While reading “My First Conk”‚ written by Malcolm X‚ many thoughts came to mind. It is truly astonishing how a human being will withhold an immense amount of pain just to create a new personal appearance. In this case‚ pain really is beauty! Malcolm wished for a different look to represent him in a positive way.

PLEASURE IS ALL THAT MATTERS Roger Crisp Roger Crisp asks whether hedonism is quite as bad as is often supposed. Hedonism’s decline Since the beginning of philosophy‚ many people have thought that the only thing really worth seeking in life is pleasure‚ and that the only thing really worth avoiding is pain.

Maybe it is Hester Prynne that is the problem. She is the evil influence that is taking the last little bit of life he has left. I am ashamed to think that I was even minutely involved with her many years ago. I used to be a good man but our terrible marriage corrupted me. All I have left is Mr. Dimmesdale

what to expect your first day at a new college. You never quite know the people you’ll meet‚ or the overall vibe of the other students. I came to National Park College as a 28 year old. Recognizing that I’d more than likely be one of the oldest students in my classes‚ I didn’t really know how or if I would relate to the younger students (mostly 18 to 22 year olds). Would there be any commonality between myself and students around a decade younger? I’d soon find out. The first day of my Composition
