Pot of Gold
Chorus:
Oh the spotlight is not for me
I close my eyes and imagine I'm home!
I miss the days when life was simple,
But if I never try to follow that rainbow
In search for the pot of gold!
Oh, oh, oh!
In search for the pot of gold!

... out there right now
About to have an extra...
Searching for a pot of gold like a lepricon,
They say death comes in three, two's next in line,
I lost a best friend for the second time.
Now I'm on the quest to find peace,
Still gotta carry my beefs... when its...
You don't understand, I'm misunderstood,
Get in the smoke two more albums, then I'm done for good.
Sold ten million records ain't mean the hood,
It's a cold world, everybody in the hood
And everybody doing time, staying here strong,
You still got a chance to let, even though you did wrong.

Chorus:
Oh the spotlight light is not for me
I close my eyes and imagine I'm home!
I miss the days when life was simple,
But if I never try to follow that rainbow
In search for the pot of gold!

Sometimes I try to do good,
But I just can't be!
It's hard to get myself to do things that ain't me.
You all should thank me,
But my haters try to send me home early,
But you came home to...
I ain't a saint, bee, I ain't gaga,
I ain't the angel leader but I try harder.
I'm like light for my soldiers at war,
I sit back and watch the ashes on my cigar fall.
... come home and...

Chorus:
Oh the spotlight is not for me
I close my eyes and imagine I'm home!
I miss the days when life was simple,
But if I never try to follow that rainbow
In search for the pot of gold!

Oh, see the thing about all of us,
We never know just what we find.

Chorus:
Oh the spotlight is not for me
I close my eyes and imagine I'm home!
I miss the days when life was simple,
But if I never try to follow that rainbow
In search for the pot of gold!
Yeah! in search for the pot of

    Busang - a River of Gold

    Bre-X Minerals Ltd. faced numerous challenges in 1996, largest among them being the potential loss of the majority stake in property that could yield upwards of 100 million ounces of gold. The Indonesian government was threatening to redistribute ownership of Busang, the mining region in which Bre-X had property rights, due to its fear that Bre-X was a short-term player not serious about extracting the gold or a long term commitment in Indonesia. These fears were justified given Bre-X’s small size (it had a net loss of $Cdn. 366,677 in 1995 compared to a net income of $Cdn. 218 million from Barrick Gold Corp., a potential government-corporate partner) and limited connections within the country (established only in 1993 by exploring in the East Kalimantan rainforest).…

    Salt of the Earth

    For movie audiences of the 21st century, it is difficult to imagine that there were ever movies produced that the Congress of the United States would officially ban. Modern audiences have become accustomed to attitudes, language, and stories that are political, graphic, violent, and more than just a little bit avant garde. Obviously, such was not the case in the blacklisting days of the 1950s! “Salt of the Earth” violated every aspect of the white, middle-America, conservative mindset of 1954. As a political statement, it demonstrated the inter-connection that exists between working class, feminist, environmental and Latino concerns, and yet it was denounced for its “communist overtones” and banned from the public until the late 1960s. It did receive a wide distribution throughout Europe where it was praised for the story, as well as the courage illustrated by its making. In fact, it won an award as the “Best Film Exhibited in France in 1955.” In the ultimate vindication for the movie and its makers, it is…

    Theme Of Nothing Gold Can Stay

    The theme of “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost, is that good or “gold” things don't last forever--life is always changing. The poem portrays this by talking about gold things like pretty gold leaves and a pretty gold sunset, both things that are temporary. Using words like “flower” and “eden”, along with the rhyming and words that just sound good together, make it sound beautiful, but using words like “subsidies” and “grief” makes it sound sad as well. This mixture of tragic beauty makes the reader really feel how sad and profound the ordeal of losing happiness is. Using the word “Eden” is an especially good choice, because it refers to the Garden of Eden which is from the Bible, where Adam and Eve used to chill before everything…

    According to BJ Epstein, Senior Lecturer in Literature and Public Engagement at the University of West Anglia, “books can serve as a first introduction to the outside world” (Epstein, 2017). In other words, exposing children to different genres of books helps expand their horizon by introducing them to different types of characters that reflect today’s society. So, literature plays an important role in providing children with the knowledge they need to be successful in the real world.…

    Nothing Gold Can Stay

    The title of the poem is metaphorical which, makes comparisons to the young and youth. Gold represents value and wealth. Therefore when it says “Nothing Gold Can Stay” it simply that nothing precious or of great value in the materialistic sense can stay forever. Gold symbolizes materialism, it would not last for long and it will give a false sense of security and happiness. Gold, which is money based, can take years to accumulate but can be washed away in a millisecond. On the other hand, things that have emotional and sentimental value cannot be bought with Gold and therefore will remain throughout one’s entire life.…

    On Gold Mountain

    On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family written by Lisa See is an inspirational narrative depicting her Chinese families experiences and struggles immigrating to the west coast of America during the 19th and 20th century. The author was effective in telling her families story. There were similarities and differences between the Fong family’s experiences and the Chinese community’s immigration experiences as a whole. Immigration to America was a phenomenon for Chinese people in the late 19th century in search of “Gold Mountain”. This was a term in Chinese culture to describe economic opportunity in the state of California after gold was found. The title of the book is a very appropriate metaphor for expressing Fong See’s determination and success in America in the sense of him conquering Gold Mountain. This paper will compare Fong See’s family’s immigrant experiences to that of the Chinese immigrant community collectively. Of focus will be the effects of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the significance of Chinese ethnic enclaves, the treatment and role of Chinese women within American culture, the difficulties that the Chinese immigrants had with assimilating to American culture, and the negative attitudes towards the Chinese on all levels in America. Analyzing Chinese assimilation and the negative attitudes towards the group will be done in the same section because of the similarities between the two themes. All of these themes will be compared to the experience of Fong See and his family in America.…

    Silver Linings Playbook

    I mostly agree with Ashley’s opinion, but I do not believe Silver Linings Playbook is a formalistic movie. This is not a formalistic movie because there are no distortions or manipulations of reality (Giannetti 7). Also, formalistic movies use highly manipulated images that they look so different from the real thing ( Giannetti 524). They want the manipulated images to look beautiful or attractive to the eye (Giannetti 524). Silver Linings Playbook does not use manipulated images because the images and scenes deal with realistic issues, settings, and shots. Silver Linings Playbook is a realistic movie because it focuses on the characters, plot, story, and content more than form and technique (formalism) (Giannetti 5). Furthermore, it is realistic…

    The Silver Mine

    "The Silver Mine" the story is about this group of people who find a mountain that has silver in it. They end up taking some of the silver to a mineralogist to see the value of the mineral and they find out that it is silver. Later some of the men end up dying because all the money is corrupting them. "The Silver Mine" is by, Selma Lagerlof who has won the Nobel Prize as the first women ever to receive the prize. An abundance of money that you have not earned can corrupt you. First of all this group ends up finding the silver and they take it to the mineralogist and they find out that they are going to be rich. "Let us see that you make such good use of this that it will prove a blessing both to yourself and to the country, for this is Silver" . This quote shows that they are going to be rich because of the silver that they have found according to the mineralogist. At first they never realized how rich they were going to be because they never new that the mineral that they found was actually silver. Also the money that they found they really didn't earn it. They just happened to stumble upon the silver and took it to the mineralogist just to see what it was. My next quote shows how the silver really wasn't there's and that they didn't actually own the silver. "He was thinking how wonderful it was that at home in his poor parish stood a whole mountain of silver ore, waiting for him" . The man new that the silver wasn't his and that he would end up being rich even though that they didn't earn the silver. Then in the end they money ends up corrupting these people and even results in death. The next quote is of a man who died as a result of the money and silver. "Last night he drove off, full as he was, and the wagon turned over and he was killed". This person the innkeeper died off being drunk. He claimed that he would never have to worry about anything anymore and that all he was going to do is drink alcohol. Having an abundance of money that you don't deserve…

    Golden Rice

    Global food security has been and still is a major concern in the world today. Millions of people die each year due to malnutrition and not having any food to eat, mainly in third-world countries. Over the last century, population growth has exploded and outgrown food production in many parts of the world, posing a great threat to the human race. To solve the issue of world famine, humans beings has been redesigning life ever since the domestication of the first plants. One notable example was the Green Revolution; during the last century scientists genetically modified wheat varieties to increase crop yield in countries suffering from famine, such as India, Pakistan, Philippines and more. Although this movement saved nearly a millions of lives, many people today are against implementing genetically modified food items as people are working due to environmental impacts that have occurred in the past and also because they believe we are working against nature.…

    An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow

    This poem, written by Les Murray, reflects upon all aspects of the human condition, from the fear of change to the need for conformity, uncovering the ultimate truth of the universal desire to belong. Set in a society which significantly resembles today’s world, where feelings and emotions are kept hidden and people are caught up in their busy lives, it explores the realms of acceptance and the ways in which societal norms shape a sense of self. Although not quite an easy read, with obscure meanings, the poem is capable of touching many hearts and evoking self-realisation.…
