No livro A cabra vadia: novas confissões, Nelson Rodrigues inicia a crônica “Os dois namorados” com a seguinte afirmação:

“há coisas que um grã-fino só confessa num terreno baldio, à luz de archotes, e na presença apenas de uma cabra vadia.”

Na crônica “Terreno baldio” ele recorre ao mesmo animal para explicar a ideia que teve de criar “entrevistas imaginárias”:

“Não podia ser um gabinete, nem uma sala. Lembrei-me, então, do terreno baldio. Eu e o entrevistado e, no máximo, uma cabra vadia. Além do valor plástico da figura, a cabra não trai. Realmente, nunca se viu uma cabra sair por aí fazendo inconfidências.”

(Nelson Rodrigues, A cabra vadia: novas confissões. Rio de Janeiro: Nova Fronteira, 2016, p. 52 e160.)

O caráter confessional associado à figura da cabra nas crônicas tem relação com

Ao descrever a rotina do protagonista Raimundo Silva, o narrador da História do Cerco de Lisboa afirma que só restaram fragmentos dos sonhos noturnos, “imagens insensatas aonde a luz não chega, indevassáveis até para os narradores, que as pessoas mal informadas acreditam terem todos os direitos e disporem de todas as chaves.”

(José Saramago, História do Cerco de Lisboa. São Paulo: Companhia das Letras, 1989, p.122.)

Com base nesse excerto e relacionando-o ao conjunto do romance, é correto afirmar que o narrador é

John Milton and Freedom of Speech on Campus

By Daniel F. Sullivan

A few years ago, at a seminar meant to help college presidents think about the issues they face as campus leaders, I read John Milton's Areopagitica: A speech for the liberty of unlicensed printing to the parliament of England. Originally published in 1644, Areopagitica makes a powerful argument for freedom of speech and against censorship in publishing. After twenty years as a college president, having experienced and observed many calls to censor, I've come to believe that there is not much to know on the topic beyond what Milton wrote over 350 years ago. Areopagitica was published in response “to Parliament's ordinance for licensing the press of June 14, 1643.” The effect of the ordinance against which Milton wrote “was to give Archbishop Laud, who was also Chancellor of the University of Oxford, control over every press in England, with power to stop publication of any book contrary to the Doctrine of the Church of England.” This was disturbing to Milton, who wrote, “as good almost kill a man as kill a good book: [he] who kills a man kills a reasonable creature; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself.”

To me, science is one way of connecting with the mystery of existence. And if you think of it that way, the mystery of existence is something that we have wondered about ever since people began asking questions about who we are and where we come from. So while those questions are now part of scientific research, they are much, much older than science. I’m talking about science as part of a much grander and older sort of questioning about who we are in the big picture of the universe. To me, as a theoretical physicist and also someone who spends time out in the mountains, this sort of questioning offers a deeply spiritual connection with the world, through my mind and through my body. Einstein would have said the same thing, I think, with his cosmic religious feeling.

When 24-year-old fashion blogger Scarlett Dixon posted a picture of herself having breakfast, the internet turned nasty. “The best of days start with a smile and positive thoughts. And pancakes. And strawberries”, Dixon wrote on her Instagram feed. The post was reposted on Twitter. “Instagram is a ridiculous lie factory made to make us all feel inadequate”, wrote Nathan from Cardiff. His post, which has garnered more than 111,000 likes (22 times as many as Dixon’s original) and almost 25,000 retweets, prompted a wave of criticism, with comments going like “Fakelife!”.

Instagram looks like the friendliest social network imaginable. But, for a growing number of users – and mental health experts – the very positivity of Instagram is precisely the problem. The site encourages its users to present an upbeat, attractive image that others may find at best misleading and at worse harmful. Instagram makes you worry that everyone is perfect – except you.

There are approximately 70 million pet dogs and 74 million pet cats in the U.S., a country where 20 men and women are assaulted per minute. In one survey, 71 percent of domestic violence victims reported that their abuser also targeted pets. In one study of families under investigation for suspected child abuse, researchers found that pet abuse had occurred in 88 percent of these families.
