Dictated by Alawy Esmael Elederos This Appeal Is Not Intended To 1 Dictated by Alawy Esmael Elederos This appeal is not intended to explain good reputation of any ethnic group of world nation, say Moslems or non Moslems, Arabs or non Arabs. But it is intended to remind peoples of their shorter entity on this planet and infinite Eternity after death. That majority of men and women believe only in entity and death but the infinite Eternity which starts instantly after death are in doubt of in their extreme mind visibility. At this stage devotee points out that every one of us believe without doubt that we have souls in our bodies that generate function of the whole physical constitution and blood circulation in veins, That these specific souls we can't see, smell, hear, taste by tongue or touch by hands and yet they really do exist, The existence of souls in our bodies is one of many existing beings within the unseen why then do we doubt about true Eternity that was confirmed affirmatively in all divine inspired scriptures and missionaries of all Lord's messengers and prophets in unimpeachable truth, Fatalism – The misinterpreted Theory Fatalism means faith in the infinite power of God PH fore-ordained every thing He create in the Cosmos. Some ancient peoples claimed mistakably that Adam's off- spring were born fatalists and that there is nothing to do for them as their future is already written in the stars. This theory is totally wrong misinterpreted. That fatalism can not change the status of Adam's off-spring to fatalists contrary to the will of our supreme Creator PH, hence fatalists is an over-riding act outside the will of God. Dictating devotee repeatedly reminds readers and peoples of the divine reliable source of truth which comprised missionaries of all Lord's messengers and prophets unto 2 Dictated by Alawy Esmael Elederos whom God inspired scripture, scrolls and charters. That this is the only sources all mankind ought to depend upon in their quest for the truth. The theory that peoples were born fatalists is banished by the divine reliable source of truth mentioned in this essay above. That all mankind have to take seriously what were revealed in ayah No.36 and 37 surat Albagarah holy Kuran which indicated the following truth;- Our original father and mother Adam and Eve were cast out from Eden to the imperfect world on earth after being seduced by their envious enemy the Satan (36) In ayah No. 37 Adam received an instructing advice from his Lord directing him to restore his original dwelling – heavenly paradise - through an obligatory promise to worship his Lord alone sincerely during his shorter sojourn on this planet. This is one of many testifying evidences banishing fatalists as mentioned here before. Ayah No. 38 revealed that both Adam and Eve must land on earth waiting for their well guidance. He who followed and adhere sincerely to the guidance of his Lord shall neither fear nor shall he grieve. History of mankind starting from story of the genesis proved that worship of one sole Lord began from era of Adam and not from the era of prophet Noah –peace be on him. That ayah Nos. 36 to 38 mentioned above were the first to impose worship of one sole Lord. Mankind ought only through one straight path to establish direct and continuous contact with their supreme Creator as confirmed by divine reliable source of truth. Holy Kuran explained in details the procedure that insured for true sincere worshipper satisfactory inevitable ending to be appreciated by his\her supreme Lord. That this last inspired scripture unto last prophet Mohamed confirmed that what Man could possess much or little earned throughout his mundane shorter life last to void and that what is supposed to remain valid is his good-doing through gateway of our Lord's final preference –Islam. 3 Dictated by Alawy Esmael Elederos Devotee draws the attention of all readers to ayah No. 3 surat Albagarah holy Kuran that emphasized believe in the unseen. That the Creator of the Cosmos knows that every individual shall see what were hidden for him during mundane life. That instantly after death all the hidden shall be exposed where he shall see it in an apparent clear perspective without hindering perplexity. Hence the unseen was A major factor of divine religion and a serious reminder that every individual has to prepare himself to deal with this divine miracle which shall be very amazing convulsing the slip-minded peoples. That the unseen individual shall face is not for his amusement or pleasure and at this point Devotee has to explain to readers from divine reliable source of truth the following;- Those who ignored deliberately divine sacred religion and contrived betrayals to avoid adhering to its compulsory teachings indeed shall face every scenery that makes them grieve in a remorse of contrition Why? Because they ignorantly dealt with their mundane shorter life as if it is the infinite Eternity ignoring their inevitable death and that they shaped their way of life outside their Lord's will. Devotee selected the following substantiating verse from holy Kuran that testify the truth that mankind were not born fatalists with their future already written in the starts as claimed. These sacred verses revealed that every body has to prepare himself to insure a satisfactory ending – death to be appreciated by his supreme Creator. That specific insurance shall shift him directly to the most amusing infinite eternity. Ayah No. 103 to 106 surat Alkhf holy Kuran revealed the following;- Prophet Mohamed was notifying mankind saying ; May I acquaint you about those whose works are totally lose 103. Indeed they are those who quest for the best in their mundane life mistakably feeling that they do the best.104. They are indeed those who persistently disbelieved in their Lord's sacred verses of the holy Kuran and to His 4 Dictated by Alawy Esmael Elederos meeting – at death-.their working efforts un-validated, We shalt not care for them in the hereafter. Theirs is indeed gehena as a reward for dealing with Our sacred verses as trifle and Our messengers as laughing-stock.105,106. And those who believed in Our sacred will and did the best theirs are but heavenly paradises with river streams and permanent residence for ever with no transfer. 107. Hence these verses conclusively testified that non of these two categories are fatalists at all. From peoples' history there are two categories closer to laughing-stock. The first is the one who misinterpret the utter-most important point which is seriously consequent to their affairs ignorantly. The other one is he who deliberately misinterprets it to in contrivance to avoid adhering to the will of their supreme Lord. Divine amnesty gives both the chance to correct their heinous attitudes to win God's blessing and appreciation should they truly promise to refrain from doing what is strictly forbidden. Devotee reminds readers of what Were revealed in ayah No, 13 surat Alisra holy Kuran. This ayah indicated that every individual has an inborn counting recorder located at his neck-like a black box of the aircraft-, and that from this recorder a list of every detested act done committer shall read it leaving no act he shall not be able to deny. At this point he shall realize that he was not oppressed by iniquity in the tribunal day in the hereafter. In this tribunal day all litigated human-beings shall be astonished by the truth that nothing had been cancelled by validity of time-barred but were kept in store for divine equitable litigation. That peoples shall be most convulsed when they shall see both what they did hide and forget shall be exposed to them without being able to deny. One of many verses of the holy Kuran revealing the truth confirmed that Allah alone knows what the betraying glance of our eyes snap and also that we consider as secret in our chests. That is why we always see and hear sincere moslem worshippers express their doxology seeking their Lord's forgiveness and pardon for every act they commit outside their consent. 5 Dictated by Alawy Esmael Elederos Dictating devotee from his good wishing trend for all mankind does hereby criticize the wrong conception that the holy Kuran is the scripture for Arabs only and that rest of mankind is inconsequent to their affairs. This is a very grave mistake when majority of men and women incline to this wrong concept with persistent ignorance. That peoples all without exemption have to be fully conversant with this last inspired scripture as it was interpreted to many languages of world nations for their advantage. This is a serious reminder as the matter is seriously consequent to their shorter sojourn on this planet. What starts as serious ignorantly or deliberately dealt with as trifle extends to utter- most important at the very critical moment of one's fatal ending – death. Divine reliable source of truth and precisely in many verses of the holy Kuran proved that every one at the moment of death feels that he is carrying a very heavy load of regret and that he lost something very dear of greatest value during his mundane shorter life. Indeed it is the holy Kuran – the deliberately ignored divine scripture which explain in details all steps for every sincere worshipper to prepare himself to enter his infinite amusing Eternity directly after death. Divine source of truth confirmed that the slip-minded shall yearn an impossible return after death to re-prepare themselves for the infinite amusing Eternity they lost where their aspiration shall be invalidated as an over-riding time-barred quest.

  • James Baldwin As a Writer of Short Fiction: an Evaluation
    JAMES BALDWIN AS A WRITER OF SHORT FICTION: AN EVALUATION dayton G. Holloway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1975 618208 ii Abstract Well known as a brilliant essayist and gifted novelist, James Baldwin has received little critical attention as short story writer. This dissertation analyzes his short fiction, concentrating on character, theme and technique, with some attention to biographical parallels. The first three chapters establish a background for the analysis and criticism sections. Chapter 1 provides a biographi­ cal sketch and places each story in relation to Baldwin's novels, plays and essays. Chapter 2 summarizes the author's theory of fiction and presents his image of the creative writer. Chapter 3 surveys critical opinions to determine Baldwin's reputation as an artist. The survey concludes that the author is a superior essayist, but is uneven as a creator of imaginative literature. Critics, in general, have not judged Baldwin's fiction by his own aesthetic criteria. The next three chapters provide a close thematic analysis of Baldwin's short stories. Chapter 4 discusses "The Rockpile," "The Outing," "Roy's Wound," and "The Death of the Prophet," a Bi 1 dungsroman about the tension and ambivalence between a black minister-father and his sons. In contrast, Chapter 5 treats the theme of affection between white fathers and sons and their ambivalence toward social outcasts—the white homosexual and black demonstrator—in "The Man Child" and "Going to Meet the Man." Chapter 6 explores the theme of escape from the black community and the conseauences of estrangement and identity crises in "Previous Condition," "Sonny's Blues," "Come Out the Wilderness" and "This Morning, This Evening, So Soon." The last chapter attempts to apply Baldwin's aesthetic principles to his short fiction.

Students will identify the music of Motown, its place in the broader context of American history, and its relationship with Detroit, the city of its origin.

In addition, this course will examine Motown’s creative and business processes and how they compared to the assembly-line manufacturing processes that are utilized by Detroit’s automotive industry.

  • Jazz Cities in History Jazz from a to Z (2016-2017)
    Keeping Time and Place: Jazz Cities in History Jazz from A to Z (2016-2017) Season Theme: Keeping Time and Place: Jazz Cities in History “If ‘jazz’ means anything at all, which is “questionable, it means the same thing it meant to musicians fifty years ago – freedom of expression. I used to have a definition, but I don’t think I have one anymore, unless it is that it is a music with an African foundation which came out of an American environment.” Duke Ellington Jazz is America’s music. It has deep roots in ragtime, blues, and the music of the Black church. It was shaped in American cities such as: New Orleans, Chicago, New York, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Los Angeles after the mass migration of blacks and immigrants to cities in the first half of the 20th century. Musicians steeped in these American urban cultures exercised the freedom of expression and made jazz their own. Technological advancements of the twentieth century and the prominence of the United States on the world stage allowed jazz to cross political and cultural boundaries. By studying great jazz cities, participants will explore many facets of urban culture, but also discuss issues that have historically concerned urban populations. As artists, jazz musicians were deeply impacted by time and place and created a soundtrack that can help connect us to the people of a city and the challenges they faced.
