... a society that strives for perfection but in the end will never reach there goal, not because they can't, just because it's not possible. The saying a "city on a hill" came from the Puritan leader John Winthrop. John Winthrop wanted to create a society with no flaws that everyone would look up to. They thought that all they needed to create their perfect society was hard ... society was the cause of most of their problems.

I can feel the gentle nip of the whispering wind upon my cheek. Forest sounds sing a comforting lullaby when I walk on the bed of leaves beneath me. I can hear the trickle of water as I draw near the stream. I can feel the sunshine kiss my face as it seeps through the fingers of the braches above. Occasionally, I"ll hear the quick movement of scampering animals in the brush. In a quick flash they have disappeared into the beautiful camouflage of their w...

Plato realizes that this method of getting what you want is possible, depending on the size of t...
Disco Crowd I would have belonged to the "disco crowd", because the rhythm is energizing and simply ear friendly. The environment in which disco is played is unreal with its disco balls and lights like an outer space feeling. Disco has a magical way to make you feel good about yourself. It can make you feel sexy, when wearing those totally sparkly and flashy colors with ridiculous high boots that adds a little color to life; the kind of clothes and free attitude that I don't wear in my everyday life. Disco is easy to listen to. It is not a music that makes you reflect on life's struggles or th...
The Pine Barrens John Mcphee's "The Pine Barrens" is a unique descriptive novel, the novel deals with nature and all it's beauty. The story is easy to follow and easy to understand because it is being told through the eyes of a non-partial naturist. The novel was intriguing because it was so relatable to Philadelphia, the fact that the actually Pine Barrens are only about fifty miles away meant that whatever Mcphee experienced throughout the book was not far fetched form what I"d experience. The proximity on which Mcphee relates the Barrens to New York City meant that I've been past that value...
