advance. There are two types of Macular
Degeneration. Juvenile Macular Degeneration

MOON ECLIPSE Tonight there is moon eclipse.
Tonight is as long and as full of yearning like
every other night, since my father is gone. I am
hearing the voices from a distance. It is getting
harder as time passes by to remember; the faces,
names, memories and distances. I am really far,
but I am there. My hands are still empty. Life
consists of millions of little pictures in my
head; sad, happy, eventful and maybe empty. There
is so much to live, taste, talk share with my
father. Yet he is gone....

Touch With Reality Mental Illness
1,460 words
It is my intention in this paper to build on the
idea put forward by Thomas Seas that mental
illness is, in fact, a myth. Labelling theorists
such as Goffman believe that the label "insane" to
a person may represent an important stage in the
process if becoming mentally ill. It is my opinion
that as labels of madness are so much a part of
our everyday language, their use has a big effect
not only on the individuals perception of
themselves, but on the cultural perception of
mental illness. These...

Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain

Huckleberry Finn A Racist Novel? There is a major
argument among literary critics whether The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is
or is not a racist novel. The question focuses on
the depiction of Jim, the black slave, and the way
he is treated by Huck and other characters. The
use of the word nigger is also a point raised by
some critics, who feel that Twain uses the word
too often and too loosely. Mark Twain never
