Buddha Boy Chapter 1 Summary
In the start of chapter ten of Buddha Boy it starts pretty normal at Jinsen’s house. Justin was at Jinsen’s and Jinsen at school has recently been punched in the jaw. Then Jinsen’s great aunt, Lily comes in and Jinsen tells Justin to wait for him in his room. Where Justin overhears Jinsen and his aunt talking for a bit. Then Jinsen comes in and reveals his past. So we learn about Jinsen’s past and how he was bully himself then he met Kim, an art teacher, which changed Jinsen.

I found this chapter one of the most surprising. For example, we learn about Jinsen’s horrid past. I think this really affected Justin’s view on Jinsen. I believe Justin doesn’t really believe Jinsen but I assume Justin will stay friends with Jinsen and eventually

    Ahimsa is the belief of nonviolence, which Buddhism justifies by reminding followers that all life experience suffering and additional pain is not needed in this world. Also, Buddhism teaches the belief in the cycle of rebirth, however, without a belief in a soul; Buddhists believe it is the parts of the individual’s personality that reform in the new life. Finally, Buddhism teaches followers about nirvana granting release from the cycle of rebirth. Nirvana is a state of bliss without pain, and liberation from the cycle of rebirth and Buddhists believe that it can be obtained within one’s lifetime, rather than at death (Molloy,…

Hey isn't that one of the great rock bands of the early nineties? Right? In this paper, I will explain who the Buddha was and the deep meaning of the message that Prince Guatama preached.…

    Two Views Of Mississippi

    In "Two Views of the Mississippi" by Mark Twain, the author recounts his ability to recognize and appreciate beauty in his surroundings early in his career as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, in contrast to his perceptions later in life. He recalls a specific sunset journey where he is able to revel in the brilliance of the river surrounding him, taking note of the small details including the distant golden glow of the water; the simple, yet remarkable passing singularities; and the darkened, crowded shore. Later, he reflects on how his internal dialogue would differ if he were to experience that same voyage again many years later. The beauty he so easily appreciated in his novice years, would most likely go unnoticed; instead, the sum total of his experience and wealth of knowledge would shed a new light on the meanings of the individual spectacles, causing him to understand them in a more practical way; as warnings of the dangers ahead. He likened this shift in mentality to what he believes a medical doctor must experience when examining the human body. After awhile, he assumes that a doctor would be unable to appreciate the body's separate enchanting characteristics, and instead only see markers pointing to the eventual "decay'' the form is destined to. In his conclusion, Mark Twain questions whether the knowledge accumulated in the practice of a profession is worth the loss of being able to cherish the artistry and poetic wonders in our lives.…
