Pay Attention Real Life

The best way to understand why we have nightmares
is to think of them as an early warning system or
an alarm that alerts us that something is wrong in
our lives and is hurting us. We need to focus our
attention on the dream, and fix the problems so we
can overcome them and clear our mind. Being human,
we do not always pay attention to the subtle hints
or little nudges that tell us that we need to
change something. We keep procrastinating instead
of working out the problems, or we are so

Many humans use animals for testing each year.
Animal testing is when the animals are put through
something or injected to see how they react to
what medical research they have been used for.
There are three very important reasons why animals
should not be used for testing harmful or
dangerous materials. One of these is that testing
and its use is trivial in the cosmetic industry.
The second reason is that animals have rights and
animals can feel pleasure and pain just as humans
do. The third re...

Your 18 th birthday is one of the most important
birthdays. You are finally of legal age to get a
tattoo or a body piercing. The difficult question
you now face is which one do you choose? You would

Kansas City Star Ernest Hemingway

Many of the titles of Ernest Hemingway's stories
are ironic, and can be read on a number of levels;
Soldier's Home is no exception. Our first
impression, having read the title only, is that
this story will be about a old soldier living out
the remainder of his life in an institution where
veterans go to die. We soon find out that the
story has nothing to do with the elderly, or
institutions; rather, it tells the story of a
young man, Harold Krebs, only recently returned
from World War I, who has...
