Blood Lust: Hybridity and Heteroglossia of Vampires
Mikhail Bakhtin: The Heteroglossia of Gothic Tales Bakhtin (1895 - 1975), the Russian literary theorist and linguistic rhetor, contends that within any text, there exists a multitude of social voices, often contradicting voices entangled in dialogue: the writer's, the reader's, and other cultural voices. Meaning is found or lost in the rhetorical act found between the two or multitude of speakers. This heteroglossia (Discourse in the Novel) presents a problem because we often miss the plurality of sounds and only notice the sound of Butoh Dancers of death and vampire leaders who suck our blood and taxes.

Hoʻoponopono of Hawaiʻi: Home Sweet Home
Lost in America Growing up in Korea, Japan and Italy, it was hard to adapt to life in Mississippi and Oklahoma. I felt lost in America. Finally, in high school we moved to Los Angeles, where I became a gymnast and loved to practice martial arts. Finally, I found someplace I fit in. I learned Spanish because no one speaks English there; at least, none of my friends did, they spoke Chinese, Korean, Spanish or other languages. The only time I heard English was when people from different cultures were forced to talk to each other.
