After awhile you can just look at your watch, know that you’re hungry and start to salivate. Without seeing any food. This is classical conditioning. There is a way to reverse this but it is quite extensive.
Observable learning is a very good way to learn for man ...

... goodbye to dangerous stress, tobacco, burgers, serial killings, muggings, and smog. Times change. Many of today’s accepted virtues might one day be judged as crimes against humanity and nature, which leads to the question: What kind of world do you want to live in?
Our ancient habit is to stumble backwards into the future. We feel that we as individuals make little difference, as if history and the future just happen at us. Obscure plans, which have guided people forward in the past, have now rendered themselves useless. There are no known maps to show pathways into the future.
We’ll need to consider back to our hearts, common sense and basic human capabilities ...

... When Jim is talking to Anton by the windmill about Vienna, Ringstrasse, and the theatres Anton says “ Gee! I’d like to go back there once, when the boys is big enough to farm the place. Sometimes when I read the papers from the old country, I pretty near run away, I never did think I would be a settled man like this.”(234,235)
Antonia couldn’t be any happier with the life she is living. She has become grizzled, lost many teeth, and has had to work hard in this new venture. One phrase that shows Antonia's love for the farmland is when she says; “There wasn’t a tree here when we first came. We planted every one, ...

... when compared to Robert Wilson, his safari leader. He regains his integrity and confidence when "he bravely faces a charging bull" only to have his "life cut short when his wife--fearful of her husband's newfound potency-fires a bullet through the back of his head" (Ed. Harris 205).
At the start of the safari, Francis Macomber must endure the embarrassment of his own cowardliness during the hunt. He is first presented in a "mock triumph", since he had only "half an hour before, been carried to his tent from the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and shoulders of the cook, the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken no part ...

Layton's "The Role Of The Teacher": A Review
... essay.
Irving Layton uses metaphor in his essay. "books have become
objects of curiosity; like an atomic pile, something heard about but never
seen"(p145) This sentence lets people relate with the point that author is
trying to get across to the reader. The reader now has a mental reference
or link to what is being described so he can now better understand what he
is reading. This stylistic device is used effectively in this essay.
"Knowledge spills over like a water from a seemingly inexhaustible
fountain."(p146) This is a good use of imagery. By applying this
description of endless knowledge to a fountain or waterfall the reader can
make ...

A Separate Peace 3
... pink shirt. By wearing this he was “symbolizing the first U.S. bombing in Europe.” Gene simply replied to the shirt by calling Finny “nuts,” but deep down inside Gene was jealous of Finny’s boldness. Another incident of Finny’s openness, or boldness is when he wore the school tie as a belt. Gene was anxiously waiting for Finny to get yelled at, but because of his openness he was able to talk his way out of getting into trouble. Finny claimed that he wore the tie as a belt because it represented “Devon in the War.” Again, Gene was envious of Finny’s openness to make up a story and “get away with eve ...
