1. Styles Of Essays
Crafting an essay on the topic of "Styles of Essays" can be a challenging yet rewarding
endeavor. The difficulty lies not only in the need for comprehensive knowledge about the
various essay styles but also in the ability to articulate thoughts coherently and engage the reader
effectively.
To begin with, one must delve into the nuances of each essay style, such as narrative,
descriptive, expository, persuasive, and argumentative. Understanding the distinctive features,
structures, and purposes of these styles requires careful research and analysis. The challenge
intensifies as one must not only grasp the theoretical aspects but also develop the skill to apply
these styles effectively in practice.
Another aspect adding to the complexity is the need for creativity and versatility. While adhering
to the conventions of each essay style, the writer must inject a unique voice and perspective into
the work. This demands a profound understanding of the chosen topic and the ability to present
it in a way that captivates the reader's attention.
Moreover, the task involves critical thinking and analytical skills. Different essay styles require
different approaches to presenting arguments, analyzing information, or telling a story.
Developing a coherent and compelling thesis statement and supporting it with well-structured
arguments can be a formidable challenge.
The writing process itself can be demanding, requiring attention to detail, effective use of
language, and mastery of grammar and style. Transitions between paragraphs, clarity of
expression, and maintaining a consistent tone are essential elements that contribute to the overall
quality of the essay.
In conclusion, writing an essay on the diverse styles of essays is no simple feat. It demands a
blend of research, creativity, critical thinking, and writing skills. However, the satisfaction of
mastering this task and creating a well-crafted piece is undoubtedly rewarding.

2. Review Of Middlesex That Became A Bestseller And Won
A...
The development of every person is the journey from childhood to adulthood
through the challenging period of adolescence. This period leads to a great
transformation of the human body which also has a great effect on the
psychological state of a person. Such transformation of a unique intersex person is
discovered by Jeffrey Eugenides in his novel Middlesex that became a bestseller
and won a Pulitzer Prize. The author fills the novel with numerous autobiographic
details, whereas the work traces the story of a biological male who was raised as a girl
until the truth is revealed in the period of adolescence. I also have found a variety of
moments that resonate with my feelings and experiences of adolescence during
puberty that was still far from the hell Calliope faces. The example of the
transformation illustrated by Eugenides in Middlesex can be viewed as a change
that any person goes through, but that is much more radical in its effect. The main
character is introduced in the following first lines of the novel; I was born twice:
first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and
then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in
August of 1974 (Eugenides 8). The rebirth of the main character that is performed
in adolescent age is one of the most crucial themes of the novel. Until the age of
fourteen, Calliope was a girl, and despite how she faced her differences from the rest
of the girls, she did not suggest

The black population in fact more than quadrupled that of the white population, yet it

8. Sophocles Gender Roles
In the Oedipus Cycle by Sophocles, his plays could be read as a critique of women s
roles. We see this in negative attitudes about women in Iocaste, Creon, and Ismene.
Antigone goes against those expectations of women s roles. Creon thinks that women
should always obey the men, and should a woman stand up against a man then he is
weaker than the woman (209). Ismenethink that there is nothing women can do
except listen to men; she thinks that women have no choices of their own (213).
While Iocaste thinks that women are just supposed to marry a man and not
question anything that he does (45). Antigone defies the King s edict of civil law
by following God s law and burying her brother (208). Antigone knows defying the
King in this way would result in her death, but still she accepts full responsibility
because she could not live with herself by putting the will of a man before God.
Iocaste thinks that women cannot do anything without the permission of a man.
Women have to marry into limited positions of power, because women could not
possibly do it correctly on their own (45). Creon is a lot like Oedipus when they talk
of women and women s responsibilities. Creon discounts and ignores the opinions
of women and will not consider what they have to say despite any truth of what
they may be saying (209). Creon shows this by saying This girl is guilty of a double
insolence. Breaking the given laws and boasting of it. Who is the man here, She or I,
if this crime goes unpunished?
9. Analysis Of The Movie The Play Guy
The first shot in the sequence is when Guy has just finished a set against his
opposition and takes a sip of water. Guy looks up the official time. This scene has an
emphasis on time. Guy is concerned and held up by his tennis match, while Bruno
has to reach for the lighter in the grate. The two characters who seem to be very
methodical in their normal actions are now acting on instinct. The tennisannouncer
points out that this is a game that Guy has never played and is known for doing
slow play. The audience knows about how Bruno acts methodically by his calm
demeanor during the carnival murder scene and his nonchalant attitude when
dealing with Guy s acquaintances. This is a parallel between the two characters
that Hitchcock makes. Showing that just because Guy is a civilised man and
aspiring politician doesn t mean he isn t capable of murder just like Bruno. This
idea of Guy killing is plausible throughout the whole movie and adds to the suspense
of the film. The audience could want this from either morbid curiosity or maybe to
humanize Bruno more, honestly there are endless reasons. The tennis match itself,
is also a parallel between Guy and Bruno with sport being a big theme in their
relationship. Bruno makes a deal with Guy to exchange murder. This exchange when
offered kind of seems like a sort of sports proposition. With both of them gambling
their lives and the obvious idea of killing a human is ultimate game. They both go
back and forth in their interactions.

The 92 year old woman was found without a pulse and not breathing in her room at

There have been incredible stories of dead people waking up hours later alive and
literarily kicking their way out of body bags in the morgue or stepping out of
actual coffins. There has been debates over how this could happen. How dead can a
dead person be in order to be legitimately declared as dead and with no likelihood of
the Lazarus effect happening? Some people in the medical community believe that
death should not be treated as a single event but a process that involves the ceasing
of different mechanisms. Apparently, having no pulse or breath does not
immediately mean tissue and cells have also died. When the heart stops the tissue
that makes up the heart gets deprived of oxygen and is subjected to a buildup of
toxins that will gradually kill cells. It is only when all the cells have died that the
body can technically be described as utterly lifeless. However, tissue and cell
degradation can be stunted by a reduction in temperature. At lower temperatures
cells can go into a sort of hibernation. This explains why people drowning in icy
water can have faint heartbeat that s barely discernible that s because the body tries
to conserve life as hard as possible. The medical community have always found cases
like these confounding and they have searched for and come up with plausible
scientific reasoning but science comes short in other
11. How Did Charles Vi Impact The French Government
The Hundred Years War was one of the most influential conflicts in European history.
The Plantagenets of England and the Valois of France fought from 1337 to 1453 for
control of the French throne. During this time of hostility between the two nations,
many kings and queens sat on the English and French throne respectively. One of the
most impactful rulers of this warwas King Charles VI of France (Kagay). Now
known as The Mad King, Charles early improvements and later digressions
eventually led to the demise of the French government, which had a lasting impact
one can recognize to this day. As previously stated, King Charles VI did make
improvements to the French government at a young age, but as a young adult
Charles began to go mad and made irrational decisions that negatively impacted the
French government. King Charles VI was an ineffective ruler because of his
inability to maintain a stable kingdom due to his convilueded mental state. Charles
VI was born on December 3, 1368 in Paris, France, and later crowned at the age of
11. In his first eight years as king, Charles was under the counsel of his uncles until
he declared to rule alone in 1388. During his early rule, Charles made many positive

The cutting device used for this is Ethiopian Stone. By making this incision, which

Next, the body is washed with palm wines and perfumes, including myrrh and
cassia. This process causes the body to smell good and also it also preserved it a
bit longer. Afterwards, the torso is stuffed with linen stuffed with spices in order
to make the body bulk. Next the body is taken to the where they place the body on
another sloping table. The corpse is than covered with a salt called Natron. Natron
is a natural mineral which is found in Egypt. The usage of the Natron is to dry up
the body, and kill most of the bacteria. The table the body lies on is slanted in order
for the liquids to drain down onto a canopic jar. The liquids are would be later
stored in a jar. After around forty to sixty days, depending of the size of the body,
the Natron is removed, and bathed with spices, herbs, and perfumes. After the
eyeballs of the deceased are removed and replaced with glass ones. The torso is also
stuffed with linen, sawdust, ash, or salt. The mouth and nose is either stuffed with
linen, or sealed in beeswax. Once that stage is complete, the finger and toes nails are

The Health Care Conscience Rights Act, or HCCRA, would be a huge overhaul to
the Affordable Care Act as a whole. One of the major changes being the freedom to
choose and not be taxed for not wanting to be covered. Unfortunately this bill has
yet to get pass it s committee and the future of it seems quite dim. As of now if you
indeed choose not to enroll in Obamacare and do not pay your fines the fee will be
taken out of your income tax return by the IRS. After all, if nobody enrolls
Obamacare will fail. In order to avoid this they made it mandatory and gave the IRS
the power to take money from Americans in order to finance something that half of
them would rather not be a part of. Not only is this mandate unconstitutional, it will
fail and ultimately hurt our country in the end. Obamacare also states that all
employers with more than 50 full time workers must provide affordable health
insurance or face a fee of up to 2,000 dollars for every full time employee receiving a
tax credit minus 30. What is a tax credit? Say, Bob for example, decides that his
employer doesn t offer coverage that fits his personal needs. Bob can go to an
exchange and find more affordable coverage that actually covers what he needs it
to. The benefit to bob is that he gets coverage and he would also get a tax cut for
finding the appropriate coverage for him, hence the tax credit. The bad thing is that

Abstract:
Various types of language disorders affect a considerable amount of children
academically and socially worldwide. This article focuses on developmental language
disorders (DLD) caused by central auditory processing disorders (CAPD). A CAPD is
defined as showing difficulties discriminating, identifying and retaining sounds after
the ears have heard the sounds. Both language and auditory are processed in an
infinite number of nuclei throughout both hemispheres of the brain. Thus it has been
hypothesized that abnormalities of the corpus callosum (CC) are correlated with
deficiencies in auditory and language processes. This article reviews ... Show more

I am using the general term language disorder because there is not enough
information on any one particular disorder. Both language and audition are fairly
new areas of research in the world of psychology, in addition to both being very
complex processes. Thus this critic deals with auditory language comprehension of
people with dyslexia, developmental learning disorders, reading disabilities, central
auditory processing disorders, and x linked adrenoleukodystrophy.
Auditory processing of language in a normal brain is thought to encompass the
entire brain and that is a major reason why it so difficult to come to an agreement
on how language is processed (Obler and Gjerlow, 1999). A very popular model
though is the Personal Model proposed in the early 1980 s. This model states that
the central auditory nervous system is made up of many integrating neural systems.
Large myelinated fibers, as well as smaller secondary fibers, interconnect these
neural systems. As information is processed, the further (and higher) it travels into
the brain the more sophisticated and complex information is being processed. (see
figure 1). For example at the cochlear level the pitch, tone, and frequency of the
sound is processed, but as you go into the specific cortices the morphology,
pragmatics, prose, etc. of what is spoken is being processed. And finally sensations
(ex. audition) are not specifically part of the newer
15. Proper Interpretation Of The Bible And Culture Perspective
The writer, Roger Nicole addresses the issues of proper interpretation of the scriptures
in hermeneutic and culture perspective. He implies, that one must avoid reading
meaning into the text that are not inherent in the text. He go on future to say, We
must allow the text to speak for itself without imposing on it a predetermined
interpretation. Study shows axiom (rule of interpretation) of biblical hermeneuticsis
that the interpreter must take into count the literary genre of the passage being
interpreted along with the question of text grammars, philology, background and
history (Nicole.p.356 57).The writer discusses the different between prescriptive or
descriptive texts. It is important in the hermeneutics process to distinguish what in
Scripture is prescriptive, embodying Gods commandment to us, and what is
descriptive, relating events or attitudes that may or may not be desirable
(Nicole.p.357). Even though we Know that God is the primary author of Scripture.
it is imperative that certain practices in both New and Old Testament are merely
describe, or serve as a culture background of the activity even of some who were
God s children, without implying that we shall conform to these practices (Nicole.
P.357)
Here Nicole warns against lifting verses or passages out their context. Each passage
must be understood in light of the passages written before and after it, in light of the
book in which it is found, and in light of larger Canonical Interpretations. The

If a child s close friend moves away they may feel upset that their friend has left,
and maybe anxious about making new friends. As an adult you can encourage them
to play with other children and get them to take part in activities with other children
so they can try and make new friends, and as for them feeling upset you can comfort
them and try get them to have fun so it c slip their mind.
If they move and have to go to a new school, make new friends ect. As a parent or
teacher you can comfort them and let them get used to where they are and not feel
nervous or scared about being somewhere new and unfamiliar and help them to
make friends, by asking them to join in activities, join an after school club or an out
of school club where they will meet new people and get to know
17. Curt Flood Quotes
Curt Flood is a very significant figure, on and off the field. His work to end MLB
conflicts, specifically the reserve clause, was settled over a long, and rather
difficult compromise. Flood s fight is said to be devastating, and worth more than

continue to fight for what would soon end in a compromise in a significant sports
conflict. This wasn t the only thing Flood lost either. Flood quotes I lost money,
coaching jobs, and a shot at the Hall of Fame. This represents how much he was

meant for Curt, and fellow players across the league. During the case, Flood
received support from lots of people, including Hank Greenberg, Jackie Robinson,
and Jim Brosnan, plus others. As time went on though, Flood s case eventually lost
at the U.S. supreme court in 1972, as History.com mentions the fact that no active
players agreed to testify on his behalf. Even though Flood lost, the reserve clause
was eventually thrown out in 1975, and today, nearly 45 years later following the
case, the MLB Players website remind us that Flood s courage and determination
lives on in the lives of all professional athletes. This represents how Curt s hard work
has affected lots of other people, not just him. Tony Clark, the MLBPA Executive
Director, quotes His character, his understanding, and appreciation of the

Brennyn Mackey
2 May 2011
The Secret War of Salem
Exposing the Culprit behind the Mass Hysteria
The Salem Witch Trials were a series of infamous events that demand an explanation
for their occurrence. The trials that took place in 1692 caused neighbors in the
community of Salem Village in the colony of Massachusetts to turn on one another
out of paranoia, accusing one another of witchcraft. According to Carol Karlsen, a
longtime author of the subject, nineteen people were hanged and about 200 others

According to their research:
Ergot poisoning in individuals with adequate vitamin A intakes leads to
gangrenous rather than convulsive symptoms. Vitamin A is found both in fish and
in dairy products. Salem Village was a farming community and Salem Town,
which bordered the village, was a well known seaport; cows and fish were
plentiful. There is no evidence to suggest a vitamin A deficiency in the diet of the
inhabitants, and it would be particularly unlikely for the so called afflicted girls,
some of whom came from well to do farming families. The absence of any instance
of gangrenous symptomatology makes it highly unlikely that ergot played any role in
the Salem crisis (Spanos).
The theory that there was an ergot infestation does not seem to hold up to the
accounts of Spanos and Gottlieb. The theory of ergot infestation has slowly lost
credibility due to these pieces of evidence.
Another theory that attempts to explain the paranoia is the theory that witchcraft was
being practiced in the community. The word witch came into English from Wicca, an
Anglo Saxon word that means wise one (Buckland 26). Witches have been viewed
throughout history as servants of Satan, spreading misfortune. This is an exaggerated
stereotype similar to the misconception that witches fly around on broomsticks and

21. It s Alive Movie Vs Book
It s Alive!!! Mary Shelley МЃs famous monster and the moment he was given life has
been repeated numerous times in different movies and commercials, especially
around Halloween. The 1931 film is where the line It s Alive came from and over
the years it has been reused so much that no one realizes the novelnever used that
exact phrase. Some other differences on that dark and stormy night in Mary Shelley s
book, is she never had Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist, explain how his creature
was created. Her character was clear that this would lead to a destructive and terrible
path. In the 1910 movie, Frankenstein, the creature was brought to life by alchemy,
and potion. Unlike the other movies, Van Helsing (2004), Victor Frankenstein (2015)

After reading Susie the Screener, I understood that we don t need to rush when we
write our resume because there are rules that we should follow and respect. What I
kept in mind, just like Susie said in the article, is that a good resume has to be
clean, objective, orderly, and logical. I have listened to Richardson s article, and
even though he made some good points, I did not agree in everything he said. First
of all, Richardson told about many errors he found in most of the resume, and I

23. Utopian Society In Brave New World
Numerous societies may attempt to construct an ideal utopia, but very few are able
to get close to achieving such an unattainable goal. A populace must strive to
practice principles of excellent standards in order to come out on top in the face of
other civilizations. Taking that into account, Anarres society in Ursula LeGuin s The
Dispossessed is more utopian compared to the novels contrasting society of Urras
and the modern World Sate in Aldous Huxley s Brave New World because it
maximizes freedom and minimizes selfishness. Because maximizing freedom opens
gateways to self improvement and societal growth while minimizing selfishness
limits disputes and further immorality, they are essential ideals for an excellent
utopia to practice.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In Anarres, citizens believe that a child free from the guilt of ownership and the
burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs
doing and the capacity for joy in doing it (Le Guin 247). Selfishness can often
cloud one s best intentions, so the communistic approach to abolish such a trait
plays a significant role in the satisfied and helpful personalities of the Anarresti.
Because the Anarresti do not have to worry about material possessions and instead
practice the single principle of mutual aid between individuals, they can use their
time and energy towards helping others. Every one has the capacity to help
someone else, so the Anarresti do not have to worry about helping themselves, for
they know that others will be helping them. Furthermore, oppression of those who
have less than others is out of the question since property is not a concept on
Anarres. Without the discrimination and greed that sprout from the inheritance of
material possessions, the Anarresti are ready and able to live equally and
peacefully amongst one another. On the contrary, there is nothing [that the
citizens of Urras] can do that profit does not enter into, and fear of loss, and a wish
for power (346). Shevek s pleasant stay in Urras takes a turn once he realizes that
the only reason the government of A Io has been feeding [him] is because they
want to use his findings to gain advantage over the Hainish along with other
neighboring countries (232). Such selfish priorities of Urrasti officials are what
spark a proxy war between A Io and Thu in Benbili. On Urras, the need for
superiority is can be exploited to the point of war and violence between two groups.
The amount of selfishness among the officials and citizens of Urras is enough to

Natural History of Quigley Down Under. When one thinks of natural history it can be
understood how it plays a very important role in conservation. The Merriam Webster
dictionary defines natural history as the study of plants, animals, and ancient human
civilizations. Although wildlife conservation deals with mainly the plant and animal
side of this definition, this film tells of a human civilization: the Aborigines. Quigley
Down Underdemonstrates Frontier ethic and the detrimental effects it has on not only
animals but also people.
Quigley Down Under is a 1990 Western film that was directed by Simon Wincer and
produced by Stanley O Toole. The film opens with the marksman and cowboy
Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) arriving in western Australia after seeing a
newspaper advertisement looking for a proficient long distance shooter placed by
station owner Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman). Shortly after stepping off the boat in
Australia, Quigley manages to get into a fight with Marston s ranch hands because
they are trying to force Crazy Cora (Laura San Giacomo) into their wagons. After
they find out who Quigley is they proceed to take them to the Marston station. Upon
reaching the station, and after a demonstration of Quigley s long range
marksmanship, Marston invites Quigley to dinner. While dining, Quigley asks why
Marston was so eager to pay so much for him to come to Australia to kill Dingos.
Marston proceeds to tell Quigley that he was brought to Australia to kill the
25. Disadvantages Of Untouchables
term caste was first used by Portuguese travelers who came to India in the 16th
century. Caste comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word casta which means
race , breed , or lineage . Many Indians use the term jati . There are 3,000 castes and
25,000 subcastes in India, each related to a specific occupation. These different castes
fall under four basic varnas:
Brahmins priests teachers
Kshatryas warriors rulers
Vaishyas farmers, traders merchants
Shudras laborers
Caste not only dictates one s occupation, but dietary habits and interaction with
members of other castes as well. Members of a high caste enjoy more wealth and
opportunities while members of a low caste perform menial jobs. Outside of the
caste system are the Untouchables. Untouchable jobs, such as toilet cleaning and
garbage removal, require them to be in contact with bodily fluids. They are
therefore cosidered polluted and not to be touched. The importance of purity in the
body and food is found in early Sanskrit literature. Untouchables have separate
entrances to homes and must drink from seperate wells. They are considered to be in
a permanent state of impurity. Untouchables were named Harijans (Children of God)
by Gandhi. He tried to raise their status with symbolic gestures such as ... Show more

According the Rig Veda, the ancient Hindu book, the primal man Purush destroyed
himself to create a human society. The different Varnas were created from different
parts of his body. The Brahmans were created from his head; the Kshatrias from his
hands; the Vaishias from his thighs and the Sudras from his feet. The Varna
hierarchy is determined by the descending order of the different organs from which
the Varnas were created. Other religious theory claims that the Varnas were created
from the body organs of Brahma, who is the creator of the
26. Cycle Of Poverty
Children who are insecure about where their next meal will come from, where they
will sleep that night and habitually suffer from poor health conditions are often
associated with third world countries. The staggering truth is that these children
exist in America. In fact 18% of American children face one or all of these
challenges on a daily basis with little to no hope for change in their future. The cycle
of povertycontinues to plague American children and families, but with focused
changes in health care and education they will break the cycle. Evidence shows that
children who live in poverty are less likely to escape it due to the difficulties faced at
home, inefficiencies in the education system and their health environment entraps
them.
27. A Metacognitive Analysis
Metacognition is a crucial part of the critical thinking process. It is referred to as
thinking about thinking or the monitoring and control of thought (Martinez 696).
During the last decades, topic of metacognition gets more and more attention from
psychologists, educators, and students. The incoming data, supporting the
significance of metacognitive abilities and their development, serves as a base for
implementation of the teaching of metacognition. Metacognition can and should be
taught in the conditions of the modern educational system.
Metacognition plays a major role both in individual s academic and everyday life. In
the article The Power of Reflection , Stephen Fleming agrees with Flavell s definition
of metacognition as a key to educational success (2). Many studies have proved that
highly cultivated metacognitive abilities enhance individual s academic performance
and lead to academic success (Jacobson 5). Furthermore, Fleming argues that
metacognition, being applied in a wide range of the situations, turns out to be a vital
survival skill (7). Thus, given the significance of metacognition, the teaching of
metacognitive strategies should become one of the primary goals of modern
education system. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Modern studies suggest that metacognition is an independent function of the brain
and not just a skill individuals acquire during their lifetime (Fleming 4). However,
our ability to reflect and appraise our own thinking process is not an automatic
process but is a result of long term development of the cognitive system (Jacobson 4).
Therefore, metacognition needs to be cultivated in a person through different
approaches and techniques. Moreover, continuous work on the metacognitive
development in both academic and everyday life is the only way to master and gain
proficiency of metacognitive

recommend that Dynamic Duo consult with an attorney who regularly practices

would help counsel and contest or challenge proposed citations and penalties.
Furthermore, experienced OSHA lawyers understand the detailed regulations and

and carefully listen to all the allegations presented. Therefore, OSHA Area Directors
may decide to provide the photos and facts they claim support the citation during this
meeting. It is advisable to make detailed notes of all the evidence OSHA presents.
Additionally, it is vital the employer remember that despite the informal setting, he or
she is voluntarily attending a legally binding interview with government inspectors.
This is not the time to make any acknowledgements, concede on any points, or

The Comparisons of Charles Manson to Transcendental Philosophy Charles
Manson and various members of his family brutally killed several people from the
Tate and LaBianca family on two separate occasions . The purposes of these
killings are misunderstood by today s society, when ignoring Manson s philosophy.
Although Manson never killed anyone, he went to prison in 1969 for
masterminding the operation. Today s society has labeled Charles Manson as a
mass murderer who had no purpose through his cause. However, society overlooks
the goal of Manson s plan, which included creating a better society. Manson continues
to preach his cause through repeated parole attempts, behind the walls of a California
prison where he resides... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Therefore, Manson began to prepare for helter skelter by informing his family. Instead
of waiting for helter skelter, Manson wanted to prevent it by creating a utopian
society that excluded the African American race. Above and beyond individuality,
Manson felt that four important things needed preserved: air, water, trees, and
animals. Mr. Manson commonly refers to these things as AWTA, and claims that his
family gave their lives to unite the brothers and sisters of the world with these
standards. The use of euphorics by Manson and his followers, provided an enhanced
sense of individuality in an environment interacting with nature. Manson commonly
used music to get his message out to other people, and generally, he would end a
session with songs prophesizing helter skelter orchestrated by his guitar. Today, many
of Manson s songs have been released under the Guns and Roses album name. This
angers Manson and extends his argument that the rights of an individual are no longer
safe. In his 1986 Parole Hearing Statement, Manson talks about how his family
wanted to stop a war and turn the government and world to peace. He goes farther to
say that his masterplan included preserving ATWA, which would extend to enhance
the individual. Both of these ideals were important to the transcendentalists of the
19th century. The belief that the individual, not the government was key to society,
was important to the transcendental philosophy.
31. Similarities Between Kindergarten And Stalin s Funeral
This review paper focuses on the movie The Kindergarten (Detsky Sad) and Stalin s
Funeral (Pokhorony Stalina) which was both written and directed by Yevgeny
Yevtushenko, popularly known for his profession as a Russian and Soviet poet.
Kindergarten was produced in 1983 whereas Stalin s funeral was produced in 1991
as Yevtushenko s last film. Apart from simply writing and directing, Yevtushenko also
created smaller roles for himself in the two movies. Despite the fact that the two
movies have different plots, they are connected as they both deal with the life
experience in Soviet Moscow; furthermore, the character Zhenya features in both
films.
Kindergarten features as an autobiographical film which sort of depicts the
experience of a young Yevtushenko (Thomas n.p.). Despite Yevtushenko s talent in
poetry, the film is largely conventional. It bears lots of similarities with many
Russian war movies which are characterized by melancholic paeans to the afflicted
masses. Furthermore, the film portrays an imitation to surrealist movies, boy s
adventure movies, propaganda movies, crime movies as well as war movies. Being

The film s entire story takes place during the funeral of the feared former head of
state, Joseph Stalin. After the death of Stalin, his body was put on display in the
Palace of Unions for a couple of days so that the citizens would come and pay their
respects. The incident attracted thousands and the streets were flooded with people
waiting to get a chance to view the body. The place was eventually crowded and a
stampede ensued, resulting in many being trampled, some to their death; the scene
was gruesome. Thus it was this particular incident that Yevtushenko centered the
movie on together with some twist from carious points of view from different
characters to thicken the

Ground temperatures in parts of the North are warming by one 10th of a degree
after every ten years. Where ground ice contents are comparatively high, melting
permafrost can have significant impacts, some of which may take not be as
willingly obvious as others. On ice, you do not need a very sloped surface before
you start to slip or slide and hence, that is what happens with the permafrost and
overlying land, resulting in landslides in the North. Also, melting permafrost leads
to subsidence, which occurs usually when permafrost thaws/melts and the soil
formerly held up by the ice caves in. An example of this would be about Iqaluit s
Arctic Winter Games arena, where the floor began to sink soon after the building
opened in October 2001. It is predicted that permafrost area may decrease by
approximately thirty seven to eighty one percent by the end of the century! As
temperatures keep getting warmer, permafrost will continue to thaw. Moreover,
changes in permafrost have unpleasant results for infrastructure designed for
permafrost conditions. Eventually, pipelines, airstrips and roads need to be changed
because they depend on permafrost for structural integrity. The estimated costs to
upgrade and fix buildings or infra structure in Canada s North could range from
$250 million to $420 million. All these current/predicted changes due to melting
permafrost has resulted in a huge or major burden on the government resources.100
and 1000 of people in North Canada live on permafrost. Once the frozen water turns
into water, it makes it quite difficult for the people in the towns to find drinking
water. To conclude, melting permafrost in North Canada has resulted in landslides,
subsidence, damage to infra structure and people are facing trouble in accessing

They also need to think a way to reduce energy consumption and use less toxicity that

35. Negative Analysis Of Television Commercials
People can relate to their favorite television shows, but can they also connect with the
commercials that inevitably interrupt their programs? Nowadays, most people would
answer no by skipping these advertisements through digital video recorders or on
demand and streaming services. However, commercials continue to generate an
abundance of revenue for advertising agencies. The most popular televisionads target
specific audiences, and cable is the most appropriate platform. Advertising agencies
strategically place commercials on cable networks that target groups that many
viewers may consider underrepresented on television. Prominent examples include
commercials on Nickelodeon that target children, ads on TV One that attract African
Americans, and plugs on COZI TV that draw older adult viewers. Cable televisionis
an ideal platform for personalized advertisements that target specific groups of
viewers. Every cable network has almost always been personalized; for instance,
certain channels target sports fanatics (i.e. ESPN, Golf Channel, NBC Sports
Network, etc.), while others attract music lovers (i.e. MTV, VH1, etc.). Broadcast
networks live up to their name in that their audiences are extremely wide and consist
of all kinds of races, genders, and socioeconomic statuses. Northern Arizona

Third generation V8 Four speed Ranchero
When speaking about the third generation falcon based ranchero, you couldn t get
a factory installed V8 until 1963. This would be the only model year with an
engine displacement of 260 CID as they increased engine displacement to 289 CID
for the 1964 model year. As for the build out, in 1963 Ford produced almost 19,000
Ranchero s. However, only 1,600 of these automobiles had V8 engines.
Drilling down a little further, less than 200 would sport the combination of the V 8
engine with a four speed manual transmission. Although classic car fans don t
often look upon the Ford Falcon as a highly collectible or desirable automobile, the
1963, Ranchero with a V8 four speed is in my mind, the definition of a collector
car. If you re interested in learning more about the full size Ranchero, I posted an

37. Analysis Of The Loons By Margaret Laurence
The Loons: A Girls Cry for Belonging
Although some readers might think Margaret Laurence s short story The Loons is
about the naivety of a young girl named Vanessa who spent her days fantasizing
about native american culture, it is in fact about the adversity an individual faces
when presented with a lack of belonging. Laurence employs this idea through the loss
and mourning of her two main characters. Through Vanessa McLeod and Piquette
Tonnerres she shows how one individual s perpetual need of belonging influences the
others ulterior reality. She does this to showcase the disastrous effects of a dominant
society on the prior inhabitants of the land and how it relates to a feeling loss and
mourning.
Although Laurence does not say so directly, she tries to get the reader to notice that
the loons and Piquette are foils of each other. I agree with what she is saying in that
she utilizes Piquette to represent the cause and effect that actions have on lesser
represented groups.The loons lived a simple existence at Diamond Lake up until the
day where the government made Galloping Mountain into a national park. They re
named the lake to Wapakata as they felt it would have greater appeal to tourists. As a
result, this caused the once majestic and abundant loon population to disappear from
the lake. Their Plaintive song to never be sung on those waters again.
Laurence adds this violation and disappearance of the loons to illuminate, for the
narrator Vanessa, Piquettes refusal to accompany her to the lake in her childhood.
Piquette all to well knows the loons song as she is a loon herself. She knows what
it is like to be constantly searching for some place of belonging. Eventually you re
unable to find such a place, and you cease to care if you live or not (Laurence 278).
She is the only one to hear and relate to the crying of the loons. Throughout Piquettes
life she mourns for her lack of belonging.
At an early age Vanessa s naivety of Piquettes ethnicity prohibits her from seeing
Piquettes struggle with her sense of lacking belonging. This causes the two characters
to clash throughout the story in regards to Vanessa s false interpretation of Piquettes
identity. Throughout the story Vanessa tends to

Besides the past as a claim for complex art impling cultural prominence in societies,
the present is a great representation of a society s cultural qualities. The United
States population s ability to express themselves has grown the most in recent
decades. Specifically in art, one can express themselves however they want, no:
restrictions, limitations, or necessary guidelines. This capability to express one s
self is comparable to our cultures recent stressed activism for the freedom to act
without criticism. Artist s role now, is to be as personal, unique, and creative as
possible. Our society is going through a change of cultural acceptance for those who
feel oppressed. Art is currently about being creative and expressing emotions or
ideas through a surface plane medium. However, it always was not this way. Artists
and their art world, from century to century, responds to their societies attributes.
Because of this, past cultures prominence can be interpreted and represented through
their art. Recalling the oldest known art periods, first, the Prehistoric Art era, we can
see societies from b.c. through 2500 b.c., that their cultures were advanced. From
personal representations of nature and deities, these people s small ability to create
different types of art shows how they were more skilled craftsman, instead of artists.
Cave Paintings and other art forms represent their hunting and living styles. For
example, the Women from Willendorf, can show how they expressed themselves
through art but, art was not considered to be a profession in the Prehistoric Art era

41. Seatbelts Essay
Coming out of 2016, many citizens in the United States and around the world are
tired of hearing about politics, but when we need consider a situation where a
group of people are not thinking, it is evident politics is the best example to
demonstrate. The purpose of our political system is to introduce new laws into our
society, and to amend current ones to better fit our current system. Politicians,
therefore, have an extremely important job in creating and maintaining these laws.
We as a society need to be careful when we give up our freedoms with certain laws
in order to maintain the social contract. In a society where we give up certain
freedoms, we are expecting the government to use laws to protect us from other
people. The definition... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Every citizen is tasked with the responsibility of thinking about the society they live
in. It seems strange that people wouldn t bring up a bigger debate about the
requirement of seatbelts, but any multi daily task should be commonly thought about,
specially if the fine is $161! Additionally to this argument, the ever increasing
functionalities of autonomous driving seem like they could do away with common
human driving mistakes that may replace the need for a seatbelt so our questions
regarding these laws should be answered
42. Deviant Youths Essay
Deviant youths are sent to boot camps or detention centers for committing crimes
in their society. Together, they are our youth correction facilities but they are not
as safe as one may speculate; they are flawed for reasons that like how they
produce faulty results, the abusive treatment from staff and the poor living
conditions. One example of a fault for many of these facilities is the unfair
treatment from the staff. A report has shown that 1 in 10 kids in Juvenile Facilities
have reported sexual abuse from staff. Homosexual youths are even more at risk; 1
in 5 has reported such abuse as well (Human Rights Watch.) These adults are not
promoting the safety and security these institutions are supposed to live by and for
many it may... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For example, in boot camps kids who enter there with bad habits are more likely to
leave with them, learning nothing (Boarding Schools Troubled Teens.) In jail,
studies found that 50 70% of offenders were rearrested within one to two years
after they are released (Mahidol University.) These camps and facilities only work
with longer sentences; short term sentencing doesn t benefit them in the long run
because improvements don t develop right away to work. Finally, certain youth
correctional facilities have poor living conditions that are unstable to live. For
example, in boot camps, the focus is mainly on physical activity and discipline
military style (Teen Boot Camps.) These methods prove to be physically
demanding and for many it may be too much to handle. Youths are stipped from
their freedoms and are locked away in cells that can be dirty and cramped. They
have to live everyday with no privacy, constant threats and curses from other youths
as well as feelings of anger and fear that often resurfaces. As a result, this isolation
has a notable effect on behaviour. Disruptive disorders may arise with high
possibilities of substance abuse and suicides (The National Center for Mental Health
and Juvenile Justice). The lack of healthcare is also a problem. In one facility, over
44% were diagnosed with a substance use disorder. Only 50% were getting the
treatment. In another,
43. The Gap in Social Classes in Detroit
With Detroit being the most segregated city in the country, the center with the richest
business industries mixed along with the largest minority middle class anywhere,
much controversy is occurring and it is causing many issues to the surrounding
metropolitan area. Due to such a large gap in social classes, status frustration has led
to a spike in racial tensions causing more crime. Because of this Detroithas become a
main focus of many local news reports. Many Detroit residents are becoming upset
with the fact that only negative reports have made the front covers of newspapers
giving Detroit a false image. This has been proven true with many television
shows, movies, and video game images. The previously aired show Detroit 1 8 7,
an American crime drama about Detroit s leading homicide unit, was taken off air
because it gave a negative outlook on the Detroit area. The show s producer, David
Zabel stated that even though it was show about crime, there still was an
opportunity to give the city positive light because of the heroic people that do fight
for the city s justice. After reading many commentaries on this show, the conclusion
that the people of Detroit say the people of the city are not as mean and violent as
the shows producers make them seem. In 1974, Detroit was given the nickname of
Murder City after more than 700 homicides were committed. Since this is such a
sensitive subject for Detroit citizens, one of the biggest issues with
45. Joint Planning Process In Operation Anaconda
I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great
things. Mother Theresa
Whether she knew it or not, Mother Theresa was talking about the Joint Planning
Process. She best describes this process as teamwork. The use of teamwork, or the
Joint Planning Process, by leaders of the Armed Forces during Operation Anaconda
allowed for planning considerations critical to the success of the operation. This
paper will explain the seven steps of the Joint Planning Process, and how these steps
or the lack of these steps will dictate mission success or failure as seen in Operation
Anaconda.
Joint Planning Process
Joint Planning Process is a seven step, analytical process providing an orderly
approach to planning at any organizational level and at a point before and during
joint operations. The focus of JOPP is on the interaction between a military
commander, staff, and commanders and staffs of the next higher and lower
commands. The ultimate goal of JOPP is the completion of an operational plan or
order, the process is ongoing as a unit must continually plan and produce operational
plans, orders and fragmentary orders for future operations and to make adjustments to
current operations.
Planning Initiation
Joint operation planning begins when an appropriate authority recognizes potential
for military capability to be employed in response to a potential or actual crisis. At the
strategic level, that authority the president, SecDef, or
46. Tobacco And Tobacco
Tobacco became very popular in Europe when brought by Christopher Columbus. On
October 15, 1492, Christopher Columbus was offered dried tobacco leaves as a gift
from the American Indians that he encountered. Soon after, sailors brought tobacco
back to Europe, and the plant was being grown all over Europe (University of
Dayton). It was popular throughout the ages till scientific studies found out that
tobaccoproducts are very harmful to the human body. The chemicals in the tobacco
products harm the human body functions. Therefore, using tobacco products will
gradually affect on its users health, such as their lungs, immune system, stomach,
mouth, skin and heat, because tobacco products contain almost 4,000 chemicals in
them, such as nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, and carcinogenic compounds.
When people met tobacco at first, they liked it and used it. It didn t have any
dangerous chemicals at that time because tobacco products were not mixed with the
dangerous chemicals. Therefore, people used it just as nicotine that was less harmless
than the nowadays tobacco products. For example, there are approximately 600
ingredients in cigarettes. When burned, they create more than 7,000 chemicals. At
least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are poisonous
(Lung.org). The chemicals as below:
Acetone found in nail polish remover
Acetic Acid an ingredient in hair dye
Ammonia a common household cleaner
Arsenic used in rat poison
Benzene found
47. The Transformation Of Prince Hal In Shakespeare s Henry
IV
In Shakespeare s play Henry IV, the character Hal, the prince of Wales, endures a
transformation that can be characterized as redemption. Hal is introduced by
Shakespeare in the opening act as a traitor of the court. Hal s shortage of leadership
over the commonwealth has raised many eyebrows especially those of his father, the
king. Since Hal is heir to the throne, the King registers the fact that in order to keep
peace, a ruler and his heir must possess the ability to be accountable and admirable,
neither of which Hal bestows. King Henry IV communicates to his confidant that he
would rather have Hotspur, the son of the Earl of Northumberland, next in line to the
throne. By doing this, Shakespeare has positioned Hal and Hotspur to loathe one...

This means an end to his defiant behavior and a start to achieving his princely
responsibilities. Prince Hal is stuck between two influential men who portray
contradicting beliefs. The individual most significant in the prince s childhood is
Falstaff a greedy, self absorbed man who refuses to accept authority and has an
immature manner, giving contrasting ideals to the Prince s youth. In conflict to the
affable Falstaff enters Henry IV, the biological father of the Prince who is mature
with leadership and political sovereignty providing a model for the Prince in his
development. After deciding to reclaim himself, Hal talks to his father about his
plan to conquer Hotspur in battle and obtain righteousness. It is evident that Hal
believes he can free himself of his humiliation by gaining recognition after
conquering Hotspur. While he does not want to simply gain honor, Hal wants to
exchange his disgrace for Hotspur s honor. Hal wants to free himself in the name of
his father and wants his father to be pleased of his upbringing. Hal desires nothing
more than to become an honorable person. However, Hal s strategy to gain honor is
by stealing Hotspur s
