  • Tommy Rock's Life Story
    Tommy Rock’s Life Story The Many Lives of Roeck-n-Roll Tommy started his quest at age 2 doing the twist to his half sister Linda's Beatles and Chubby Checker records. At 5 he began singing along with his parents' Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole records. Encouraged by his Mother, he accurately mimicked the popular songs of the era, and began playing guitar at age 8. Tutored by his older half brother Bobby, he learned very quickly, and began rivaling his mentor's skills within a few years. With his Sears cassette recorder and his Silver tone guitar and amp in case always in hand he would practice singing and playing for endless hours, until his parents made him go to bed. While in grammar school, he excelled in the arts. Drawing, painting, creative writing, singing in choir, playing clarinet and saxophone at school functions, he won many awards. At age 15 he began pursuing the guitar with a mad passion. He was influenced at first by John Denver, Jim Croce, and Elton John and then later by bands like Aerosmith, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Rush, and The Stones. With the warm tube tones, and screaming vocals of the 70's at hand, he was star stricken and vowed that music would be his life. His younger brother David was also a gifted student, and made good grades, especially in metal shop and auto-mechanics. In 1977 His Father Robert Roeck, a Veteran of WW2, hailing from Chicago, and a Journeyman Maintenance Machinist of 30 years, with Bethlehem Steel Corporation, retired and moved his family to the resort community of Hot Springs, Arkansas.

  • Tommy Wilhelm's Psychological Rebirth in Saul
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 4, Series. 6 (April. 2020) 05-10 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Tommy Wilhelm’s Psychological Rebirth in Saul Bellow’s Seize the Day: a Study from Jungian Perspective Kamol Karmakar Lecturer, Department of English, University of Science and Technology Chittagong (USTC) Zakir Hossain Road, Foy’s Lake, Khulshi, Chattogram 4202 Abstract: This paper attempts to investigate how Tommy Wilhelm, the protagonist of Saul Bellow‟s masterpiece Seize the Day (1956), had a psychological rebirth in the middle of a totally disorganized and confused life. Here, the term „rebirth‟ does not mean Tommy had this immortality mantra, the mantra for rejuvenating himself from any kind of disease or any kind of wound or injury, but is metaphorically used to express the self-actualization which is very surprisingly created in his mind. This paper tries to reach its goal by using the lens of Jungian point of view, showing how Tommy ultimately realizes that striving after perfection is like chasing after wind. Many researchers showed that Tommy, having a truckload of troubles, could not literally learn anything from his numerous mistakes. But, the result of this research disagrees with the previous researchers showing that, despite being surrounded by too many money-oriented people in a money-adoring society, and having done so many mistakes in his life, Tommy learned a whole lot of things, and ultimately realized how he should utilize his time to live his life. Needless to say, he had a shift of his mindset to a whole new level, and that is, going from the state of being so pessimistic to optimistic.

    THE BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Stephen King | 496 pages | 30 Nov 2015 | Hodder & Stoughton General Division | 9781473698888 | English | London, United Kingdom The Bazaar of Bad Dreams PDF Book Definitely a story to be forgotten soon. I'm not even a big baseball fan and this one was one of my favorites in the book. After discovering his talent- he swears to use it sparingly and on bad people only, but this has unforeseen consequences. Since his first collection, Nightshift , published 35 years ago, Stephen King has dazzled listeners with his genius as a writer of short fiction. Not his usual. There are thrilling connections between stories, including themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, and what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. A series of mile drives in college led to Mile 81 and the most homicidal car since Christine. I was delighted to see Drunken Fireworks included as it was originally released as an audiobook exclusive this summer. Plus, it features autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write or rewrite each story. More Details It's cool. Pain you cannot see is usually written off or flat out ignored by the very people who you seek help from. Add to Wish List failed. Although I must say, I really love the structure of this story. Cancel anytime. There were some stories here I loved , and some that, as some of Mr. Listeners also enjoyed Mile 81 — This story was surprisingly and glaringly amateur.

  • Philosophical Discussions of Moral Concerns in a 7Th Grade Language Arts Classroom
    Philosophical Discussions of Moral Concerns in a 7th Grade Language Arts Classroom Annelie “Scotty” Mecum F.M. Black Middle School INTRODUCTION – IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM For the past several years I’ve encouraged my students to participate in a writing contest sponsored locally for seventh and eighth graders entitled ―Do the Write Thing.‖ Each year I receive a packet which includes posters and a variety of helpful lesson plans focused on reducing violence. I also bring a number of books from the library into the classroom as well as journals or magazines I may have regarding topics such as peer pressure, gangs and bullies. In groups the students then read several different scenarios and discussed what happened, how the situation could have been avoided or redirected, and whether other novel ways existed of handling the problem. Yet this year, after all that exposure, the students didn’t really focus on what the prompt asked for – ―What can you do to help reduce violence?‖ Instead, for the most part, students wrote about episodes that occurred in their own lives which were examples of violence, but they did not include clearly identified consequences or suggestions about how the situation could have been handled differently. One student insisted that we have to have a fair share of violence in order to appreciate all the good in life. Even after we discussed the possibility of a violent act taking a child away – snuffing out the only opportunity for life that child had on this planet – the student would not compromise her final statement. Most of my students had no problem identifying violence, yet they couldn’t imagine how to reduce it.
