A decision in regards to marriage is not something one takes lightly, which means that ultimately it should not be considered from one''s own per­spective. Not only is the choice of an object partner too essential to be left to what one happens to feel for someone walking down the street, the ideal of love cannot be actualized when centered on oneself. At what point has one fulfilled one''s portion of responsibility and under what circumstances is one justified to end a relationship that was intended to be for eternity? An answer to such an important decision as to the feasibility of one''s marriage needs to be sought beyond the fluctuating part of the mind susceptible to the circumstances. The image of the ideal is owned by the individual, and realized in the relationship with a partner, in that order. The centrality of truth as the standard upon which to actualize the ideals of love has to be more important than one''s preferences and the marriage itself. When one lacks the desire of being in truth, one will find that one must be lacking in love as well. If a man is to perfect his love for woman, and vice versa, each party needs to transcend the limitations of their pre-held notions.
"Hollywood: An Epic Production" delights as it instructs. Written in heroic couplets, the form used by Dryden and Pope in their mock epics and satires, it recounts and interprets the history of the movies. Like other great epics, it contains twelve (short) cantos, each one devoted to an era such as the Twenties or Film Noir, an epic catalogue, and epic similes. Its witty lines and deep insights prove once again that poetry can be as enjoyable as it can be meaningful. Every lover of the movies, every devotee of film, every student of Americana, indeed, anyone who appreciates literature will want to read this poem and to share it with others."Page by page, William Park''s epic poem "Hollywood: An Epic Production" takes the reader on a poetic romp through Hollywood''s razzle-dazzle history. The poem is composed by an author made of three personalities - the passionate moviegoer, scrupulous historian with an encyclopedic knowledge of films and why we love them, and witty poet. Park takes us on an elegiac journey from Capra to Kubrick, silent films to the modern day blockbuster that reminds us of all that is great about movies and poetry. Melding film and poetry in a deft blend, Park''s poem is ultimately a celebration of the artistic spirit."Jon Avnet, director of Fried Green Tomatoes, Up Close and Personal, and Uprising."William Park loves the movies and loves the eighteenth century, and his mock-poetic history of Hollywood in heroic couplets brings together both loves." Gilberto Perez, author of The Material Ghost.

La iniciativa de contar nuestras experiencias durante el paso por las aulas del Colegio Mejía nace durante la ceremonia simbólica de incorporación de agosto del 2015 después de 32 años de haber egresado de esta noble institución del saber y la democracia. Ese año fue 1983.Se recopilaron datos históricos y los ingredientes fundamentales de alumnos y maestros durante 6 años para que este proyecto pase a la posteridad en un libro de las memorias de nuestras vivencias en el Mejía.La portada fue diseñada por el autor, las fotos de mi archivo personal, otras proporcionadas por los compañeros, así como de diferentes fuentes citadas en el texto.Las anécdotas nos han transportado a través del tiempo por diferentes épocas desde la Edad Antigua hasta la Edad Contemporánea, se mencionan obras maestras de la Literatura Universal como La Divina Comedia y El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha. Hechos históricos trascendentales como la Revolución francesa que encendió la mecha para los movimientos independentistas de América, la revolución liberal de 1895, la guerra civil española, guerra del 41, guerra del Cenepa, y por ende los personajes históricos como Sófocles, Napoleón Bonaparte, José Mejía Lequerica, Eloy Alfaro, Isidro Ayora, José María Velasco Ibarra, Galo Plaza Lasso, Lenín Moreno y otros entes importantes mencionados por los compañeros y como parte de la investigación y recopilación de datos para la publicación de este libro El objetivo primordial de esta publicación es promocionar la amistad y compartir las experiencias de sus personajes a lo largo de sus trayectorias durante la vida estudiantil y posterior al colegio que los formó para ser unos profesionales y proyectar esas vivencias a las futuras generaciones. Espero que el encuentro en el colegio no sea el último y mantengamos ese contacto siempre.Ahora quiero expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a todos los compañeros, profesores de aquella época y familiares quienes colaboraron con sus relatos para que esta publicación se haga realidad.Espero que sea de su agrado y al leer las anécdotas se remonten a esos tiempos que jamás se olvidan y más que nada la gran amistad que hemos forjado a través del tiempo y nos encontremos nuevamente con nuestras familias en un futuro cercano.Estuvimos en la mejor versión del Patrón Mejía, pero éramos campeones en todo, o casi todo. La selección de básquet campeona todos los años que fui estudiante, fútbol, atletismo, el grupo folklórico, la banda de guerra, en fin, tantas cosas más. Juan Carlos Gachet.
Imaginary war games lose their appeal when exposed to real combat. After facing wolves and the town bully, Benaiah is sure that his hero, David, can use his help. Benaiah, descendant of the priestly line of Aaron, is expected to become a priest like his father, and his father before him. But Benaiah wants to be a warrior for his hero, David. Times are tough for the Levites who depend on tithes, and for the priests who receive their share from the Levites. King Saul''s execution of eighty-five priests of Nob dried up the offerings. The whole country is in upheaval as Saul now seeks to kill his rival David, who, with his motley men, is hiding in the wilderness of Judah. Why does Saul want to kill his best fighter? It''s confusing to twelve-year-old Benaiah. Even if he could somehow get out of his hometown, how would he find David? Saul and his 3,000 chosen warriors are having difficulty, so what chance does Benaiah have?

In the early hours of January 31, 1968, eighty-thousand North Vietnamese and Vietcong combat troops attacked every major city and military base in South Vietnam. The perimeter of the massive Saigon Airbase, Tan Son Nhut, was breached, and fighting raged all morning. Both gritty and intimate, From Chicago to Vietnam tells the powerful story of the ensuing epic battle, the Tet Offensive, from the perspective of one brave American soldier, Michael Duffy, whose life, like so many others, would forever be changed.Duffy''s war experience begins when he exits a C-130 cargo plane onto the Tan Son Nhut tarmac-a chaotic scene of blasts, explosions, and small arms fire. Sprinting to a waiting helicopter, he is lifted up and over the city, where he gets a bird''s-eye view of Saigon under attack. The helicopter lands on a road outside Bien Hoa Base Camp, and Duffy crawls in under enemy fire, tumbling into a fox-hole under cover of two GIs. Later, he meets up with his younger brother, Danny Duffy, in an ammunition convoy driving up Highway 1 to the village of Xuan Loc.After his brutal one-year tour in Vietnam, Duffy returns to Chicago, where he enjoys a Christmas dinner with his family before enrolling as a freshman at Colorado College. Like many vets, his return from the war would be met with curiosity, indifference, and, at times, scorn. This harrowing memoir was thirty years in the making.
