Make a website documenting a scene that sticks in your memory from the childhood years of your family life.
A scene that sticks in my memory that happened during my childhood years would be when I moved from Cross Lanes, WV to Mineral Wells, WV. I was in the second grade at Cross Lanes Christian School when I found out I would be leaving all of my friends due to my dad accepting a job in Parkersburg.
I can remember my last day at Cross Lanes Christian School like it was yesterday. My class held a going away party for me that took place after recess. After the party, I returned to my house to see my room packed up. On the way to Parkersburg, I gazed out the window and wondered what it was like outside of my home town.
This memory has stuck with me throughout my life. It is a significant event that changed my life. I still keep in touch with my class at CLCS and last year I attended their graduation. Their graduating class consisted of 22 students, and approximately 15 of them I went to elementary school with.

Frederick Douglass
Describe Frederick's incident during his life as a slave. Also, provide a summary of Zen teaching the story originally told in pictures.
Frederick Douglass was sent by Mr. Convey to go to the woods and retrieve a load of wood. He was sent with a team of unbroken oxen. He was told that if the oxen started to run, he must keep hold of the rope. Douglass begins to explain how awkward, being his first time, riding the oxen was. When the oxen were frightened, it carried the cart towards to trees in a frightened manner. Douglass begins to tell how fortunate he was to escape death.
Zen Parable states how the ox is most likely the most domestic animal in China, bust also very helpful. Parable beings to tell the story as if it were told by using pictures. He describes each picture as picture one, two, three, etc. He gives specific details for the audience to feel as if they were there. For instance, "He is no longer torn by the world of appearances, no longer concerned with gain and loss. He is indescribably joyful. In the seventh picture he recognizes the ox as a symbol and lets it go." (Ulmer, 86)

Decision Scene
If driving a nail flush into a board is an image for a decisive state of mind, what is a good image for your manner of decision making?
A good image for my manner of decision making would be driving a nail into a board hard and fast. I say this because I am an impulse decision maker-- I don't ponder on situations, I do whatever feels best and appropriate at the time.

Haiku Design
Haiku design is simply said as being a relay, not thought of as a model, that shows the approach in moving beyond an antidefinition of modernist poetics to the use of imaging as a mode of reason. (Ulmer, 47) According to Ulmer, Haiku reason grasps the possibilities of the obtuse deimension of an image that grammatology suggests in the key to electracy. (ulmer, 49)
Haiku is used to help us all understand image logic.

Obtuse Meanings
"The grammatological analogy suggests that we may find the beginnings of our image alternative to the definition by observing closely the photographs of things." (Ulmer, 43)
With everything we do or even say, images come to mind. There is a particular image that comes to mind when I think of family. This picture consists of my family, when my brothers and I were younger, at the beach. This picture painted a family who was very happy and loving; and this is true. However, another picture consists of my little brothing frowning and me pushing him down, by looking at this picture one may think that my family is disfunctional.
