A Litany Poem
You know those memories that never seem to go away like the ones that you look back on for the laughs, midnight memories, or the stories that you
will tell your children. Unfortunately, not all memories are that happy. In the poem, "A Litany", Gregory Orr is recalling the day that he accidentally
shot his brother when they were both children. The poem portrays a time of great sadness that Orr wants to share with the world as a way to cope
and to speak to others who have had significant death experiences. In his poem, Gregory Orr utilizes poetic elements to show that one event can
change one's life for forever. Orr uses imagery to show the reader that events can mentally scar one's memory, in which a person vividly remembers
that moment perfectly. To do this Orr uses lots of descriptive words and phrases that bring the reader to visualize the scene of the poem. An example
is, "the dark stain already seeping across his parka hood"(2). The speaker has this image implanted in his mind, because it is the first thing that he
sees right after he has shot his brother. As one reads this line, they can picture the image of blood seeping through the material of the hood in their
mind, making them feel as if they are standing there with him. In addition, Orr uses the imagery of death throughout the poem. By writing, "In the
bowl, among the vegetable chunks / pale shapes of the alphabet bobbed at random or lay in the shallow spoon" (15–17). The speaker is visualizing the
pale deceased

Sampling Methods Essay
Sampling is the framework on which any form of research is carried out. A suitable sample that meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria of a research
design must be chosen from a given population to carry out studies. In this essay comparison is made between stratified random sampling and
convenience sampling. The population on which the researcher is interested in carrying out his or her research may be too large, therefore a suitable
sample which can represent the population in correct proportion must be chosen. Restraints such as limitation of time, resources and many other factors
necessitate the selection of a sample for research purpose so that better quality data is obtained from it and that the researcher can make statement about

The methodological strength and weaknesses of this two sampling methods is discussed in terms of identifying the samples for research, the
representativeness it possesses to the general population, the methods and the outcome. Stratified random sampling is a probability sampling where the
selection of sampling unit is left to a random process, all units in the sample has an equal and non–zero chance of being selected on a probability
ground or chance and not on the choice or judgement of the researcher (Sim,J and Wright,C. 2000,). Convenience sampling is an example of non
probability sampling where the selection of the units is not by chance, rather it is dependent on the researcher's judgement, the researcher decides the
samples to be included in the study which may be subject to availability, time, individual preferences etc. The probability of selection of a particular
sampling unit may or may not be known. Stratified random sampling is commonly done in quantitative researches. When the samples reflect the
characteristics of the target population in the same proportion; assumptions can be made on generalizing the data acquired from these samples provided
it has been done correctly, since it is statistically representative (Sim,J and wright,C.,2000) but sampling error

Essay about My Core Values

Example Essay
My Core Values
As I have grown as an adult and moved further towards success in my life, I have always maintained a guided structure to achieve goals and tasks
that challenge me. I call these my "Core Values". This is a strict regimen or a belief system that I have instilled into my everyday practice to complete
any task that presents itself. Although not perfected, I have found this method to be quite successful. My work ethic, responsibility, and my drive to
further my education and knowledge have never failed me. Life can seem tough and demanding on a very consistent basis, but I believe that I have
cultivated a plan to accommodate and withstand any trial
The first...show more content...
To build responsibility as a child I volunteered to take care of my family dog. Even though she was the family's pet I took it upon myself to make sure
she was properly fed, watered, and walked. My mother was very proud of my new development as an adolescent. She became very encouraging and
would come up with other special chores around the house that I could be relied upon to handle. To some children this would seem like a
punishment, but both of my parents were so supportive and persuasive that I looked forward to having the gained accountability. My father
instituted honesty and respect as monuments for responsibility. I of course struggled at times with taking care of my dog, and handling some of
my other chores. But my father always wanted me to not only be honest with my parents, but also with myself. He stated that a lie would not
benefit anybody and it was disrespectful to tell a lie. He would tell me that a liar was the same as a cheater, and nobody liked either. If I knew how
to respect others and be honest, than my responsibility would only increase. I asked why I would want added responsibility and my father told me
two things that changed my perspective completely. First, it was that responsible people always tended to be more successful. Since I had always
dreamed of growing up to be rich and famous, I guess I could accept the added responsibility. The second thing he told me was that one day I could

Essay about Sampling
Sampling
Carrying out a survey of every single potential consumer (known as population) of a firm's product would be impractical, time–consuming and costly.
Businesses still, however, need to collect enough primary data to have a clear idea of the views of consumers. This can be done by taking a sample of
the population. This sample group should be made up of consumers that are representative of all potential buyers of the product. There are a number of
ways in which a sample can be chosen.
Random Sampling
This method gives each member of a group an equal chance of being chosen. In other words, the sample is selected at random, rather like picking
numbers out of a hat. Today computers can...show more content...
So, if the business was interested in how 'class' affected consumers' demand for a food product, it might divide the population up into different class
groups, such as working class males, middle class females etc. A random sample could then be chosen from each of these groups by making sure that
they were the same proportions of the sample in each category as in population as a whole. So if the population had 10 per cent upper class males, so
would the sample.
Quota Sampling
This sampling method involves the population being segmented into a number of groups which share specific characteristics. These may be based
on the age and the sex of the population. Interviewers are then given targets for the number of people out of each segment who they must interview.
For example, and interviewer may be asked to interview 10 males between the ages of 18 and 25, or 15 females between the ages of 45 and 60. Once
the target is reached, no more people from that group are interviewed. The advantage of this sampling method is that it can be cheaper to operate than
many of the others. It is also useful where the proportions of the different groups within the population are known. However, results from quota
sampling are not statistically representative of the population and are not randomly chosen. They must therefore be treated with caution.
Cluster Sampling
This involves
