MUSC137 09/30/2013 Jazz Performance Nina Simone I was not able to attend a live jazz performance due to my work schedule‚ so instead I watched a performance of my favorite jazz artist Nina Simone on Youtube.

Identify and assess the main strengths and weaknesses of Simone de Beauvoir’s book‚ The Second Sex.

Stevenson using ideas discussed in ‘The Second Sex’ by Simone de Beauvoir. The concept of Simone de Beauvoir’s myth of women discussed in ‘The Second Sex’ was still very much prevalent in the 1960s when ‘To Room nineteen’ was set and certainly at the time of ‘Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’.

Someone once told me that life is not always fair; that some days are better than others are. Men do not care for this rule and we want everyday to be great‚ perfect and full of joy; but deep down we know it cannot be. We refuse to accept the unfairness of life though; we resist in our own unique ways to every bad thing that happens in our lives.
