A tireless presence in writing practice and theory, Peter Elbow has been a guiding force, teaching teachers to educate with style and students to write with power. With Writing With Power and Writing Without Teachers, Elbow reformed the teaching of writing, and he continues to do so today with Everyone can Write: Essays Toward the Hopeful Theory of Writing and Teaching Writing and with Being a Writer. Elbow has influenced education so much that he is a veritable icon of how to teach writing; one cannot graduate from a composition graduate course without hearing his name, without studying and implementing his techniques. His many publications center on the art and experience of writing, offering so much practical advice that any student or educator can implement easily his techniques. As Peter Elbow asserts, everyone can be a writer, and his many followers would assert that he has certainly helped them get there. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Professor Elbow.

The result is a thriving on-line community dedicated to the art and craft of writing. One way to participate in this community is to become involved in a critique group. Such groups function much like traditional writer's groups, with two main goals: To help members improve their writing skills, and to provide a sense of support and camaraderie. Most critique groups work through e-mail, though some are now being hosted online as well. Members submit material (stories, poems, articles, etc., depending upon the focus of the group), and are expected to review and comment upon the material submitted by others. Frequently, such groups expect members to comment within a specific timeline (e.g., within a week of receiving a submission) and/or to critique a certain number of submissions per month.

RONGORONGO The Easter Island Tablets by Jacques B.M. Guy Overview Rongorongo Tablet three bear the same text in slightly different "spellings", a fact discovered by three schoolboys of St Petersburg (then Leningrad), just before World War II. In 1958 Thomas Barthel made the whole of the Easter Island corpus available in his "Grundlagen zur Entzifferung der Osterinselschrift" ("Bases for the Decipherment of the Easter Island Script"), alas never translated into English. Almost forty years later now the tablets remain as much of an enigma. Their meaning remains unknown, except for two and a half lines of one tablet, which, beyond reasonable doubt, contain a lunar calendar , already identified as such by Barthel in 1958. The Discovery of the Tablets "In 1868 newly converted Easter Islanders send to Tepano Jaussen, Bishop of Tahiti, as a token of respect, a long twine of human hair, wound around an ancient piece of wood. Tepano Jaussen examines the gift, and, lifting the twine, discovers that the small board is covered in hieroglyphs." Jaussen's Attempt at Decipherment Mgr Jaussen sits down to the daunting task of writing down Metoro's reading of four tablets in his possession.

In most cases, the only time left to write is at night. The second meaning derives from the fact that sometimes the words to write come from the Spirit during the night.

54. The Contradiction In Anarchism Objectivist critique of anarchocapitalism. http://rous.redbarn.org/objectivism/Writing/RobertBidinotto/ContradictionInAnarc

The Contradiction in Anarchism by Robert J. Bidinotto ( Bidinotto@compuserve.com In his posting [to the Moderated Discussion of the Objectivist Philosophy mail list], T. Franklin Harris, Jr. writes: Anarcho-capitalism is far from a "floating abstraction." It is founded on the principle of non-coercion (the state is seen as inherently coercive) which comes, in turn, from natural rights theory, which, as Rasmussen and Den Uyl note, makes up meta-normative principles necessary for human beings being complete moral agents. In an earlier posting, he said that... ...the main anarcho-capitalist point is that a monopoly on the use of retaliatory force must also include a legal monopoly on the use of coercive force. Outlawing alternative protection services if such services respect individual rights must be itself an act of coercion and thus immoral. And: If other protection agencies use force only for retaliatory and not coercive purposes, then outlawing such agencies would be coercive force. Thus he proposed... ...to question how a monopolistic government can be created that does not, by its very nature, violate the rights it is in the Objectivist view charged to protect...

Critiques by Susan Katz and Jennie Skerl Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Step 1. Analyze the text Step 2. Evaluate the text Step 3. Plan and write your critique When college professors ask you to write a critique of a text, they usually expect you to analyze and evaluate, not just summarize. A summary merely reports what the text said; that is, it answers only the question, "What did the author say?" A critique, on the other hand, analyzes, interprets, and evaluates the text, answering the questions how? why? and how well? A critique does not necessarily have to criticize the piece in a negative sense. Your reaction to the text may be largely positive, negative, or a combination of the two. It is important to explain why you respond to the text in a certain way. Step 1. Analyze the text As you read the book or article you plan to critique, the following questions will help you analyze the text: What is the author's main point? What is the author's purpose? Who is the author's intended audience? What arguments does the author use to support the main point?
