Who remembers watching a television show entitled 'All in the Family' that was all about in a lot of ways social and political discourse of the early 1970's the affected the family at 704 Houser Street. There was Archie, Edith, Gloria, and Michael aka Meathead. 'All in the Family' was created by Norman Lear that gave the television audience a chance to see and hear and learn how society wanted to stay the same but also wanted change in many ways, such as women's rights, dealing with welfare and racial relations. This was a television show that let the idea of conservativism and radicalism kind of live together for at least a half an hour. To me this was a comedy/drama but not like today's standards. There were also multiple shows that followed this one.

The Bad Beginning
Who are the Baudelaire's? Lemony Snicket has written a series of novels that are quite depressing and he warns the readers that if you do not like reading books that sad and mean things happen put the book down. In this series entitled 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' Violet, Klaus and Sunny will stay with a series of odd people with one very despicable person known as Count Olaf that seems to be always in the wind. Book one titled 'The Bad Beginning' the Baudelaire children learn about the disaster that took their parents' lives and put their children in the care of others, and each child has a specific talent that helps gets them these unfortunate events one way or another. At the end of each book Lemony Snicket writes a letter as an introduction to the next volume. All the illustrations are drawn as pencil sketches but are well-defined and describes some of the actions of the story.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The African Diaspora and History of Rhetoric: Learning to Learn
When studying the history of rhetoric, many groups were excluded from participating in power and were used, abused, and written off as inferior. Even today African nations have not recovered from being exploited by European powers.

"Stifle, Edith, Stifle...." One of my all-time favorite sitcoms. Norman Lear was a genius of comedy.
