Download or read book My Life in a Changing America written by William Elihu Palmer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book “My Life in a Changing America” is autobiographical and relates the episodes that changed my life. Rather than a time line of continuity, the book is divided into stories of events, people and unseen forces that were important at different times in the grand adventure of life and the pursuit of the American Dream. In my lifetime I was fortunate enough to go from growing up as a poor farm boy to traveling the world as an educator and a university professor. I have lived much of my life during the period of what might have been the Golden Age of America. As a youngster growing up in an isolated village in the middle of the peninsula that separates the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean, I had naively believed that I was invulnerable to the fates of others around me. Now at age 88, I have come to the realization that the adventure of life is much like the trajectory of a shooting star flashing across the night sky. No matter how high it may fly nor how bright the trail it leaves behind, it soon vanishes into the unseen depths of space and time. . I have written this autobiography to leave a trace of my shooting star.

Download or read book The Labyrinth of Life written by William Elihu Palmer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an example of the experiment of life. A life that is predestined before birth until its end. The choices we think we make aren’t free choices, but rather ones designed to direct us through The Labyrinth of Life. They aren’t choices at all, though the person making the choices may believe otherwise. William Elihu Palmer, in his 91st year of life, has the experience in which to reflect upon, not only the direction of his life, but his life at the present time. He’s concluded that all his life has been in a labyrinth. Not sure how he got in, where he was going on, or how he’ll get out. All of it predetermined before he was born.

Book excerpt: [Siren Menage Amour ManLove: Erotic Romance, Alternative, Paranormal/Shifters, Magic, Fae, Fantasy, MMM, HEA] Marylou, a guiding fate, didn’t say why Qismat needed to go to Milson Valley, just that it was important he did. It wasn’t a wasted trip. Qis encountered not one mate, but two. Lawson Armstrong, a part human, part wizard with a soft heart and sweet tooth, and Desta Moon, a relaxed, creative wild dog shifter. Desta Moon was not averse to having a mate, and certainly not Qismat and Lawson. He preferred to go at his pace. He’d never really thought about a mate and he wasn’t a planner. Qismat had expectations that completely disrupted Des and within a short time, there was a wide disconnect between them. From the moment Lawson Armstrong learned there was really such a thing as a soul mate, he wanted one. Two was even better! While Qis and Des were at odds, Lawson got to know his mates and decided how to bring them all together, and into his bed.

Download or read book Tragedy written by John Drakakis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging and unique collection of documents on one of the most enduring of literary genres, Tragedy, offers a radical revaluation of its significance in the light of the critical attention that it has received during the past one-hundred and fifty years. The foundations of much contemporary thinking about Tragedy are to be found in the writings of Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard; in addition, the dialectical tradition emanating from Marxism, and the psycho-analytical writings of Freud, have extended significantly the horizons of the subject. With the explosion of interest in the areas of post-structuralism, sociology of culture, social anthropology, feminism, deconstruction, and the study of ritual, new questions are being asked about this persistent artistic exploration of human experience. This book seeks to represent a full selection of these divergent interests, in a series of substantial extracts which display the continuing richness of the debate about a genre which has provoked, and challenged categorical discussion since the appearance of Aristotle's Poetics.
