Plot synopsis The author s mother makes her mother eight promises before she leaves war torn China to join her husband in America in 1950. The eighth is the most influential to the author. In the book, the authors writes blockquote It is the Eighth Promise to live with compassion toward all that I think of as the ever living promise, the one for all of one s days. And this promise, this way perhaps arising to the level of a moral path strikes me as the distillation of all the wisdom of my kin. blockquote In the book, author William Poy Lee gives us a rare memoir that touches on many dimensions beyond his personal experience. His moving stories start amidst the Southern Chinese farming villages of Toisan , where his mother was born in 1926 and raised and later left after World War II. Structurally, the book alternates chapters between the author s voice and that of his mother, whom the author interviewed in her original Toisanese dialect . But the main part of the book is set against the background of the San Francisco of the 1960s and 1970s. He successfully utilizes his narrative to summarize the upheavals of civil rights era, Vietnam War, and the counterculture and of his own coming of age. Themes The multiple levels of the narrative can be summarized as 1. The author s personal story. As a memoir, the author talked about his humble origins, early education assimilation rites of passage and later activisit involvement in high school and the Chinese American Civil ... ethnicities such as Hispanics and Italian Americans.

About the opera by Alan John other uses Eighth Wonder disambiguation Unreferenced date December 2009 The Eighth Wonder is an opera by Alan John and with a libretto by Dennis Watkins . It was premiered at the Sydney Opera House on October 14, 1995 in the presence of the composer and librettist. Plot The opera tells the story of the very building in which it was performed. Soon after the building was commissioned and work had commenced the Premiers of the Australian states State Premier who administered its genesis died. The opera suggests that the Premier believed that if the work was not sufficiently advanced and there was a change of government then the project would be cancelled. Therefore the Foundation architecture foundation work was commenced before the architect had solved the problem of how to build the main structure of the building. The time and cost estimates were also understated to ensure work commenced. There were many other engineering and design problems that had not been solved when work had commenced. The opera supports the idea that the architect was fully competent to solve these problems and indeed was able to provide solutions that were far more elegant than anything that anyone less inspired, less talented and at one with a vision could provide. Some time after that there was indeed a change of government. There was much hostility toward the building and the new government was not willing to let the architect complete the project. Much scandal was made of the time and cost of the project. The state bureaucracy wrested control from its architect and the architect s intentions for the interiors of the building were never realised. The architect left the country and disowned the building.

In music , a sixteenth note American or semiquaver British also occasionally demiquaver is a note played for one sixteenth the duration of a whole note , hence the name. The semiquaver is half of a quaver which is an eighthnote. Sixteenth notes are notated with an oval, filled in note head and a straight note stem with two flag note flag s. see Figure 1 . A similar symbol is the sixteenth rest or semiquaver rest , which denotes a silence for the same duration. As with all notes with stems, sixteenth notes are drawn with stems to the right of the notehead, facing up, when they are below the middle line of the musical staff . When they are on or above the middle line, they are drawn with stems on the left of the note head, facing down. Flags are always on the right side of the stem, and curve to the right. On stems facing up, the flags start at the top and curve down for downward facing stems, the flags start at the bottom of the stem and curve up. When multiple sixteenth notes or eighthnote s or thirty second notes, etc. are next to each other, the flags may be connected with a Beam music beam , like the notes in Figure 2.
