Morrison’s life events had a direct effect on his work. At the age of four or five, Morrison recalls that he witnessed a traffic accident while his family crossed the desert. There had been a collision and there were bodies of dead and dying Indians scattered on the ground. Morrison would later relate that this was his first taste of death, but it certainly would not be the last. In later years, Morrison came to be much of a hitchhiker. He was constantly confronted with dangerous situations that put his life on the line; many times he would return home beaten or bruised. He never directly told anyone what had happened on his pilgrimages across the American highways, but his written works tell the story of what really happened in those strange days. Another very influential event in Morrison’s life was the Vietnam War. This war was the first to experience such strong antiwar sentiments. Morrison was a strong opponent of the war. He was heavily influenced by the violent images sent back from Vietnam. Morrison would watch news coverage and take notes on what he saw so that he could incorporate it into a new song or poem. Furthermore, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. occurred during Morrison’s lifetime. Death was on the roam in the 1960’s, and Morrison was captivated by this beautiful monster.

Morrison’s haunting lyrics that he moaned into auditoriums as the lead singer of The Doors are the most obvious in their references to death. “Moonlight Drive”, a love song brimming with far out imagery, held a darker meaning to it. Throughout the song there is anticipation building as the two individuals get closer and closer together on their moonlight drive. However, as the song winds down, death intrudes on these simple love lyrics. As the song begins to fade we hear the lines, “Come on, baby, gonna [sic] take a little ride/ Down, down by the ocean side/ Gonna [sic] get real close/ Get real tight…” but then death appears and shatters the magic evening, “Baby gonna [sic] drown tonight/ Goin’ [sic] down, down, down” (Morrison, Strange). This dark message is barely audible on the album, but can be heard if carefully listened for. “Moonlight Drive” is in actuality not a love song, but a romantic suicide. Another water related death song is “Horse Latitudes”. This song comes from the same album and is filled with death. It depicts a scene where horses are thrown from a ship into the ocean and drowned. The vocabulary choice for this song consists mostly of words that have a darker stigma attached to them. Most interesting is the word choice used when describing the horses’ actual death by drowning. Morrison says, “heads bob up/ Poise/ Delicate/ Pause/ Consent/ In mute nostril agony/ Carefully refined/ And sealed over” (Morrison, Strange). This imagery creates a feeling of pain for the horses, but also makes their death seem beautiful in some strange way. Morrison’s beautification of such an agonizing death shows his respect and delight in death. “Riders on the Storm”, the closing track of L.A. Woman, touches on the subject of a “killer on the road”. This killer is a hitchhiker and is placed in this song as a direct result of Morrison’s days as a hitchhiker.  The pinnacle of Morrison’s antiwar statements is “The Unknown Soldier”. This song describes the American family viewing horrific scenes of death and violence from Vietnam as well as the death of an unknown soldier representing any soldier in the war (Davis 211). Later this song was developed into a short film depicting the execution of a soldier who tried to desert during Vietnam. The song goes into the tragedy of the fallen soldier, “Make a grave for the unknown soldier/ Nestled in your hollow shoulder/ The unknown soldier” (Morrison, Waiting). The media coverage of the grotesque and brutal killings in the Vietnam War was fuel for Morrison’s dark lyrics. These ideas of dying soldiers are present in all of Morrison’s antiwar songs, including “Five to One”, where Morrison would scream into the audience, “No one here gets out alive” (Morrison, Waiting). Here, Morrison is foretelling the future of those condemned to Vietnam. Morrison’s life led his lyrics to become caked with death and doom.

Not known to many, Morrison was an accomplished poet. He published a few collections of poetry and since his death some of his unpublished work has been printed. In these poems even more so than in his songs there is a strong presence of death. The Lords and the New Creatures is a collection of short, unnamed prose and poetry. There are several passages in which death stands out more clearly than others. In one, “All games contain the idea of death” (Morrison, The Lords 14), death stands out clear as day. This passage is more meaningful if the reader knows more about Morrison when he or she reads it. Morrison would refer to his career with The Doors as well as his life as “the game” or “a game”. Morrison in this passage is stating that his career and life are connected with death in some way that is more meaningful than for most. Morrison’s antiwar sentiments were shown in a passage reading “It takes a large murder to turn rocks in the shade and expose strange worms beneath. The lives of our discontented madmen are revealed” (Morrison, The Lords 16). This short prose tells how there must be many deaths for the general public to realize that those in the shadows, the politicians, are grotesque and sickening. They are madmen sending poor soldiers to the grave. In another passage Morrison writes, “My son will not die in the war/ He will return/ numbed peasant voice of Orient/ fisherman” (Morrison, The Lords 137). This is another reference to death, but from a unique point of view. This passage concerns the Vietnam War once again, but is from the perspective of a Vietnamese citizen rather than an American citizen. Morrison is relaying to the reader that the fear of death for those around you is a universal feeling that we sometimes lose sight of when we regard a people only as our enemies. The most blatant use of death in The Lords and New Creatures comes from a particularly lengthy passage; “Kill me!/ Kill the child who made/ Thee./…Kill hate/ disease/ warfare/ sadness/ Kill badness/ Kill madness/ Kill photo mother murder tree/ Kill me./ Kill yourself/ Kill the little blind elf” (Morrison, The Lords 134). This particular poem commands the murder of all that is evil in the world; however, along with the wicked things, Morrison adds, “Kill me. / Kill yourself” (Morrison, The Lords 134). In this he is indicating that death is the path toward purity and freedom. Morrison reaffirms this idea in another short piece of prose, “An object cut off from its name, habits, associations. Detached, it becomes only the thing, in and of itself. When this disintegration into pure existence is at last achieved, the object is free to become endlessly anything.” (Morrison, The Lords 78) Morrison is describing the freedom of death, in that when an entity is no longer tied to this world and its laws it then becomes free and limitless. Morrison’s fondness and glamorization of death is also seen in a poem describing the assassination of a king. “The assassin’s bullet/ Marries the King/ Dissembling miles of air/ To kiss the crown” (Morrison, The Lords 123) Morrison’s gentle and tender vocabulary concerning such a brutal means of death shows once more his interest in death. Furthermore, this particular passage was certainly influence by assassinations that occurred around the time of this work’s publication. A collection of poems released after Morrison’s death, entitled Wilderness, contains pages of Morrison’s unpublished work. The poems concerning death in this particular collection all have a similar theme. These works share the message of death being a way to achieve purity or a better existence. One work begins with, “Why the desire for death” (Morrison, Wilderness 199), and follows with a comparison of life to a piece of paper marred with markings, then concludes with the reason for desire, “Desire for a Perfect Life” (Morrison, Wilderness 199). Morrison is explaining his belief that through death we begin anew in the purest form and can have a new existence. In another poem, Morrison stages a dialogue between ghosts and a hitchhiker in which the ghosts tell the hitchhiker, “It/ never changes. Death of/ you will give you life/ & free you from a vile/ fate” (Morrison, Wilderness 46). The spirits of the dead are speaking to the lone hitchhiker and giving him advice on attaining a pure and euphoric experience. Morrison has often been quoted as saying, “People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend...” (ThinkExist). This poem reestablishes his belief that death is more of a savior than the wicked tormentor it is portrayed as. Death, in Morrison’s eyes, is just a friend who is there to help you escape from the pain of living. Many of Morrison’s closest friends would ask themselves if Morrison was truly in love with death, or if it was just an act. His private writings such as these show that he was in fact lusting for death, just as his self-destructive behavior in life showed him to be.

Morrison wrote one play that he made into a short film some time after it was written. The play was entitled HWY: An American Pastoral. In this play, there is an unnamed hitchhiker who kills a man while crossing the desert. This is a senseless murder that is committed because the main character feels that it will perpetuate his existence. The play goes on as the killer on the road wanders across the desert highways and eventually ends with the hitchhiker’s demise. The hitchhiker, in death, comes upon a fireside where bizarre strangers are there to meet him. This represents the hitchhiker’s transcendence through death into a plane of higher existence. The basic elements of death are present in this play, however there is an element of much greater importance in this work----this work is autobiographical for Morrison. Morrison himself hitchhiked great distances across the American deserts, and on a number of occasions returned bruised and injured. He never explained his injuries but on more than one occasion stated that he had killed a man in the desert. Because of Morrison’s notorious tall tales, however, this was never taken very seriously. Based on HWY, it can be concluded that Morrison used his literature to describe his experiences that he had in the desert. Furthermore, Morrison makes a prediction about the future, in that his death will be transcendence to a new existence into a bizarre world.

Although Morrison’s work is undisputedly filled with death, many may overlook a more subtle reference to death. Morrison would speak about a spiritual or interpretive death, rather than simply the end of life. There were many themes about a death of innocence in this mortal life. In Wilderness Morrison wrote, “To feel on the verge of an exorcism/ a rite of passage/ To wait, or seek manhood/ enlightenment in a gun/ To kill childhood, innocence/ in an instant” (Morrison, Wilderness 25). Here Morrison described events in life where a person would lose the naivety of childhood and become exposed to the harsh world. Morrison even explicitly says “kill childhood, innocence”. In another passage, “night of sin (The Fall)/ -1^st sex” (Morrison, Wilderness 21), describes the experience of losing virginity as a fall. This is another example of death in the sense of the death of innocence. Morrison best explains this idea in another poem in Wilderness, “I’m alive. I’m dying” (Morrison, Wilderness 81). Morrison is becoming alive through death, by destroying the naivety of youth. Morrison argues both for the death of innocence in life, and then for purity in death. Morrison believed that “‘First, you must have the period of disorder, chaos; returning to a primal disaster region. Out of that, you purify the elements, and find a new seed of life, which transforms all life, all matter, all personality- until, finally, hopefully, you emerge and marry all those dualisms and opposites.’” (Davis 183) He believed that when a life begins, it is naive but not pure. There must be the death of innocence, of naivety, before the final death can make one reborn into purity. A more subtle tale of the death of innocence is “Summer’s Almost Gone”. This song describes the musings of a man as the summer comes to an end. Morrison meant for this to be a questioning of what will be after death. Life is represented by summer and death by winter. In the song Morrison asks several times, “When the summer’s gone/ where will we be.” The conclusion of this song is the lines, “The winter’s comin’ [sic] on/ Summer’s almost gone” (Morrison, Waiting). This refers to death following life. Interestingly, the following track is entitled “Wintertime Love”. This is mean to conclude that death is still a welcome friend, even after questioning it on whether it will be better than life. The best example of Morrison’s use of spiritual death is the greatly misunderstood portion of “The End” where Morrison describes a killer who murders his family and then has sex with his mother. This portion of the song reads, “The killer awoke before dawn, he/ put his boots on/ He took a face from the ancient gallery/ And he walked on down the hall/ He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he/ Paid a visit to his brother, and then he/ He walked on down the hall, and/ And he came to a door...and he looked inside/ Father, yes son, I want to kill you/ Mother...I want to...fuck you!” (Morrison, The Doors) Morrison was not simply talking about a murderous rampage or any kind of incestuous desires. “Kill the father” means kill all the things in oneself that is not part of them. “Fuck the mother” means to get back to Mother Earth and nature, to get back to reality. (Davis 143) These lyrics are a mirror of Oedipus Rex: destroying alien concepts and getting back to truth and reality. Morrison calls for the true self to be brought forward by destroying everything that is not of the self. Morrison was also an environmentalist who used his lyrics to outline the death of the planet at the hands of man. In “When the Music’s Over”, Morrison croons, “What have we done to the Earth? / What have we done to our pale sister/ Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her/ Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn/ And tied her with fences and dragged her down” (Morrison, Strange). Morrison was one of the first environmentalist singers and would tell the world exactly how the people were killing the planet.

Along with HWY, Morrison had many other pieces of work that were autobiographical. These works firmly cement Morrison’s obsession with death. In “Peace Frog”, Morrison describes different scenes from around America and how they are filling with blood. Morrison mentions at two points in the song, “Blood on the rise, it’s following me” (Morrison, Morrison). Morrison believes that death is following him and that it is spreading throughout the nation. All the locations that he lists in the songs are places that The Doors played. Morrison indicates that he believes himself to be a herald of death of sorts. “Riders on the Storm” is similar to HWY in that they both feature a hitchhiker in the desert who commits murder. The lyrics read, “There’s a killer on the road/ His brain is squirming like a toad” (Morrison, L.A.). This is another reference to Morrison’s days of roaming the desert as a hitchhiker and his hidden murder or desire to murder. Another example comes from Wilderness and was later made into a song called “Bird of Prey”. The phrase “bird of prey” is repeated many times throughout the poem. The bird represents death, as one would expect given the ideas associated with vultures and other scavenger birds. In this poem Morrison asks death, “Am I going to die” (Morrison, Wilderness 139). Here, we again see Morrison’s uncertainty about death; however, he is speaking personally to death. Morrison shared a close connection with death. He said to the press, “I want to feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it” (ThinkExist). Morrison lusted for death all his life, and finally got his wish in the end. He chose his death by the lifestyle that he lived.

Morrison filled his life with prophecies of his death and strange teachings concerning the subject. He believed that there was a purpose in death and that there was a cycle to things. His literature and lyrics are a testament to his beliefs and reflect the strong hold that death had over the Lizard King.

Both brutally and beautifully honest, Mark Wilkerson's Who Are You - The Life Of Pete Townshend is as open and reflective as its subject matter, which is (just one of the many reasons) why it, along with the man who wrote: '' Hope I die before I get old,'' deserves our utmost attention. For just as Townshend has always been an intelligent and articulate interviewee, Wilkerson has ensured that no stone has remained unturned, in what can only be described as a kaleidoscopic and chaotic lust for life – even if it hasn't always been the happiest.

From the subject's early West London days, right up to last year's charity concert at London's Roundhouse celebrating the life of Traffic's Jim Capaldi (alongside Paul Weller, Steve Winwood and Joe Walsh), it's all here: the inspiration behind Tommy, the making of Quadrophenia, the adulation of Meher Baba, the marriage to Karen Astley, the controversial management team of Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, the amp attacks, the alcohol and drug abuse following the death of Keith Moon, the humiliation of being cautioned by police in 2002 for supposedly downloading child pornography, and of course, the ever tempestuous relationship between Townshend and Roger Daltry: ''Pete should never try to be a fighter. But when he was being held back by two roadies and he's spitting and calling me a dirty little cunt and hits me with his guitar I become angry. And I was forced to lay one on him. But it was only one... One punch was all Daltry needed, as it knocked Pete out. He was taken to hospital and reportedly suffered amnesia. The rift between the two men ran unchecked for two years before the pair showed any signs of burying their differences.''

Is it any wonder that some of the aforementioned unhappiness, might have been brought to bear by songwriter's inexorable quest for acceptance and understanding – especially from those around him? A trait, perhaps, profoundly influenced by Meher Baba, who in 1950 stated: 'We must lose ourselves in order to find ourselves.'

Lest it be said that Townshend has adhered to the above dictum for much of his adult life; the manifestation of which, has been some of the most influential, cathartic and thankfully, violent rock'n'roll ever written and performed: As Jon Landau (now Bruce Springsteen's manager) wrote in 1967: ''They're sharp sarcastic, cynical, but never weighed down with their own self-importance. They are a life-force on a rock scene in which too many people are hiding behind facile, slogan songs about how all the world needs is for everyone to love everyone else [...] The Who don't pretend. Their music is them and they don't have to defend it by coming on too arrogantly, or freaky, within the context of the music itself. They say what they have to say in a manner that is perfectly natural for them, and therein lies their magic and their charm. We would all do well to listen, and to learn.''

And we would all do well to read this book, even if only to momentarily understand the true meaning of artistry (through anguish), as opposed to appalling artistry (through stars in their thighs).

The book is targeted towards the young adult crowd, so much of the book is spent examining the relationships of Meg Pryor. She must choose between her college boyfriend who wants to date other girls, or her brother's best friend, lost because is brother is MIA in Vietnam, a place where Meg's brother JJ will soon be headed. The book also covers a lot of fashion and family relationships as well.

While this particular story did not take place in the actual series run of the show, this book still explores all the best elements of the show. There are multiple references to all the stars of the time including the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and of course there is an appearance by Bob Dylan, who is well connected with Roxanne's father's new girlfriend. And while there are very few appearances by the rest of the Pryor family, Meg does get herself into a few spots where only family can help.

At just under 200 pages, this is a very quick read, but is a book that is highly recommended to all youngsters who loved American Dreams or who just love to read about other teens from a different era. Pick it up for a beach read and you'll probably finish it in a couple of hours.

I was obese and some of my children would constantly remind me about my obesity, as if I didn't know about it, and not give my character a simple HELLO. My character took quite a beating, as a result. Satan suggested Mr. Dude to be a lesbian and put him in a male body. Mr. Dude hated his body and wanted to end this experience on several occasions but, he chose to be his own HERO by suggesting his spirit before this experience began to start from today, at times he had to start from ONE MOMENT IN TIME. I was his glee club! I would remind Mr. Dude to HANG ON SLOOPY! Satan wanted him to be BAD TO THE BONE, because, his good nature was sickening to Satan but, he was TUFF ENOUGH to weather Satan's STORMY WEATHER. It was a very difficult decision, but, Mr. Dude finally decided to stop KUNG-FU FIGHTING and just observe Satan and vowed to himself to keep TIME IN A BOTTLE. He knew that SOMEDAY, SOMEWHERE, that his time spent on the HIGHWAY TO HELL was going to create THE END OF THE ROAD for hell to exist!

I didn't TELL HIM any of this. Mr. Dude had asked the Father to bless him with an absolutely amazing analytical mind.

He determined that a SMILE is like a contagious disease, in that EVERYDAY PEOPLE will, unconsciously, do what they see and in improving his game of bowling, he found that he had stopped smiling to the onlookers and more importantly at the MAN IN THE MIRROR.

He found himself expecting notoriety from onlookers and had lost RESPECT in his character as a consequence.

He found himself not respecting the environment, either. He found that he was taking the environment for granted and that he would TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT. He entertained the thought, ‘I am ALL BY MYSELF,' despite his experiencing life with all PEOPLE of every race, creed, color, personality, size and shape at the bowling center.

He calls his research of Will, ‘stupidiology,‘ and the consequences of Will, ‘stupidiacracy,' and found ON A CLEAR DAY that COME RAIN, COME SHINE, THE HAPPENING of stupidiacracy wasn't happening once in a BLUE MOON but, almost everyday at the bowling center.

Mr. Dude told me that THESE EYES saw the disrespect of the environment in almost everyone. He also told me that he saw that everyone that had chosen to disrespect the environment had TEMPTATION EYES and those people rarely activated their sense of logic, commonly referred to as common sense. This told him that Satan had suggested Will into an EVE OF DESTRUCTION.

He determined that all of us had fallen victim to the enemy within. The enemy to Mr. Dude is the angel that was appointed by the father to test Will. The angel is known to some as Satan. Mr. Dude calls him the DEVIL WITH THE BLUE DRESS ON.

I agree with Mr. Dude about Satan being the root of everything that's evil. EVEN NOW, after 25,000 years, I still see much violence in video games, cartoons and children's stories.

My FRIENDS, I am Mr. Dude and I have analyzed that WE ARE THE WORLD and together we must learn to HEAL THE WORLD.

I was suggested by Satan to only activate my sense of self but, I didn't listen to him. I decided to LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT provided me with a lot of the HELP I needed to have Satan dig his grave, instead of, our digging our grave.

In my MEMORY, thanks to JESUS, I found myself learning to hate and I found that LOVE'S IN NEED OF LOVE TODAY and WITHOUT LOVE today there will be no SUNSHINE TOMORROW.

I had some of you write songs to send a message. I WRITE THE SONGS, so, LISTEN TO THE MUSIC to get rid of the BALL OF CONFUSION that you are all living with.

I have listened to many pleas for help from the physical world. The PEOPLE of Earth created an EARTH SONG. They asked that HEAVEN HELP US ALL and to GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. They also asked, WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

My fellow humans, I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU that I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU and I am also here to answer YOUR SONG. MERCY, MERCY, MERCY I have heard enough!

I am the man and you are the woman and WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN he is SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED and poised to HELP togetherness bloom like a ROSE.

UNITED WE STAND, divided, we will not exist!

I'M TELLING YOU NOW that there can be no more separation between you!

Leaders of the world, I AINT TO PROUD TO BEG for you to give POWER TO THE PEOPLE, because, WE ARE FAMILY!

I knew that FROM A DISTANCE the spiritual world couldn't possibly know WHAT'S GOING ON! I asked JESUS for me to be the SHINING STAR to all the spirits now trapped in heaven to finally GIVE PEACE A CHANCE to exist!

AMERICA I chose you to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

In my conversations with JESUS A WONDERFUL CHILD I learned that FREEDOM of expression was non-existent on any of the 3 planets in the universe left that still have an ozone layer. IT'S UP TO YOU! My fellow humans we are THE BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS that will lead the entire universe in a universal CELEBRATION!

WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN to give life a chance to dance again and to BEGINE THE BEGUINE to be STRANGERS IN PARADISE you have to GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!

I have determined that any SUPERSTITION made YESTERDAY teaches children that there are fish in the pond but TOMORROW, meaning them, will not exist there.

I have determined that The CHILDREN OF SANCHEZ learn to give their spirits no value due to the constant defense against it by today.

The future learns to focus on their BODY LANGUAGE, they spend multi-billions of dollars on adorning their flesh with value, cosmetics, fashion, and jewelry without the slightest idea why.

I have determined that as a consequence some of the spirits choose to give little value to their character, dignity, and integrity. The consequences to that are very little attention given to all spirits' health, education and welfare, so, to waste time on your body is to SUFFER THE INNOCENT spirits of every living creature. I must TELL IT LIKE IT IS in reality to convince the spirits that life isn't about the temple of the spirit, man, life is about the spirit, period!

I have determined that the spirits' also waste time improving on methods to kill. Terrorism, WAR and the depletion of the ozone layer are all consequences in the spirits' choice to not believe in their spirit.

I BELIEVE that the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM of FREEDOM from Satan's tests of will can be achieved by the spirits' becoming aware of Satan's tests in their conscious minds and when their experience in their body host for this experience reaches the END OF THE ROAD. Every spirit, in knowing about Satan, will choose to be BORN FREE of Satan's suggestions of oppression and so called, 'natural disasters.'

I have determined that famine, ‘domestic violence,' earthquakes, hurricanes, murder, terrorism, tidal waves, tornadoes, tsunami's, typhoons and War are all man-made.

The words, "natural‘ and ‘disaster,‘ are like, the words, 'free' and ‘will,‘ WE BELONG TOGETHER but they don't!

I have determined that AMERICA is GOING ‘ROUND IN CIRCLES and becoming a BALL OF CONFUSION listening to her unconscious mind.

My CHILDREN OF SANCHEZ Satan never suggests HONESTY, RESPECT, LOVE, or sharing between you and in order for life to continue, Will must consciously choose everybody's will, including their own, as their FRIENDS and ally's to continue STAYING ALIVE!

I ask that all citizen's of Earth stop calling land promised when they are living on it and choose to SHARE THE LAND by choosing a NEW ATTITUDE!

I ask that all citizens of Earth admit that they will be ALONE AT LAST when they accept the fact that Satan, the enemy within, is in the unconscious mind.

I have determined that WE ARE THE WORLD and their AINT NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH, once we choose to GET TOGETHER, that we can't move!

My family, yes, WE ARE FAMILY, LET'S GET IT ON, LET'S WORK TOGETHER and LET'S STAY TOGETHER!

PEOPLE GOT TO BE FREE of suffering and PEOPLE I have observed that YOU HAVEN‘T DONE NOTHING but sit and wait, for what? The dock was created but SITTIN‘ ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY is choosing to be a DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS and SUNSHINE will not appear TOMORROW, eventually, unless and until you decide to GET ON YOUR FEET and be our HERO!

Granted this MESS OF BLUES was not your fault but, waiting for the CLEAN-UP WOMAN, is stupidiacracy! Your feet belong to you, man!

COMING OUT OF THE DARK is up to you. You own your feet not me. The Father creates stuff to exist but, not everything was meant to be chosen to exist!

To continue MY LOVE you must say to you that YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND and I must admit that YOU ARE MY FRIEND, regardless if you choose to believe me or not.

I have AMAZING GRACE but, choosing to live YESTERDAY, ONCE MORE, WITHOUT LOVE, forces me to live WITHOUT YOU LIVING IN AMERICA or any other country, including the entire universe!!!

I cannot do anything to stop Satan without your combined conscious Will.

I am a disabled man. I'm 52 and I'm a veteran in the WAR against Satan. I know that LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING, BECAUSE, the love between you is the BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS over the RIVER OF NO RETURN and there AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH that your choice to be FRIENDS with each other can‘t move. I know, because I did it by being a human without HOT LEGS and without being a God!

I have determined that the answer that's been BLOWING IN THE WIND is LOVE.

We are the CHILDREN OF SANCHEZ and we must choose to be ONE nation and when we all GET TOGETHER, Satan will do all the CRYING not US.

I WISH for all atrocity to STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE!

In CELEBRATION of continuing the CIRCLE OF LIFE, I, in advance, can tell you that WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

He becomes more instinctual as he senses his need to protect his newfound source of wealth from the ravenous eyes of the doctor and envious villagers. In both cases man becomes more of a beast especially when faced with an external environment outside of his control.

There are distinctions between who has the ability to reflect stoically as Ralph does in Lord of the Flies when he takes it upon himself to discover their whereabouts and Kino who is more instinctive following the inclinations on getting to The Pearl by listening to the "Music of the Undersea".

There, Steinbeck is more metaphorical by using references to music where no real music is heard except in the head of Kino. There are social differences between the educated children's group that gets marooned on an island and tries initially to keep their civilized appearances and the life of Kino characterized by social oppression having limited resources and few outlets to improving his lifestyle.

Again metaphors are use in The Pearl to describe certain attitudes present in the culture depicted by the author, like the "poison sacs" of the town which was taken in reference to the nascent ability of the townspeople to weave wicked tales about how Kino got The Pearl and how would using it. Metaphors would repeat themselves as a music of The Pearl, or music of evil where the search for something supposedly beneficial would end up being the source of problems for Kino and his family.

Ralph, Piggy and the other have other needs unlike Kino, that is primarily to survive and to get help. They were after all on an island away from the safety of their homes whereas Kino once had the safety of his home, which was rudely disturbed by thieves in the night forcing him eventually to escape. It was not apparent that the boys Lord of the Flies knew what their needs were in the beginning and the same could be said for Kino who was probably more trusting of his fellow man. The boys in Lord of the Flies probably thought that food would be readily accessible except for Piggy and perhaps some older boys at the beginning.

There was no need to escape the restriction of their social class as Kino felt. Then boys will be boys until they become men and so the reader sees a variety of character traits that can later be associated to being more manly and other like Piggy's early chattiness which is more childlike.

By splitting “a hundred pieces of fry bread to feed two hundred people,” Big Mom saves the reservation from a riot; moreover, she deters people from “fight[ing] for their piece of fry bread” and “jumping the surviving members of” Coyote Springs (301). In this depiction, Alexie relates Big Mom to Jesus, who, according to the Bible, “turn[s] one loaf of bread into a few thousand” (193). Moreover, Big Mom saves Coyote Springs from harm and the Spokane Indians attending the feast at Longhouse from resorting to wickedness. By illustrating her as the adversary of immorality, Sherman Alexie further verifies Big Mom as a savior and proponent of peace. In highlighting the similarities between both characters, Sherman Alexie reveals the guitar and Big Mom as messianic figures, who save people and encourage peace. Thus, Alexie portrays neither Robert Johnson's guitar nor Big Mom as the villain of Reservation Blues; rather, he stresses their incredible contributions to persons of the reservation. Ultimately, Alexie likens Big Mom to the guitar by showing them as mirrors of each other; consequently, he substantiates their roles as heroes in Reservation Blues.

One of the pros for audio books is the fact that they support multi-tasking, and can also be stored in to a small device for easy listening, like an iPod or MP3 Player. For example, you may listen to one and retrieve the information you would from a regular book, but doing so while exercising, cleaning around the house, or just while in the car driving. You would not be able to do any of those activities while reading a regular book. But while listening to an audio book it is possible.

There just so happens to be a con for that very same statement though putting down audio books. While it would be nice to be able to do other things while retrieving the information you want, it may also be distracting. Taking away some of your focus from listening to the audio book, causing you maybe to miss a few important key notes whilst you weren't paying too much attention, and instead getting caught up with your other activity. Or there may be too much noise around you, making it difficult to keep your attention on listening to the audio book. Though with a book, your ears wouldn't be needed, just your eyes.

Another pro supporting audio books, is the effect it has on children's learning structures. Teaching them to read has never been any easier, or enjoyable in their favor. By using different types of toys from likable cartoon characters to interact with audio books that children enjoy playing with, they are able to learn a usually difficult subject quite easily while enjoying it also. Such as the abilities to read, speak a new language, gain further knowledge in certain aspects, or just have a story read to them for the pure pleasure of it.

However, there is still yet another con to this. While it may help a lot in teaching children certain abilities, it may be unhealthy. For the reason that they may get too used to having the choice of listening to an audio book, rather than reading a real book for themselves. And throwing them off the idea of having to read for themselves so early in life may not be very wise.

My final pro supporting an audio book in this article will be the fact that a person who is unable to read due to certain problems they cannot help, such as blindness. While blind people may not be able read regular books due to their inability to see, they are certainly able to listen to audio books to gather the contents they may need from a regular book. So while there are a lot of cons to go against some of the pros for audio books, this is a major pro that is a big help to a lot of people around the world, which has no con to argue against it. This is it for my article on the pros and cons of audio books, I hope you enjoyed it.
