‘Why not

take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back,
throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?
We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say
put out again on good salt water!'

Ah,

no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends.

50 POINTS ! JII 171 Unit Activity: The Mid- to Late Twentieth Century: Postmodernism Task 1 Print Preparing a Presentation In this task, you will make a 5- to 10 minute presentation on a topic related to this course unit. Part A Choosing a Topic To begin preparing a presentation, start by considering the topic. For this activity, you will select any topic connected to this unit and create a persuasive presentation.

Read the excerpt from "Homesick Blues."

Do you want to know what turned out to be the last straw for me? I was walking down to the corner delicatessen one day, and a man asked me for two dollars. He said he needed it for bus fare to get to the hospital to visit his mother who was dying. I told him I didn't have any cash, although I was holding $12.00 in my back pocket. The truth was that I didn’t believe him. I thought he was lying to me because I'd heard so many lies here and because this same man had told me the same story before, and if his mother has been dying that long she should be in a medical journal, and because I am tired of it.


Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me. The poor guy was worse off than me and all he wanted was two lousy dollars. When had I become so jaded, so suspicious, so calloused? I don't like that part of me, and I don’t like the city that has brought it out for me to see.

Which sentence best shows a conflict between an individual and society?

-Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me.

Was Einstein a Space Alien?


Modern pop culture paints scientist Albert Einstein as a bushy-haired superthinker. His ideas, we’re told, were improbably far ahead of other scientists. He must have come from some other planet—maybe the same one that scientist Isaac Newton grew up on.


“Einstein was no space alien,” laughs Harvard University physicist and science historian Peter Galison. “He was a man of his time.” All of his 1905 papers unraveled problems being worked on, with mixed success, by other scientists. “If Einstein hadn’t been born, [those papers] would have been written in some form, eventually, by others,” Galison believes.


What’s remarkable about 1905 is that a single person authored all five papers, plus the original, irreverent way Einstein came to his conclusions.
