MY FAREWELL SPEECH – 1994/95 Principal Sir‚ my loving teachers‚ and my fellow Tenacians: Words don’t come easy to me when it comes to speaking on an occasion like this.

According to New York Time’s Review‚ the film Captain Blood “provided a properly picturesque background for Dr. Blood’s piratical career‚ as the Warner Brothers skillfully reconstruct the England of the sanguinary Monmouth uprising‚ the West Indies of tortured slaves and savage masters‚ and the ships that sailed the Spanish Main flying the jolly roger”. On the other hand‚ a masculine and heroic protagonist along side with a beautiful and delicate love interest is definitely an iconography of adventure

Section 4: The role of science to explain consciousness When I see my dog and my cat‚ I realize how differently they behave – I think the cat is somehow more mysterious –‚ but how I could know that they have inner states? Likewise‚ people have different behaviours: if they are at a football match they behave differently than in an art gallery. We suppose that they have different inner states‚ but how do we know this?

Despite the fury of their enemy’s attack‚ Captain Minetos’s 1st company was in good shape. The Raiders in front of us had suffered a fearsome toll from our archers.
