There are few personal lyrics among his poems, no soliloquies in his plays: his is an art of community and contest. ![]() ![]() To describe Jonson's life means to fill in the blank background of the canvas, to show all we can of the relationships that created and constituted what Jonson terms the "gathered self." Even a brief sketch of his life requires attention to the way relationships were crucial to him, both in his life and in his work. Jonson's enormous head and shoulders fill the canvas: there is nothing to see but Jonson, plainly dressed, large featured, deep eyed, craggy faced. Abraham van Blyenberch's painting of Jonson in the National Portrait Gallery shows a man alone, without any symbolic accoutrements.

On the one hand, a de facto unipolarity characterized by American hegemony has been around for much longer than the end of the Cold War. This leads to the second empirical problem with the statement. This logic of relative positionality of states in an anarchic system, as this essay will argue, has not fundamentally changed since the emergence of BOP theory. Multipolarity and bipolarity can and should be considered, themselves, as manifestations of the underlying logic of the international system, which the BOP theory also embodies. In responding to this statement, the essay will first discuss the logical fallacy inherent in its argument: though the balance of power theory (BOP) emerged concurrent to certain types of power configuration in world politics-multipolarity and bipolarity in this case-it does not follow that it was these types of configuration per se that gave rise to the theory itself. Balance of power theory, therefore, cannot provide guidance for the world we are in.” Today the world is characterized by unprecedented unipolarity. ![]() “Balance of power theory grew out of many centuries of multipolarity and a few decades of bipolarity. ![]() Thing with feathers5/21/2023 ![]() But once it passed a certain point, I couldn’t fathom why you’d hide something so large when it came to hurting yourself. I actually loved the idea of this book and I loved the beginning, especially. And I know it’s hard to have an illness-if nothing else, I empathize with that wish that you weren’t different. ![]() I know it’s hard when you want to fit in. So, to sum up, I think this is the basis for my thoughts on this book. Especially when it’s your health on the line. God this review is just going south, ain’t it? My POINT remains that I think the guy in this book was a philanthropist with a sister who had issues of her own….why would he mock the girl he was falling for? I just didn’t connect there, I don’t think. People don’t just mock those with illnesses for no reason-Well. What I don’t get, however, is the need to lie to such a nice fella who shows signs of extreme care and understanding. ![]() ![]() Or, rather, to blend in, to not stand out. I can’t rightfully put myself into her position (or anyone else with an illness for that matter) and understand why I’d be ashamed, but I do understand the need to fit in. Like…I mean I guess I get why she wanted to fit in-I do. I just…I don’t know why the MC felt the need to lie. I have a new BBF and I want to shout it from the rooftops. ![]() The solution katherine applegate5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Ivan had lived in the mall for 27 years with an old elephant named Stella.
