The poem goes like this:
A Dog
by Gertrude Stein
A little monkey goes like a donkey that means to say that means to say that more sighs last goes. Leave with it. A little monkey goes like a donkey.
This isn't for a class. It's just an interesting piece of literature that I'm trying to untangle.
Any close readings?
"A LONG DRESS.
What is the current that makes machinery, that makes it crackle, what is the current that presents a long line and a necessary waist. What is this current.
What is the wind, what is it.
Where is the serene length, it is there and a dark place is not a dark place, only a white and red are black, only a yellow and green are blue, a pink is scarlet, a bow is every color. A line distinguishes it. A line just distinguishes it. "

What should I do my paper on? A Hunger Artist/Franz Kafka, Popular Mechanics/Raymond Carver, or Ada/Gertrude Stein? Which is the easiest if I want to talk about the theme in the story?
What should the theme be? Thesis sentence?
Thanks for your help and for saving my life.
y is it that light from stars are MILLIONS of light years away from a it's source, the star/stars?
(a light year is how far light goes in a year).
and also know that light is not matter- although it creates energy forms-, so it cannot be created in any way or form with-out it's source.
also know that light is not matter, so it cannot be created in any way or form with-out it's source.
if god did even make light, ect- which he called day in the bible, which is SO dumb, bcuz day/night is the revolving of the earth basicly- that it's still millions of years away from where it comes.
and yeah, i read the bible, i being serious, im not lying and i cannot prove to u i am not, u just hav to bear with me here.
infact, dont say that the bible never says the world is not 6000 years old. i bet if u google it now, it will immedeatly say it does at the top of the list.
"there aint no answer. there aint going to be any answer. there never has been an answer. that's the answer."
~ Gertrude Stein
"the fact that a beliver is happier than a skeptic is no more to the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one."
~George Bernard Shaw.
i'll admit this is a re-do as people were answering with stuff that's inccorect, but it is different in a large number of ways, so answers should still come in.
i wonder if any1 answers now that it's full-proof?
heremes, im athiest, so the idea that the world is 6000 years old is ridiculous to me. i'll look into that thing u mentioned b4 that, 1 min plz...
and yep, it's that old. further proof to my thoughts.
"an", give me a better source than, "somewhere in the internet" and i'll belive u.
and hold on a moment, 4004bc,well over 2000 years before the bible was written. just explain a bit more, im confused...
to anake, lov the answer- best so far- and the fossil thing reminds me of a comment one guy made about something along thoes lines. he said the devil put the fossils in the ground to test us. rolf! XD.
btw, if any1 can put my question down, i'll still make it best answer. so come on, work on thoes arguments! im really bored....
I haven't read poetry much at all, but I would like to start. I made a list of poets that I'd like to start with, and I'd like for someone to help me narrow it further. Right now I want to read romantic poems, the type you might read aloud to someone.

The writer Gertrude Stein met her partner, Alice B. Toklas, in 1907 and lived with her until Stein died in 1946. How many people live with someone for almost 40 years just because the sex is good? Is it possible that their relationship was based on more than just sexual attraction?
"I really do not know that anything has ever been more exciting than diagramming sentences."
"And what does a comma do, a comma does nothing but make easy a thing that if you like it enough is easy enough without the comma. A long complicated sentence should force itself upon you, make you know yourself knowing it and the comma, well at the most a comma is a poor period that lets you stop and take a breath but if you want to take a breath you ought to know yourself that you want to take a breath. It is not like stopping altogether has something to do with going on, but taking a breath well you are always taking a breath and why emphasize one breath rather than another breath. Anyway that is the way I felt about it and I felt that about it very very strongly. And so I almost never used a comma. The longer, the more complicated the sentence the greater the number of the same kinds of words I had following one after another, the more the very more I had of them the more I felt the passionate need of their taking care of themselves by themselves and not helping them, and thereby enfeebling them by putting in a comma.
So that is the way I felt about punctuation in prose, in poetry it is a little different but more so …"

Im been stuck studying for finals exams. This is for english. I found 84 questions but these got me stuck. Can anyone help please. been studying so much and the internet is a great tool.
"I mistrust all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together, and I always had a suspicion that perhaps Robert Cohn had never been middleweight boxing champion, and that perhaps a horse had stepped on his face, or that maybe his mother had been frightened or seen something, or that he had, maybe, bumped into something as a young child, but I finally had somebody verify the story from Spider Kelly. Spider Kelly not only remembered Cohn. He had often wondered what had become of him. heres the excerpt.
Robert Cohn was a member, through his father, of one of the richest Jewish families in New York, and through his mother of one of the oldest. At the military school where he prepped for Princeton, and played a very good end on the football team, no one had made him race-conscious. No one had ever made him feel he was a Jew, and hence any different from anybody else, until he went to Princeton. He was a nice boy, a friendly boy, and very shy, and it made him bitter. He took it out in boxing, and he came out of Princeton with painful self-consciousness and the flattened nose, and was married by the first girl who was nice to him. He was married five years, had three children, lost most of the fifty thousand dollars his father left him, the balance of the estate having gone to his mother, hardened into a rather unattractive mould under domestic unhappiness with a rich wife; and just when he had made up his mind to leave his wife she left him and went off with a miniature-painter. As he had been thinking for months about leaving his wife and had not done it because it would be too cruel to deprive her of himself, her departure was a very healthful shock." -- chapter 1, The Sun Also Rises,

To quote Gertrude Stein," a rose is a rose is a rose". Marriage is and always has been defined as the union of opposite sexes; contrary to that given by Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition in which the following is added to its 10th Edition: "(2) the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage ".
can u please explain this quote, i think i get it but im still confused what it is trying to say:
"This is the lesson that history teaches: repetition." Gertrude Stein

3) Why did sports become popular in the 1920's?
4) What was the first talkie film?
1. Find an example of "vigorous English" from the excerpt.
2. How is Hemingway's love for sports represented in this excerpt?
3. Hemingway was influenced by the "stream of consciousness" style of fellow writer Gertrude Stein. Find an example from the excerpt of how Hemingway incorporated this style into his own.
4. What is the tone of this excerpt? Do you feel the story will end in a positive or negative way for Robert Cohn?
I did the first question which asked what was Hemingway's attitude towards Robert Cohn but I can't figure out these.
Thanks for any help.
"I mistrust all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together, and I always had a suspicion that perhaps Robert Cohn had never been middleweight boxing champion, and that perhaps a horse had stepped on his face, or that maybe his mother had been frightened or seen something, or that he had, maybe, bumped into something as a young child, but I finally had somebody verify the story from Spider Kelly. Spider Kelly not only remembered Cohn. He had often wondered what had become of him.
Robert Cohn was a member, through his father, of one of the richest Jewish families in New York, and through his mother of one of the oldest. At the military school where he prepped for Princeton, and played a very good end on the football team, no one had made him race-conscious. No one had ever made him feel he was a Jew, and hence any different from anybody else, until he went to Princeton. He was a nice boy, a friendly boy, and very shy, and it made him bitter. He took it out in
boxing, and he came out of Princeton with painful self-consciousness and the flattened nose, and was married by the first girl who was nice to him. He was married five years, had three children, lost most of the fifty thousand dollars his father left him, the balance of the estate having gone to his mother, hardened into a rather unattractive mould under domestic unhappiness with a rich wife; and just when he had made up his mind to leave his wife she left him and went off with a miniature-painter. As he had been thinking for months about leaving his wife and had not done it because it would be too cruel to deprive her of himself, her departure was a very healthful shock." -- chapter 1, The Sun Also Rises,
Sabrina Fair
By Samuel Taylor
SABRINA: Oh, I was hoping you wouldn’t recognize me! Have I changed? Have I really changed? I’m so glad to see you! David didn’t recognize me either, did you? Ah! Then I have changed, haven’t I? I don’t mean just the clothes, that was easy. But me! Myself! Do I seem different? Here now! Without the hat! (and she tears off the smart, ridiculous little hat, and shakes out her hair.) Now!
How wonderful! I wanted so to hear you say that. Is that vain of me? I don’t mean it to sound vain. I just thought it would be such fun to hear you say it. Because I feel so different! It was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning, as the ship was coming up the bay. And then later lying in my berth, having breakfast – my last breakfast of the good French bread and that horrible coffee that I love so – I thought: (she closes her eyes and tells her dream, with a soft smile) What fun it will be… they’ll all be in the garden, in the walled garden off the terrace… and I’ll come running into them to say hello. And they’ll say: “Sabrina? Is it Sabrina? Why Sabrina, we didn’t recognize you!” (She opens her eyes and grins) And that’s the way it happened! Oh! Think if you had just said, “Oh hello Sabrina, how are you?” I’d have died (she whirls on Julia) You don’t remember me, but I remember you. I used to peek around the corners at you. You’re famous in Paris, did you know that? I kept hearing about you all the time. It seems as though everybody knows you. And they tell such wonderful stories about you, in the twenties: about you and Picasso and Gertrude Stein, and the book shop you ran, and the magazine… It must be fun to be a part of a ledged.
Oh no! Paris was the most exciting place in the world then, wasn’t it?
It still is! (She turns and yells.) Father? I wish you could have seen father at the station. He was completely baffled. There I was, charging across the platform at him, yelling, “Father!” and he kept looking over his shoulder to see who my father was! (she crossed to him swiftly, smiling at him lovingly.) I finally had to leap at him to make him recognize me, didn’t I? And the most terrible thing happened! I leaped too hard and knocked him down! Right there in front of all Glen Cove! ... Father! The most dignified man on Long Island! Thank goodness it wasn’t a commuter’s train. (Pause… Silent apology) It’s just that I’m so excited

Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in Malaga.
At his birth he HAD respiration problems so cigar smoke was blown into his nose.
The first word of baby was Lapiz, that is pencil in Spanish language.
Picasso had learned to draw before he learned to talk.
He was the only son in the family and was very spoiled.
Picasso detested school and preferred to stay with his father who became an art teacher in 1891.
One evening the father WAS PAINTING a picture of their pigeons then he went away and left his work incomplete.
When he returned he found that his work had been finished very well.
The drawing was so beautiful that The father presented his job tools to the tirtheen Pablo and stopped to draw.
The Picasso Style was considered brilliant by a lot of people but others remained upset by this style so eccentric.
The faces were created with triangles and squares and the correct position of nose, mouth..WASN'T RESPECTED.
A famous portrait MADE by Picasso is that of the american writer Gertrude Stein and one of the most famous masterpieces
of modern painting is without doubt is Guernica, made in 1937, a painting that tells the bombing of the small Basque town
during the spanish civil war.
The work is of hard impact and describes perfectly the horror and the mounstrousness of the war.
Picasso married twice and had 4 sons and many mistresses. When he married Pamola , the second wife, Picasso had almost 70 years.
When Picasso reached 90 years he WAS EULOGIZED with an exhibition in the Louvre in Paris.
Picasso CREATED 6000 artistic works and today they cost millions of pounds.
I have to write a 5 to 7 page research paper on the city of Paris, France. Covering its history, culture, wars, government, and more.
I just got done with the introduction, but I'm really not sure if it gives the right message. Does it defame the city I'm trying to do a report on? Does it sound horrible, or is it simply bad writing?
Here it is:
“America is my country, but Paris is my hometown” – Gertrude Stein
Upon hearing the name Paris, several things often come to mind: the City of Lights, City of Romance, the Eiffel Tower, corner bakeries full of fresh pastries and sidewalks lined with bistro tables, among other famously trite connotations. “Paris has been described so much” noted Baron de Pollnitz in 1732, “and one has heard it talked about so much, that most people know what the city looks like without ever having seen it”. Paris, France could often be perceived as a clichéd almost banal city to try and novelize in a single paper. “One never sees Paris for the first time” concurred Italian writer Edmondo de Amicis in the late nineteenth century, “one always sees it again…”. As these remarks lead us to believe, Paris cannot be visited or looked upon now without elevated expectation. Thus because of its popularity, it confines this prodigious city to simply berets and baguettes, when there’s so much more under the surface, if you as the reader are willing to delve deeper into the intriguing history of this vivid city.

What would you change, add, or take out? Opinions?

1) Can a sentence have both passive and active parts?
2) If you see 'was' or 'were' followed by a past participle should you always think it is passive?
3) Is this a passive statement - "Both men were living in Paris when they met Gertrude Stein".
Why not?
"Both men were honoured in their lifetime."
4) Is this sentence Present Perfect Passive? - "He was invited last year. I wasn't."
5) "He had wanted to become a soldier, but couldn't because of his poor eyesight" - is this passive?
6) "His final years were taken up with alcohol and drug problems" - is this passive?
Thank you
I am preparing a lesson on addictions and I was wondering if you could help me find a poem on coffee.
I found this one: Tender Buttons [Objects]
by Gertrude Stein
Thank you!
Does anyone know the full text of Gertrude Stein's poem "Sacred Emily"? I heard the line "a rose is a rose is a rose" from somewhere and I thought it was absolutely beautiful, but I haven't been able to find the poem anywhere! First person who can give me the whole poem will get 10 points. Thanks!
This poem is called "Negligible Old Star"
The poem is as follows:
NEGLIGIBLE old star.
Pour even.
It was a sad per cent.
Does on sun day.
Watch or water.
So soon a moon or a old heavy press.
----------
In case you're wondering, no grammar or spelling errors are included. Everything is Stein's original writing. Now here's the question: what the heck is she talking about?
Okay I am a huge Rent-Head EVERYONE and their dog knows this. I have driven 8 hours to NYC Just to see some original cast members reprise their roles in rent (just to come back the next day). Did nothing else while I was there. lol. I plan to go to all 5 shows on the final tour when they are near here and drive 4 hours to Cleveland to see a few shows there too. Our first dance is going to be "Where Do I begin" by Idina Menzel (the original Maureen in the show) And our last dance will be Seasons of Love from the show too.
ANYWAYS on to the question:
So I want to play my all time favourite song (which is from the show) La Vie Boheme... problem it's a little dirty...okay there are parts that are REALLY dirty. lol There are no clean versions of it anywhere (it's impossible to have a clean version if you know anything about the song and the show). The only person it would offend is my grandma and her husband. Everyone else loves the song and would love dancing to it.Should I play it? It really does have a great message (especially if you know the story of the show)
For those who don't know the song I'll post the lyrics: (here's the video too) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SPxtv3KW9A

To Absolut- To choice-

And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his inability
oh he likes rent too. Not as much as I do (very few people I know do. lol). But he does love it and He was the one who said "we're playing la vie boheme right?" I hadn't even considered it til he mentioned it
btw...we are also considering making it a rent themed reception. I know it sounds weird but we have some great ideas for how to work it in. The overall theme of the show is about acceptance and love anyways
Pamela it's Angel who dies.
I had a report to do and my teacher couldn't make sense of it. I think it was because of the first part, but it all ties together at the end... least I think it does.
The dull, off-white walls around me were calling out to me, crying, pleading for me to leave this place. As it were, I was bound by snakes that dared me to move any muscle of my body, so leaving was, sadly, out of the question. Occasionally they allowed me to stir, whether it be because they understood that I could sit still only for a little while, or because they tired of leaving me in a certain position, I do not know. That day, it was the footsteps echoing down the hall, becoming louder with every fall that sent my heart beating like the wings of a humming bird. Never before had any sign of life, other than the dwerks that teased me with their freedom, made its way to me before the scheduled war cry released by the fruns, but that day, someone came for me.
The all too familiar door that connected my realm to those humans’ realm disappeared and I screamed out in fear as I always do, praying that the door may revive itself and seal off those dreadful creatures. Only thing was, this being wasn’t like all the rest, I could tell by the look in her eyes. They were small, deep brown eyes, but that was not what gave her away. When her eyes met mine, they met them. For once she was looking at me, not through me or away from me, but she saw me. Slowly, I took in the rest of her features before she could disappear, like they always do. The height, which there wasn’t much of, was the first I noticed, then her fairly plump body and pale skin. Her hair matched her eyes and was cut just short of her broad shoulder blades and her smile was mystifying, one moment gentle, the other fake and full of loath, but not towards me I knew.
Sparks shot out through the air, we swam through the deepest trench, and it wasn’t until her small, pale lips, opened that a thousand questions caused me to have a concussion. The first was a highly original one, one of which deserves some sort of award for the creativity of it. “Who are you?” I asked before she could speak.
Her precious smile faltered before becoming nothing but hurt. “It’s me, Gertrude Stein, don’t you remember me, love? Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania,” she waited and when I did not respond she continued. “Please now love, you must remember.” Again I remained silent and confused. “February 3, 1874, does that date mean nothing to you?” Guiltily I shook my head. “My birthday! Search into the depths of your memory!”
I could not. “I’m sorry, but I have no recollection of you.”
“But you, my fair Alice Toklas, were my inspiration, my partner, my editor and publisher. I wrote an autobiography, only in your name. My poems, remember them? You always loved my poems! About the strangest, most random things, food, rooms, and other objects, you must remember Alice.”
I’ll admit, it was a rather interesting performance, but I just could not remember who she was. I shook my head again. This time I spoke. “What year are we?”
“Oh, my love.” She sighed. “Does my presence not move you, not draw forth your attention? Are you unconcerned with me?” She did not wait for an answer. “Presently, we are at war with Japan, Germany, and Italy. Of course, I don’t write much about them, not my style. Remember you now?” Her gaze searched my expression and there she found her answer. Another sigh. “They bombed America, we met in France, and we lived there for some time, in Paris, which is where I did a lot of my work, before moving back to America. Pablo, he painted a portrait of me, Hemingway, Wilder, and Anderson, come now, you must have some idea of whom I speak of!” She was becoming desperate and searched frantically for something that would remind me of who she was. “I… I hated Roosevelt, his ‘New Deal,’ was preposterous. Franco, I adored him for fighting in the Spanish Civil War. I’m a genius for crying out loud! My work is the best thing to happen to this planet and everyone knows it’s true!
Bernard Fay and the Gestapo! Remember him? Of course you do, you must!” I hesitated this time, considered the thought of going along with her story, just to please her, but I decided to stay with the truth, so I shook my head.
I wasn’t expecting what came next. A poem recited by her, written by her that she called, “Glazed Glitter.” She even handed me a sheet of paper, which conveniently had the poem on it for me to read along. When she was done, more questions than before twirled around my mind.
“What was the deal with the nickel?” I asked.
“It simply forms the title, love.”
“That’s a bit strange. Okay, so how about ‘originally rid of a cover’, what’s that supposed to be?”
“It’s a metaphor really. It means that it has no concealment.”
“Oh. Sure. Okay, well…” I scanned the paper before me. “When it says, ‘The change has come’ what’s that supposed to mean? What does change have to do with anything?”
“Everything really, besides the fact that nickel is change,” I felt so dumb when she said it like that, thus making me realize change could have meant money wise. “It means that change has come.”
“Ah.” I sounded, though I still was confused. “‘Charming’, what’s it mean in that sentence?”
“It’s actually referencing to Carmen, which is a very beautiful song.”
“I’m unfamiliar with this word, ‘sinecure.’”
“Well, in plain English, it’s a paid job requiring hardly any work.”
“But…?”
“But in the sense of which I wrote it, it refers to sine cura, meaning ‘without cure of souls.’
“Why are Japanese people in here?”
“It’s not referring to them of course; rather it is speaking of japanning.”
“I see…” though I really had no clue, but at least we had trailed away from her trying to make me remember her, though she does seem to know me. But then, darn it all, my curiousty got the best of me. What if she wasn’t some psychotic person?
What if we really were together at one point in time and I just don’t remember? Though I think I’d remember someone as stunning as she.
“What else has happened between us?”
She searched again, searched further into her memory then I would’ve. A smile appeared on her face and I could tell that if I didn’t remember something, then she was going to go into some sort of depression. “I had an affair with May Bookstaver. Of course, not when I was with you, but you still got so jealous when I wrote about it that you crossed out every word that had ‘may’ with ’can’, ‘day’, or ‘today’.”
Everything had come to me. My love, my life, my beloved, Gertrude Stein, how could I have forgotten her?! But something had happened… something horrible…
“You died from stomach cancer,” my tears began to pour out and life ceased to have meaning. I choked as I finished, “1946… July 29… in Paris.”
Once again everything clicked. Wait a minute. I thought to myself, my brain working frantically, Gertrude was always my favorite poet, crazy woman, and I’ve always dreamt of marrying her, but she’s not of my time and I’m not Alice. My walls ceased to call out to me, Gertrude took form of some horribly disfigured being, which I slowly began to recognize as my doctor. The needle had just been taken away from my skin and I could see what I’ve been trying to avoid. I realized, for the hundredth time that I had been in a straight jacket, only allowed off after I take my medicine and always put back on before I go to sleep.
Mine is from Gertrude Stein, as she laid on her death bed she hoped for some foreknowledge of the beyond, Over and over she asked "What is the answer, What is the answer?". The family around her were silent, And then Gertrude suddenly sat up and said "What is the question?", and fell back dead.
So of course, What's yours?
as it uses scant empirical data for its' often sweeping generalisations and stereotypes?
As a humanity it shuns scientific and or statistical methodology for evidence- and many arguments are based upon other theoretical/academic arguments metaphorically a rickety house of cards?
It is based primarily on an American born white Christian/Jewish educated middle-class female's experiences thus is inherently classist and bigoted as it generally excludes non moderately affluent females, who maybe poor or v wealthy white, other races or non Judeo-Christian?
It is over-represented by generationally modaretely affluent Jewish academics- such as Gertrude Stein, Gloria Steinem, Liz Wurtzel etc- who lack the highly complex amalgam REAL life experiences of women outside their immediate peer group?
Has feminism measurable improved 3rd world women's lot or has empirical education, Western science and medicine done far greater-
If not then is feminism not only redundant but self-congratulatory?
Asking the question well, then what is it?...she thinks a condiment..I think not...we would really love your thoughts and ideas on the matter. Just so you know...we know what the proper definition of sugar is..we just want to know exactly how one would categorize it.

I'm doing a research project on her and need to find information fast so could anyone help me i'm having trouble finding information on her, and if anyone has any websight on her could you give me the address?Please and Thank You.
Ok, so I'm at a complete an utter loss on how to write a works cited page in the MLA format for a research paper on Gertrude Stein that I'm doing, and the MLA handbook that I have is too confusing for me to get a concrete idea on how to write a Works Cited page. Could any of you please help me with examples or very simple steps? It'd really mean a lot to me!
