Let Her Go By Pedro Dias The moon so beautiful stands in the sky, Providing solace in the midst of night, Displaying her grace to all those with eyes, With her amazing gaze she shines so bright. She stands so close, yet I cannot touch her, Her beauty shines brighter than all the stars, Time looking at her goes by in a blur, When she leaves, I hope my heart has no scars. Will she be there when I need her the most To light up my sky in the wake of dark, To make my heart move like waves on a coast, To give me hope with her dazzling spark? I ponder if I should follow her glow, Or lose my emotions and let her go. (Winner of Mr. Townsend’s AP Lit 2016-2017 Sonnet Competition) 1 Pistanthrophobia By David Asafu-Adjaye The calming winds are silent ’gainst a shriek, A sea of thought, all intellect devoid; The frame by which those lovely words you speak, Would, into pieces die, quickly destroyed. The waves which ’gainst the sandy shore will beat, Might forward bring the blare of beating drums, And pools of hope be soaked up, then deplete, A coward’s gloomy chant calls death in hums. And yet the air you breathe has given life, Though one should sadly find their windpipe choked, But fear the wisdom of the christened knife, Which out of birth, holds danger when provoked. The threat which stands will stem for those betrayed, The objects of trust now make you afraid. (Finalist in Mr. Townsend’s AP Lit 2016-2017 Sonnet Competition) 2 Self-Apartheid By Qua'janae James The history that is taught is filled with lies, To be born “black” is something I despise; My soul does shriek like children’s piercing cries, The stories of the past are so disguised. While you can trace generations back, Your great grandparent’s friend or foe, I think we need to face pressing facts, Being “black” is all I will truly know. Your land is but a few stops from my own, Just tell me from where did your blue ships sail, Self-hate is what we too are sadly prone, Like in the past my people will prevail. To create change, learn info that’s not new, Because like me, the truth was hid from you. (Finalist in Mr. Townsend’s AP Lit 2016-2017 Sonnet Competition) 3 The Black Woman By Imani Taylor In generation after generation, Your beauty has been questioned and thus doubted. The crushing pain became the base foundation, From which a black, fierce flower thus sprouted. Buried so deep like the forgotten treasures, Concealed below the feet of the rude tyrant, Suppressing cries to catastrophic measures, The strong black woman always stands more virent. When your skin glistens under the bright sun, It’s clear that you are perfectly unique. Dark, fluffy curls, makes hair days much more fun, Great qualities make you so far from bleak. Take pride and strut through life like a sweet queen, Black beauty is an honor to be seen. (Finalist in Mr. Townsend’s AP Lit 2016-2017 Sonnet Competition) 4 Restoring Our Race By Maryum Bhatti It's the presence of black and brown bodies That threatens the liberty of the white man; The hate has become part of their hobbies, And slavery is where it all began. From the early mornings in the cotton field To ceaseless cruelty and oppression, Slavery was a wound that never healed, For it fostered a lot of aggression. Racism itself is existing still, Since unjust acts leave people horrified, Getting our rights is what we will fulfill, For this is the reason why many died. Let us continue to uplift each other, Because we have to move our race further. (Finalist in Mr. Townsend’s AP Lit 2016-2017 Sonnet Competition) 5 Overthinking Isn’t Fun By Jhon Beltran The thoughts I’ve dreamt will never leave the mind Though fear in strife does always love to cloud; I see that life and pain are intertwined, The worries in my head are much too loud. My home is full of oceans that are rough, I pray every day for them to recede, But hurricanes will be there sure enough, Thus, sadly, I cannot move to proceed. And once my thoughts take my mind as hostage, The storm’s waves splash and make my mind go round; Gone and dark in this horrific wastage; No! Fight, I will, to reach the clear foreground. If I could control the way my thoughts arrived, Distinct I’d be in the world of deprived. 6 Reasons By Amanda Barreto The pretty colors danced a thousand hues; When you laughed, butterflies came out to play; In that moment, I knew that my world was you, You made me believe things would be okay. Spring changed into summer; I looked for shade; Your smile was warmer than the blazing sun; I couldn’t get enough, I grew afraid, Nothing lasts, but I didn’t want to run. Winter arrived, you had to say goodbye, As the snow fell, you forced me to let go; You could not stay, I will never know why, You left too soon, I could not blame you though. You were with me one day and gone the next; That’s how life works, what more can I expect? 7 Too Fast By Nancy Ayala I feel my heart strike hard against my ribs; My body, fighting the deep shifty sea, The darkness and the water calling dibs, On me, how, oh! How I wish I could just flee. Then, my body goes crawling with fervent fear, I can't give into the strong evil gloom, Things slowly become a bit more unclear, And just too quickly it starts to consume. Unexpectedly, I see the bright light, Red complexion followed by orange hues, Warmth spreading like exploding dynamite, Sending away all of the sea’s abuse. And now my lungs can breathe with all their might, Leaving the dark behind, I welcome light. 8 Always There By Sianna Arruda A common thought creeps slowly in my head, Why am I always thinking of just you? They say, “stay away,” I scorn them instead, You are harmful, but I cannot break through. You are always there when I am in need; You are heavenly and sweet and a blessing; If I let you go I will not succeed, But you have other lovers I am guessing. Chocolate, many don't know you’re my center, You make me feel like I’m finally whole; All I have to say is bless your inventor; Chocolate, you are a part of my soul. If you ever leave me, I will be lost, I would not replace you at any cost.

    HOPE FOR EVEN ME 1 Loving God Without All The Answers: Hope for Even Me By John Stewart Hill 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

    O’Brien, Catherine. "Introduction." : . London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2018. 1–12. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 1 Oct. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350003309.0005>.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. Introduction A statue of a Madonna and Child in a New York kitchen appears in the opening shot of Martin Scorsese’s Who’s That Knocking at My Door (1967–9); and the final image ofSilence (2016) is of a handmade crucifix glowing in the flames of a crematory fire in seventeenth-century Japan. It is inarguable that there is a Catholic dimension to Scorsese’s filmography that can be traced from the Marian icon in his first full-length feature right through to his movie about Jesuit priests that was released around fifty years later. With due respect paid to the scale of the task, the following chapters engage with that particular cinematic trajectory and take seriously the oft-quoted words of the director himself: ‘My whole life has been movies and religion. That’s it. Nothing else.’ Scorsese was born in 1942, educated by the Sisters of Charity and received his religious instruction before the mood of aggiornamento that was heralded by Pope John XXIII’s instigation of Vatican II (the Second Vatican Council of 1962– 5), which was an effort to modernize the Catholic Church. Indeed, religion(s) played a role in the young boy’s life, even down to the fact that his father Charles earned pragmatic money by lighting the stoves for his Jewish neighbours on the Sabbath.

ISP Licensing-A Carrot to the Stick of Three-Strikes Laws Steven Masur* and Cynthia Katz * * I. INTRODUCTION The law and business of media distribution in the United States devel- oped in a world in which media was distributed using technologies controlled by a value chain of rights holders and distributors. Advances in digital distri- bution technologies and widespread use of the Internet have moved media distribution technology directly into the hands of consumers or creative members of the general public. This sea of change calls for an examination of how U.S. copyright law applies to new business models that take advan- tage of these technologies. One proposal, which has garnered a significant amount of attention in the United States, is collective rights licensing at the Internet Service Provider (ISP) level.' In short, the proposal is that a fee for the use and sharing of media accessed on the Internet should be applied at the point of access: the ISP.2 Since the early days of media distribution on the Internet, a wide variety of individuals and industry groups have suggested collective compensation schemes to compensate rights holders for content accessed on the Internet.

His return, some eleven months later, caused a worldwide stir as he airmailed himself home and become the first and only person ever to fly the Pacific Ocean in a crate. His story is currently being made into a feature film and is the subject of a BBC Television documentary. In 1962, when air-travel was in its infancy, a nineteen-year-old boy who felt trapped in Melbourne, Australia, made up his mind that he was going to return to his homeland in the United Kingdom. He was prevented from doing so by both lack of documentation and the funds required. Putting an idea to work without the thought of losing his life, he became the first person in history to fly for nearly five days in a crate across the Pacific Ocean. The Author Brian Robson was born in the United Kingdom in June 1945 and has spent most of his adult life travelling and living in various countries throughout Europe and South East Asia.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Calypso allusions in Naipaul's Miguel Street Abstract V .S. Naipaul's detached and often disdainful attitude to emergent societies has made him many enemies in the Third World . and his portrayal of the black man is particularly problematic since it involves a level of aloofness and scorn not to be found even in his comments on the 'wounded civilization' of India and the 'overcrowded barracoon' of Mauritius. Black West Indians are largely missing from Naipaul's early fiction and when they do appear, in the form of characters like the black M.L.C. whose monocle falls in his soup at the Governor's dinner in The Mystic Masseur (1957) or Miss Blackie, the Tulsis' faithful retainer in A House for Mr Biswas (1961), they are usually caricatured. In his more recent novels black characters figure more prominently, but are generally held at arm's length.
