De acordo com dados recentes do IBGE referentes ao ano de 2004, cerca de 30%
da população economicamente ativa está desempregada em Salvador. Entretanto esta
porcentagem é muito maior se considerarmos também como não empregados aqueles
que estão subempregados, os que vivem na informalidade e os autônomos. A população
negra e pobre é a que mais sofre com a falta de vagas e postos de trabalho. Muito disso
deve-se a má qualidade do ensino público que não gabarita ninguém a pleitear
seguramente uma vaga no mercado de trabalho, ainda mais tendo esses que competir
com integrantes de extratos sociais mais abastados, que possuem a condição de investir
pesadamente em educação. Os empregos subalternos e aqueles que não requerem maior
qualificação são os que acabam sobrando para o povo negro e pobre, e mesmo estes
acabam por ser disputados como se fossem oportunidades únicas na vida dos
concorrentes: até para trabalhos menos desejáveis a demanda é muito maior que a
oferta, vide as imensas filas formadas quando do surgimento de vagas, inclusive tendo
dentre seus integrantes pessoas com qualificações acima da mínima exigida. O trabalho
é uma das características inerentes ao ser humano e aqueles que não o possuem não têm
condições de se realizarem plenamente, como tal.

A língua inglesa surgiu em meados do começo do primeiro século da era cristã, sendo
de origem anglo-saxônica. Inicialmente falada nas regiões que hoje compreendem a
Inglaterra, Escócia e Irlanda, hoje em dia é falada oficialmente também nos E.U.A,
Canadá, Antigua e Barbuda, África do sul, Austrália, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize,
Botsuana, Camarões, Republica Dominicana, Gâmbia, Granada, Gana, Guiana, Ilhas
Marshall, Ilhas Salomão, Jamaica, Índia, Libéria, Lesoto, Macau, Malta, Ilhas Mauricio,
Micronésia, Nigéria, Namíbia, Papua nova guiné, Nova Zelândia, Samoa Ocidental, São
Vicente e Granadinas, São Cristóvão e Neves e Santa Lúcia.
Hoje em dia o Inglês é a língua mais difundida no mundo. Sua expansão deveu-se a
vários motivos, mas o fato de a sua gramática ser elementar e descomplicada facilitou a
sua disseminação.

In this meantime, after he left the prison, he was a disciplined follower of Elijah
Mohammad but after some time he was kicked out from Nation of Islam because of his
thoughts and controversial public apparitions, he profited that was without work to
make the obligatory travel to any Muslim who can do it; he went to Mecca, one of the
most important holy city for them. There he got another enlightment. He saw Muslim
persons of various colors, races and places. This experience changed his mind about
non-black people; he couldn´t judge more a person for its skin color.
When he got back to USA, everybody saw that Malcom, who was completely against
white people, who was aggressive and explosive became in a comprehensive and easy-
going Malcom, who kept on fight for the black people´s rights but without the racist and
sectary mentality. He created the Organization of afro-american Unity to keep on
helping black needy people.
He was murdered on February, 21, 1965 in Audubon ballroom in harlem while speaking
about the OAAU, by a group of Black Muslims. Nobody knows if they were really
Muslins or CIA or FBI disguised agents.
During his lifetime Malcom X has transformed himself into a deeply moral, spiritual
person and lifted himself out of drug addiction, self hatred and poverty. He restored a
sense of pride to millions of black people, inside and outside USA. He can be
considered one of the greatest black leaders in the whole world.
Malcom x
"When I'm born I'm Black, when I grow up I'm Black, when I'm in the cold I'm Black,
when I'm in the sun I'm Black, when I'm sick I'm Black, when I die I'm Black. And
you... When you're born you're Pink, when you grow up you're White, when you're in
the cold you're Blue, when you're in the sun Red, when you're sick you're Green, when
you die you're Purple. And you dare to call ME coloured ?....".

His follow-up album, Bad (1987), accompanied by a solo world tour, sold six million
copies domestically. Only six of its seven singles hit the Top Ten, but five in a row hit
#1.
In late 1991, Jackson returned with Dangerous, which, by mid-1992, had sold four
million copies and spawned the hits "Black and White," "Remember the Time," "In the
Closet," and "Jam." Jackson's second world tour, launched in Europe in June 1992,
continued into 1993.
Although numerous rumors had circled around Jackson throughout his career, his
reputation remained clean. It wasn't until 1993 that he suffered serious damage to his
image. Jackson was accused of child abuse by a teenage friend, sparking a major media
frenzy. Through it all, Jackson vehemently denied the accusations. The civil case was
settled out of court in early 1994. Jackson began working on HIStory soon after the
settlement. HIStory contained one disc of Jackson's greatest hits and one disc of new
material. It was released on June 20, 1995.
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
In 1972 he was one of the founder members of Black Peoples convention (BPC)
working in social projects in the city of Durban South Africa. Because of his behavior
Steven Banthu, who added to your name the word Biko, was banned by the apartheid
government of South Africa at that time. He was restricted to just move inside his
hometown but even with this restriction he kept on helping BPC, trough his friends and
relatives.
Between 1975 and 1977 he was detained and interrogated four times. There he suffered
several violences but didn´t cooperate with racism government, which wanted that he
gave names of black leaders and places of their reunions.
In September, 12 , 1977 he couldn’t resist to the wounds and died. The official racist
press said that he just committed "suicide" inside Pretoria prison cell. It's hard to believe
in it but even dead he got inside the history as one of the greatest symbols of black
resistance.
“ Despite the inquest finding no person responsible for his death, the Commission finds that, in view of
the fact that Biko died in the custody of law enforcement officials, the probabilities are that he died as a
result of injuries sustained during his detention."

DELACROIX
I've done a lot of soul searching
and once again you are right. In
my previous work it's been all
surface, superficial. I have never
really dug deep. Not anymore. As
Mark Twain fully understood satire
is the way. Race has always been a
hot button in this country's
history and it needs to be pushed
harder. If we are ever to live
side by side in peace and harmony.
It's about promoting racial healing.
DUNWITTY
Go on. Good so far.
28
DELACROIX
I know you're familiar with minstrel
shows. They came about at the turn
of the 19th century. It was a
variety show in which the talent
was in blackface - singing, dancing,
telling jokes, doing skits.
Dunwitty, I ask you when was the
last time there was a good variety
show on the air. Carol Burnett?

3.6- Artistic focus- Redemption song (Bob Marley)
If Jamaica now is known all over the world it dues principally this
to one artist: Bob Marley.
This song is the last recording from Bob Marley. As if he was sure about his death
coming, the lyrics of this song are about freedom and hope. Look how he uses “ in a
wrong way” the personal pronouns. It might have been because of Jamaican English,
which has its own way to talk and write or the author wanted to represent a slave talking
about his capture. It up to us to decide which one is more likely.
36
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fullfill the book

3.7- Cultural focus- Mohandas K. Gandhi
Gandhi speech
"In my tour last year in Mysore [State], I met many poor villagers, and I found upon
inquiry that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simply said some God ruled it.
If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I, who am
infinitely lesser in respect to God than they to their ruler need not be surprised if I do
38
not realize the presence of God, the King of Kings. Nevertheless I do feel as the poor
villagers felt about Mysore, that there is orderliness in the universe."
Personal pronouns in the subject case, which you know from the previous topic, appear
often in the beginning of the sentences while in the object case they appear after the
verb or in the end of the sentence.
c) Reflexive pronouns

The English novelist and essayist Aldous Leonard Huxley, b. July 26,
1894, d. Nov. 22, 1963, a member of a distinguished scientific and literary family,
intended to study medicine, but was prevented by an eye ailment that almost blinded
him at the age of 16. He then turned to literature, publishing two volumes of poetry
while still a student at Oxford. His reputation was firmly established by his first novel,
Crome Yellow (1921), a witty satire on the intellectual pretensions of his time.
Huxley's early comic novels, which include Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves
(1925), and Point Counter Point (1928), demonstrate his ability to dramatize intellectual
debate in fiction; he discussed philosophical and social topics in a volume of essays,
Proper Studies (1927). In both fiction and nonfiction Huxley became increasingly
critical of Western civilization in the 1930s. Brave New World (1932), his most
celebrated work, is a bitterly satiric account of an inhumane society controlled by
technology, in which art and religion have been abolished and human beings reproduce
by artificial fertilization. Huxley's distress at what he regarded as the spiritual
bankruptcy of the modern world led him toward mysticism and the use of hallucinatory
drugs. The novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) portrays its central character's conversion from
selfish isolation to transcendental mysticism; and in The Doors of Perception (1954)
58
and Heaven and Hell (1956) he describes the use of mescaline to induce visionary states
of mind.
Huxley, who moved to southern California in 1947, was primarily a moral philosopher
who used fiction during his early career as a vehicle for ideas; in his later writing, which
consists largely of essays, he adopts an overtly didactic tone. Like his contemporaries D.
H. Lawrence and George Orwell, Huxley abhorred conformity and denounced the
orthodox attitudes of his time. The enormous range of his intellect and the pungency of
his writing make him one of the most significant voices of the early 20th century.
Brave new word dialogue between the savage and Mustapha Mond, the controller.
"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want
freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."
"In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "you're claiming the right to be unhappy."
"All right then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the right to be unhappy."
"Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphillis
and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in
constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the
right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind." There was a long silence.

In English, moreover, there are some specific rules to the plural's formation of the nouns.
On those finished in S, SS, SH, CH, X, Z e O Add ES
On those finished in Y and preceded by consonant exchange the Y for I and add ES.
And still we have the irregular plurals, which don't fit in none pre-determined rule
.Nouns finished in Y and preceded by vowel follow the general rule
b) Male / female
In English there's no specific rule to define the nouns' male and female in the case of persons.
In the case of animals we can use the specific term or in the cases which there isn't
discrimination between male and female, we use the word she to indicate the female and he
to indicate the male.
In the case of professions and occupations the term doesn't have any variation, unless when it
is made by some word which has genre variation. If we want to identify the genre, we add the
words male and female.
Comparatives-

Comparative of negative equality- A same quality shared between two elements, being that

or EST. in the case of those made by consonant-vowel-consonant, the last letter double.
60
Comparative of inferiority- A same quality shared between two elements, being that one of
those has less than the other.
Superlatives
Superlative of superiority- When a element has a quality incomparably superior

And said lookie here...
Candomblé and other traditional afro-Brazilian religions were formed in different areas
from Brazil with different rites and local names came from diverse African traditions:
Candomblé in Bahia, Xangô in Pernambuco and Alagoas, Tambor de mina in Maranhão
and Pará, Batuque in Rio Grande do Sul and Macumba in Rio de Janeiro.
Until the end of the 19th century, such religions were consolidated, but kept to be ethnic
religions from black groups slaves' descendents, being even a case of policy. In the
early last century, in Rio de Janeiro, the contact of Candomblé with Kardecist spiritism
brought from France was important in the springing of another afro-Brazilian religion:
Umbanda, which has been identified as being the Brazilian religion for excellence,
because, born in Brazil, it results of African, spiritualistic and catholic traditions
encounter.
During the 60's, with the large migration from northeast in searching of the big
industrialized cities in the southeast, Candomblé began to invade the well-placed
Umbanda territory and old umbandists began to be initiated in Candomblé, many of
them getting rid of the Umbanda rites to establish as fathers and mothers of saints in the
more traditional modalities of Orixas' cult. In this movement, Umbanda is associated
again to Candomblé, its old and "true" original root, considered by new followers as
71
being more mysterious, stronger, more powerful than its modern and whitened
descendent, Umbanda.
Candomblé found social, economical and cultural conditions very favorable to its
rebirth in a new territory. In the new Orixas' terreiros could be found people from all
ethnic and racial origin. They began to get interested in Candomble and made this
religion become a part of Brazilian people features.

important in the rock history. This song was written based on a fire at Frank Zappa's ( a
jazz-rock songwriter and guitar player) studio. The studio, for whom watched it from
some distance, seemed like the sea was on fire. This is why it has this title.
In 1974 Gillan and Glover left the band and were replaced by David Coverdale and
Glen Hughes respectively, and the band got elements from soul music, principally
because of Hughes' presence, who was a grooving bassist and a souls singer (David was
the lead singer but Glen used to make background vocals, divide some vocals and even
sing few songs alone).
In 1976, after Ritchies' departure, who was replaced by American guitar player
Tommy Bolin, they recorded "Come taste the band" and split up. Bolin died in the
following year by a heart attack.
In 1985 the second mark (Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice) returned with a
new release " Nobody's perfect" and kept together up to 1989 when Gillan left again to
be replaced by Joe Lyn tuner. Two years later Gillan got back but in 1996 Ritchie left
the band and the very known guitar hero Steve Morse (who played in Kansas and Steve
Morse band) joined to the group in his place.
In 2002 Deep Purple was preparing to make a new record when Jon Lord decided to
leave the band. To his place was called Don Ayre, who had played with Ritchie and
Roger at Rainbow.
One year later they released "Bananas" and began their world tour in Brazil, as a
kind of acknowledgment to Brazilian fans , who ever were faithful to the band.
Some people say, now, they are old, tired and have to stop but those who say this
have to listen to their new album. They will see, actually hear, that Deep Purple is like
wine: the older the better!
The song " Mistreated" is from the album "Burn" released in 1974. It is a classic hard
blues, so the musical features as the lyrics theme. It is about a man who lost his girl and
complains about it. Since Robert Johnson (American acoustic guitar player from the
30's) the blues uses twelve compasses and cries about emotional problems the same
way as this song composed by Ritche Blackmore (song) and David Coverdale (lyrics)

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--for ever."
The British author George Orwell, pen name of Eric Arthur Blair,
b. Motihari, India, June 25, 1903, d. London, Jan. 21, 1950, achieved prominence in the
late 1940s as the author of two brilliant satires attacking totalitarianism. Familiarity with
the novels, documentaries, essays, and criticism he wrote during the 1930s and later has
since established him as one of the most important and influential voices of the century.
Orwell's parents were members of the Indian Civil Service, and, after an education at
Eton College in England, Orwell joined (1922) the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, an
experience that later found expression in the novel Burmese Days (1934). His first book,
Down and Out in Paris and London (1933), was a nonfictional account--moving and
comic at the same time--of several years of self-imposed poverty he had experienced
after leaving Burma. He published three other novels in the 1930s: A Clergyman's
Daughter (1935), Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936), and Coming Up for Air (1939).
His major works of the period were two documentaries: The Road to Wigan Pier
(1937), a detailed, sympathetic, and yet objective study of the lives of nearly
impoverished miners in the Lancashire town of Wigan; and Homage to Catalonia
(1938), which recounts his experiences fighting for the Loyalists in the Spanish Civil
War. Orwell was wounded, and, when the Communists attempted to eliminate their
allies on the far left, fought against them and was forced to flee for his life.
Orwell's two best-known books reflect his lifelong distrust of autocratic government,
whether of the left or right: Animal Farm (1945), a modern beast-fable attacking
Stalinism, and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), a dystopian novel setting forth his fears of
an intrusively bureaucratized state of the future. The pair of novels brought him his first
fame and almost his only remuneration as a writer. His wartime work for the BBC
(published in the collections George Orwell: The Lost Writings, and The War
Commentaries) gave him a solid taste of bureaucratic hypocrisy and may have provided
the inspiration for his invention of "newspeak," the truth-denying language of Big
Brother's rule in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Orwell's reputation rests not only on his political shrewdness and his sharp satires but
also on his marvelously clear style and on his superb essays, which rank with the best
ever written. "Politics and the English Language" (1950), which links authoritarianism
with linguistic decay, has been widely influential. The four-volume Collected Essays,
Journalism, and Letters of George Orwell was published in 1968

which don't follow any specific rule in the past tense's and past participle's formations.
Regular and irregular verbs' simple present is made by the verb in its infinitive form,
without the word to.
Negative and interrogative forms are made with the help of auxiliary verb do ( don't,
does, doesn't)
Note: in the singular third person add S at the end of the verb as a general rule. In the
verbs finished in s,ss,sh,ch,x,z e o add es. In the verbs finished y and preceded by
consonant, exchange y for I and add es.
note: regular verbs negative and interrogative in the past are made with the auxiliar did
and its negative form, didn't. verbs finished in y preceded by consonant have the last
letter changed to I, adding ed. Regular verbs made by consonant-vowel-consonant have
the last letter doubled, adding ed. Regular verbs finished in e, just necessary add d.
c) irregular verbs (infinitive, past tense e past participle)
Irregular verbs are those which don't follow any rule and have, in most cases,
differences between past tense and past participle.
Note: negative and interrogative are made the same way as regular verbs.
d) simple future of irregular and regular verbs
Regular and irregular verbs' simple future is made by adding Will and the main verb in
the infinitive. Negative is made by adding won't and interrogative is made with the
exchanging between the subject and the term will.
Note: there is also in English language the future immediate tense, which is made by the
verb to be in the present, the verb to go in the gerund and the main verb in the infinitive.
This tense is used to indicate actions that will happen in a near future.
