For this assignment, you will write a 4-5 paragraph essay in the same manner as you did for Writing Assignment #1 on one of the topics below.  All writing assignments have Turnitin enabled for plagiarism detection. MLA format Topic #1.  Unit 1B's introduction to the Five Great Themes of World Literature states with regard to the hero:  "The surest way to understand what a culture of the past most values is to focus on what it considers heroic, in that a culture recognizes its heroes as embodying its most important ideas, the values that are essential."  Discuss the diverse values that our two epic heroes, Rustem and Dante, embody.  Which values embodied by these epic heroes are endorsed or celebrated by their societies?  Are any of their values condemned or rejected by their societies?  Illustrate your discussion with specific examples of the heroes' obligations to their societies and what their values reflect about their cultures. Topic #2. Although two very different literary works, both the Shahnameh and Inferno deal centrally with the existence of human suffering and mortality.  Discuss how the two deal with such issues as  · what causes human suffering; · what seems inevitably tragic about human existence; · how one should deal with suffering; · what one should learn from an understanding of human mortality. From the Shahnameh your essay will of course focus on Rustem; for Dante, you have many options, but the following characters and their sad stories make especially good choices for the subject (but you can choose others if you wish; just one will do):  Virgil, Francesca, Pier della Vigna, Brunetto Latini, Guido de Montefeltro.

1. For this assignment, you will write a 4-5 paragraph essay in the
same manner as you did for Writing Assignment #1 on one of
the topics below. All writing assignments have Turnitin
enabled for plagiarism detection. MLA format
Topic #1. Unit 1B's introduction to the Five Great Themes of
World Literature states with regard to the hero: "The surest
way to understand what a culture of the past most values is to
focus on what it considers heroic, in that a culture recognizes
its heroes as embodying its most important ideas, the values that
are essential." Discuss the diverse values that our two epic
heroes, Rustem and Dante, embody. Which values embodied by
these epic heroes are endorsed or celebrated by their societies?
Are any of their values condemned or rejected by their
societies? Illustrate your discussion with specific examples of
the heroes' obligations to their societies and what their values
reflect about their cultures.
Topic #2. Although two very different literary works, both
the Shahnameh and Inferno deal centrally with the existence of
human suffering and mortality. Discuss how the two deal with
such issues as
· what causes human suffering;
· what seems inevitably tragic about human existence;
· how one should deal with suffering;
· what one should learn from an understanding of human
mortality.
From the Shahnameh your essay will of course focus on
Rustem; for Dante, you have many options, but the following
characters and their sad stories make especially good choices
for the subject (but you can choose others if you wish; just one
will do): Virgil, Francesca, Pier della Vigna, Brunetto Latini,
Guido de Montefeltro.

2. Enclosed please find samples taken from The Plumber
Connection Inc. website, in the attached file, for your review. I
have provided this information as a basis by which to pull
critical information that should be included, or referenced,
when determining the type of info that would be applicable to
Gauge Construction Inc. For instance, on the second page of
your draft, labeled “Specializing In,” you might want to use the
information I have provided you as a starting point; this
information should not be repeated verbatim since we are
attempting to develop an identity for Gauge Construction, Inc.
that is new and innovative. You may want to look to TPC Inc.
website to get a feel for the types of generic construction and
plumbing photos you may want to integrate as well. When
referencing Gauge Construction as a commercial construction
supplier, we want to avoid verbiage such as “middle man”;
Gauge Construction, Inc. will be targeting Public Works
projects in the future and the term “middle man” would be,
perhaps, more applicable if we were only seeking jobs within
the private residential market. Also, we do not want to
reference Gauge Construction, Inc. as an extension of (or
“previously known as”) The Plumbers Connection Inc. Gauge
Construction, Inc. is a completely separate legal entity, with it’s
own CSLB number and certifications. While TPC Inc. was
primarily a residential plumbing service provider, Gauge
Construction, Inc. will not be – it’s primary focus will be
commercial construction and supply and commercial plumbing
for Public Works projects, limited to Southern California. To
date, the only certifications we have received are the SBE and
DVBE code of 2016271. Gauge Construction, Inc. is also
S.A.M. registered, it’s registration number is 116890421. I do
not know if we have received our CAGE Code yet or a CPUC
number yet….please feel free to ask Professor Gonzalez about

3. the status of those items. Currently, a website has not been
established for Gauge Construction, Inc. In speaking with
Gary, he told me he provided you with the contact information
for his website designer, Carl. You have been invited to ask
questions or share information with Carl, should the need arise.
I’m sure sharing your ideas with Carl will be helpful in the
development of the Gauge Construction, Inc. website. One
last note, it is extremely important that particular attention be
paid to the spelling, grammar and punctuation when developing
our social media presence. First impressions only happen once
and are critically important when launching a new
company….as simple as it might seem, spelling, grammar and
punctuation reflect the level of professionalism and experience
a company has and any mistakes in those areas denotes a
substandard level of preparation and professionalism. Please be
sure to pay attention to these areas. If you have any questions
or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact Gary or myself. We will be happy to assist you in any
way we can. Thank you for providing your most recent
update….we look forward to seeing your team’s development
with the next.

Marketing Strategy
Social media uploads
· Gauge construction needs to maintain social media presence
on a weekly basis. Updates should be made once a week
Monday-Thursday. This establishes a strong presence and
allows past, present and future clients to stay familiar with
Gauge Construction and all that are currently or previously have
worked on. Social Media presence is vital as it reaches out to a

8. larger population of people. Possible clients are always
searching online for quotes and pictures of work that has been
finished. A major part of this is consistency. By staying on task
and updating profiles as much as possible you are able to
maintain current clients and reach out to many more with fresh
new product and ideas.
· All profiles should be easily accessible, meaning that after
every post or update, it should include contact information for
Gauge Construction. (email, phone number, address and other
social pages where clients are able to see more information)
Email Captures
· One of the other ways Gauge Construction will be able to
reach a larger database is through emails. Including an email
option for updates and new information subscriptions allows
clients to stay up to date with everything involved with Gauge
Construction. It also makes it easy to contact all those who are
subscribed with Gauge Construction. This is something that can
be added to the website as an introduction offer when accessing
the website.
