Have you ever felt as if your piano playing has become stagnant and is not improving no matter how much you practice? The answer may not be the amount of time you put in, but rather the strategy you use to practice properly.

I still remember when I was learning piano in my early years and the practice session seemed to be so boring and unproductive. I never went beyond what my piano teacher assigned. Each session would always be in the same order: scales, arpeggios, classi...

You just wouldn’t believe the trouble I had getting this column ‘on the air’. The proess wouldn’t have been so tedious if I weren’t so technically illiterate, but I am, make no mistake.Finally I found a webmaster who was willing to build a website for me without me taking out a bank loan.

I moved to Alabama the 4th of February after 23 years living in Florida to share living space with my adoptive family and their 6 dogs and my cat Jewely. I didn’t have any difficulty adjusting, especially after having lived alone for 6 years, but Jewely was a different story. She was not used to dogs much less people, and spent a lot of time under my bed clothes.

As I write this, though, she is well adjusted, sleeps either in a condo that “Aunt” Linda bought her, or on a sheepskin bed under the TV or in bed with me.

The Problem: One of the most difficult and important skills I teach to my Reading & Composition students is that of moving from descriptive writing (what amounts to plot summary in an English literature class) to analytic writing, to writing that communicates the student?s ideas rather than the studied author?s ideas. By the middle point of the semester, students for the most part have understood how to present a central argument for their papers, but they do not write in such a way that their argument pervades the essay assignment. Because composition teachers rely on a distinction between arguments and evidence, students often do not see how their evidence (the bulk of their essay) can be anything but descriptive, non-analytic, and transparently factual. For example, students often present characters? speech as communicating their own (the students?) ideas rather than the author?s: that ?Bill says ?x?? satisfies the student as an argument, presumably because they?ve selected out a useful sentence for quotation. Of course, finding suitable primary evidence for an argumentative thesis is itself a worthy achievement on the part of the student, but it is not the end to learning the essay form. Students can learn to use ?support? sentences as mini-arguments in themselves, ideally (though not necessarily) as mini-arguments that further the paper?s overall thesis.

This novel is very subjective and can been viewed in many ways as to whether this book should be accepted by the school board or not. Obviously looking directly at the content and to trying to determine whether this book caters to the students? desire is absolutely futile. To determine whether the novel?s content is acceptable to the reading of teenage students is very much a controversial issue. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the writing style and the content play an extreme role in determining whether this book is acceptable.

Her experiment in the Oprah Winfrey show in 1992 became world famous. Jane Elliott (62) carried out her brown eyes, blue eyes exercise, and a behaviour training that lets white people experience what prejudice and oppression does to you. What happens if you don?t have any power anymore and are subject to arbitrary discrimination, just cause you have blue eyes? During the international week against racism Jane Elliott came to Holland. Mercita Coronel spoke with her. ?Who told you to sit down?? "Do I have to spell everything out for you, sit!" One participant of Jane Elliott?s workshop walked out after one hour, another never returned from a quick trip to the bathroom?. Their blue eyes did them in. In Elliott?s world brown-eyed people form the majority and they have the power. Blueys are dumb, inferior, lazy and they steal. To emphasize their inferiority they have to wear a collar. For blueys the rules are always changing, at the mercy of the brown eyes. A blue eyed participant who walked out before attempts to get back in. Elliott is unrelenting, he?s out. In the real world people of colour can?t just step out. They don?t have a choice. They can?t take off their colour.
