Wednesday, january 21, 1993 1 today we celebrate the mystery of american renewal. this ceremony is held in the depth of winter. but, by the words we speak and the faces we show the world, we force the spring. a spring reborn in the world’s oldest democracy, that brings forth the vision and courage to reinvent america. 2 when our founders boldly declared america’s independence to the world and our purposes to the almighty, they knew that america, to endure, would have to change. not change for change’s sake, but change to preserve america’s ideals—life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. each generation of americans must define what it means to be an american. 3 on behalf of our nation, i salute my predecessor, president bush, for his half-century of service to america. and i the millions of men and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over depression, fascism and communism. 4 today, a generation raised in the shadows of the cold war assumes new responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom but threatened still by ancient hatreds and new plagues. 5 raised in unrivaled prosperity, we inherit an economy that is still the world’s strongest, but is weakened by business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep divisions among our people. which search term is the best way to find bill clinton's first inaugural address on the internet? a) bill clinton b) inaugural addresses c) presidency of bill clinton d) first inaugural address of bill clinton

i think the anti-race spokesman is working to achieve equality between whites and blacks and to encourage blacks to shakespeare's theory

"character is what you are in the dark." dwight lyman moody, in this very witty quotation of his, states we act and think differently when we are "in the dark", that is, when the spotlight is not on us and everyone can see us and consequently judge us. when reading, we tend to be sympathetic to some characters and their dilemmas. by being so, we are saying to ourselves that we agree with those characters' acts and choices, even if they are morally questionable if we have common sense in mind. dwight lyman moody's quotation applies very well to "crime and punishment", by   19th century russian writer fiodor dostoyevsky. raskolnikov, the main character, a former law student who spends his days reflecting upon life and its misery, draws a fatal conclusion: mankind is divided in two main categories: ordinary and extraordinary people. the first are the ones who lead a run-of-the-mill existence and are full of imperfections; the latter are the ones who are spiritually superior, the ones who always know better, and have the right to judge the ordinary ones, as well as eliminate them if for common good. raskolnikov considers himself as belonging to the extraordinary category and decides to kill an old lady who is a money lender and in whose house he rents a small room. raskolnikov compares himself to napoleon, who had the undeniable right to execute tons of people during the war in order to save his nation. of course what the main character decides to do is a horrendous crime, but as readers we feel it is the right thing for him to do, since the victim is a mean old woman who only thinks about money and keeps humiliating her younger sister. what one experiences is a mixture of sympathy and empathy for the character, even though he decides to commit homicide, which is not at all accepted or tolerated by civilized citizens. however, since readers are "in the dark", they allow themselves to feel in ways they would probably never dare to confess to anyone, no matter how nasty or vicious a character can be. after all, they are just reading and doing no harm. in other words, readers are in the dark and can be who they are without being judged.
