Just watched Frank Capra's 'It's A Wonderful Life' starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. This is the story of George Bailey and how he discovers that he has a wonderful life. George has his many disappointments through living his life from his childhood through adulthood, then he meets Clarence. This is a movie that makes me homesick for my hometown for it is set kind of where Jimmy Stewart was born and raised and I was born and raised just about approximately 25 miles south.

Anne Frank
I have read the novel of 'Anne Frank' many times from the standpoint of a high school student to a graduate student. The novel is a very poignant one that shows the reader how a young girl must grow up in a time of extreme hatred and living in very small areas. It is a very emotional read for anybody to try and fully understand what the characters had to live through in a difficult time in history.

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.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

I love Jimmy Stewart in all movies, and this one is no exception. Though not my favorite one of his or my favorite Christmas movie, it is well worth recognition and the watch.
