Quote that illustrates the theme people do not favor traditional education methods, which have no freedom.?

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:01:25 +0000

I need to find a quote that is about the ideas of "When I head the learn’d astronomer" by Walt Whitman and "Have you ever hurt about baskets" by Marylit Altaha. My thesis is that the authors use personification and imagery to depict the theme that people favor learning differently from traditional methods. If you are able to, please help me find a quote relating to this thesis not located in any of the poems. I am looking for this also, but have had no success so far.

Yahoo will have plenty of sites on non-traditional education from which you can choose your own quotes.

what’s your opinion on this 1776 quote from Thomas Day regarding the founding fathers and freedom from Tyranny?

admin — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 09:09:31 +0000

“If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature”, “it is an American patriot, signing resolutions of independency with the one hand, and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves.”

–Thomas Day, on the hypocrisy of American "freedom fighters"
@Josh: that’s a cop-out, it was still slavery, and still hypocritical.

Hypocracy has always been at the root of America.

How accurate is this quote from a blogger concerning religious freedom?

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 23:34:59 +0000

"In order to have freedom of religion there must also be freedom from religion. The only way an individual can have the freedom to follow one religion is to be free from following all of the others." – Jaime Delgado

It sounds pretty spot on to me. If not, why not?

Interesting! It doesn’t quite apply to my family, however.

I was raised Jewish, and am still a practicing Jew. My husband was raised Lutheran and is still a practicing Lutheran. His Mom was Catholic, and one of his sisters is also a practicing Catholic.

We actually go, on a regular basis, to worship together, at a Catholic Church, a Lutheran Church and a Jewish Synagogue.

Our daughter is being exposed to everything, with the knowledge that she will worship in whatever way makes sense to her when she grows up.

As a Jew, I feel very welcome and comfortable in the Catholic and Lutheran Churches. Similarly, my husband feels very welcome and comfortable at the Synagogue.

Our daughter feels comfortable everywhere, and knows that God is wherever you look for Him.

Quotes on Freedom from to kill a mockingbird?

ok…im looking for some quotes throughout the book that are related to freedom…anyone notice any of those kinds of quotes in there?

Atticus Finch
-The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.

-The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it – whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.

Miss Gates
-Persecution comes from people who are prejudiced.

i have to explain wteh meaning of the quote "freedom isnt free"…what does it mean?

It means it’s a curve ball. As in ‘ disingenous ‘.

What is a good quote from the bible referencing freedom to all people? (NEEDS TO BE IN THE OLD TESTIMENT)?

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:28:04 +0000

The word freedom appears only once in the Old Testament (Lev. 19:20), where the application is limited.

The central theme of the book of Exodus is "Let my people go!" (Ex. 5:1), a phrase which was to resonate with the civil rights movement in the United States. To the extent that "Let my people go!" means that slavery is unacceptable, it is a universal statement wherever people are oppressed.

Psalm 146:7 says: "Which [the LORD] executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners."

In Isaiah 58:6, the prophet, who has no use for ritual fasts, describes the fast that is pleasing to the LORD: "Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke."

How would you interpret this quote: "I am chained to the earth, to pay for the freedom of my eyes."?

I read this quote and it haunts me, but I don’t quite get what it means.
I’d appreciate some feedback.

I think it means we are bound by our pre-misconceptions of things, like we are help back by our prejudice of others.

Or a deeper meaning would be a reference to enlightenment that we need to let go of our senses to become free spirited…

I dunno my question is about enlightenment so maybe I just have it on the mind!

Hope I helped…
