El documento analiza el poema "Tun tún de pasa y grifería" de Luis Palés Matos. Describe cómo el poema cataloga las expresiones culturales y la visión heroica de los ancestros africanos en las Antillas. También describe los bailes, instrumentos, comidas y religiones representadas. El poema utiliza la ironía y la parodia para burlarse del fetichismo de la piel blanca y celebrar la cultura afroantillana de forma disidente frente al insularismo dominante.
El poema describe una danza negra ritual en África, con referencias a lugares como Tombuctú, Fernando Póo y Camerún. Utiliza sonidos onomatopéyicos como "tu-cu-tú" y "to-co-tó" para imitar los instrumentos de percusión y los cánticos. A través de cada estrofa presenta elementos de la cultura y el ambiente de la danza, repitiendo el estribillo "Calabó y bambú" para darle ritmo.

This document discusses different Christian perspectives on the problem of evil. It is divided into 5 camps:
1) God is not all-knowing or evil came from free will.
2) God is not all-powerful or evil resulted from sin.
3) God allows evil for morally sufficient reasons like justice, free will, or soul-making.
4) Evil does not truly exist but is the absence of good.
5) Evil exists in the human mind due to concepts like pride, fear, and dehumanization.
The document examines views from thinkers like Augustine, Calvin, Aquinas and explores how beliefs about evil can influence perceptions of danger and punishment. In the end, the author

The document discusses key concepts in rhetoric, diffusion of innovations, and persuasion. It outlines the rhetorical triangle of ethos, logos, and pathos. It then describes Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory, including the five categories of adopters - innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards.

Hollywood films often take creative liberties with historical events for dramatic purposes that may distort or oversimplify what actually happened. Movies need to condense complex events into a digestible narrative over a few hours, whereas historians have more time to analyze the nuances and complexities of history. While films can introduce audiences to interesting periods of history, their primary goal is entertainment rather than accurate historical documentation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

10. The Elephant –
Kamba tribe
A very poor man heard of lvonya-Ngia, 'He
that feeds the Poor'. He decided to go and
find Ivonya-Ngia but it was a long journey.
When he finally arrived, he saw
uncounted cattle and sheep, and there,
amidst green pastures, was the mansion
of Ivonya-Ngia, who received the poor
man kindly, perceived his need and
ordered his men to give him a hundred
sheep and a hundred cows. 'No', said the
poor man, 'I want no charity, I want the
secret of how to become rich.' Ivonya-
Ngia reflected for a while, then took a
flask of ointment and gave it to the poor
man, saying: 'Rub this on your wife's
pointed teeth in her upper jaw, wait until
they have grown, then sell them.' The
poor man carried out the strange
instructions, promising his wife that they
would become very rich.
11. The Elephant (Continued)
After some weeks, the canine teeth began to grow and when they had
grown into tusks as long as his arm the man persuaded his wife to let
him pull them out. He took them to the market and sold them for a
flock of goats. After a few weeks the wife's canine teeth had grown
again, becoming even longer than the previous pair, but she would not
let her husband touch them.
Not only her teeth, but her whole body became bigger and heavier,
her skin thick and grey. At last she burst out of the door and walked
into the forest, where she lived from then on. She gave birth to her son
there, who was also an elephant.
From time to time her husband visited her in the forest, but she would
not be persuaded to come back, although she did have more healthy
children, all elephants. It was the origin of elephants and it explains
why elephants are as intelligent as people.
