The document provides guidance on analyzing common themes across multiple literary works. It suggests focusing on elements like plot, conflict, tone, images, symbols, and overall summary to reinforce the central theme. These elements should be discussed in a structured essay using topic sentences and paragraphs to introduce how each component supports the overarching thesis about a universal theme found in all of the works.

Literature Essays: Analyzing a common theme in several works
What can we use that is common in nearly every work that will
help us reinforce one common theme? (Ex. Freedom and
Confinement)
Analyzing theme always involves generalizations and
abstractions. There are universal themes that can be found in
countless works of literature, such as love and hate, good and
evil, innocence and experience, communication and isolation,
life and death, society and the individual. A story or poem may
be about a specific love affair, for example; it is easy to say the
general subject is love, but interpreting the theme involves
explaining what the work says about love. You can find
commonality of theme in the works you are analyzing by using
the following:
· Plot - What are the actions or events of the narrative and how
are they presented? How do they relate to your theme? What are
the most important traits of the main characters? How does their
behavior reinforce the theme you are analyzing? Does the
author support their views or is he a distant observer forcing
you to judge them?
Introductory Paragraph
You can use plot components almost like anecdotes to support
your theme (thesis statement)
Thesis Statement

· Conflict - What conflicts are dramatized? Are
they internalconflicts (within the minds of people) or external
conflicts (between individuals or between people and the
world)? How do these relate to the theme you are analyzing?
Topic sentence that alludes to your thesis statement and
introduces conflicts that support your theme
Conflicts in the works that support your theme
Summarize your conflicts and mention that a discussion of tone
is coming
· Tone - What is the prevailing tone of each work? That is, what
attitudes toward the subject are conveyed by the narrator's
choice of words? Is the subject presented in a manner that is
serious, satirical, playful, condescending, etc.? Does the tone
support the theme you are analyzing?
Topic sentence that alludes to your thesis statement and
introduces common tones in the works that support your theme
Elements of tone in the works that support your theme
Summarize the tone of each work and mention that a discussion
of images is coming
· Images - Are there repeated images, or groups of related
images in the work (e.g., various kinds of light and dark
images)? If so, what is the significance of these patterns?

Topic sentence that alludes to your thesis statement and
introduces images
in each of the works that support your theme
Images in the works that support your theme
Summarize the images of each work and mention that a
discussion of symbols is coming
· Symbols - Are the symbols conventional, familiar ones (e.g., a
rose symbolizing love, a cross representing Christianity). Do
the symbols contained in the works you are analyzing support
the theme in each of these works?
Topic sentence that alludes to your thesis statement and
introduces symbols in each of the works that support your theme
Symbols in the works that support your theme
Summarize the symbols of each work and mention that your
summary is coming
· Summary - What ideas are implied by the total impression of
the whole work?
Sometimes theme is revealed only when the work is viewed as a
whole. Is your theme present in all the works? Do the authors
use predominantly emotional, logical or ethical appeals? Are we

able to draw a conclusion(s) about life and its meaning as a
result of analyzing these works?

2 Guide to Writing a Formal Analysis Description: A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object (2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer) (3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement/theme that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper. Format for the Paper: Two pages, double-spaced, 10 or 12 pt font, 1” borders. Make sure you proofread your papers for adhering to the information listed above, as well as incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors. In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include: •the name of the artist (if known), title (which is underlined or italicizedevery time you use the title in your paper), date •what you think is the subject •a very brief description of the work •thesis statement - usually the last line or so of your first paragraph. From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the piece, but especially those details of the work that have led you to come to your conclusion. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper by pulling your threads together in a conclusion that in some way bears a relationship with your stated theme. NO RESEARCH IS TO BE USED IN THIS PAPER. In other words, you are strictly relying on your ability to visually ‘read’ a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Remember too that your analysis should not be just a mechanical, physical description. Please use descriptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general description of the work, and then move on to ...

An Explication is a complete and detailed analysis of a work of literature, often proceeding word-by-word or line-by-line through the work. For this paper, you will be writing an explication of a poem. You may choose any of the poems we have read or a song. You may also choose any poem you like from an anthology. Technical Requirements for Explication: · The paper must be typed and double-spaced, conforming to proper MLA format. · The paper must be at least two full (2) pages. · This is not a research essay; therefore, you will not (and should not) use outside sources. · Be sure to know when the essay is due. No late papers will be accepted. In the Explication you will be presenting your "reading" of the poem you have chosen. Such a reading will require you to understand all aspects of the poem and to have a grasp of the meaning of individual parts of the poem in relation to the entire work. You are not, however, striving to be exhaustive in your "explanation" of the poem, but rather you should strive to be selective in considering only those details that are significant to your own thematic understanding of the poem. Some general questions to consider when writing about Poetry: 1. What does the title contribute to the reader's understanding of the poem? 2. Who is the speaker? Where is the speaker when the poem is happening? 3. Is it possible to determine the speaker's age, sex, sensibilities, level of awareness, and values? 4. What is the situation? What has happened in the past, or what is happening in the present, that has brought about the speech/poem? 5. Is there a specific setting of time and place? 6. Is the speaker addressing anyone in particular? 7. How do you respond to the speaker? Favorably? Negatively? Are there any special circumstances that inform what the speaker says? 8. Does reading the poem aloud help you to understand it better? 9. Does a paraphrase reveal the basic purpose of the poem? 10. What is the theme/meaning of the poem? Is the theme of the poem presented directly or indirectly? What detials make possible the formulation of the main idea? 11. Do any allusions enrich the poem's meaning? What references need explaining? How does an explanation assist in the understanding of the poem? 12. What difficult, special, or unusual words does the poem contain? How does the diction reveal meaning? Are any words repeated? do any carry evocative connotative meanings? Are there any puns or other forms of verbal wit? 13. Are figures of speech used? How does the figurative language contribute to the poem's vividness and meaning? 14. Do any objects, persons, places, events, or actions have allegorical or symbolic meanings? What other details in the poem support your interpretation? 15. Is irony used? Are there any examples of situational irongy, verbal irony, or dramatic irony? Is understatement or paradox used? 16. What is the tone of the poem? Is the tone consistent? 17. Does the poem use onomatopoeia, assonance, consonance, or al.

Visual Hermeneutics: Rockwell's "Triple Self Portrait"

DIDLS: The Key to TONE Diction - the connotation of the word choice What words does the author choose? Consider his/her word choice compared to another. Why did the author choose that particular word? What are the connotations of that word choice? Images - vivid appeals to understanding through the senses - concrete language What images does the author use? What does he/she focus on in a sensory (sight, touch, taste, smell, etc.) way? The kinds of images the author puts in or leaves out reflect his/her style? Are they vibrant? Prominent? Plain? NOTE: Images differ from detail in the degree to which they appeal to the senses. Details - facts that are included or those that are omitted What details are does the author choose to include? What do they imply? What does the author choose to exclude? What are the connotations of their choice of details? PLEASE NOTE: Details are facts or fact-lets. They differ from images in that they don't have a strong sensory appeal. Language - the overall use of language, such as formal, clinical, jargon What is the overall impression of the language the author uses? Does it reflect education? A particular profession? Intelligence? Is it plain? Ornate? Simple? Clear? Figurative? Poetic? Make sure you don't skip this step. Sentence Structure - how structure affects the reader's attitude What are the sentences like? Are they simple with one or two clauses? Do they have multiple phrases? Are they choppy? Flowing? Sinuous like a snake? Is there antithesis, chiasmus, parallel construction? What emotional impression do they leave? If we are talking about poetry, what is the meter? Is there a rhyme scheme? DICTION: Laugh: guffaw, chuckle, titter, giggle, cackle, snicker, roar Self-confident: proud, conceited, egotistical, stuck-up, haughty, smug, condescending House: home, hut, shack, mansion, cabin, home, residence Old: mature, experienced, antique, relic, senior, ancient Fat: obese, plump, corpulent, portly, porky, burly, husky, full-figured IMAGES: The use of vivid descriptions or figures of speech that appeal to sensory experiences helps to create the author's tone. My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun. (restrained) An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king. (somber, candid) He clasps the crag with crooked hands. (dramatic) Love sets you going like a fat gold watch. (fanciful) Smiling, the boy fell dead. (shocking) DETAILS: Details are most commonly the facts given by the author or speaker as support for the attitude or tone. The speaker's perspective shapes what details are given and which are not. LANGUAGE: Like word choice, the language of a passage has control over tone. Consider language to be the entire body of words used in a text, not simply isolated bits of diction. For example, an invitation to a wedding might use formal language, while a biology text would use scientific and clinic.

Writing about Art Art is a provocative medium, and your challenge in writing about art may often be to define and evaluate the artist’s choices and techniques, which, according to your intellect and perception, arouse interest and convey meaning. In most cases, then, you will be translating the visual (what you see, or observe) into language (what you write). In order to do this, you will have to be extremely attentive to the characteristics of the work—your observations. This means that your description will incorporate a large portion of your essay. Remember to be attentive to the vocabulary of the discipline of Art. I f you do not know what a word means, better not to use it. You must also be able to develop a thesis statement with a detailed analysis and argument about the artwork you have chosen. Therefore, you must consider what it is you want to say, and use description to make that point. In many ways, writing an Art History essay is similar to writing other types of essays in the Humanities. It requires a clear and focused topic, an arguable thesis, an organized format and structure, clear and coherent paragraphs, and a command of grammar and style. Comparison and Contrast In many beginning Art History courses, and in more advanced ones as well, you will be asked to write a paper in which you make a comparison and contrast between two works of art. This type of essay usually requires a substantial comparative judgment of the two works, which will function as your thesis statement. One option for a thesis statement for this kind of comparative essay could be based on how you see the two works in relation to each other and to some aspect of the human condition, or culture, or history. It could be, for example, that both artists painted peasants working in a field, but one painting suggests the oneness of humans and nature, perhaps because the figures appear to be an integral part of the field in which they are working, while the other painting emphasizes the separation between humans and nature. The evidence you provide for your thesis will include your interpretation, analysis, and description of the characteristics of both works, and must at all times relate to your thesis. For example, if you are discussing horizontality or verticality, you need to first accurately and clearly describe these elements in both works and then evaluate how these visual orientations demonstrate the validity of your thesis concerning humans as a part of nature or separate from it. Unless the assignment specifies a work-by-work approach, it is usually best that you do not divide the paper into two discrete sections: a discussion of one work of art followed by a discussion of the other. Instead, each paragraph can include discussion of both works in relation to a particular element or a well thought-out combination of elements, such as color and texture. The point of comparison or contrast that each paragraph makes must, remember, .

Tie up all the things you've learned this semester: When you write your essay, I want you to think about the chapter elements that apply to your poem and to your essay approach. Use the checklist to help you! Can you spot stories under the water of the obvious island in the poem? Do you have a poem where characters develop? Is the beginning is a feature to notice? Is the poem painting a picture? Obviously, not all those points apply to every poem choice. Pick a poem you want to tackle, then dig for what of those four points you think you can address. Rearrange them in your essay so you have an introduction that invites readers to be interested. Make some points for readers to consider, then wrap up the essay with something we readers should remember about your poem choice--and maybe you can find a twist of thinking for readers: a bit of the author's own words on the poem? a bit of world history that applies? something happening today that could have easily been the same sort of subject? One warning, poetry tempts writers into including moral lessons. Be careful not to tell us what we must learn from the poem you write about. Describe it fully, analyze what is there, and avoid what isn't. If you do that well, a reader can see the lesson to be learned without you needing to tell us what to think. _______________________________________________________________________________________ √ Checklist: Getting Ideas for Writing Arguments about Poems If you are going to write about a short poem (say, under thirty lines), it’s not a bad idea to copy out the poem, writing or typing it double-spaced. By writing it out you will be forced to notice detail, down to the punctuation. After you have copied the poem, proofread it carefully against the original. Catching and error—even the addition or omission of a comma—may help you to notice a detail in the original that you might otherwise have overlooked. And now that you have the poem with ample space between the lines, you have a worksheet with room for jottings. A good essay is based on a genuine response to a poem; a response may be stimulated in part by first reading the poem aloud and then considering the following questions. First Response o What was your response to the poem on first reading? Did some parts especially please or displease you, or puzzle you? After some study—perhaps checking the meanings of some words in a dictionary and reading the poem several times—did you modify your initial response to the parts and to the whole? Speaker and Tone o Who is the speaker? (Consider age, sex, personality, frame of mind, and tone of voice.) Is the speaker defined precisely (for instance, an older woman speaking to a child), or is the speaker simply a voice meditating? (Jot down your first impressions, then reread the poem and make further jottings, if necessary.) o Do you think the speaker is fully aware of what he or she is saying, or does the speaker unconsciously reveal his o.

Exploration of one or more characteristic(s) of an author's style and approach Consider analyzing the author's use of imagery or setting: Analyzing Setting “Setting refers to the natural or artificial scenery or environment in which characters in literature live and move. Seeing also includes what in the theater would be called props or properties—the implements employed by the characters in various activities. Such things as the time of day and the consequent amount of light at which an event occurs, the flora and fauna, the sounds described, the smells, and the weather are also part of the setting. Paintbrushes, apples, pitchforks, rafts, six-shooters, watches, automobiles, horses and buggies, and innumerable other items belong to the setting. References to clothing, descriptions of physical appearance, and spatial relationships among the characters are also part of setting.” (Edgar V. Roberts, Writing Themes about Literature) In order to create an argument about the function of the setting in a particular work, you need to identify the principal settings and to see how they work. Here are some steps you can take: 1) Read the story and mark references to setting. Start with the place and time of the action and then focus upon recurrent details and objects. 2) Think about what the story is about. What happens? What is its point? Is it a story about love, jealousy, gain, or loss? What is the main experience here? 3) Look through your setting notes and see if they fall into any pattern. What are the interesting shifts and contrasts? 4) Determine how the setting relates to either the main point of the story (step 2) or to some part of it. In other words what does the setting have to do with character or action? What are its effects? Whatever you decide here will be your thesis statement. 5) Make an outline, indicating what aspects of setting you will discuss and what you intend to say about them. Discard notes that are not central to your plan (you don’t have to discuss everything). Focus on the four or five key passages in the story that you wish to examine. List them in your outline in the order in which they occur. Analyzing Imagery As distinct from character, theme, and plot, imagery occurs primarily in language, in the metaphors (i.e. comparisons), similes (comparisons with “like” or “as”), or other forms of figurative (pictorial) language in a literary work. Sometimes setting, i.e., the locality or placing of scenes, or stage props (like swords, flowers, blood, winecups) can also be considered under the rubric of imagery. But whatever the expression, images primarily are visual and concrete, i.e., things which the reader sees or can imagine seeing. Some examples are flowers, tears, animals, the moon, sun, stars, diseases, floods, metals, darkness and light. In order to create an argument about the significance of an image in a particular work, identify a principal image or image cluster and to see how it works by following the.

1 WRITING ABOUT ART Art is a provocative medium, and your challenge in writing about art may often be to define and evaluate the artist’s choices and techniques, which, according to your intellect and perception, arouse interest and convey meaning. In most cases you will be translating the visual (what you see) into language (what you write).

Therefore, you must consider what it is you want to say, and use description to make that point. In many ways, writing an Art History essay is similar to writing other types of essays in the Humanities. It requires a clear and focused topic, an arguable thesis, an organized format and structure, clear and coherent paragraphs, and a command of grammar and style. Thesis Statement Most academic essays seek to persuade readers to understand a specific issue in a specific way—the writer’s way. The writer’s thesis statement offers this substantial but concise assertion of her/his understanding (usually in one to two sentences in the introduction or near the beginning of the essay), thereby providing an essay with its judgmental focus. Perhaps, though, in writing about art you might want to offer a well thought-out central idea rather than an overtly argumentative statement. For example, “African art was a major influence on the work of Pablo Picasso” states a well-documented and widely shared opinion that is interesting but uncontroversial. Of course, a paper on this topic would have to fully elaborate on that relationship and offer examples of it. The difference between an idea and a thesis statement is in their degree of contention. The above example of a central idea could be debatable, but mainly the disagreement would arise if the writer does not adequately explain and illustrate the idea through detailed description, intelligent criticism, and analysis, and not because of the idea itself. However, in a thesis statement—such as, “Picasso’s treatment of women in his art mirrors the distorted vision he had of women in general”—it is more obvious that readers will either strongly disagree or agree, by the very nature of the claim itself. Moreover, even if the writer advances a stimulating argument with impressive evidence in defense of the thesis, because the claim is so contentious, a reader may still disagree. Using Sources A good research paper often includes evidence from both primary and secondary sources. Whether you are using primary or secondary sources, remember to explain and analyze the passages that you have chosen from the texts (or elements you have chosen from the works), and what th.

And now that you have the poem with ample space between the lines, you have a worksheet with room for jottings. A good essay is based on a genuine response to a poem; a response may be stimulated in part by first reading the poem aloud and then considering the following questions. First Response o What was your response to the poem on first reading? Did some parts especially please or displease you, or puzzle you? After some study—perhaps checking the meanings of some words in a dictionary and reading the poem several times—did you modify your initial response to the parts and to the whole? Speaker and Tone o Who is the speaker? (Consider age, sex, personality, frame of mind, and tone of voice.) Is the speaker defined precisely (for instance, an older woman speaking to a child), or is the speaker simply a voice meditating? (Jot down your first impressions, then reread the poem and make further jottings, if necessary.) o Do you think the speaker is fully aware of what he or she is saying, or does the speaker unconsci.

Exploration of one or more characteristic(s) of an author's style and approach Consider analyzing the author's use of imagery or setting: Analyzing Setting “Setting refers to the natural or artificial scenery or environment in which characters in literature live and move. Seeing also includes what in the theater would be called props or properties—the implements employed by the characters in various activities. Such things as the time of day and the consequent amount of light at which an event occurs, the flora and fauna, the sounds described, the smells, and the weather are also part of the setting. Paintbrushes, apples, pitchforks, rafts, six-shooters, watches, automobiles, horses and buggies, and innumerable other items belong to the setting. References to clothing, descriptions of physical appearance, and spatial relationships among the characters are also part of setting.” (Edgar V. Roberts, Writing Themes about Literature) In order to create an argument about the function of the setting in a particular work, you need to identify the principal settings and to see how they work. Here are some steps you can take: 1) Read the story and mark references to setting. Start with the place and time of the action and then focus upon recurrent details and objects. 2) Think about what the story is about. What happens? What is its point? Is it a story about love, jealousy, gain, or loss? What is the main experience here? 3) Look through your setting notes and see if they fall into any pattern. What are the interesting shifts and contrasts? 4) Determine how the setting relates to either the main point of the story (step 2) or to some part of it. In other words what does the setting have to do with character or action? What are its effects? Whatever you decide here will be your thesis statement. 5) Make an outline, indicating what aspects of setting you will discuss and what you intend to say about them. Discard notes that are not central to your plan (you don’t have to discuss everything). Focus on the four or five key passages in the story that you wish to examine. ...

Dr. C. Carney Essay # 2: Literary Analysis of a Short Story with Light Research This assignment requires you to analyze a work of fiction from my list of options (see link on Canvas assignment page). This essay requires you to develop a focused and opinioned thesis about the story, as this assignment is not asking you to write a mere “book report” which is only a re-telling of the story. It also requires you to find and use three sources to support your ideas: one source that needs to be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal in literature that pertains to the story and/or the author (this source must be obtained through the HCC library databases) AND another source (website preferably) that DOES NOT pertain directly to the story nor to the author, but rather to the theme presented in your thesis statement and discussed throughout your essay (you cannot pursue this second source until you’ve established your thesis and know what “angle” you are pursuing) AND a third source that is entirely your choice. I. The Purpose of a Literary Analysis: A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. This kind of analysis analysis, like any analysis, is just that: ANALYTICAL! It is intended to reveal and/or explain meaning. Thus, the assumption is that meaning exists, and it is the job of a (close/active) reader to ferret it out and offer a response to it! Far from being a mere summary, it is an argument, essentially, about the work that expresses the essay writer’s personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation. This is accomplished by examining the literary devices, word choices, or writing structures the author uses within the work first, followed by a critical analysis of content. Another purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message. II. How to Create a Literary Analysis: 1. Select (and ideally print) one of the stories listed on my Learning Web page (linked on the Canvas assignment page for this essay assignment). The stories listed here are the only acceptable stories for this assignment, and they are all in full text so there’s no need to find them elsewhere. 2. Read the text closely at least a couple of times. Focus on the ideas that are being presented. Think about the characters’ development and the author’s writing technique. What might be considered interesting, unusual, or important? 3. Brainstorm a list of potential topics. Highlight important passages in the text and take notes on these passages. Think of the ideas/concepts that strike you as you read. Later, when writing the paper, these notes should help a writer to .

Our entire existence grows richer and deeper.” (Sporre, 2009, p. 2). From your studies, you have seen how culture, societal norms, belief systems, and past experiences affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of the overall human experience. Whether analytical skills are applied to a task at work, or a humanistic point of view enables us to grasp an issue from another angle, these methods of looking at the world help us become more aware of our perceptions and provide a deeper and more meaningful existence. In this task, you will analyze and interpret three creative works from three separate disciplines of the humanities using methods of subjective and objective analysis. Objective statements are based on simple observations and concrete information. Subjective statements are based on personal opinions, judgments, and feelings. These standard methods of analysis will enable you to critically view and interpret works from the humanities. You will use analytical and critical thinking skills to assess how meaning is constructed and imparted to a viewer or audience and will communicate your thoughts in a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote). While the content of your presentation will focus on analyzing, interpreting, comparing, and contrasting three creative works from separate disciplines, your overarching goal will be to explain how the three works you analyze demonstrate the value of the humanities in meaningful ways. Background: Develop a multimedia presentation in which you analyze three creative works from three separate disciplines in the humanities. You will need to select works that share a common theme. This theme must relate to a profession within your field of study at WGU. You will share with your audience how being knowledgeable about the humanities and your selected theme is valuable in regards to this profession. First you must choose one literary work from the given list below. Choose a literary work that has a theme that resonates with you and consider how this theme connects with your chosen profession. Every profession within your field of study at WGU (Business, IT, Nursing or Teaching) will have humanistic considerations. For example, a civil rights lawyer may be concerned with the theme of freedom, a firefighter with determination, a social worker with compassion, or an engineer with integrity. It is the intent of this task to explore the major themes of the humanities and their relevance to our professional lives. Once you have selected a literary work, you will need to select two non-literary works from separate disciplines that share the same theme as the literary work you have selected. Your presentation will show how all.

If all contact with the population is through an interpreter, what sorts of bias might arise in the data collection? 2. What was the outcome of the author’s visit to #104’s compound? What had happened to the child since her last visit several years earlier? Why did the author use numbers to refer to people in her study, instead of their names?

Answer the bottom questions in apa format and decent answer no short answer please. Subaru's Sales Boom Thanks to the Weaker Yen For the Japanese carmaker Subaru, a sharp fall in the value of yen against the U.S. dollar has turned a problem—the lack of U.S. production—into an unexpected sales boom. Subaru, which is a niche player in the global auto industry, has long bucked the trend among its Japanese rivals of establishing significant manufacturing facilities in the North American market. Instead, the company has chosen to concentrate most of its manufacturing in Japan in order to achieve economies of scale at its home plants, exporting its production to the United States. Subaru still makes 80 percent of its vehicles at home, compared with 21 percent for Honda. Back in 2012, this strategy was viewed as something of a liability. In those days, one U.S. dollar bought only 80 Japanese yen. The strong yen meant that Subaru cars were being priced out of the U.S. market. Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota, which had substantial production in the United States, gained business at Subaru's expense. But from 2012 onward, with Japan mired in recession and consumer prices falling, the country's central bank repeatedly cut interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. As interest rates fell in Japan, investors moved money out of the country, selling yen and buying the U.S. dollar. They used those dollars to invest in U.S. stocks and bonds where they anticipated a greater return. As a consequence, the price of yen in terms of dollars fell. By December 2015, one dollar bought 120 yen, representing a 50 percent fall in the value of the yen against the U.S. dollar since 2012. For Subaru, the depreciation in the value of the yen has given it a pricing advantage and driven a sales boom. Demand for Subaru cars in the United States has been so strong that the automaker has been struggling to keep up. The profits of Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, have surged. In February 2015, Fuji announced that it would earn record operating profits of around ¥410 billion ($3.5 billion) for the financial year ending March 2015. Subaru's profit margin has increased to 14.4 percent, compared with 5.6 percent for Honda, a company that is heavily dependent on U.S. production. The good times continued in 2015, with Subaru posting record profits in the quarter ending December 31, 2015. Despite its current pricing advantage, Subaru is moving to increase its U.S. production. It plans to expand its sole plant in the United States, in Indiana, by March 2017, with a goal of making 310,000 a year, up from 200,000 currently. When asked why it is doing this, Subaru's management notes that the yen will not stay weak against the dollar forever, and it is wise to expand local production as a hedge against future increases in the value of the yen. Indeed, when the Bank of Japan decided to set a key interest rate below zero in early February 2016, the yen .

**ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTION 250 WORDS MIN** Discussion Questions: How should the United States government deal with the heightened concern about homegrown violent extremism and the growing concern for the preservation of civil liberties? What are the political and constitutional consequences of counter-terrorism? Lastly, how do we assess the tradeoffs between freedom and security? ***REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH*** 1. The United States government will always have to face the homegrown violent extremist because with the internet alone people are able to research just about anything and find their answers. The civil liberties are being violated because you have FBI and CIA looking into what people on doing on the webs. I personally believe that you gave up the right when you decided to goggle whatever it is you’re looking up. It’s also like social media site take Facebook for example people are willing to give up their rights so they can be on Facebook and be able to look or post whatever they want. But just like ever website the owner of that site has a right to delete what they don’t want on it as well. So why can’t the FBI/CIA look into and potentially stop a homegrown extremist from attacking the nation or even just attacking schools, churches, and retail stores like the mall or Wal-Mart. All these locations have had attacks from violent extremist when if they were being watched or monitored those attacks could have been stopped or at least less death could have occurred. From a political and constitutional stand point, consequences of counter-terrorism can vary. I political stand is to protect and preserve the freedom for the people. Protecting one’s Constitutional rights depends on what the politician’s plans on policies and procedures that could begin to take away those civil rights that were granted and give people the sense of freedom that the nation is built on. Policies and procedures can change everything take the mask wearing and social distancing for Covid-19, you have the people that are okay with it all and are following the rules but then you have the ones that have been protesting or fighting people over the fact that they don’t want to wear a mask. To me personally it’s simple to wear a mask but to others it’s a reason of rights being taken away by mandating it. Working for the military and DHS I personally don’t see freedom and security as a tradeoff. If agencies do their jobs correctly and protect the United States and National Security then freedom wouldn’t be at stake. I believe in freedom but the security measures in place are to help protect that freedom, without the security measures the nation would be under attack like 9/11 or worse. 2. The internal terrorist threat in the United States is operational and complicated, with continuing threats from extreme left- and right-wing extremist groups and radicalization and recruitment efforts by international terrorist groups. Since Sept/11, our.
