George Orwell s Nineteen Eighty Four
Who said Fiction was Fake?
Imagine a place where the government is feared and seen as the center of the universe. No one dares
to go against it because of the torture and punishments that can occur. Propaganda is everywhere, and
no one knows what is the truth and what is a lie. Not knowing if today will be your last. This may
seem like an insight to a fictional novel, but this is not the case, this is a reality for some people. Like
in the novel Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell, the North Korean government uses fear to
control their citizens, and supervises the type of media presented through technology. By running
everything through a totalitarian regime, no one has the power or courage to fight back (North Korea:
Government) (Cha 13).
What is a way to get even the most stubborn person to follow commands? Fear. Fear is an effective
method of control that is used in both the governments of Nineteen Eighty Four and North Korea.
Oceania, the country where the novel takes place, has telescreens that claim to be watching everyone
at all times (Orwell 5). You had to live did live, from habit that became instinct in assumption that
every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinised (Orwell
5). This kind of knowledge scares Winston and the citizens into obeying what the government says,
since they don t want to do something that can give the government a reason to punish them. Even the
slightest infraction can get someone in trouble:

Discontinuity And Irrational Relations In Katy Perry s...
The music video for Katy Perry s song, Rise , shows her overcoming each obstacle she comes across.
The video utilizes both rhythmic and spatial relations as well as using continuity and discontinuity
between shots in order to tell the story of the song. First, the video utilizes rhythmic relation to get the
viewer anticipating the clip change. Essentially, rhythmic relation is the length of the individual clips.
The music video is a compilation of various length clips that utilize both continuity and discontinuity

During a film, a man steals his pocket watch and he follows the tips in his book to try to find it. Later
in the film, he falls asleep and enters the realm of the movie where he is a phenomenal detective and
works to find who stole the pearls. The rhythmic relation in Sherlock Jr. offers discontinuity through
the varying lengths of scenes and through the obvious changes between clips that reveal the editing.
For example, the film contains some clips which are very quick quotes from the dialogue both in front
of and behind the clip. Discontinuity is also offered through the rhythmic relation with several
extended scenes. One of these scenes is when Sherlock Jr. is sitting on the couch while the girl and the
bad guy are in the kitchen talking. The clip rolls for an extended period of time with no interruptions
as Sherlock Jr. attempts to get the bad guy away from the girl and humiliate him by making him slip

The Resistance to Change
As a person one might find that we follow a specific routine on the day to day basis. Sudden changes
to these routines feels weird and out of place. In William Faulkner s A Rose For Emily based in a
fictional town called Jefferson taking place during the twentieth century. The time period is indeed an
important factor because southern tradition was above all of the highest importance. This short story
gives the audience details of life during that time in which they followed the values of southern
tradition and the importance to never stray away from those traditions. The context of the story is
laced with subliminal messages of humanities resistance to change. In Faulkner s A Rose For Emily

Which gives us the narrator s opinion on the subject of change, which is disapproval.
In A Rose For Emily the narrator uses the rose as a symbol of resistance to change. Having been
mentioned in both the title and in the bed next to the body of Homer. Symbolizing the romance of
southern tradition (Kurtz 40). When a person receives the rose it is tradition to place it in the pages of
a book preserving its memory (Kurtz 30). Homer Barron is himself A Rose For Emily and symbolizes
southern tradition. By murdering Homer in the psychotic fashion detailed in the story she has
preserved his memory for herself. His decaying body is symbolic for the rose left in the pages of the
book (Kurtz 40). Like the Rose, Emily s watch which is usually connected to a chain in her pocket is
symbolic. Having been placed in her pocket the loud ticking is a constant reminder of how change
annoys Emily. The fact that the Keys 4 watch is not visible where she can watch time fly is an
example of Emily s pathetic attempt to hide the passing of time and control change (Schwab 215).
Emily can be compared to Queen Victoria known to adapt to traditional values and feared for straying
away from those values (Dilworth 255). This comparison is the enhancement of Emily s fear of
change because the queen herself was disgusted with the very idea of change. Prince Albert a

Mr Bean Character Analysis
In the excerpt of the television show, Merry Christmas Mr Bean , directed by John Brinkin with the
actors Rowan Atteinson, who plays Mr Bean and Matilda Zieglar, who plays Irma Gobb. The episode
features and consists of inter linked sketches, based upon an excerpt when Mr Bean is preparing a
Christmas lunch. In this assessment task this comic excerpt is to be analysed, and individually in essay
format, analyse its use of the elements of drama, stage craft and comic style to determine the creation
of comic meaning. The elements used within the excerpt are all contributed to create and draw a larger
focus to the comedic impact trying to be pursued; this is done successfully due to the use of human
context (roles and relationships), tension (tension of the task, relationship, mystery, and surprise) and
movement (e.g. physical actions, gestures and facial expressions). Human context is displayed within
the excerpt when displaying dimensions of the main character and how they help to develop his
character; this is done by characterising Mr Bean himself and associating him in the opening scene,
where he is presented making up in a childish manner and expression of his relation with Teddy his
toy bear, to the audience. Other than the initial relationship introduced throughout the beginning of the
excerpt, the relationship with Irma reassures the audience that Mr Bean although he acts childish and
immature he still possess traits that position him as an adult. Another theme

A Literary Analysis Of Esperanza Rising By Pam Muñoz Ryan
Literary Analysis of Esperanza Rising To foreshadow events in books or to tell the meaning of a story,
authors often use symbolism. Symbolism uses people, places, or things that have their own meaning,
to express something different. The author of Esperanza Rising, Pam Muñoz Ryan, uses a certain fruit
or vegetable to symbolize events of emotions that occur in the chapter. Three chapters in Esperanza
Rising that represent an important part of the book are Los Higos, Las Cebollas, and Los Aquacates.
In Esperanza Rising, figs, onions, and avocados symbolize a new beginning, the acceptance of starting
anew, and the rewards followed after hardship. Los Higos, or figs, represent a new beginning, because
of Esperanza s journey through the fig orchard. Mama and Esperanza execute their plan, in which they
leave under the cover of darkness for California. During their trip, they walk through the fig orchard
separating El Rancho de las Roses and Señor Rodriquez s ranch. When Esperanza turned around at the
end of the fig orchard, She could see nothing behind her but a trail of splattered figs she had
resentfully smashed beneath her feet. (p.57) The smashed figs represent her old life disappearing,

Comparing Aristotle And John Stuart Mill
Chelsea Kearney
PHIL 231: Ethics
28 April 2015
Essay 2
Comparisons on Pleasure in Morality
The role of pleasure in morality has been examined thoroughly throughout the beginning of
philosophy and continues to be a questionable issue. With these in depth examinations, some similar
outlooks as well as differing views have been recorded. Many philosophers have dissected this
important topic, however I intend to concentrate of the famous works of Aristotle, Immanuel Kant,
and John Stuart Mill. After meticulously analyzing each of the above philosophers texts, I personally
prefer the position of utilitarian and Benthamite, John Stuart Mill. After comparing and contrasting the
positions and reasonings of these philosophers, I will demonstrate my own reasons why I have chosen
John Stuart Mill as the most established in his theory of the role of pleasure in morality.
Aristotle was a particularly influential Grecian philosopher and student of Plato who lived from
384BC 322BC (ADD CITATION). Within Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle outlines the thoughts of the
general population along with his regards and rationales in explaining many philosophical premises.
But to concentrate on how Aristotle feels about the role of pleasure in morality, Aristotle introduces
the idea that most people think happiness involves pleasure. He goes on to interpret the roles of
different pleasures and their virtues and vices, giving examples such as as bodily pleasures and soul
pleasures.

There were family owned enterprises in Korea in the period before 1961 but the particular state
corporate alliance came into being with the regime of Park Chung Hee (1961 1979). Park modeled this
arrangement on the zaibatsu system which developed in Japan during the Meiji Era. There were
significant differences between the zaibatsu and the chaebol, the most significant of which was the
source of capital. The zaibatsu were organized around a bank for their source of capital. The chaebol
in contrast were prohibited from owning a bank. The Park regime nationalized the banks of South
Korea and could channel scarce capital to industries and firms it saw as necessary for achieving
national objectives. The government favored chaebol had special privileges and grew large. This gave
the impression of economic success for the chaebol that was not always valid. In some cases chaebol
grew not because they were profitable but merely because they could borrow vast funds. When the
international economy took a downturn these debt ridden businesses were in trouble. In 1999 one
quarter of the manufacturers in South Korea did not earn enough to meet the payments required for
their debt. In recent years there has been the growth of mid sized corporations which are outside of the

Neck Injury Claims
Neck Injury Claims What is a neck injury? Any trauma to your neck area, including the region from
the top of your spine down to your back, and all of the surrounding muscles, ligaments and tendons, is

been previously heard by the Supreme Court resulting in a 7 1 decision that explained the University
had no grounds to apply any preference to racial minorities in the application or the acceptance
process. The case was reopened at both the fifth circuit court and the Supreme Court. There will be
seven justices presiding over this case, with the death of Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Elena

debated before in the Supreme Court, in the case of Grutter v. Bollinger. The University of Michigan
Law School had denied the admission of Barbara Grutter, a white female. The Law School admits that
it uses race as a factor in making admissions decisions because it serves a compelling interest in
achieving diversity among its student body. The court ruled in favor of the University of Michigan,
because no single factor eliminated a certain applicant from being denied admission and race was seen
as a factor that would help diversity in the law school. This case was referred to in the discussion
phase of this hearing. In the case, the plaintiff accused UT at Austin of racially discriminating against

Classical Influences On Modern Films And Literature
Vuong Khuat Classical influences on modern films and literature
Classical Greece and Rome were ancient civilizations that existed 2500 years ago, and are regarded by
numerous scholars as the foundation of humanities in various fields. In popular culture, Ancient
Greece and Rome are portrayed substantially in books and movies; however, not many people are
aware of how they also shape our thoughts, ideals, and motivations. Through an analysis of classical
elements often portrayed in popular media, this essay attempts to illustrate how the representation of
classical Greece and Rome in books and movies influence our lives and emphasize the need to stay
informed as these influences can be both beneficial and detrimental to our perception of the world.
The way ancient culture can impact our ideals is demonstrated by various contemporary adaptations of
Greek mythology. For instance, in 1997, Walt Disney produced the animated movie Hercules, based
on stories about the legendary Greek hero who persevered through numerous labors and challenges to
eventually gained a place in Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. Hercules was a major box office
hit among children and had left a deep impression on how they perceive the qualities of a hero.

War Is Kind Irony
Comparative Essay on Stephen Crane s Use of Irony in War is Kind and A Mystery of Heroism
If you ask a group of people how they feel about war, you re likely to get quite a few different
responses. While some think war is the only way to settle our issues, others believe it is just another
way to start them. People go into wars looking for change but the change they get isn t always the
change they were searching for. Stephen Crane uses irony in War is Kind and A Mystery of Heroism
to prove he is opposed to war by sarcastically pointing out the negative aspects of it and the feelings
that surround them. In the poem War is Kind the author uses sarcasm and irony to point out the
negative aspects of war while still reaching out to the people that support it. He points out how people
are all supposed to think of death in the war as a normality by saying Make plain to them the
excellence of killing, and a field where a thousand corpses lie . He describes the violence and death of
the war while always resorting back to calling it kind, because that s what everyone perceives it as.
The author makes it seem as though right when men are born they are immediately brought up to fight
for our country by saying, Little souls who thirst for fight, These men were born to drill ... Show more

Murder And Fulfilling Tone In The Rattler

snake. Seeing the snake was sudden for him, but the man had to choose between his morals and his
duties in order to protect one life or the other. He decides to choose his duties of helping others to keep
them from being in the situation as him in the future. The diction which is emphasized upon the story

Different Meanings And Meanings Of The Religion Of Hinduism
Hinduism
The four terms Braham, Karma, Moksha and Atman are key terms in the religion of Hinduism each
with different meanings and contributions to the understanding and following of the Hindu faith.
Brahman
To begin with Braham can t exactly be defined. It is believed to be the truth and reality, Hindus
believe that Brahman is the one supreme being; Brahman is absolute and formless and is the universe.
Brahman is not a God as such but is more like a spirit which is everywhere from India to your cutlery

supports everything. Some Hindus relate this power to Atman (themselves) while others disagree.

Moksha is defined as the fourth Artha and is the highest of all Artha s, you can achieve Moksha during
this life, or after death and it is the most highly regarded goal in Hinduism. A useful analogy of
Moksha is by viewing your soul as a green bird which rests in a green tree. We are the bird and the
tree is the supreme god, when you land into the tree Moksha is achieved, you are just like the supreme
god, no longer ignorant and desiring anything, but still your own person. It is the unification of man
and God.
Atman
Atman is defined as eternal self; it is basically your natural soul without egos and falseness, and
underlies our true existence. Atman is the idea of exposing yourself as a spiritual being rather than a
material being, so in reality you could say that you are a spiritual being (Atman) having a human
experience rather than the opposite. Atman is present in every living thing from us humans to the little
flower in the back of your garden, it is everlasting, and from a human point of view your body is a
house for the atman to dwell in.
Importance of the above terms
Following on the importance of Moksha, Brahman, Karma and Atman are as follows. To begin with
Moksha is significant to Hindu s as it is the release from the cycle of death and rebirth, and sets them
free from all the pain and suffering experience in this world. It is a significant concept to them as it is

Physical Benefits Of Physical Strength And Physical Fitness
PART A
1
Cardiovascular Endurance is the ability of your heart, lungs, and blood vessels to delivery oxygen to
your body tissue during physical activity. The more efficiently your body delivers oxygen, the lower
your breathing rate is. An activity to improve your cardioactive strength is swimming. It builds up
endurance and increases lung capacity. This type of exercise can slowly be bumped up after your body
gets use to each exercise.
Muscular endurance is the ability to have a muscle or group of muscles to do a repeated action against
a resisting force over a course of time. A way you can improve your muscular endurance is by doing
simple actions like push ups, plank position in yoga, and sit ups.
Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force a muscle can use against a resistance in a single
action. Lifting, squatting, and bench pressing weights are all activities that can improve muscular
strength.
Flexibility is how much you can bend without damaging any part of your body. The range of motion
your joints and muscles can move freely. People practice their flexibility by doing the splits and casual
stretches in yoga and tai chi classes. These should be done regularly to stop the muscles from seizing

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS REPORT
The fiscal year 2004 was a relatively soft year for Barnes Noble, Incorporated (B N). Blockbuster
nonfiction books that came out during the year may not have come from the company, but business
remained strong. This is due to the million of books already in the market, including phenomenal

thousands of new releases during the year. This claim was supported by the stable and strong figures
embodied in the financial statements.

Just because B N is primarily a merchandising company wherein cost of goods sold is a vital
expenditure, the Gross Profit Margin rate is a significant ratio as this helps in evaluating inventory
control measures. Moreover, gross profit is the very thing that recovers operating expenses. B N
maintains the rate at 30% with slight differences through the comparative years. The year 2004 figure
of 30.51% is consistent with the company s overall improvement.
The rate used to evaluate the efficiency of assets to generate income is called the Rate Earned on
Average Assets, or Return on Investment (ROI). There was a slight decrease in 2004 from 2003,
posing the figures 4.03% and 4.46%, respectively. Though it cannot be concluded in an instant that the
company is inefficient in asset utilization, especially when the asset turnover rate is considered in the
evaluation. As previously stated, income from discontinued operations which forms part of the net
income affects the rate. Rate Earned on Average Equity likewise showed such a decrease, 13.38% in
2003 to 11.91% in 2004, or a difference of 1.47%. Investors need not panic for this immaterial
reduction although it pays to investigate further, especially that the Retained Earnings balance
decreased by US$138M or 26.44% from 2003 to 2004.

The Characteristics Of Raskolyevsky s Duality Vs. Dostoevsky
One of the most peculiar traits about Raskolnikov is that despite him murdering two people, he still
has moments during the novel when he helps others. One would not expect generosity to be present in
a man with a superiority complex, yet at times he can be found donating the last of his kopecks even
when, he himself, desperately needs them. At times, this duality can be confusing to the reader
because it seems as if there are two Raskolnikov s. Which one then, is the true Raskolnikov? Despite
Raskolnikov s attempt to set himself above the common man, he cannot deny his true nature, as shown
when he saves a young girl from the malicious intentions of an older man. Before his interactions with
the young girl, the reader sees Raskolnikov acting in a selfish manner. After reading his mother s letter
Raskolnikov stating that Dunya is to marry a wealthy older man he thinks, how can she not sacrifice
even such a daughter for the sake of such first born son! Oh, dear and unjust hearts (Dostoevsky 44)!
Egocentrically, he incorrectly assumes that the decisions his family has made are entirely for his
benefit. As a superior man , Raskolnikov does not need anyone s help at this point in his life. He is a
man who is willing to kill for the sake of an idea. Further, he thinks he should be the one making
decisions. Raskolnikov firmly states that it won t happen as long as I live, it won t, it won t! I don t
accept it (Dostoevsky 44). Yet, by trying to control his family, it reveals how desperate he is to have
order in his own life. Raskolnikov s life is falling apart, he has no job, owes money to his landlady,
and (suffers from?) crippling anxiety. He uses his superior mindset as a coping mechanism to avoid
addressing the problems that are plaguing his life. He does not have to take responsibility for them
because he believes that his word is above the law. Therefore, his sister has to reject this marriage
from Luzhin in his mind, showing the reader just how bad of a rut he is in life. This man is at his
lowest point in life but he will not accept help from those that truly care about him. In his mind,
control is the ultimate goal for him... yet, despite his selfish thoughts and controlling nature, he is

Rapunzel s moral rights were not being respected, this is where The Rights Approach ethical standard

Serotonin Essay
Serotonin, also known as 5 hydroxytryptamine (5 HT), is a neurotransmitter synthesized by enzymes
from the amino acid tryptophan. This neurotransmitter is produced and released by serotonergic
neurons in the brain and intestines, and it can also be found in the bowels and blood platelets.
Researchers believe that it s contributing to our mood, self confidence, sleep, sexual activity, emotions
and appetite. (1)
The role of serotonin on the mood of depressed patients is not fully understood. Studies show that a
shortage of serotonin affects an area of brain that predominates emotions: the amygdala. (2) This
almond shaped brain region connects emotions to our sensory perceptions and appears particularly
important in the formation of negative emotions. A lack of serotonin makes the amygdala more
susceptible to sensory stimuli. In an experiment where they temporarily lowered serotonin levels in
the brain in healthy subjects, they recorded a stronger reaction of the amygdala. (3) Foreign studies
confirm this role of amygdala during depression.

difference between head injuries in football than when playing other sports. These differences can be
from minor, moderate, to sever. Football is more on the sever side because of the impact and number
of hits they are taking. On the other hand sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis are not as of
aggressive as football. And this is due to the lack of contact in the sports. These sports are very strict
about the contact when playing in a game, they are charged with a penalty or flagged if a player makes
the slightest contact with another player. Therefore you would rarely see a head injury let alone a sever
head injury when playing those kind of sports. With football being more aggressive and more contact,
the head injuries can lead to a player being hospitalized, and depending on the impact on the blow can
lead to death. When playing sports there are many different types of injuries. There are multiple ways

Why is Fighting Allowed in Ice Hockey?
The frequent fighting tradition in the armature and professional Ice Hockey has been a part of the
sport for many centuries and the fans love it when individuals or teams fight. Contrary to popular
belief, fighting is punishable in the game although tolerated. The fines are minor, commonly five
minutes out of the game. This situation is different in other sports where fighting attracts suspension,
ejection, and huge fines. The fighting culture in Ice Hockey goes by the name the code in what
officials say is allowing the game to police itself by making somebody pay the consequences of doing
something bad. Some fights are light while others are serious and lead to spilling of blood and harm to
body parts. Since the early 1900s, fighting in the sport has been on the decline as the game develops
and more rules are put in place to protect players.

emotions, and the equipment s they use. There are different reasons given as to why fighting occurs,

Salem Witchcraft Trials Of 1692
Courtney Gray English III 3rd block Mrs. Gray 19 March 2012 Important Facts in the Salem
Witchcraft Trials of 1692 Black magic. The Dark Arts. Voodoo. Sorcery. Conjuring. Witchcraft. No
matter what they chose to call it, witchcraft was an evil association with the devil and the use of magic
or the alleged use of magic, in the eyes of the Puritans of Salem, Massachusetts. And it was the
alleged part that caused the Salem Witchcraft Trials tragedy of 1692. The Puritans believed the signs
of witchcraft were apparent if only people knew what to look for. Witches had physical signs, called
witches marks, such as moles or other skin anomalies (Linder ¶15). Anyone in league with the devil
was also believed to be unable to recite the Lord s Prayer, and George Burroughs cast serious doubt on
the validity of the trials when he recited the Lord s Prayer flawlessly as he stood upon the gallows
(Netzley 215). Sadly, it was not enough to spare his life. The magistrates also believed spectral
evidence was an acceptable means of identifying a witch. Spectral evidence was testimony that relied
on the accusers, who allegedly saw the accused witch s specter loose in Salem, causing pain and
trouble to the good people in town (Benson, Brannen and Valentine 1362). Spectral evidence was
impossible to prove or disprove, since only the afflicted people could see the specters (Benson,

Some Legal Case Studies
Legal Case Studies Question One The basic premise of this case has to do with contract law and how
that is applied. Since Australian law follows the principles set down in English contract law (as is the
case with most other English speaking countries), most of the basic legislation differs little from that
basis. However, there have been cases and specific legislation that make Australian contracts unique.
First, it has to be understood what is necessary for a contract to be legal, and then the determination
has to be made whether John and Anton s verbal contract met those requirements. Australian contract
law looks at oral contracts with the same degree of obligation on the part of the contractors as it does a
written contract in most instances. Maritime insurance must be contracted via a signed agreement as
must most contracts where land is exchanged (Fifoot s Law of Contract). This varies somewhat
according to jurisdiction, but most Australian jurisdictions show no distinction between written and
oral contracts. For either type of contract to be legal, it has to follow the six rules of contract:
Agreement where one party makes an offer and the other accepts it; Consideration where one party
gives something in exchange for something from the other party; Intention where both parties intend
to abide by the contract; Capacity where both parties are mentally capable of understanding the
contract; Genuine consent where both parties agree to the contract of their own

  • 2. George Orwell s Nineteen Eighty Four Who said Fiction was Fake? Imagine a place where the government is feared and seen as the center of the universe. No one dares to go against it because of the torture and punishments that can occur. Propaganda is everywhere, and no one knows what is the truth and what is a lie. Not knowing if today will be your last. This may seem like an insight to a fictional novel, but this is not the case, this is a reality for some people. Like in the novel Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell, the North Korean government uses fear to control their citizens, and supervises the type of media presented through technology. By running everything through a totalitarian regime, no one has the power or courage to fight back (North Korea: Government) (Cha 13). What is a way to get even the most stubborn person to follow commands? Fear. Fear is an effective method of control that is used in both the governments of Nineteen Eighty Four and North Korea. Oceania, the country where the novel takes place, has telescreens that claim to be watching everyone at all times (Orwell 5). You had to live did live, from habit that became instinct in assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinised (Orwell 5). This kind of knowledge scares Winston and the citizens into obeying what the government says, since they don t want to do something that can give the government a reason to punish them. Even the slightest infraction can get someone in trouble: ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

First, the video utilizes rhythmic relation to get the viewer anticipating the clip change. Essentially, rhythmic relation is the length of the individual clips.

Later in the film, he falls asleep and enters the realm of the movie where he is a phenomenal detective and works to find who stole the pearls. The rhythmic relation in Sherlock Jr. offers discontinuity through the varying lengths of scenes and through the obvious changes between clips that reveal the editing. For example, the film contains some clips which are very quick quotes from the dialogue both in front of and behind the clip. Discontinuity is also offered through the rhythmic relation with several extended scenes. One of these scenes is when Sherlock Jr. is sitting on the couch while the girl and the bad guy are in the kitchen talking. The clip rolls for an extended period of time with no interruptions as Sherlock Jr. attempts to get the bad guy away from the girl and humiliate him by making him slip on a banana peel.

In William Faulkner s A Rose For Emily based in a fictional town called Jefferson taking place during the twentieth century. The time period is indeed an important factor because southern tradition was above all of the highest importance. This short story gives the audience details of life during that time in which they followed the values of southern tradition and the importance to never stray away from those traditions. The context of the story is laced with subliminal messages of humanities resistance to change. In Faulkner s A Rose For Emily the lead character is the center piece of ...

In A Rose For Emily the narrator uses the rose as a symbol of resistance to change. Having been mentioned in both the title and in the bed next to the body of Homer. Symbolizing the romance of southern tradition (Kurtz 40). When a person receives the rose it is tradition to place it in the pages of a book preserving its memory (Kurtz 30). Homer Barron is himself A Rose For Emily and symbolizes southern tradition. By murdering Homer in the psychotic fashion detailed in the story she has preserved his memory for herself. His decaying body is symbolic for the rose left in the pages of the book (Kurtz 40). Like the Rose, Emily s watch which is usually connected to a chain in her pocket is symbolic. Having been placed in her pocket the loud ticking is a constant reminder of how change annoys Emily. The fact that the Keys 4 watch is not visible where she can watch time fly is an example of Emily s pathetic attempt to hide the passing of time and control change (Schwab 215). Emily can be compared to Queen Victoria known to adapt to traditional values and feared for straying away from those values (Dilworth 255). This comparison is the enhancement of Emily s fear of change because the queen herself was disgusted with the very idea of change. Prince Albert a foreigner was the unpopular husband of Queen Victoria because of his ethnicity. In this comparison Prince Albert can be ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. Mr Bean Character Analysis In the excerpt of the television show, Merry Christmas Mr Bean , directed by John Brinkin with the actors Rowan Atteinson, who plays Mr Bean and Matilda Zieglar, who plays Irma Gobb. The episode features and consists of inter linked sketches, based upon an excerpt when Mr Bean is preparing a Christmas lunch. In this assessment task this comic excerpt is to be analysed, and individually in essay format, analyse its use of the elements of drama, stage craft and comic style to determine the creation of comic meaning. The elements used within the excerpt are all contributed to create and draw a larger focus to the comedic impact trying to be pursued; this is done successfully due to the use of human context (roles and relationships), tension (tension of the task, relationship, mystery, and surprise) and movement (e.g. physical actions, gestures and facial expressions). Human context is displayed within the excerpt when displaying dimensions of the main character and how they help to develop his character; this is done by characterising Mr Bean himself and associating him in the opening scene, where he is presented making up in a childish manner and expression of his relation with Teddy his toy bear, to the audience. Other than the initial relationship introduced throughout the beginning of the excerpt, the relationship with Irma reassures the audience that Mr Bean although he acts childish and immature he still possess traits that position him as an adult.

  • 13. A Literary Analysis Of Esperanza Rising By Pam Muñoz Ryan Literary Analysis of Esperanza Rising To foreshadow events in books or to tell the meaning of a story, authors often use symbolism. Symbolism uses people, places, or things that have their own meaning, to express something different. The author of Esperanza Rising, Pam Muñoz Ryan, uses a certain fruit or vegetable to symbolize events of emotions that occur in the chapter. Three chapters in Esperanza Rising that represent an important part of the book are Los Higos, Las Cebollas, and Los Aquacates. In Esperanza Rising, figs, onions, and avocados symbolize a new beginning, the acceptance of starting anew, and the rewards followed after hardship. Los Higos, or figs, represent a new beginning, because of Esperanza s journey through the fig orchard. Mama and Esperanza execute their plan, in which they leave under the cover of darkness for California. During their trip, they walk through the fig orchard separating El Rancho de las Roses and Señor Rodriquez s ranch. When Esperanza turned around at the end of the fig orchard, She could see nothing behind her but a trail of splattered figs she had resentfully smashed beneath her feet. (p.57) The smashed figs represent her old life disappearing, therefore leading Esperanza to start over with a new beginning. Her walking through the fig orchard symbolizes the ...

  • 14. Comparing Aristotle And John Stuart Mill Chelsea Kearney PHIL 231: Ethics 28 April 2015 Essay 2 Comparisons on Pleasure in Morality The role of pleasure in morality has been examined thoroughly throughout the beginning of philosophy and continues to be a questionable issue. With these in depth examinations, some similar outlooks as well as differing views have been recorded. Many philosophers have dissected this important topic, however I intend to concentrate of the famous works of Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, and John Stuart Mill. After meticulously analyzing each of the above philosophers texts, I personally prefer the position of utilitarian and Benthamite, John Stuart Mill. After comparing and contrasting the positions and reasonings of these philosophers, I will demonstrate my own reasons why I have chosen John Stuart Mill as the most established in his theory of the role of pleasure in morality. Aristotle was a particularly influential Grecian philosopher and student of Plato who lived from 384BC 322BC (ADD CITATION). Within Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle outlines the thoughts of the general population along with his regards and rationales in explaining many philosophical premises. But to concentrate on how Aristotle feels about the role of pleasure in morality, Aristotle introduces the idea that most people think happiness involves pleasure. He goes on to interpret the roles of different pleasures and their virtues and vices, giving examples such as as bodily pleasures and soul pleasures. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

There were family owned enterprises in Korea in the period before 1961 but the particular state corporate alliance came into being with the regime of Park Chung Hee (1961 1979). Park modeled this arrangement on the zaibatsu system which developed in Japan during the Meiji Era. There were significant differences between the zaibatsu and the chaebol, the most significant of which was the source of capital. The zaibatsu were organized around a bank for their source of capital. The chaebol in contrast were prohibited from owning a bank. The Park regime nationalized the banks of South Korea and could channel scarce capital to industries and firms it saw as necessary for achieving national objectives. The government favored chaebol had special privileges and grew large. This gave the impression of economic success for the chaebol that was not always valid. In some cases chaebol grew not because they were profitable but merely because they could borrow vast funds. When the international economy took a downturn these debt ridden businesses were in trouble. In 1999 one quarter of the manufacturers in South Korea did not earn enough to meet the payments required for their debt. In recent years there has been the growth of mid sized corporations which are outside of the chaebol arrangement. For example, Appeal Telecom was started ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The case was reopened at both the fifth circuit court and the Supreme Court. There will be seven justices presiding over this case, with the death of Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Elena Kagan recusing herself. The question of making admission decisions on the basis of race had been debated before in the Supreme Court, in the case of Grutter v. Bollinger. The University of Michigan Law School had denied the admission of Barbara Grutter, a white female. The Law School admits that it uses race as a factor in making admissions decisions because it serves a compelling interest in achieving diversity among its student body. The court ruled in favor of the University of Michigan, because no single factor eliminated a certain applicant from being denied admission and race was seen as a factor that would help diversity in the law school. This case was referred to in the discussion phase of this hearing. In the case, the plaintiff accused UT at Austin of racially discriminating against her in the application and acceptance process.

Classical Influences On Modern Films And Literature Vuong Khuat Classical influences on modern films and literature Classical Greece and Rome were ancient civilizations that existed 2500 years ago, and are regarded by numerous scholars as the foundation of humanities in various fields. In popular culture, Ancient Greece and Rome are portrayed substantially in books and movies; however, not many people are aware of how they also shape our thoughts, ideals, and motivations.

For instance, in 1997, Walt Disney produced the animated movie Hercules, based on stories about the legendary Greek hero who persevered through numerous labors and challenges to eventually gained a place in Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. Hercules was a major box office hit among children and had left a deep impression on how they perceive the qualities of a hero.

  • 31. The Characteristics Of Raskolyevsky s Duality Vs. Dostoevsky One of the most peculiar traits about Raskolnikov is that despite him murdering two people, he still has moments during the novel when he helps others. One would not expect generosity to be present in a man with a superiority complex, yet at times he can be found donating the last of his kopecks even when, he himself, desperately needs them. At times, this duality can be confusing to the reader because it seems as if there are two Raskolnikov s. Which one then, is the true Raskolnikov? Despite Raskolnikov s attempt to set himself above the common man, he cannot deny his true nature, as shown when he saves a young girl from the malicious intentions of an older man. Before his interactions with the young girl, the reader sees Raskolnikov acting in a selfish manner. After reading his mother s letter Raskolnikov stating that Dunya is to marry a wealthy older man he thinks, how can she not sacrifice even such a daughter for the sake of such first born son! Oh, dear and unjust hearts (Dostoevsky 44)! Egocentrically, he incorrectly assumes that the decisions his family has made are entirely for his benefit. As a superior man , Raskolnikov does not need anyone s help at this point in his life. He is a man who is willing to kill for the sake of an idea. Further, he thinks he should be the one making decisions. Raskolnikov firmly states that it won t happen as long as I live, it won t, it won t! I don t accept it (Dostoevsky 44). Yet, by trying to control his family, it reveals how desperate he is to have order in his own life. Raskolnikov s life is falling apart, he has no job, owes money to his landlady, and (suffers from?) crippling anxiety. He uses his superior mindset as a coping mechanism to avoid addressing the problems that are plaguing his life. He does not have to take responsibility for them because he believes that his word is above the law. Therefore, his sister has to reject this marriage from Luzhin in his mind, showing the reader just how bad of a rut he is in life.

This neurotransmitter is produced and released by serotonergic neurons in the brain and intestines, and it can also be found in the bowels and blood platelets. Researchers believe that it s contributing to our mood, self confidence, sleep, sexual activity, emotions and appetite. (1) The role of serotonin on the mood of depressed patients is not fully understood. Studies show that a shortage of serotonin affects an area of brain that predominates emotions: the amygdala. (2) This almond shaped brain region connects emotions to our sensory perceptions and appears particularly important in the formation of negative emotions. A lack of serotonin makes the amygdala more susceptible to sensory stimuli. In an experiment where they temporarily lowered serotonin levels in the brain in healthy subjects, they recorded a stronger reaction of the amygdala.

There are difference between head injuries in football than when playing other sports. These differences can be from minor, moderate, to sever. Football is more on the sever side because of the impact and number of hits they are taking. On the other hand sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis are not as of aggressive as football.

  • 39. Salem Witchcraft Trials Of 1692 Courtney Gray English III 3rd block Mrs. Gray 19 March 2012 Important Facts in the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692 Black magic. The Dark Arts. Voodoo. Sorcery. Conjuring. Witchcraft. No matter what they chose to call it, witchcraft was an evil association with the devil and the use of magic or the alleged use of magic, in the eyes of the Puritans of Salem, Massachusetts. And it was the alleged part that caused the Salem Witchcraft Trials tragedy of 1692. The Puritans believed the signs of witchcraft were apparent if only people knew what to look for. Witches had physical signs, called witches marks, such as moles or other skin anomalies (Linder ¶15). Anyone in league with the devil was also believed to be unable to recite the Lord s Prayer, and George Burroughs cast serious doubt on the validity of the trials when he recited the Lord s Prayer flawlessly as he stood upon the gallows (Netzley 215). Sadly, it was not enough to spare his life. The magistrates also believed spectral evidence was an acceptable means of identifying a witch. Spectral evidence was testimony that relied on the accusers, who allegedly saw the accused witch s specter loose in Salem, causing pain and trouble to the good people in town (Benson, Brannen and Valentine 1362). Spectral evidence was impossible to prove or disprove, since only the afflicted people could see the specters (Benson, Brannen and Valentine 1362). Once a person was accused of witchcraft, he or she had to be put to the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. Some Legal Case Studies Legal Case Studies Question One The basic premise of this case has to do with contract law and how that is applied. Since Australian law follows the principles set down in English contract law (as is the case with most other English speaking countries), most of the basic legislation differs little from that basis. However, there have been cases and specific legislation that make Australian contracts unique. First, it has to be understood what is necessary for a contract to be legal, and then the determination has to be made whether John and Anton s verbal contract met those requirements. Australian contract law looks at oral contracts with the same degree of obligation on the part of the contractors as it does a written contract in most instances. Maritime insurance must be contracted via a signed agreement as must most contracts where land is exchanged (Fifoot s Law of Contract). This varies somewhat according to jurisdiction, but most Australian jurisdictions show no distinction between written and oral contracts. For either type of contract to be legal, it has to follow the six rules of contract: Agreement where one party makes an offer and the other accepts it; Consideration where one party gives something in exchange for something from the other party; Intention where both parties intend to abide by the contract; Capacity where both parties are mentally capable of understanding the contract; Genuine consent where both parties agree to the contract of their own ...

  • 41. My Life Is A Jaw-Dropping Moment I have never had a literal, involuntary jaw dropping moment. Nothing in my life has ever been that devastating or overwhelming where I felt like my body didn t belong to me anymore. Where my only response was a gaping mouth, tears escaping my eyes to drip down my cheeks, shaking with every breath. Not until I saw footage in the museum of the South Tower come crashing down. On repeat. The weight of this tragedy had never felt so heavy and unbearable than in that moment. 2,997. A number I could count to in about an hour. Unlike a million, billion and trillion it seemed relatively easy to fathom and grasp. It wasn t until I heard the voices of those who had first hand witnessed the collapse of the South Tower that, that number became infinite. Each tragic passing meant an immeasurable network of family, friends, colleagues and neighbors who would feel the constant, painful void of losing a loved one. My mind then went to think, what if it were my mom or dad or sister or best friend or close colleague or next door neighbor in that building. I felt extreme urgency to call my family to remind them how much I loved them and needed them in my life. I then thought about all of the people who couldn t say I love you one last time. Who couldn t hug their mom and snuggle with their dog and kiss their spouse and laugh with their friends. Life is immense. It was the first time in my life where I couldn t fathom how important each life is. I couldn t wrap my head around all the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
