It was roughly five fifteen in the morning when the sun began to crest its golden crown over the
awakening Hudson River and the far off New Jersey Palisades. A starless night sky seemed
deliberately transformed with pink, orange, purple and red gauzy stripes, casting a warm wash over
the sleeping earth. I gazed skyward as I stood near the medieval bell tower at the Cloisters, and my
eyes reflected the awe–inspiring beauty. That dawn was one of many, when I found myself tramping
deliberately up the forested hills of Fort Tryon Park. As I stood at the summit, I inhaled the sanctity
of my surroundings and felt my soul being cleansed by the peaceful soundscape. Gazing at the vast

Case Analysis; Bank of America Acquisition of Merrill Lynch
Executive summary
Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch in 2008. There were challenges that followed the
acquisition. The following paper is an analysis of some of the challenges that transpired at the time.
There is the statement of the problem and a proposition on how the management can handle it. The

problems. There are the recommendations of how to permanently solve those problems at the end of
the paper (Grant, 2016).
Background
Between the 13th and 14th of September 2008, the Bank of America and Merrill Lynch entered a
deal which would see the former acquire the latter. It was one of the biggest deals to have ever
happened in the corporate world. Despite the signing of the deal, there was a host of problems that
followed it (Davis, 2008). There are questions that emerged later, and they still demand answers.
The current paper seeks to identify the problems that emerged as a result of the acquisition and
propose solutions.
Statement of the problem
Unhappy and unsatisfied employees of the two entities who feel they were not involved. Angry
shareholders who want an explanation as to why things are the way they are. They do not
understand why the share price is falling in the stock market (Davis, 2008).
The main cause of the problem was the hasty acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Both the employees of
the two entities

Alfred As The Master Of Suspense In The Climbing Frame Scene In The Film The Birds
'The Birds' is a film made in the 1960's based on the short story 'The Birds' by Daphne Du Maurier.
The film was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, a British born director who is known for other tense,
suspense filled films such as 'Psycho' and 'Vertigo'. Due to the extensive special effects of the film, it
took three years to make. During the film Hitchcock created several suspense filled, tense scenes.
Including the 'Climbing Frame' scene. Alfred Hitchcock tries to live up to his title 'The Master Of
Suspense' whilst creating scenes like this and the following essay looks at if he achieved this.

The weather is sunny and it is quiet. From this single camera shot we see Melanie in her car driving
down the road with the Bodega Bay School in the distance. Here, Hitchcock is trying to give the
impression that everything is normal. The sky is blue and the roads are clear. Nothing indicating
anything out of the ordinary is shown.
Melanie arrives at the school, parks her car and gets out. We hear young voices singing and innocent
children's song. We can see, with the camera behind Melanie, her car and the entrance of the Bodega
Bay School Melanie walks up the stairs and enters the school.
The sound in this early part of the scene is very direct –by the means of everything is given to the
audience. We ear the young children's voices singing an innocent school song. Immediately, when
we hear the young children singing it gives the children naivety, by using the song as a symbol of
innocence.
As she opens the door of the school we find out it is the school children who are singing this song.
Melanie opens the inner door of the school and volume of the song increases. This increases the
symbolism of innocence on the children.
When Melanie looks into the classroom, she distracts a few children from their singing. Melanie
looks up, and we see Annie – the schoolteacher at the front of the class directing the children. Annie

Personal Narrative : Effortless Driving
Surviving birth
Life in the womb was getting tiring for a certain fetus. "Soon to be expected" was considered too
long of a wait for her. One January day, Jessica decided it was time to pop out of the womb. This
caused many complications between her mother and her. She was born premature and had trouble
breathing. She was kept in an intensive care unit for a couple of days. After a week she was healthy
and able to go home to meet her family.
Confidence
As little Jessica began to go to school, she was somewhat introverted. Fellow pupils were gravitated
towards her. She was considered popular, although she rarely spoke. One day she convinced her
parent to let her join cheerleading. In cheer, you have to have confidence on the floor, in the field,
and in front of hundreds of people. This forced her to come out of her shell and made her feel self–
assured. This led to Jessica to become comfortable with giving speeches in class and having random
conversations with strangers.
Effortless driving? Now at the age of sixteen, Jessica is ready to start learning how to drive. She was
always fascinated by how people drove and how they parked in narrow spaces. It's finally her turn to
be behind the wheel. The first time she drove on the road was pretty good and her vertical parking
was perfect. The real challenge was learning to parallel parking. Parallel parking was not her forte
on the first try. After taking a month break of parking; she tried again and managed to perfectly

I am twenty years old and currently attend Illinois Central College (ICC). I have a mother, a father,

got injured multiple times and could not continue participation in them. It was very difficult to go
through that, and it still is hard for me to contend with my injuries. After getting injured, my primary
focus became my grades and pushing myself to do the best as possible. During my last semester in

dramatically. It would be a financial burden for me to receive a bachelor's degree without a

Analysis Of The Article 'The Private Jessica Lynch' By...
The article "The Private Jessica Lynch" by Nancy Gibbs, from Time, is a retelling of Jessica's
capture. Jessica's strength and faith is admirable. Everything we take for granted is a victory for her.
Walking forty steps by herself is a victory. She was captured and beaten within an inch of her life,
yet her spirit remained unbroken. Jessica remained undefeated as she stood up against the media,
questioning every mistake made during her tour. She keeps her spirits high, for all those soldiers
who couldn't come home, who weren't given a chance to recover. Gibbs gave the world a new
perspective on Jessica Lynch, a view of the Jessica no one knew, the private version, the one that
was hidden away from years of being in the service, the version of herself that was reserved only for
her family and friends. The world met the real Jessica Lynch through this article. The author tried to
make Lynch by originally calling her Jessica, and then shifting her name to Jessi, giving her a more
human aspect. The author gathered her information from primary sources, such as Jessica and her
family. By using a primary source, her information is correct. She went right to the place where all
the action was happening, Jessica's hometown, Palestine. The author's most successful writing
strategies were visualization and description. Gibbs writes that, "Old women press ... Show more

Gibbs, showed the readers how incredibly strong, and courageous Lynch is. The author made it clear
that Jessica should be admired for her undeniable strength. She reports that, "Lynch spends at least

her she has a two–year window; after that, what has't healed probably won't," (Gibbs). Jessica Lynch
has an undeniable strength that most people don't possess even by

Summary Of The Glass Mengotie And The Glass Menagerie
"Free as a bird. It's the next best thing to be... What ever happened to the life we once knew? Always
made me feel so free!" This song, by the Beatles, shares the well known idea of being free as a bird.
Since the beginning of time, mankind has wondered what it would feel like to fly, to travel around
the world, and to be free. Humans have idolised the talents of birds for this reason. They can go
wherever, whenever, and always seem happy soaring through the sky at their own leisure. While
birds used to all roam free, now, approximately 3,700,000 of the 8,300,000 birds are being kept as
household pets in the United States according to www.avma.org. That's about 44% of the birds in
the United States that are kept in cages. Naturally, these birds yearn to fly free and be happy, but
instead they are trapped in tiny cages, or, for the lucky ones, some are thrown in a cage as big as a
living room television. This feeling of being trapped is how Tom Wingfield from The Glass
Menagerie and Mamie from the poem "Mamie" feel.
In the Glass Menagerie and the poem "Mamie," respectively, Tom Wingfield and Mamie both feel
trapped in their horrible, hated lives. All Tom and Mamie want is to be happy and feel free, but they
can't because they are trapped in their society's social disadvantages.
In the Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, Tom Wingfield is living the disadvantageous life of
the 1930s. At this time, the Great Depression has begun and WWII is on the way. Tom Wingfield, a

The Glass Menagerie
The Glass Menagerie – Amanda Wingfield If there is a signature character type that marks
Tennessee –Williams's dramatic work, it is undeniably that of the faded Southern belle. Amanda is a
clear representative of this type. In general, a Tennessee Williams faded belle is from a prominent
Southern family, has received a traditional upbringing, and has suffered a reversal of economic and
social fortune at some point in her life. Like Amanda, these women all have a hard time coming to
terms with their new status in society–and indeed, with modern society in general, which disregards
the social distinctions that they were taught to value. Their relationships with men and their families
are turbulent, and they staunchly defend the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Unlike them, she is convinced that she is not doing so and, consequently, is constantly making
efforts to engage with people and the world outside her family. Amanda's monologues to her
children, on the phone, and to Jim all reflect quite clearly her moral and psychological failings, but
they are also some of the most colorful and unforgettable words in the play. The essence of
Amanda's character is caught in her first speech. She seems to need to nag at her children, especially
Tom, and she is not even aware that she is nagging. Essentially, she must have something to talk
about, and she nags at Tom about little things because she fears that she has lost or is losing him as
far as the big things, the significant things, in life are concerned. Amanda's sense of unreality is
caught in these first episodes as she lives in a world of servants and gentlemen callers. Always her
language suggests another time and place. Note that all of Amanda's so–called gentlemen callers
either came from the wealthy or became wealthy. The question will arise as to whether she actually
had these callers or not. Amanda might have been somewhat popular, but it is almost inconceivable
to believe that she actually did have as many as seventeen gentlemen callers. But what is important
is that Amanda now believes this story so strongly that the gentlemen callers have become a reality
for her. The scene ends again on

Kubrick And Lynch On The Patriarchy
Kubrick and Lynch on the Patriarchy
Stanley Kubrick's great breadth of work spans over forty–eight years, and due to both his longevity
and skill, he has influenced filmmakers from several generations. Kubrick has been named as a
creative influence for a myriad of filmmakers, including Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Terry
Gilliam, the Coen Brothers and Christopher Nolan [2,3]. Kubrick presents sensitive events in an
unbiased manner, withholding an opinion on the topic. By not offering a resolution or a stance, he
forces viewers to see the evils of man objectively. There is usually no punishment for the morally
corrupt acts, because that offers a more accurate portrayal of reality. Characters often do not fully
develop in Kubrick films, again as if to replicate reality. These unsettling techniques have left a clear
impression on the filmmaker David Lynch. His films often share a sense of amorality that goes
unpunished or unaddressed. Their respective world views are equally cynical, criticizing
traditionalism in society.
Arguably one of the most consistent links between Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch is their
portrayal of women in film. Stanley Kubrick does not choose to emphasize the struggles of being a
woman in a patriarchal society. Instead, he shows women through the patriarchal gaze. In A
Clockwork Orange, women are literally objectified, as plastic statues of naked women are used as
coffee tables in the Korova Milk Bar. This introduces the viewers to the protagonist,

Women in Combat
"I 'm an American soldier too"
Can a woman handle fighting in combat? Should women be able to come face to face with the
enemy? Will women be able to control their emotions and take the horror that war inflicts? Should
women be grateful that they are not included in such a terrible thing as combat, or is it wrong to
exclude them just because they are women? I say if a woman chooses this kind of challenge, then
she is more than capable.
During the daring rescue of prisoner of war Jessica Lynch from an Iraqi hospital, the first
commando to reach Lynch identified himself as a United States soldier. The 19–year–old Army
private replied, "I 'm an American soldier, too."

If a woman is not taken seriously, then how could she possibly achieve a role of leadership?
Excuse No. 3: Women have an adverse effect on male bonding and cohesion in a unit. People were
afraid the women might fall in love, or even get pregnant. However, Time has shown that military
units of mixed sexes have quietly maintained order, accomplished missions, and passed operational
readiness inspections with flying colors. They 're too busy doing their jobs to worry about who uses
which latrine. Desert Storm is a classic example of mixed units performing as cohesive and effective
teams even under fire.
Excuse No. 4: Captured women possibly will be raped and tortured. Women who choose to join the
military are already fully aware of this possibility. They become informed and prepared before they
complete basic training. Every soldier understands that becoming a POW means the possibility of
abuse and torture. As the experiences of Lynch and Spec. Shoshanna Johnson highlight, keeping
women out of combat positions — both were with the 507th Maintenance Company when captured
— does not protect them from becoming POWs and possibly facing this danger. Rape, of course, is
not a torture restricted by gender, nor is the determination to withstand whatever the enemy dishes
out. The qualities that are most important in all military jobs, things like integrity, moral courage and
determination, have nothing to do with gender.

Film Analysis: Mulholland Drive
In this essay, I will offer up my analysis on the film Mulholland Drive directed by David Lynch. The
best way to describe this film would be that it is an enigma. I had no idea what to make of this film
on my first viewing. After watching the film a few more times I believe I cracked the code. Lynch is
known for not speaking about the meaning of his films. He believes you should interpret the film
like you would interpret a work of art. Now I shall delve deep into the nightmare noir that is
Mulholland Drive. Mulholland Drive's plot is about a woman named Diane Selwyn who is having
some sort of emotional breakdown. The reason why she is in this horrible state become clearer as

It involves two men that have nothing to do with Diane, but at the same time they have everything to
do with her. The two men are eating at a fictional diner named Winkie's. The man tells the other
about a recurring nightmare he's been having. It involves the two men sitting at the same Winkie's at
dusk or "half–night" as the man calls it. He tells his friend that in the dream, his friend is standing
over by the cashier while he is sitting down. He then says that he sees a horrifying face outside. He
prays he never sees outside of a dream. The friend then takes the man outside to get rid of his "god
awful feeling". As they approach the dumpster, the man sees the face of a horrifying hobo and then
falls down. It is implied that he suffered a heart attack. We never see those two men again, but the
hobo makes another appearance at the end. This sequence means that dreams can be a really good
thing, (Diane's dream of being an actress) but they can also get you killed or lead to pain and
misfortune. The hobo represents the

Critique Of Characters In Cobalt Blue By Sachin Kundalkar
I put down Sachin Kundalkar's Cobalt Blue a couple of days ago and the characters continue to
haunt me. Kundalkar has so vividly painted them into my mind that they seem to have made a home
for themselves in there. Over the next couple of days, I have found myself reaching out for the book,
re–reading paragraphs at random and with every read I feel like I have opened a whole new world. I
have been musing at the simplicity and the beauty of the story, and I have concluded that no review
could ever do justice to the gem that is this work.
Cobalt Blue was originally written and published in Marathi by Sachin Kundalkar when he was only
22 years old (his age is of no importance, until you put down the book and realise that someone
wrote a book so profound and meaningful when he was at the same age as you). For almost ten
years the book remained a treasure to only those who spoke Marathi, till Jerry Pinto, at Shanta
Gokhale's request translated it into English. A lot is lost in translation, a fact that is acknowledged by
Pinto in his afterword. However, Pinto took extra care to retain the essence of the novel, which is
something that those who are not fluent in Marathi would appreciate. Teresa Lavender Fagan,
translator, says, "A translator must absorb the essence of a work, feel the author's soul and do what
she can to minimize what must necessarily be lost. The paradox of translation: the desire to replicate
a work in one's own language while knowing it can never truly be

streets is gooey, slippery piles of white and black poop, but is there a solution of some of the maney
problems caused by this epidemic. In the article "The Great Bird Poop Disaster" it talks about how
there are a lot of problems that are caused by bird poop, one is that it has acid in it so it is corrosive.
In the article, it says "At the center of a bird dropping is a black substance; that is poop. The white,
gloppy stuff is the urine, which consists mainly of uric acid. Uric acid is corrosive. That means it
can eat away at the surfaces of buildings and bridges. Bird poop can also ruin everything from the
paint on your mom's car to your favorite T–shirt. In the U.S., pigeons cause about $1.1 billion in
damages every year." (Starecheski 18). This shows that this isn't just a little inconveniences, no it's a
big deal that if it is not fixed soon the U.S will be deeper in debt than bird poop. This is why
squinted across the world are trying to find a solution to this problem that spreads across the world.
In the article "How to Solve the Problem of Bird Poop" It talks about some of the solutions that we
have tried and some that we still use to try to get some of the birds to leave. In the article, it says

of the Netflix originals is the show Stranger Things. Part of the appeal is nostalgia; like Happy Days
before it, the show is set in the childhood of the now middle–aged crowd. This group looks fondly at
this period in their lives, a sentiment reflected in the warm yellow–tinted lighting and the soundtrack
of 1980's Top 40. Another part of Stranger Things' appeal is the variety of elements to attract a
variety of viewers. While some may find the teenaged love triangle charming, others may be more
fond of the camaraderie between the boys or the overlying mystery. For such a good show, it does
have some flaws. One element that I believe is lacking,

PTL Club–The Harbinger of Things to Come?

examine these two cases from two perspectives. a. From the clients' side
The last straw which led to the demise of these two CPA firm were PTL club to L&H and
Enron to Anderson. PTL Club had a very weak internal control. As it is pointed out in the case,
whenever Jim Bakker needed money, he could just simply make a board member introduce a
resolution for a bonus. Auditors could not find necessary documents to support expenses and
revenue. Compensation was excessive far beyond the regulation of IRS. (Louwers, 867–872) Enron

In the PTL Club case, red flags were obvious which included but not limited to hazards internal
control, far–beyond–reasonable lavish lifestyle of Jim and Tammy, and secret account. These red
flags were enough to trigger an in–depth investigation or extensive auditing procedures. However,
nothing was done until Mr. Baker's extramarital tryst. In this case, the only way to prevent such
behavior is to keep to the 10 basic Auditing Standards and improve the ethical awareness of the
profession.
4) AU Section 560 defines Subsequent Events as "events or transactions occur subsequent to the
balance–sheet date, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, that has a material effect on
the financial statements and therefore require adjustment or disclosure in the statements."(AU
Section 560)
The time line of H&L's audit of PTL Club is: End of fiscal year (May 31, 1984), Audit
Completion Date (Dual dated as August 31, 1984 and October 24, 1984). Based on the timeline and
the above definition of subsequent events, I believe that it is a subsequent event. But whether
Deloitte needed to evaluate the sales occurring after the balance sheet date of May 31, 1984 depends
on the materiality of the over sales occurring during May 31, 1984 and October 24, 1984. It was said
that over sales occurred shortly after May 31, 1984. Then how big was the over sales between May
31, 1984 and October 24, 1984? Was the number material enough to subject to

Descriptive Essay About A Runaway Bird
The Runaway Bird
I stood there looking in through the bars on the cage, watching the birds fly around their cage. I
rested my hands on one of the metal bars on the cage as I watched my favorite bird, Sky , she was
the bird I got for my 12th birthday that year. Sky was a bird with blue feathers and white areas on its
stomach that looked like clouds. I loved to watch the birds play with each other. I was aloud to hold
them but I was not aloud to take them out of the cage without an adult around And my mom was
taking a nap. My mom has black curly hair and brown eyes. I stood there watching and listening to
the birds tweet, chirp, and play. I really wanted to hold one Sky to be exact. "I can hold Sky for a
few minutes and no one will know," I thought to myself, "I just have to be quiet and I can't tell
anyone." So I quickly scanned the room to make sure no one was there. As soon as I knew no one
was there I walked up to the cage. I put my hand on the cage lock and I looked up to find Sky so I
could get her. I slowly unlocked the cage and I quickly opened the door. As soon as I opened the
door a bird flew out. I shut the door as fast as I could and turned around panicking looking for the
bird. I searched every where and once I couldn't find it I panicked even more but just when I was
about to get up I heard a sound. CHIRP CHIRP. It was the bird sitting on top of the big, tall
bookcase.
I looked up at it panicking because the bookcase was too tall for me to reach the bird. I

Movie Analysis : Blue Velvet
The camera descends from a picture–perfect blue sky to a bed of red roses before a white picket
fence, opening with the lush colors of America. A fire engine rolls down an idyllic suburban street as
the firemen wave in slow–motion, a crossing guard directs schoolchildren, and a man waters his
front lawn, all to the tune of chirping birds and Bobby Vinton's romantic "Blue Velvet" song. This
could be the opening sequence to a convincing infomercial inviting American families to suburbia,
until something bizarre occurs. We close in on the man's hose mysteriously gargling and tangling,
and we witness him collapse from a brutal stroke. The camera then penetrates the slick grass and
reveals the teeming and voracious insects chewing away at a saturated version of small–town
America.
Lynch meets the conventions of Hollywood cinema within Blue Velvet, but transforms them all to
discover new truths. In what could have been a tired Hollywood cliché, the opening sequence
becomes a mutated vision of America with illness, insects, haunting noises, and a soundtrack
exploited of its innocence. A straightforward detective story, which could've been mistaken for
1950's film–noir, becomes a perverted exploration in which the detectives become participants in the
sordid underworld.
David Lynch's twisted use of visual motifs, as well as his disrupted narratives and dream logic easily
classify him as a surrealist, following in the tradition of Luis Buñuel or Salvador Dali. The severed

ATLANTA Critique
Ever heard of the show ATLANTA? Probably not, on the spectrum of things, it's a show on FX that
not many people knew about. And, if you did it was because Donald Glover was the main star of it.
Not to say that is the sole reason why people appreciated and watched the show, but it is a part of the
reason why.
Glover has not only played a part in COMMUNITY, but directed and produced the show itself. He
even has an "alter ego," as you would call it, called Childish Gambino who raps under the hip–hop
genre. Glover's life is in tip–top shape as far as his resume goes and he has had no issues with
finding a job. He recently, this year in fact, announced his new show ATLANTA. First thoughts
were confusing; the trailers did not tell much and maybe that was for the best thinking back on it
now.
The first episode premiered September 6th on FX at 9PM and from the beginning of the first
episode I knew this show was going to be something special. The show's minimalistic style, mixed
with the rap songs in the background make this show what it is. And, that is a minimalistic
masterpiece. The show adapted the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The vibes are esoteric, in a sense that you get something bad is going to happen or already has
happened in the show prior to you seeing it. TWIN PEAKS does this very well throughout, and
makes it known that a murder has taken place and something evil is lurking through the town.
ATLANTA makes a name for making this show about more than just race, and more than just being
black in America. This show depicts what it is to be an outcast, similarly to what TWIN PEAKS has
brought to the table in 1990. TWIN PEAKS brought to the table some of the most oddball characters
of the 90's, from Loglady (RIP) to Dale Cooper himself. These characters are well defined; however,
they also tell a story as well. What ATLANTA seems to accomplish just in the first episode of the

Jessica sat on the motel couch with her short legs dangling over the edge. She sat there watching
cartoons on the tv, which was secretly monitored by Cas. Jess's eyes brightened as soon as she heard
the door knob jiggle. Her uncle Dean stalked into the room and went straight to the mini fridge
without even a 'hey, kid'. Dean pulled out a beer. Sammy came in soon after. "Daddy!" Jess yelled,
then jumped off the bed to meet her father. Sam dropped his bags at the door and picked her up just
as she jumped into his arms. "Hi, sweetie!" He said and kissed her forehead. "You came back! Uncle
Dean and you were gone a LONG time!" Sam's mouth formed a slight frown. "I'm sorry, baby. We
had a BIG job. But it's all over now." He placed one more kiss on Jessica's head. Sam put his
daughter down. "Oh, guess what daddy!" She said. "What, sweetie?" He asked looking down at her.
"A nice lady came to visit while you were gone. She brought me ice cream!" Dean set his beer down
and turned around, giving Sammy a look, an "oh, shit" look. "What do you mean?" He asked in a
beyond concerned voice while crouching down to become eye level with his six year old, who put
her small hand up to her chin in her "thinking face". "She had brown hair, black eyes, and she said
her name was Ruby! She said you used to be friends, daddy." "She said her name was... Ruby?" Jess
nodded. "Yeah! She was really nice, daddy!" Sam looked over at his brother, Dean, who raised his

Lynch mob
After the news of the rustling of Drew's cattle and the murder of one of the rancher, Kinkaid, the
mob gets infuriated and decides to catch the culprit and hence, do justice. Though, aware of the
consequences of such posse, they agree to be a part of it because now they had someone to blame on
if something went wrong. There were people in the posse who opposed the lynching but any way
went ahead with due to the fear of rejection form the society or because they lacked the conscious to
keep a check on such an act.
Lynch mob as a literal concept is self–evident. Clark uses the mob as a form of criticism against the

He feels that law and justice are important to sustain a society and they must reflect the moral
conscience of the individuals. Conclusion The novel, The Ox Bow Incident, can be read at many
levels.
At one level, it deals with the inadequacies of the law in addressing to the question of justice and at
the same time highlights the importance of the law in a society as even in presence of inadequacies,
law is needed as it is better than a state of lawlessness.
Another interesting view put forth is that justice may not necessarily mean taking revenge and
punishing those who go against the society but it means that in doing so, the innocent must not
suffer and that every accused must be given an opportunity to fair trial and fair procedure in
determination of their guilt.
It also deals with the questions of morality and psychology of a person who assumes the position of
the judge while offering to judge the innocence or guilt of the accused and how the final holding is
affected by the subjective conscience of the

Part One of Red Rose and Pink Lips
Part One Of Red Roses and Pink Lips Taeyeon sunk herself into the waiting chair as she waited for
her turn to get styled. They had another photo shoot for Elle today, but somehow things moved
slower this time. There were no warm touches or cute giggles distracting her from all the waiting.
All she was left with was a makeup artist with a face too smug and unfriendly touches as she played
with the soft features of Taeyeon's skin, dabbing on the foundation a bit too roughly. She was left
alone with two other loud members in the dressing room, taking selcas of themselves, probably to be
posted online. Taeyeon resisted the urge to roll her eyes, not wanting to ruin her eye makeup. If
Tiffany was here, she would probably be taking selcas too, she thought. Tiffany is always taking
selcas. Either using her own phone or Taeyeon's. A soft smile quickly crept up at the curves of her
lips as she unlocked her phone, laughing at the display picture. It was a cross–eyed picture of a pre
debut Stephanie. Tiffany has beaten her over countless times to take down the picture, but it was too
precious. Her mischievous smile quickly turned into a bashful one as she remembered Tiffany
straddling her, revealing too much of her skin as she innocently tickled Taeyeon. "Kim Taeyeon, the
photographer's waiting for your close up shot." a bony woman called, pressing her lips into a
forceful smile. Taeyeon just answered with a curt nod before making her way to the set. Countless

Case Study: The Trial of Martha Stewart
Central Issue: Were Martha Stewart, Faneuil, and Peter Bacanovic actions of disclosing clients
confidential information and lying to the SEC proven to be ethical?
Recommended Course of Action: I recommend that Martha Stewart, Faneuil, and Peter Bacanovic
revisit Merrill Lynch Ethical Policy. That way they can better understand the meaning of employee
confidentiality and the security of client information. Also they can better establish the difference
between business professional and the friendship in which they had.
Basis for Recommendation: By familiarizing themselves with the ethical policy established by
Merrill Lynch, Martha Stewart, Faneuil and Peter Bacanovic would have been able to avoid the
course of action in which the case centered upon. It would have also prevented Martha Stewart from
having to pay the SEC, avoid the media frenzy and Peter Bacanovic would have still had his job
with Merrill Lynch. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

rejected because it would have been costly and he would have had to pay serious money. 3. Peter
Bacanovic should have known his roll as a broker. This is rejected because both Martha Stewart and
Peter Bacanovic already had an established friendship.

Science Fiction, Melodrama and Western Intersect in David Lynch's Dune
A genre is a grouping of works, in this context a grouping of films, that are somehow similar or
related in content or style. Genres are not strictly uniform over a period of time and do allow for
growth and adaptation of their definitive characteristics. As the film industry has developed through
the past century, various genres of films have emerged and are still evolving. Aspects of genres have
been redefined and intermingled through the history of film. There have also been, throughout the
progression of filmmaking, films which do not strictly fall into one genre or which combine
elements of several genres. David Lynch's 1984 film Dune is a fascinating case ... Show more

Melodrama, as a film genre, is deeply rooted in the institution of the family and various incarnations
and evolved states of the family unit. Familial issues arise more often in science fiction than has
been widely acknowledged. The futuristic universe of Dune and all of the action of the film is
motivated by inter– and intra familial conflicts and resolutions. Science fiction, at times, appears to
be merely a scientific or futuristic setting for the same kind of melodrama film that has been made
for years. However, according to Westfahl, "science fiction reconstructed melodrama in a manner
which complicated and undermined its traditional clarity" (193). Thus whereas in a melodrama such
as The Cobweb, the initial conflict of the narrative is merely left unresolved (but on an optimistic
beat), in the science fiction melodrama, the film is ended with "a hopelessly compromised happy
ending" (Westfahl, 203). Such is the case with Dune: as the film closes, rain pours down on the
desert planet. The rain is meant to represent a positive miracle and something that is desirable, but
the fact that rain would turn the desert sand to mud, potentially drowning and killing the giant
worms and thus ending all spice production is ignored. The ending leaves the film on a happy note,
but the ending has not resolved the film: it had added more conflict to be resolved. Dune is

Epistolary Novels and Mimetic Devices
CHAPTER FIVE: Epistolary Novels And Mimetic Devices
We have seen how the use of mimetic devices contributed to Still Alice and Turn of Mind. In
Chapter FIVE I explore the possibility of using Facebook, (a twenty first century mode of
communication), as a mimetic device to augment conventional prose fiction. In this chapter I want
to show how mimetic devices such as letters, bank statements and reports have already been used in
epistolary fiction so that I can consider their use as models for my own work.
I touch briefly on the history of the use of mimetic devices in the epistolary novel and go on to
discuss how mimetic devices in So Much For That , House Mother Normal and Flowers for
Algernon allow us to hear different voices and create texture. In SMFT chapters are headed with a
bank statement showing how illness drains people's savings. In HMN, each character is preceded by
a clinical report which includes their cognitive ability. FFA uses a diary or "progris report" to tell the
story. I discuss how these mimetic devices contribute to the story.
In the 18th century, letter writing took on great importance as a new mode of communication.
(Studying the Novel 2001) In Pamela by Richardson, letters between Pamela and her family are
used to tell the story of Pamela's resistance to seduction by her employer. The reader is puzzled by
the sudden cessation of Pamela's family's replies to her letters, only to find that this is because

The largest female character is Lady Jessica, the mother to Paul Muad'Dib and lover of Duke Leto.
Jessica begins the novel with power and independence, but slowly fades into the background after
the novel takes a sharp turn. This is particularly shown in her earlier conversations with The
Reverend Mother. " 'You were told to only bear daughters to the Atreides...And you in your pride
thought you could produce the Kwisatz Haderach!' Jessica lifted her chin. 'I sensed the
possibility...You're not infallible,' Jessica said. She braved the steady stare from the old eyes."
(Herbert 35) Jessica was instructed to have a daughter in the Bene Gesserit tradition, but she refused
and maintained her free will. She also demonstrates her Bene Gesserit powers towards the beginning
of their descent into the natural world of the Fremen. "She saw them grow tense, knowing that in
this instant they were convinced of the need to fight over her. Their disagreement required no other
reason. In their minds, they were fighting over her...By uttering the words, by being there, she made
herself infinitely worth their fighting."(Herbert 275). In this passage Jessica skillfully manipulates
and defeats her Harkonnen captors and pilots, with Paul, to save herself and her son. Another
passage like this is when Jessica easily strikes down Stilgar, a leader of the Fremen. "Jessica's

Film Analysis Of The Birds
Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 thriller, The Birds, is known as an apocalyptic masterpiece. Advertising
campaigns screamed, "The Birds is Coming" to entice the people into watching the movie. The
reason for birds all of species flocking together to kill and to cause chaos still goes unknown today.
Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor star in this disastrous horror film that throws the viewer for a loop at
the end of all the slaughtering and disorder in a small ordinary town in California. Through choosing
a specific setting and dynamic characterization, Alfred Hitchcock shows that nature cannot be
controlled and can lead to your own demise.

The clerk tells Melanie the Brenner's address and that Annie Hayworth, the school teacher, would
know the little Brenner girl's name. Melanie order a boat so that Mitch will not see her come up to
the house and goes to Ms. Hayworth's house first. Annie reveals that the little girl's name is Cathy
and that everyone meets Mitch in San Francisco. Melanie goes down to the dock to board her boat.
She turns off the engine as she gets close to the Brenner house and sneaks in while Mitch is outside.
The lovebird and a note to Cathy is left in the living room. The camera shows Melanie crouched
down in the boat as Mitch goes into the house. He is then shown running back outside looking
through binoculars searching for the person who left the gift. Mitch sees Melanie, begins waving,
and jumps into his truck to meet her back at the dock. Melanie is almost at the dock when a gull
deliberately swoops down and pecks her on the head. This first attacks sets off a chain reaction that
progresses and worsens through the rest of the movie.
The setting, Bodega Bay, California, is a small city north of San Francisco, where mostly everyone
knows each other. In 1963, the town was somewhat remote which made for a perfect reason to use.
Hitchcock knew that it would take a while for the word to spread that birds were attacking the
residents adding to the horror. Being that the town is a beach town, it gave an open sky view and flat
