Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

ENG 115
ASSIGNMENT 3: STANCE ESSAY
Due Week 10 and worth 230 points
Congratulations! You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
• In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.
• In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to
inform the audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a
position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
• What possible positions/arguments are there?
• What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
• What are your main points?
• What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
• Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except
you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources.
You’re ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
b. Does your personality carry over in your writing? Are your word choices personal and consistent?
c. Is the tone formal? Does it express your atitude about the topic?
2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7
sentences.
a. Does your introduction include solutions or approaches on the topic?
b. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that clearly express your stance on the topic?
c. Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
d. Does your introduction provide a preview of the rest of your essay?
3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest-
ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
a. Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological order or order of importance?
b. Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your
thesis statement?
5. Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
a. Did you paraphrase or restate the thesis in a new way?

Beasts of No Nation Essay
Timeline:
Week of April 10-13: Watch Beasts of No Nation during class periods.
Mon. April 17: First Draft of Film Paper Due
Week of April 17-20 : One-on-One conferences about the
paper.
Tues. April 25: Final Draft of Film Essay due in D2L dropbox.
Directions:
Choose ONE of the following questions and write a well-planned out, coherent essay that argues a point that you want to make about the movie.
1. How does the film address the question of what “family” means?
2. How does the film address the idea of putting one’s trust in God?
3. How does the film show how a young child can be recruited into the military?
4. How does the film treat the subject of resistance against an unjust military government?
Just a reminder of what a good essay consists of, the essay should contain:
1. A nice introductory paragraph that “leads in” to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should not be the first sentence of the essay.
2. A clear and precise thesis statement that will alert the reader what the essay is going to be about.
3. A good, strong topic sentence in each paragraph, usually the first sentence of the paragraph.
4. Enough development in each paragraph to fully support the main point (aka topic sentence).
5. A conclusion that either summarizes the main points of the essay or emphasizes the very important point(s).
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VISITING A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA OR SPARKNOTES. I ESPECIALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS VISIT ANY WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN PURCHASE PAPER WITH A CREDIT CARD. Students who visit these websites looking for ideas tend to accidentally plagiarize the sites in their papers. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and will receive the same zero that plagiarizing on purpose gets.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM THIS ESSAY
1. I want this essay to be an analysis of The Hunger Games. I DO NOT WANT A PLOT SUMMARY. Notice that every sample question that I provided for you above required some sort of deep thinking and analysis. Your essay should show such analytical ability.
2. Your paper should be foregrounded in LOGOS, not ethos or pathos. You may use some ethos or pathos if it helps you to make your point, but the dominant mode of persuasion that you should be using in this paper is logos.
3. DO NOT USE PURE SPECULATION! Always back your assertions up with evidence from the movie.
4. Use specific details. Do not be vague.
RUBRIC
I will be scoring your essay based upon the following criteria:
Formatting (6 points)
Your essay should formatted in MLA format. Use the Formatting a Paper in MLA Format link in the MLA Formatting folder under Course Content to learn how to format a paper properly. One point will be counted off for each of these that are not done properly:

write an essay about this:
https://politicalcartoons.com/sku/224390/
and follow the instruction below
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to interpret a political cartoon by analyzing how the cartoonist uses
both visual and verbal elements and techniques to make an argument. The cartoon must address a current
technology topic and issue.
The Assignment:
Write a 3-4 page essay that analyzes a political cartoon argument. In your analysis, include
3-4 strongest visual and verbal techniques the cartoonist uses and connect this to how these tools appeal to the
strongest rhetorical device. The techniques and rhetorical appeals are explained on the handout “Political
Cartoon Analysis Guide.”
Make sure to choose a cartoon that has sufficient visual and verbal elements.
MLA Format/Sources:
The essay must follow MLA format, typed, double-spaced, [check settings in
paragraph layout—use double space and not multiple, set “before and after” settings to 0/0, use 12font Times
New Roman and 1” margins. For this paper there is only one source: the political cartoon. Also on the works
cited page, the cartoon should be included.
Integrating Evidence:
When integrating evidence from the cartoon to support and to prove the reason (the
main point) you must use a signal phrase (the cartoonist’s name—you may use the last name since the full name
is already used in the introduction, include quotation marks around actual words taken from the cartoon, cite it
(“Title of the Cartoon), and explain how and why this evidence proves how the technique is used to appeal to
the strongest rhetorical appeal and thus the cartoonist’s thesis statement. When adding another quote or
paraphrase from the cartoon to prove your element choice, insert an appropriate transition. Avoid simply
dumping in evidence. There should only be two quotes or paraphrases in a
paragraph.
Political Cartoon Analysis Guide
The rhetorical purpose of a political cartoon is to persuade an audience toward the cartoonist’s position on an issue. An issue is a question that people dispute over or take different sides on. Cartoonists use both visual and verbal techniques to persuade an audience of their thesis statement (their response to an issue question). A rhetorical analysis of a political cartoon is interpreting how both visual and verbal techniques are used to appeal to pathos, ethos, and/or logos in order to persuade the audience. The classical philosopher Aristotle defined rhetoric as “the ability to see the available means of persuasion.” Aristotle defined three kinds of rhetoric: pathos, ethos, and logos.
Pathos: This is a persuasive appeal to the sympathies, values, beliefs, and emotions of the audience. Appeals to pathos are accomplished through visual images as well as through verbal. How do the techniques the cartoonist uses appeal to the audience’s values, beliefs, and emotions? What techniqu.

Film Analysis Assignment
Purpose:
To encourage you to become critical observers of interpersonal communication skills, choose a movie to review from the suggested film list. After watching the film write a 4-5 page (minimum of 1000 words) paper using these guidelines. All papers must follow APA or MLA guidelines, use Times New Roman font, be double spaced, 12 point font, and 1 inch margins.
Instructions
: This assignment is to be completed in three parts (see below). Choose a film from the list provided below. Watch the film and write an analysis paper based on concepts covered in this interpersonal communication class. You may need to watch the film more than once to complete this assignment.
In the
introductory paragraph
, provide the following elements:
Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s attention.
Briefly
summarize the film. The summary could include: the title, the plot, and the main characters.
Offer a clear
thesis
for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about how this film can be interpreted using vital interpersonal communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the
body
of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five (5)
different
interpersonal communication concepts
from at least three (3) different chapters
that are demonstrated in the movie.
For
each
interpersonal concept:
Define
the concept using the textbook and provide an example from the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated and use terms from the text.
Evaluate
whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain why you believe this to be true. First-person language is acceptable.
Analyze
the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to the character(s) and plot. In other words, project beyond the movie. If the movie continued, or had a sequel, how do you think the consequences would impact the character(s).
What does it mean to analyze?
When your instructor asks you to write an
analysis
, don’t panic. All they want is for you to take something apart to see how it works. To write an analysis, think about how each part of something contributes to the success of the whole.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are not just summarizing the scene from your movie. Go beyond telling us what you are talking about. Describe
how
and
why
its elements function.
Summarizing = WHAT Analyzing = HOW & WHY
In addition to using theories from the textbook, utilize at least one credible outside source as part of your analysis of a specifi.

The Utah State Fair runs from September 5th—15th. Attend it, and compare its market activities with those in Jonson’s play. What commodities and entertainments does each offer, and how do they interact to organize and define the fairgoer’s experience? (Is there a typical fairgoer experience?) How does each make its money, and what marketing ploys, commercial tactics, or outright scams does each use to make more of it? If Jonson’s fair produces a kind of community by the end, on what is it based, and does its counterpart develop something similar? What do people buy, and is it the same as what they get? The best papers will not (and cannot) address all these questions, but will select among them to weave together an organic argument, with a clear thesis; they will narrow their focus as much as possible, analyzing specific practices and effects in both the real-life fair and Jonson’s dramatic one; they will devoteroughly half their space to Bartholomew Fair, and quote from it (with proper textual citation*) at least three times to illustrate their insights.
2) In our consideration of Bartholomew Fair as a critique of early market capitalism, we have noted the theme of individual agency as both a fiction that consumer culture must maintain and as a faculty it is simultaneously invested in disabling. From this perspective, analyze the fates of at least two characters in the play, retracing their experience and focusing on the key moments that define it. (Since the play opens with a contract, you may even consider the experience of the audience.) In what ways do they believe themselves to be making their own choices, and how are they revealed not to be? At what crucial junctures are their intentions thwarted, their capacity for rational judgment or action short-circuited, their value systems abandoned, or their identities transformed? If they achieve any freedom or growth by the end, to what larger forces must they surrender, and are these the same forces to which they initially believed themselves subject? If knowledge in this play means recognizing you are not really a ‘person,’ finally, what characters best embody that lack of agency? Does this play have a hero, or heroes? Who, and why? The best papers will ...

Putting It Together: A Standard for Integrating Perspectives
Shani, age 15: While I was learning to resist the temptation of hunger, I walked into the kitchen when no one was around, took a slice of bread out the packet, toasted it, spread butter on it, took a deep breath and bit. Guilty. I spat it in the trash and tossed the rest of it in and walked away. Seconds later I longed for the toast, walked back to the trash, popped open the lid and sifted around in the debris. I found it and contemplated, for minutes, whether to eat it. I brought it close to my nose and inhaled the smell of melted butter. Guilty. Guilty for trashing it. Guilty for craving it. Guilty for tasting it. I threw it back in the trash and walked away. No is no, I told myself. No is no.
… And no matter how hard I would try to always have The Perfect Day in terms of my food, I would feel the guilt every second of every day. It reeked of shame, seeped with disgust and festered in disgrace. It was my desire to escape the guilt that perpetuated my compulsion to starve.
In time I formulated a more precise list of “can” and “can’t” in my head that dictated what I was allowed or forbidden to consume…. It became my way of life. My manual. My blueprint. But more than that, it gave me false reassurance that my life was under control. I was managing everything because I had this list in front of me telling me what—and what not—to do….
In the beginning, starving was hard work. It was not innate. Day by day I was slowly lured into another world, a world that was as isolating as it was intriguing, and as rewarding as it was challenging….
That summer, despite the fact that I had lost a lot of weight, my mother agreed to let me go to summer camp with my fifteen-year-old peers, after I swore to her that I would eat. I broke that promise as soon as I got there…. At breakfast time when all the teens raced into the dining hall to grab cereal boxes and bread loaves and jelly tins and peanut butter jars, I sat alone cocooned in my fear. I fingered the plastic packet of a loaf of white sliced bread, took out a piece and tore off a corner, like I was marking a page in a book, onto which I dabbed a blob of peanut butter and jelly the size of a Q-tip. That was my breakfast. Every day. For three weeks.
I tried to get to the showers when everyone else was at the beach so nobody would see me. I heard girls behind me whispering, “Tha ...

Earning Your Place in the Investment World
The CFA Program
Wojciech Gudaszewski, CFA, (cover) took a major career leap in
2006, founding WDM Financial Group, the first firm in Poland
to offer a fully comprehensive array of financial services. Beam-
ing with enthusiasm as he strolls amidst the ornate buildings
of Wroclaw, Poland’s third-largest city, Wojciech explains.
“Becoming a CFA charterholder gave me more self-confi-
dence,” says Wojciech. “Now I have more courage to lead more
responsible and ambitious projects, like establishing and man-
aging the WDM Financial Group.”
Wojciech saw opportunity in Poland’s emerging market
and set about earning the professional credentials to partici-
pate fully in— and find solutions for— his homeland’s finan-
cial front. But after earning a master’s degree in economics
and three professional certifications, he says, “Soon I realized
that there is really only one global standard for investment
professionals—[the] CFA [designation].”
Wojciech likewise credits getting his first job after gradu-
ation, an equity analyst position at ING Investment Manage-
ment in Warsaw, to the CFA designation. “Thanks to the CFA
charter I got a great job after my studies,” he says. He glances
proudly at the colorful facades rising all around him and adds,
“The CFA charter gave me a chance to find interesting and
well-paid work.”
As the sun fades and a cool breeze whips across the town
square, Wojciech reveals a broad level of confidence and
urgency, leaving little doubt about the depth of his determina-
tion: With more than 50 clients on board already, he plans to
serve 200 by year’s end. “I want to push the Group to the next
level as soon as possible.”

ENG 115
ASSIGNMENT 3: STANCE ESSAY
Due Week 10 and worth 230 points
Congratulations! You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
• In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.
• In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to
inform the audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a
position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
• What possible positions/arguments are there?
• What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
• What are your main points?
• What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
• Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except
you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources.
You’re ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
b. Does your personality carry over in your writing? Are your word choices personal and consistent?
c. Is the tone formal? Does it express your atitude about the topic?
2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7
sentences.
a. Does your introduction include solutions or approaches on the topic?
b. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that clearly express your stance on the topic?
c. Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
d. Does your introduction provide a preview of the rest of your essay?
3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest-
ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
a. Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological order or order of importance?
b. Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your
thesis statement?
5. Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
a. Did you paraphrase or restate the thesis in a new way?

Beasts of No Nation Essay
Timeline:
Week of April 10-13: Watch Beasts of No Nation during class periods.
Mon. April 17: First Draft of Film Paper Due
Week of April 17-20 : One-on-One conferences about the
paper.
Tues. April 25: Final Draft of Film Essay due in D2L dropbox.
Directions:
Choose ONE of the following questions and write a well-planned out, coherent essay that argues a point that you want to make about the movie.
1. How does the film address the question of what “family” means?
2. How does the film address the idea of putting one’s trust in God?
3. How does the film show how a young child can be recruited into the military?
4. How does the film treat the subject of resistance against an unjust military government?
Just a reminder of what a good essay consists of, the essay should contain:
1. A nice introductory paragraph that “leads in” to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should not be the first sentence of the essay.
2. A clear and precise thesis statement that will alert the reader what the essay is going to be about.
3. A good, strong topic sentence in each paragraph, usually the first sentence of the paragraph.
4. Enough development in each paragraph to fully support the main point (aka topic sentence).
5. A conclusion that either summarizes the main points of the essay or emphasizes the very important point(s).
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VISITING A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA OR SPARKNOTES. I ESPECIALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS VISIT ANY WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN PURCHASE PAPER WITH A CREDIT CARD. Students who visit these websites looking for ideas tend to accidentally plagiarize the sites in their papers. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and will receive the same zero that plagiarizing on purpose gets.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM THIS ESSAY

3. DO NOT USE PURE SPECULATION! Always back your assertions up with evidence from the movie.
4. Use specific details. Do not be vague.

write an essay about this:
https://politicalcartoons.com/sku/224390/
and follow the instruction below
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to interpret a political cartoon by analyzing how the cartoonist uses
both visual and verbal elements and techniques to make an argument. The cartoon must address a current
technology topic and issue.
The Assignment:
Write a 3-4 page essay that analyzes a political cartoon argument. In your analysis, include
3-4 strongest visual and verbal techniques the cartoonist uses and connect this to how these tools appeal to the
strongest rhetorical device. The techniques and rhetorical appeals are explained on the handout “Political
Cartoon Analysis Guide.”
Make sure to choose a cartoon that has sufficient visual and verbal elements.
MLA Format/Sources:
The essay must follow MLA format, typed, double-spaced, [check settings in
paragraph layout—use double space and not multiple, set “before and after” settings to 0/0, use 12font Times
New Roman and 1” margins. For this paper there is only one source: the political cartoon. Also on the works
cited page, the cartoon should be included.
Integrating Evidence:
When integrating evidence from the cartoon to support and to prove the reason (the
main point) you must use a signal phrase (the cartoonist’s name—you may use the last name since the full name
is already used in the introduction, include quotation marks around actual words taken from the cartoon, cite it
(“Title of the Cartoon), and explain how and why this evidence proves how the technique is used to appeal to
the strongest rhetorical appeal and thus the cartoonist’s thesis statement. When adding another quote or
paraphrase from the cartoon to prove your element choice, insert an appropriate transition. Avoid simply
dumping in evidence. There should only be two quotes or paraphrases in a
paragraph.
Political Cartoon Analysis Guide
The rhetorical purpose of a political cartoon is to persuade an audience toward the cartoonist’s position on an issue. An issue is a question that people dispute over or take different sides on. Cartoonists use both visual and verbal techniques to persuade an audience of their thesis statement (their response to an issue question). A rhetorical analysis of a political cartoon is interpreting how both visual and verbal techniques are used to appeal to pathos, ethos, and/or logos in order to persuade the audience. The classical philosopher Aristotle defined rhetoric as “the ability to see the available means of persuasion.” Aristotle defined three kinds of rhetoric: pathos, ethos, and logos.
Pathos: This is a persuasive appeal to the sympathies, values, beliefs, and emotions of the audience. Appeals to pathos are accomplished through visual images as well as through verbal. How do the techniques the cartoonist uses appeal to the audience’s values, beliefs, and emotions? What techniqu.

Film Analysis AssignmentPurpose To encourage you to becom.docx
Film Analysis Assignment
Purpose:
To encourage you to become critical observers of interpersonal communication skills, choose a movie to review from the suggested film list. After watching the film write a 4-5 page (minimum of 1000 words) paper using these guidelines. All papers must follow APA or MLA guidelines, use Times New Roman font, be double spaced, 12 point font, and 1 inch margins.
Instructions
: This assignment is to be completed in three parts (see below). Choose a film from the list provided below. Watch the film and write an analysis paper based on concepts covered in this interpersonal communication class. You may need to watch the film more than once to complete this assignment.
In the
introductory paragraph
, provide the following elements:
Offer a creative opening for the paper that grabs the reader’s attention.
Briefly
summarize the film. The summary could include: the title, the plot, and the main characters.
Offer a clear
thesis
for the essay. A thesis statement explains to the reader how you plan to interpret the subject, tells the reader what to expect from the paper (road map), and answers the ‘so what’ question about how this film can be interpreted using vital interpersonal communication theories and concepts.
Provide an overview of how the paper will be organized that includes the specific concepts that will be discussed.
In the
body
of the essay, using separate paragraphs, analyze five (5)
different
interpersonal communication concepts
from at least three (3) different chapters
that are demonstrated in the movie.
For
each
interpersonal concept:
Define
the concept using the textbook and provide an example from the film that demonstrates the concept. Be specific: describe the character(s) and/or event(s) where the concept is demonstrated and use terms from the text.
Evaluate
whether the concept is applied effectively or ineffectively (good example or bad example). Take a position and explain why you believe this to be true. First-person language is acceptable.
Analyze
the consequences of the concept’s effective or ineffective application. Consider short-term and long-term consequences to the character(s) and plot. In other words, project beyond the movie. If the movie continued, or had a sequel, how do you think the consequences would impact the character(s).
What does it mean to analyze?
When your instructor asks you to write an
analysis
, don’t panic. All they want is for you to take something apart to see how it works. To write an analysis, think about how each part of something contributes to the success of the whole.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are not just summarizing the scene from your movie. Go beyond telling us what you are talking about. Describe
how
and
why
its elements function.

This is a two-page paper; that means at least two full pages o.docx
This is a two-page paper; that means at least two full pages of writing. Papers should be typed, double-spaced, in 12 point font, with standard margins (like this page), stapled. Please print out your paper,and do so single-sided so there is space for me to leave comments (i.e. on the back). Two pages is a minimum; you may write more if you wish. No ‘Works Cited’ page is needed, and outside research (except for observation, in the case of #1) is actively discouraged. This paper is worth 20% of your overall course grade.
There are two options for this paper. Choose one of the following:
1) Throughout our discussion of Bartholomew Fair, we have suggested analogies between the early modern fair Jonson depicts and our own contemporary ones. The Utah State Fair runs from September 5th—15th. Attend it, and compare its market activities with those in Jonson’s play. What commodities and entertainments does each offer, and how do they interact to organize and define the fairgoer’s experience? (Is there a typical fairgoer experience?) How does each make its money, and what marketing ploys, commercial tactics, or outright scams does each use to make more of it? If Jonson’s fair produces a kind of community by the end, on what is it based, and does its counterpart develop something similar? What do people buy, and is it the same as what they get? The best papers will not (and cannot) address all these questions, but will select among them to weave together an organic argument, with a clear thesis; they will narrow their focus as much as possible, analyzing specific practices and effects in both the real-life fair and Jonson’s dramatic one; they will devoteroughly half their space to Bartholomew Fair, and quote from it (with proper textual citation*) at least three times to illustrate their insights.
2) In our consideration of Bartholomew Fair as a critique of early market capitalism, we have noted the theme of individual agency as both a fiction that consumer culture must maintain and as a faculty it is simultaneously invested in disabling. From this perspective, analyze the fates of at least two characters in the play, retracing their experience and focusing on the key moments that define it. (Since the play opens with a contract, you may even consider the experience of the audience.) In what ways do they believe themselves to be making their own choices, and how are they revealed not to be? At what crucial junctures are their intentions thwarted, their capacity for rational judgment or action short-circuited, their value systems abandoned, or their identities transformed? If they achieve any freedom or growth by the end, to what larger forces must they surrender, and are these the same forces to which they initially believed themselves subject? If knowledge in this play means recognizing you are not really a ‘person,’ finally, what characters best embody that lack of agency? Does this play have a hero, or heroes? Who, and why? The best papers will ...

Putting It Together: A Standard for Integrating Perspectives
Shani, age 15: While I was learning to resist the temptation of hunger, I walked into the kitchen when no one was around, took a slice of bread out the packet, toasted it, spread butter on it, took a deep breath and bit. Guilty. I spat it in the trash and tossed the rest of it in and walked away. Seconds later I longed for the toast, walked back to the trash, popped open the lid and sifted around in the debris. I found it and contemplated, for minutes, whether to eat it. I brought it close to my nose and inhaled the smell of melted butter. Guilty. Guilty for trashing it. Guilty for craving it. Guilty for tasting it. I threw it back in the trash and walked away. No is no, I told myself. No is no.
… And no matter how hard I would try to always have The Perfect Day in terms of my food, I would feel the guilt every second of every day. It reeked of shame, seeped with disgust and festered in disgrace. It was my desire to escape the guilt that perpetuated my compulsion to starve.
In time I formulated a more precise list of “can” and “can’t” in my head that dictated what I was allowed or forbidden to consume…. It became my way of life. My manual. My blueprint. But more than that, it gave me false reassurance that my life was under control. I was managing everything because I had this list in front of me telling me what—and what not—to do….
In the beginning, starving was hard work. It was not innate. Day by day I was slowly lured into another world, a world that was as isolating as it was intriguing, and as rewarding as it was challenging….
That summer, despite the fact that I had lost a lot of weight, my mother agreed to let me go to summer camp with my fifteen-year-old peers, after I swore to her that I would eat. I broke that promise as soon as I got there…. At breakfast time when all the teens raced into the dining hall to grab cereal boxes and bread loaves and jelly tins and peanut butter jars, I sat alone cocooned in my fear. I fingered the plastic packet of a loaf of white sliced bread, took out a piece and tore off a corner, like I was marking a page in a book, onto which I dabbed a blob of peanut butter and jelly the size of a Q-tip. That was my breakfast. Every day. For three weeks.
I tried to get to the showers when everyone else was at the beach so nobody would see me. I heard girls behind me whispering, “Tha ...

Earning Your Place in the Investment World
The CFA Program
Wojciech Gudaszewski, CFA, (cover) took a major career leap in
2006, founding WDM Financial Group, the first firm in Poland
to offer a fully comprehensive array of financial services. Beam-
ing with enthusiasm as he strolls amidst the ornate buildings
of Wroclaw, Poland’s third-largest city, Wojciech explains.
“Becoming a CFA charterholder gave me more self-confi-
dence,” says Wojciech. “Now I have more courage to lead more
responsible and ambitious projects, like establishing and man-
aging the WDM Financial Group.”
Wojciech saw opportunity in Poland’s emerging market
and set about earning the professional credentials to partici-
pate fully in— and find solutions for— his homeland’s finan-
cial front. But after earning a master’s degree in economics
and three professional certifications, he says, “Soon I realized
that there is really only one global standard for investment
professionals—[the] CFA [designation].”
Wojciech likewise credits getting his first job after gradu-
ation, an equity analyst position at ING Investment Manage-
ment in Warsaw, to the CFA designation. “Thanks to the CFA
charter I got a great job after my studies,” he says. He glances
proudly at the colorful facades rising all around him and adds,
“The CFA charter gave me a chance to find interesting and
well-paid work.”
As the sun fades and a cool breeze whips across the town
square, Wojciech reveals a broad level of confidence and
urgency, leaving little doubt about the depth of his determina-
tion: With more than 50 clients on board already, he plans to
serve 200 by year’s end. “I want to push the Group to the next
level as soon as possible.”

The Buddha’s Birth Stories
By Lynn Cianfarani
The exterior of the Ajanta Caves where they were cut into the stone on the side of a cliff by
the Waghur River in India. These cave monuments, which date from the second century
BCE to about 480 or 650 CE, house depictions of Buddha and the Jātaka Tales.
Photo courtesy of Shriram Rajagopalan / Flickr Creative Commons
In one of his former lives, Buddha was born a pigeon. That is, at least, how it is
recounted in “The Pigeon and the Crow,” one of the 547 stories in the Jātaka Tales, a
classic work of Buddhist literature.
Each of the Jātaka Tales offers readers a moral. The pigeon story, for instance,
highlights the dangers of greed. But the stories are more than just fables. They are
sacred Buddhist lore, outlining the lives that Buddha passed through before his birth as
Prince Siddhartha. Jātaka literally means “story of birth,” and in the stories, Buddha
(referred to in the Tales as the Bodhisatta—“one seeking enlightenment”) is born and
http://www.webtexts.com/courses/18168-stallard/traditional_book
reborn in the form of animals, humans, and super-human beings, all the while striving
toward enlightenment.
For Buddhists, the concept of past lives is hallowed. According to Robert Thurman, a
professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University, “Buddhists see the
continuum of lives of all beings as a commonsense fact, not a mystical belief.”1 Buddhist
faith teaches that ordinary humans do not remember past existences, but enlightened
beings have the gift of recalling their former lives in detail.2
Buddhists who hear the Jātaka Tales do not necessarily take them as a word-for-word
accounting of past events, however. Devdutt Pattanaik, a Mumbai-based speaker,
writer, and mythology specialist, says that the Jātaka Tales “are as real and historical to
Buddhists as the stories of Christ’s resurrection are to Christians.”3 For most Buddhists,
whether Buddha actually lived as a pigeon is not the issue; what matters is that Buddha
did indeed have past existences which lessons can be learned from.
Reliable historical details of Buddha’s life—his early years as Siddhartha Gutam, and
later, as the enlightened Buddha—are hard to come by. According to W.S. Merwin, a
Pulitzer Prize winning poet, we don’t know how much of the Buddha/Siddhartha story
“is pure fairy tale, and how much of it is historic fact.”4 As with most religions, it’s the
message that guides followers.
Most scholars do accept that Siddhartha Gutam was an actual man, born to a royal
family in India in 563 BCE. The factual events of his life, however, remain open to
debate. According to Buddhist texts, Siddhartha married and had a child, but became
disillusioned with palace life. He started to make trips outside the palace and grew
distraught when he saw sickness, old age, and death.

1.0 Executive Summary
In my 2017, the 23rd annual meeting of North American Taiwan Studies Association (NATSA) was held at Stanford University. The experts and scholars, who focused on researching the relevant issues about Asian-Pacific region, such as Kharis Templeman, Erin Baggott Carter, Thomas Fingar, and Lanhee J. Chen, analyzed the potential conflicts in Cross-Strait relations between People’s Republic of China (PRC-China) and Republic of China (ROC-Taiwan) on this meeting.[footnoteRef:1] During the process of discussing the potential conflict between PRC and ROC, the United States was highlighted as the most important mediator that could influence the trends of the conflict between PRC and ROC, and that was able to provide it with windows of opportunity. This early warning policy memo will examine the three scenarios with different degrees of feasibilities by regarding the United States government as the most suitable mediator. The key facts of Cross-Strait relations between the PRC and the ROC will be demonstrated, and the important characteristic of the conflict situation will also be analyzed. Based on them, this memo will discuss the points that are at stake, and the reasons why prevention action is merited for Cross-Strait relations between the PRC and the ROC. After analyzing the pros and cons of three future scenarios, the last one, which the United States government stands with the PRC and supports “One-China” policy, reveals the relatively higher feasibility.

2.1 The Cross-Strait Relations between the PRC and the ROC
Since the second Chinese Civil War happened in 1937, the issues about the relations between PRC and POC, which were also called as Cross-Strait relations (Haixia Liangan Guanxi), have become seriously sensitive topics in both of the two political entities that were geographically separated by the Taiwan Strait in the west Pacific Ocean. In 1949, the second Chinese Civil War led to the political status that the mainland of China being governed by the PRC, instead, Taiwan pertains to the ROC, wh ...

Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino. The Hennepin and Ramsey counties are homes to over 64000 people from the Hmong communities. Approximately 3000 Karen refugees came into Minnesota fleeing the violence and war experienced in Burmese civil war. Finally, the United States became home to Liberian and Somali refugees following the civil wars in their countries. Approximately 32 000 refugees from Somali live in Minnesota since the 1990s. Land was owned by families and the immigrants depended on the transition of the land through family lineages. The inheritance of land from one individual to another was done according to the customs and the cultural beliefs of the people involved. Land was particularly used for settlement and agricultural purposes. Other immigrants could also obtain land through purchasing from other land owners (Oestergen, 1981).
For the first immigrants, getting to Minnesota was the first major challenge they experienced. Even if they possessed the wherewithal to their passage, the journey across the ocean often lasted for numerous weeks in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. According to Johnson (2014), the immigrants often faced attacks from the other ethnic groups that came into Minnesota. As a result of the difference in ethnicity, Johnson (2014) explains that language barrier became a major challenge especially because most of the immigrants chose to retain their native language. While many modern refugees arrive in the western countries through the use of planes, early refugees used ships with significant proportions of those onboard dying from the strong and cold winds on the ocean. They experienced anxiety and hardships especially in cases where they had to be separated from their relatives whom they had to wait for months ...

The work that has actually been completed
--- Compared To ---
The work that was scheduled to be completed
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the project team to know:If the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
How far the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
If the project is over or under budget
How much the project is over or under budget
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the team to address the project’s triple constraints earlier rather than later Scope – re-prioritize/reduce requirements
--- and/or ---
Schedule – adjust the timeline
--- and/or ---
Cost – request additional funding
The Components of Earned Value Analysis WBS – Work Breakdown StructureIdentifies products to be delivered by the project Products or sub-products should be broken down to what can be completed in 80 hours (“80-hour rule”), when applicable

Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino. The Hennepin and Ramsey counties are homes to over 64000 people from the Hmong communities. Approximately 3000 Karen refugees came into Minnesota fleeing the violence and war experienced in Burmese civil war. Finally, the United States became home to Liberian and Somali refugees following the civil wars in their countries. Approximately 32 000 refugees from Somali live in Minnesota since the 1990s. Land was owned by families and the immigrants depended on the transition of the land through family lineages. The inheritance of land from one individual to another was done according to the customs and the cultural beliefs of the people involved. Land was particularly used for settlement and agricultural purposes. Other immigrants could also obtain land through purchasing from other land owners (Oestergen, 1981).
For the first immigrants, getting to Minnesota was the first major challenge they experienced. Even if they possessed the wherewithal to their passage, the journey across the ocean often lasted for numerous weeks in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. According to Johnson (2014), the immigrants often faced attacks from the other ethnic groups that came into Minnesota. As a result of the difference in ethnicity, Johnson (2014) explains that language barrier became a major challenge especially because most of the immigrants chose to retain their native language. While many modern refugees arrive in the western countries through the use of planes, early refugees used ships with significant proportions of those onboard dying from the strong and cold winds on the ocean. They experienced anxiety and hardships especially in cases where they had to be separated from their relatives whom they had to wait for months ...

Eastman Kodak Company
The consumer electronic field is a great and also equally competitive business area. Different companies usually design different techniques to and outsmart their fellow business counterparts. They do this via developing various business promotional methods and marketing designs. Companies normally review their marketing strategies from time to time in order to ensure that they make maximum profits in their businesses, the do this due to changing internal and external factors of their business enterprises that they view as factors that slow their advancement. Most of the marketing departments have the likelihood of considering their consumers wants, they have a tendency to make or design products that are very much appealing and motivating to their customers. They do this to ensure customer satisfaction and ultimately they do this to ensure that their company makes maximum profit. Most of the marketing departments try to understand consumer feedback concerning their products therefore they have set up forums to ensure that they get the consumer feedback in order to think of even more interesting strategies that will ensure the companies maximum profit and sustainability in the market. To increase its competitiveness in the industry, the company should produce a new middle range smart phone in the market,

Complex Systems: TermsSystems are groups of interacting, interdependent parts linked together by exchanges of energy, matter and informationComplex systems are characterized by:Strong (usually non-linear) interactions between the partsComplex feedback loops that make it difficult to distinguish cause from effectSignificant time and space lags, discontinuities, thresholds, and limitsOperation far from equilibrium in a state of constant adaptation to changing conditions (at the edge of deterministic chaos)
Adapted from R. Costanza, L. Wainger, C folk, and K. Maler, “Modeling Complex Ecological Economic,” BioScience 43(8): 545-55
Four Types of ComplexityStatic complexity (or just complicated): many nodes and links (a 747 sitting on the ground)Dynamic complexity: system operating through time (747 in flight, controlled by air traffic control)Wicked complexity: integrates human systems (global air transport as a system)Earth systems complexity: integrated built/natural/human systems at regional and global scale (e.g., effect of 747 on disease patterns, and on eco-touorism)
Evolution of Complex Adaptive Systems All complex systems evolve in response to changing boundary conditions and internal dynamics – so known as “Complex Adaptive Systems”. Evolution occurs as the result of three mechanisms linked in complicated ways:
Information storage and transmission Mutation (generation of new alternatives for system agents Selection among alternative based on performance given internal states and external boundary conditions
Where Complex Adaptive Systems LiveIf too many strong linkages among parts of a system, it cannot adapt; any mutation is rapidly damped out.If not enough linkages, also cannot adapt; mutation can’t be preserved in new system state.Therefore, CASs live between stasis and randomness
Human Systems vs. Non-Human Systems
(The “Wicked” vs. The “Tame”)
Wicked Systems:
1. Policy problems cannot be definitively described
2. There is nothing like an indisputable public good
3. There are no objective definitions of equity
4. Policies for social problems cannot be meaningfully correct or false
5. There are no “solutions”in the sense of definitive, objective answers
6. There is no optimality

EASY Note Cards
Students need an “easy” way to keep their study of vocabulary organized, and it is a smart idea to have a tool to frequently review new terms so they can shift to long-term memory. Creating and studying EASY note cards is a simple way to learn and remember enough about a new word so you can begin using it and become comfortable with it. EASY stands for:
Example – create an original sentence using the word correctly
Antonym – the word’s opposite (if there is one) or what the word is not
Synonym – a word with a similar meaning or a simplified definition
Your Logic – using prior knowledge (logic), make a personal connection to the word
word: part of speech
tone: can be positive, negative, neutral, or a combination
E-

Husk (noun) ;
tone: can be neutral or negative
E – We cracked pecans for pie and threw away the husks.
A – fruit; living inside
S – shell; dead outer layer
Y – banana peel; tamales; an old physical body

Some EASY clarification
E - an original example sentence using the word, including a context clue which illustrates the meaning (you can't say: I am bombastic. This gives no clue as to the words meaning)
A - an antonym if possible; if not, then a logical contrasted idea (what the word is not)
S - a synonym or simplified definition (in your own words that you understand; do not use a word you don’t know to define a word you don’t know!)
Y - your personal connection to the word's meaning using prior knowledge and experience of your world
(this is not a sentence, just 1-3 nouns or phrases that help you connect to the new word's meaning)
Think of tone as one of three possible scales:
Positive (+): ranging from a little bit + to very +
Negative (-): ranging from a little bit - to very -
Neutral (objective; no emotion; factual)

Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
An observation of Minnesota’s demographic statistical figures created by government officials is likely to show a white tapestry with joint a few scattered threads of color. However, there are those that would argue that this representation is inaccurate and that it is not a true account of the demographic history of Minnesota. It is worth pointing out that over the past 150 years, there have been immigrants from over 60 countries who have come to Minnesota and created a state which however on the face of it may seem homogenous, it enjoys a great legacy that has a rich cultural diversity. The new land of Minnesota presented a new life to these immigrants whereby they encountered new opportunities, made new relations and also encountered new opportunities. This paper therefore intends to look in to the immigration history of Minnesota ranging from the factors that attracted immigrants, impacts of immigration, challenges encountered by the immigrants to advantages of the immigration wave.
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota.

Research Findings: Interpersonal relationships among staff caregivers, parents, and children have
been recommended as essential aspects of early childhood intervention. This study explored the
associations of these relationships with program outcomes for children and parents in 3 Early Head
Start programs. A total of 71 children (8–35 months, M ¼ 20), their parents, and 33 program
caregivers participated. The results showed that caregiver–child relationships were moderately
positive, secure, and interactive and improved in quality over 6 months, whereas caregiver–parent
relationships were generally positive and temporally stable. Caregiver–child relationships were more
positive for girls, younger children, and those in home-visiting programs. Caregiver–parent relation-
ships were more positive when parents had higher education levels and when staff had more years of
experience, had more positive work environments, or had attained a Child Development Associate
credential or associate’s level of education rather than a 4-year academic degree. Hierarchical linear
modeling analysis suggested that the quality of the caregiver–parent relationship was a stronger
predictor of both child and parent outcomes than was the quality of the caregiver–child relationship.
There were also moderation effects: Stronger associations of caregiver–parent relationships with
observed positive parenting were seen in parents with lower education levels and when program
caregivers had higher levels of education. Practice or Policy: The results support the importance
of caregiver–family relationships in early intervention programs and suggest that staff need to be
prepared to build relationships with children and families in individualized ways. Limitations of this
study and implications for program improvements and future research are discussed.

Dustin Schinn still isn’t sure if he wants an iPhone. He once gave a friend cash to order an Uber for him because he still hasn’t downloaded the car-service app. A friend recently tried to get him onto Tinder, the mobile dating service, but had to install an app called Dater, because Mr. Schinn is still using a Blackberry.
Mr. Schinn, a 27-year-old Washington, D.C., resident, is a late adopter. And he’s proud of it.
“People make fun of me,” Mr. Schinn says. “But I often don’t feel the need for these new technologies...They require you to sort of constantly adapt to something new, and I often feel this is just unnecessary.”
Many people are late adopters or know one. When it comes to technological adoption, as much as 16% of the population is considered to be in the “laggard” category, with another 34% encompassing a “late majority,” according to a landmark 1962 study about the spread of new ideas and technology by the late University of New Mexico professor Everett Rogers. His theories have since been widely applied to everything from laptop computers to mobile phones.
Technical definitions of the term “late adopter” vary. Loosely speaking, it is a person who buys a product or service after half of a population has done so. Late adopters tend to share certain characteristics: They are skeptical of marketing and tend to point out differences between advertised claims and the actual product. They often value a product’s core attributes, ignoring the bells and whistles intended to upsell the latest model. They may not try something new until weeks, months or even years after the crowd has moved on.
The Paths of Late Adopters (scroll down to continue reading)
From left: Dustin Schinn; Ryan Fissel; Tnder; Uber
A 19th century French sociologist, Gabriel Tarde, explored how technologies spread as a result of imitation of the elite. In his day, late adopters were pigeon-holed as less educated, from a lower social class and with less purchasing power than innovators and early adopters. Terry Clark, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago who has written on Tarde, says technological and societal changes mean that today’s late adopters exist in all income, educational and social groups.
Ryan Fissel, a 35-year-old Columbus, Ohio, resident, is a late adopter; he tried Uber for the first time last year. He says he doesn’t really have financial reasons for waiting for the latest Hollywood releases to come to the Redbox DVD-rental before seeing them. It’s just ...
