people are shy. I think gregarious people always like to hang out with a large group so that they are usually afraid of loneliness, while shy or introverted people usually are affected less by loneliness. Moreover, what I'm wondering particularly is whether it's normal that a person has a double personality. One sentence that stood out for me in this blog was: "We all have both, the Devil and the God within us.the frustration that builds up, brings out the devil in you. He is the one who makes you unhappy, feel alone, lonely and tells you how sad a person you are.That is the time you feel the need of " a someone" to talk to, to shout at, to get your frustration out…then you try to look back in time ….happier times….sad times…time spent…life lived …which makes you sulk even more. On the other hand, the God within makes you a confident cool dude…be a charming person, people enjoy your company at the time you are smiling, making others smile…you are vibrant with positive energy. The God within makes you feel good about yourself, be at peace with the world around, the work you do in the day, enjoy the daily routine…spend the day without a fuss, any argument …and in the end, gift you a night, well slept." Thus, I believe that everyone has a double personality and sometimes it really affected our daily lives. Some people have told me that I'm very capricious and I also feel the same way actually. I can be very hilarious for a moment and become very impassive in another minute. I was definitely not as impassive as I look at that time and I absolutely don't have emotional problems, yet sometimes it just makes me look really whimsical. Perhaps it's just one of my personalities.
