Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is an 1845 memoir and treatise on abolition written by famous orator and former slave Frederick Douglass during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period. In factual detail, the text describes the events of his life and is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th century in the United States. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass encompasses eleven chapters that recount Douglass's life as a slave and his ambition to become a free man. It contains two introductions by well-known white abolitionists: a preface by William Lloyd Garrison, and a letter by Wendell Phillips, both arguing for the veracity of the account and the literacy of its author.

Inside the books, there are my drawings/illustrations. Before my drawings, here is something when did the book started: When I visit Mission San Juan Capistrano, I am taking pictures and exploring around the landmark in Southern California. Suddenly, I saw the swallows are in the mission. I heard some people say for every year, the swallows have migrated from the south to migrated to the north. Some other swallows made a new home on the barn, houses, and the other places around your neighborhood. There are some of the reasons why the swallows chose a mission. When I got home in Rancho Mirage, I went to the library to study the missions and the swallows. I am taking notes to puzzle it for the story. It gives me an idea. I wrote down the book and the drawings. I pick some the characters for the stories and some of it had something to do my childhood. For example, the rooster was the biggest bully and it chasing me and never stops teasing me, the red rattlesnake was inside my treehouse and that

He wasn’t supposed to think about her. He shouldn’t even remember her. But ever since Abe Fujikawa visited Cristo’s Coffee, he can’t get the beautiful barista out of his head. At forty-two, he’s too old to date someone in her twenties. She wouldn’t be interested in him anyway. Abe has too much baggage left over from his sham of a first marriage.

In an atmosphere at a moment in our own prehistory, wrapped inside a contemplation on the nature of evolution, we are invited into the lives of two species of herd animals coping with the climate change of their day. Facing the extinction of one herd less able to adapt, how they muddle through mirrors the spectrum of our own day-to-day lives. Might they be our distant ancestors? Perhaps also our survivors? Might these beasts provide a better template for confronting extinctions in our time? Even our own. Long bridges of evolution we view in the span of Eras were instead crossed in precise moments of lightning-bolt epiphanies, sparked by absurd conclusions of ridiculous logic, odd mammalian behaviors, and eternal wisdom. The bridges culminate with two nondescript, individuals, one from each species, bonding, living, and in the end dying--creating, or re-creating the near root of civilization. We are left with the perhaps actual, impossible, artifacts from those moments of beginning; when our own spe

Before we begin... Many of these “shorts” as I like to call them unfold on altered versions of earth. Subtle variations on the current state of humanity based on a single, monumental decision, or simply the fate of a nation who has lost its bearings, Terra (earth) is the backdrop for four of these tales. With each additional turn of page and each passing account, we find the worlds darker, the stakes higher. We begin with a simple test of love and courage in the waters of a far off ocean world, move through the razor-sharp grasslands to avoid the fiercest of predators, exchange hot lead over the skies of Alabama, watch as a man tries to keep his humanity in world with no laws, look through the eyes of an ancient architect pondering the sacred blue planet while cloaked behind a moon, share a glimpse of the future and teleportation’s dark side and finally, we bask is in the glow of the ultimate retirement plan. Each of these tales is more than a simple beginning and e
