“I don’t see color,” run rampant throughout modern society

According to Lorde, some women seek to ascend from their oppression by trying to appease the patriarchy that has become so institutionalized in society.

And, by doing this, many white women see “a way out.” They see ways in which they can please the patriarchy, and maybe, just maybe, be of enough merit to hover somewhere near the highest rank’s spot on the social pyramid.

Audre Lorde does not want all women to simply band together as women; she wants a revolution that fights for equality within every facet of oppression

The hierarchy of society becomes etched into our minds, and this process begins at a young age.

What may be a struggle for a black lesbian woman greatly differs from the daily struggle encountered by a white heterosexual woman.

She is satisfied when he is dead because, with Paula as the representation of her dark past, it means they had both (kind of) overcome the traumatic situation that had been looming for some time.

These two things, Paco’s behavior and Freud’s statement, lead me to believe that because Raimunda was sexually abused by her father as a young woman, she subconsciously chooses another man who has the same abusive behaviors as her father.

but I really believe the crying is solely about what Paula went through. Without hesitation, she takes the blame for what happened to him, should anybody ask

This reveal really had me h*cked up, but once Mama spilled the beans to the audience, Raimunda’s role in the Paco situation definitely made a lot more sense

Therefore, we witness that the control of mental analysis is at least partially outside of the control of the individual having the thought

Stemming from the German language, the words “heimlich” and “unheimlich” reveal another aspect vital to understanding the uncanny

On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by        To many-tower'd Camelot; The yellow-leaved waterlily The green-sheathed daffodilly Tremble in the water chilly        Round about Shalott.

In the stormy east-wind straining, The pale yellow woods were waning, The broad stream in his banks complaining, Heavily the low sky raining

“Well,” said Eliza, mournfully, “I always thought that I must obey my master and mistress, or I couldn’t be a Christian.”

“Who made this man my master? That’s what I want to know!” he said.

but the more he sees I can do, the more he loads on. He says that though I don’t say anything, he sees I’ve got the devil in me, and he means to bring it out; and one of these days it will come out in a way that he won’t like, or I’m mistaken!”

I know more about business than he does; I am a better manager than he is; I can read better than he can; I can write a better hand,—and I’ve learned it all myself

“My master! and who made him my master? That’s what I think of—what right has he to me?

“Yes, Eliza, it’s all misery, misery, misery! My life is bitter as wormwood; the very life is burning out of me. I’m a poor, miserable, forlorn drudge; I shall only drag you down with me, that’s all. What’s the use of our trying to do anything, trying to know anything, trying to be anything? What’s the use of living? I wish I was dead!”

“I wish he’d never been born!” said George, bitterly. “I wish I’d never been born myself!”

During that period,—being much trusted and favored by his employer,—he had free liberty to come and go at discretion.

“But only think of his inventing this machine,” interposed one of the workmen, rather unluckily.

He was possessed of a handsome person and pleasing manners, and was a general favorite in the factory. Nevertheless, as this young man was in the eye of the law not a man, but a thing, all these superior qualifications were subject to the control of a vulgar, narrow-minded, tyrannical master

George Harris.

Mrs. Shelby, being entirely ignorant of her husband’s embarrassments, and knowing only the general kindliness of his temper, had been quite sincere in the entire incredulity with which she had met Eliza’s suspicions. In fact, she dismissed the matter from her mind, without a second thought; and being occupied in preparations for an evening visit, it passed out of her thoughts entirely.

Why, you silly child, who do you think would want to buy your Harry? Do you think all the world are set on him as you are, you goosie? Come, cheer up, and hook my dress. There now, put my back hair up in that pretty braid you learnt the other day, and don’t go listening at doors any more.”

“O! missis, missis,” said Eliza, “there’s been a trader talking with master in the parlor! I heard him.”

Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?’ And now it must come, for aught I see. And Eliza’s child, too! I know that I shall have some fuss with wife about that; and, for that matter, about Tom, too. So much for being in debt,—heigho! The fellow sees his advantage, and means to push it.”

disagreeable nature.

Every man, you know, Mr. Shelby, naturally thinks well of his own ways; and I think I treat niggers just about as well as it’s ever worth while to treat ’em.”

“Hurrah! bravo! what a young ’un!”

There was something in his appearance remarkably beautiful and engaging. His black hair, fine as floss silk, hung in glossy curls about his round, dimpled face, while a pair of large dark eyes, full of fire and softness, looked out from beneath the rich, long lashes, as he peered curiously into the apartment.

Poor fellow! he isn’t used to walking, and I’ve hurried him on so,” said Eliza.

for she felt the weight of her boy as if it had been a feather, and every flutter of fear seemed to increase the supernatural power that bore her on, while from her pale lips burst forth, in frequent ejaculations, the prayer to a Friend above—“Lord, help! Lord, save me!”

“I won’t be taken, Eliza; I’ll die first! I’ll be free, or I’ll die!”

“Yes, but who knows?—he may die—and then he may be sold to nobody knows who

“I always thought that I must obey my master and mistress, or I couldn’t be a Christian.”

“My master! and who made him my master? That’s what I think of—what right has he to me?

“I wish he’d never been born!” said George, bitterly. “I wish I’d never been born myself!”

No; there is another use that a man can be put to that is WORSE!

“We would be willing, sir, to increase the rate of compensation.”

Clear waste, sir, of a thousand dollars

These critters ain’t like white folks,

“No; I mean, really, Tom is a good, steady, sensible, pious fellow. He got religion at a camp-meeting, four years ago; and I believe he really did get it. I’ve trusted him, since then, with everything I have,—money, house, horses,—and let him come and go round the country; and I always found him true and square in everything.”

One of the parties, however, when critically examined, did not seem, strictly speaking, to come under the species. He was a short, thick-set man, with coarse, commonplace features, and that swaggering air of pretension which marks a low man who is trying to elbow his way upward in the world. He was much over-dressed, in a gaudy vest of many colors, a blue neckerchief, bedropped gayly with yellow spots, and arranged with a flaunting tie, quite in keeping with the general air of the man. His hands, large and coarse, were plentifully bedecked with rings; and he wore a heavy gold watch-chain, with a bundle of seals of portentous size, and a great variety of colors, attached to it,—which, in the ardor of conversation, he was in the habit of flourishing and jingling with evident satisfaction. His conversation was in free and easy defiance of Murray’s Grammar,* and was garnished at convenient intervals with various profane expressions, which not even the desire to be graphic in our account shall induce us to transcribe.

But when was the last time Stranger Things started a civil war?

Abraham Lincoln reportedly called Stowe ‘the little lady who made this great war.’”

the United States, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) isarguably the most powerful piece of conservation legislationthat aims to protect imperiled species and the habitats onwhich they depend. Nevertheless, plants andanimals receivedifferent protection under this law, dating back to a legal dis-tinction in England, which considered animals to be propertyof the king and plants to be property of the landowner

Prior to the development of agriculture, our ancestors were hunters and gatherers. They obtained food by hunting animals (a good source of protein and lipids) and by gathering fruits, vegetables, seeds, and leaves (sources of carbohydrates, vitamins, and energy). We humans are omnivores, eating both plants and animals as food.

As agriculture developed, it had profound impacts on human civilization.

THC have few prov-en negative effects. It is not addictive like nicotine, and there has never been a documented fatality from overdosing on either THC or Cannabis. Cultivation of Cannabis sativa has serious negative impacts on ecology, but mostly because it is illegal to grow it in regular farming areas.

Carpellate inflorescences and the nearby bracts are covered in a resin that has much higher levels of THC than occur in the resin on the male plants or other parts of the female plants.
