shortly after he wakes, the column halts again at
the fall of night. He finds that Bonello has given
two engineer sergeants that were left to bomb a

To this day I agonize that I should have done more
to help her, but I could not do anymore. My
position would not allow any additional
jurisprudence than what had already been evinced.

father, but I could do nothing about it. It would

greatest soldiers. He was a brave and dedicated
commander who fought valiantly in World War One
and achieved mythic stature among the armies of
World War Two, and those who didnt know of him
quickly learned of his amazing feats on the
battlefield. And much like Yamamotto of Japan he
knew Germany was going to lose the war but fought
the battles all the same. Sadly though his life
would never see peace because he died in 1944 with
accusations of cons...

Do you think a rat should have the right to go up

right activists are fighting for. They say give
animals the rights they deserve. The truth is if
we give animals rights, we will be putting them on
the same level as the human race. I know that I do
not want to be on the same level as a rat. Animals

water, and there are also many different ways we
can treat our water. Water is very important to
our survival. Regulations are set so that our
water is healthy for us to drink. Without those
regulations there could be things in our water to
cause us to be sick. Some problems in parts of the
country are heavy metals. One of the best ways to

Piece Play Learning

There have been countless hours when I sit with my
saxophone in my fingers, then unsure, as they
grasp each key in the tiresome effort of learning
a new audition piece. At those times, all I do is
stare despairingly at the long road of practicing,
which faces me. The slow progression to a finished
piece seems unmanageable and my only wish is that
I could just play and play as naturally as I
breathe. I wish the piece would just flow from my
arms, to my hands, to my fingers, and then to the

it begs a discussion more serious than that of the

come and go, discussing the great artist only
superficially, and Prufrock addresses the ladies

then decides to switch back to this other, more
beautiful world, and he describes the fog rubbing
up against the windowpanes. He describes the fog
almost as if it were an animal; personifying it

tired, full of energy, and hungry. A person's
state of consciousness and awareness varies

simply explains our daily highs and lows. An

Prisoners of waterlandPeacetime by Robert Edric
357 pp, Doubleday Robert Edric (a pseudonym of
Gary Edric Armitage) has not received the
recognition he deserves. His novels are written in
a glacial, dispassionate prose that eschews
histrionics. They cover a range of historical
subjects, from infanticide in the Belgian Congo to
doomed Arctic exploration, and have an enchanted
clarity all their own. Peacetime, Edric's 12 th
novel, is a sombre parable of conscience, in which
the characters are skew...
