BOOK 1984
MiniProject: What makes a human being?
One of the themes of 1984 is human dignity. In Part Two, Winston’s dreams and memories of his
mother lead him to an appreciation of the proles and to the realization that “the proles had stayed
human” (165). In Part Three, O’Brien refers to Winston as “the last man...the guardian of the
human spirit” (270).
Step 1: Write to analyze and explain your perspective on what it means to be human. Your writing
should be 1-2 pages typed and printed. Think about all of the qualities that make a person
“human” according to Winston—qualities that Winston says the Party has taken away and that
Winston has had to “relearn by conscious effort” (165). Consider those qualities in your analysis
and emphasize and/or add the qualities that you feel are most important to being human. Be sure
to reflect the importance of each of the qualities both within the novel as well as importance to the
human experience.
Step 2: Choose from the options below or create your own (must be approved) to present/
illustrate your analysis:
2. Create a “recipe” that contains all of the essential “ingredients” that make up a human being.
3. Write your own lyrics to a song that explains what it means to be human.
4. Reflect key events from Winston or Julia’s point of view (ex. diary, social media account, video).
5. Make a written, audio, video, visual recording of Winston’s diary throughout the novel.
6. Create an interview with one of the characters (ex. News broadcast, talk show).
10. Create your own original ending for the novel.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

7. Lost at Sea
Instructions
You are adrift on a private yacht in the South Pacific. As
a consequence of a fire of unknown origin, much of the
yacht and its contents have been destroyed. The yacht
is slowly sinking. You location is unclear because of the
destruction of critical navigational equipment and
because you and the crew were distracted trying to
bring the fire under control. You best estimate is that
you are approximately one thousand miles south-
southwest of the nearest land.
8. Lost at Sea
Below is a list of fifteen items that are intact and undamaged after the fire. In addition to these
articles, you have a serviceable rubber raft (with oars) large enough to carry yourself, the crew,
and all the items listed below. The total contents of all survivors’ pockets are a package of
cigarettes, several books of matches, and five one-dollar bills.
Your task is to rank the fifteen items below in terms of their importance to your survival. Place
the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by second most important, and so on
through number 15, the least important.
__ Sextant
__ Shaving Mirror
__ Five-gallon can of water
__ Mosquito netting
__ One case of U.S. Army C- rations
__ Maps of the Pacific Ocean
__ Seat Cushion (flotation device approved by the Coast Guard)
__ Two-gallon can of oil-gas mixture
__ Small transistor radio
__ Shark repellent
__ Twenty square feet of opaque plastic
__ One quart of 160-proof Puerto Rican rum
__ Fifteen feet of nylon rope
__ Two boxes of chocolate bars
__ Fishing kit
9. Lost at Sea
Using the answer sheet, the score is the difference between the actual
answer and the individual/group ranking.
Example: Sextant
Actual answer: 12
Individual/Group Ranking: 7
Score: 5
The lower the score the better. Calculate the score for each item and
add them to find the total score.
(These are the official answers as given by the U.S. Merchant Marines
in their recruit training)
10. Lost at Sea
_12_ Sextant (No good without the chronometer)
1 _ Shaving Mirror (Perfect for signaling passing aircraft)
_3 _ Five-gallon can of water (Can only survive app. 3 days without water)
_14_ Mosquito netting (There are no mosquitoes that far out at sea and
mosquito netting does not make a great fish net)
_4 _ One case of U.S. Army “C” rations (Better than nothing – you have to eat)
_13 _ Maps of the Pacific Ocean ( You likely don’t know where you are so a
map will only tell you where you aren’t)
_8 _ Seat Cushion (flotation device approved by the Coast Guard) (Useful for
saving people if they fall overboard)
_2 _ Two-gallon can of oil-gas mixture (Mixture will float on the water and
burn, good for signaling planes at night)
_15 _ Small transistor radio (Not a two-way radio, will not be able to get a
station that far out to sea)
_11 _ Shark repellent (Self explanatory)
_6 _ Twenty square feet of opaque plastic (Good for covering up and keeping
warm, also good for collecting water – condensation)
_10_ One quart of 160-proof Puerto Rican rum (Alcohol makes you dehydrated
– DO NOT DRINK – use for cleaning wounds, etc.)
_9 _ Fifteen feet of nylon rope (Rope is always good)
_5 _ Two boxes of chocolate bars (Good energy source if desperate)
_7 _ Fishing kit (The fish are likely quite deep but the contents are very
handy)

answer it. On the other end of the phone is an upset parent who was
given your phone number by their student. The parent is
demanding that their student be moved into a new room because
their current roommate is Catholic and has demonstrated their faith
in the room with crucifixes. the parent informs you that they are a
very strong Jewish family and do not believe in exposing their
children to Catholicism. They are very hostile and demand a room
switch immediately.
