Your initial post is due by midnight (11:59 PM) on Thursday. You must write at least 400 words on Olive Senior's "The Pain Tree" and Ana Menéndez's "Her Mother's House" (in other words, at least 200 words for each story). Instead of relying on plot summary you will support your interpretation by using and analyzing textual evidence. When you quote the story make sure you cite the page number: for instance, after the quotation put the page number in parenthesis (60). Avoid writing out "on page 60". When you quote a passage from the story make sure you introduce the context and that you are analyzing the meaning of what you quoted. I encourage your own formulations, but address the following prompts (you can address them in any order and be sure to write at least three or more paragraphs): In the short stories, you are going to encounter protagonists attempting to reconnect and remember (as in "putting together again") their Caribbean "home" spaces. How have their perceptions of their Caribbean homelands been shaped by their parents? What new perceptions do they gain and how does this transform their view of themselves and their history? Victor Shklovsky argues that ostranenie ("making strange" in Russian, and also translated as estrangement/defamiliarization) is the essence of literature. Where in the two stories do we encounter descriptions of estranged perception? Analyze the significance of these moments in the stories. Be sure to consult and cite Shkovsky's essay (especially his definition of ostranenie on page 80) to support your analysis. For our annotation assignment, we learned how to notice patterns and overlooked meanings that helped us understand "Sonny's Blues" more fully. In "The Pain Tree" and "Her Mother's House" what patterns, connections or implied meanings did you notice structuring the stories? .

Gothic Imagery in Hawthorne’s Rappaccini’s Daughter
The word “gothic” gives a connotation of gloom, despair, and the decay of time. The grotesque and horrifying are used in Gothic literature for atmosphere, foreshadowing, and symbolism. Nathaniel Hawthorne is an early American example of a writer of Gothic tales. In “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” Hawthorne uses Gothic conventions to tell a story of dual natures and doomed love.
In the opening scene, Giovanni, a university student and the hero of our tale, is shown to his new lodgings in Padua. Here Hawthorne utilizes two Gothic conventions to create a grim sense of foreshadowing: the ancient, ruined building, and the mysterious old woman. Giovanni’s lodgings are in a “high and gloomy chamber of an old edifice which looked not unworthy to have been the palace of a Paduan noble” (Hawthorne 178). He is reminded of Dante’s Inferno, and imagines that a member of this ancient household “[partook] of the immortal agonies” described in the poem (178). This foreshadows the “agonies” of Giovanni’s love for Beatrice, the heroine. Giovanni is with his new landlady, a strange and vaguely superstitious woman named “dame” Lisabetta. She makes frequent reference to the Virgin and the Saints, and directs Giovanni to the view of Dr. Rappaccini’s herb garden. She tells Giovanni that he may see Rappaccini and his daughter at work in the garden, cultivating plants that “are as potent as a charm” (179). Later in the story, Lisabetta is the means by which Giovanni and Rappaccini’s daughter Beatrice meet clandestinely in the deadly garden (187).
The garden itself is the scene of the majority of Hawthorne’s Gothic symbolism and foreshadowing. It is dominated by “the ruin of a marble fountain in the centre, sculptured with rare art, but so woefully shattered that it was impossible to trace the original design from the chaos of the remaining fragments” (179). The fountain is beautiful, “rare,” and destroyed. It is a symbol for the dual nature of the garden itself, with its beautiful, deadly flowers; for Beatrice Rappaccini, who is beautiful, but literally poisonous; and the love/obsession Giovanni has for Beatrice, which is beautiful, but kills.
In the end, the Gothic tone of Hawthorne’s “Rappaccini’s Daughter” portrays the dual nature of love and obsession in the story. Hawthorne brilliantly displays symbolism and foreshadowing as techniques by which an author can show the deeper meaning of surface imagery.

The complexity of the simple. The use of language in Jane Austen’s novels
: In recent years, a large number of books and articles on Jane Austen have been published, in
which various aspects of her works and the stories told in them are analyzed. Many of these studies focus on
extraliterary aspects, or delve into only some elements of the plots of this author‘s novels, the issues that are
treated, or their social impact. These studies can be of great interest and add a relevant perspective to
understanding the novels of Austen. However, to have a global vision of the work of this author, it is necessary
to analyze the most literary aspects of Austen‘s writings in detail. In this article, we will study how Jane Austen
used language, some of the most frequent resources, and the strategies she employed to provoke different effects
on readers through the choice of certain words and syntactic structures.

The Changeling” by Judith Ortiz Cofer
Judith Ortiz Cofer was born in Puerto Rico in 1952. As a child, she only spoke Spanish. She moved to the United States as a child and has spent much time in Georgia. She is a poet, novelist and essayist. Her primary focus is Hispanic American culture. She is best known for her creative non-fiction.
The Changeling
As a young girl
vying for my father's attention,
I invented a game that made him look up
from his reading and shake his head
as if both baffled and amused.
In my brother's closet, I'd change
into his dungarees -- the rough material
molding me into boy shape; hide
my long hair under an army helmet
he'd been given by Father, and emerge
transformed into the legendary Ché
of grown-up talk.
Strutting around the room,
I'd tell of life in the mountains,
of carnage and rivers of blood,
and of manly feasts with rum and music
to celebrate victories

He would listen with a smile
to my tales of battles and brotherhood
until Mother called us to dinner.
She was not amused
by my transformations, sternly forbidding me
from sitting down with them as a man.
She'd order me back to the dark cubicle
that smelled of adventure, to shed
my costume, to braid my hair furiously
with blind hands, and to return invisible,

English 2: Literary Analysis Essay on “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan
Background: Amy Tan’s story, “Two Kinds,” demonstrates the importance of the past on shaping characters’ present identity, thus reinforcing the notion that personal history shapes an individual’s cultural identity and attitudes about the world in the present. For some, the past is a stumbling block, but for others it is something to embrace and hold onto. This common theme plays out in many different works of literature. The past turns out to be an ironic force that moves forward in the present. One author explains, “Moreover, for most Asian American writers, the Old country and its culture are neither ancient nor buried history but very much alive and integral to the present, either in their own lives or in those of their parents and grandparents” (Huntley, Amy Tan a Critical Companion, 20). Keep in mind that the past is a timeless lesson taught in the present and this is something that is woven into the fabric of Tan’s story.
Purpose of a Literary Analysis: The purpose of your literary analysis paper is to analyze the story by showing and explaining your own conclusions (interpretations) about how the different literary elements (tools) work together to present Tan’s major theme in the short story. A Literary analysis is not summarizing the story—or plot summary. Your paper should explain— that is, show your own thinking on how different literary devices that you believe are relevant for proving your thesis statement, supports your thesis statement, which is the answer to the one central question your essay will answer. Your paper should be focused on supporting and proving your thesis statement with a clear method of organization: chronologically or order of importance. The point being is that this paper must have a clear purpose (thesis statement) and a method of organization that frames your analysis.
Assignment: Write a two-to-three page paper that addresses one central question about the work. The question will be the same for all papers; however, the thesis statement will be your answer to the question, which is basically your own conclusion or interpretation about how the story comes to express the central theme. Body paragraphs will prove the truth of your thesis statement with evidence and your interpretation—not plot summary. The quotes must be relevant to proving the topic sentence and your thesis statement. Limit the number of quotes to two per paragraph—avoid one word quotes. Always use a signal phrase with the name of the speaker, cite it, explain and interpret, and end the paragraph with a linking sentence. Do not simply dump a bunch of short quotations in a paragraph.
Question: In Amy Tan’s story, “Two Kinds,” how and why does Tan reinforce that personal history—heritage, is important for shaping individual identity in the present?
Thesis Statement: In answering this question, you are drafting a thesis statement that includes your concl ...
Writing Assignments Poetry1) Write a poem of at least 10 .docx
Writing Assignments: Poetry
1) Write a poem of at least 10 lines using at least five items from your
“character list.”
2) Write a poem in a voice not your own. You might choose to write in the
voice of some historical figure, in the voice of someone you know, or in
the voice of a made-up character (perhaps someone from your story).
3) Write a poem in a traditional form (sonnet, villanelle, sestina), or with a
set syllabic count, or make up a form of your own.
4) Write a poem with a controlling metaphor (the likeness or connection
between two things—ie., life and baseball—should be carried through-
out the poem) or with at least three metaphors from the same context.
5) Write a poem in imitation of another published poem. If you choose a
poem that’s not in our textbook, please make copies for the rest of the
class and hand the copies in along with your imitation poem. When
preparing the “imitation poem,” try to decide what is essential to the
“original poem.” Is it rhyme scheme, meter, imagery, subject, language,
tone? Several of the above, or something else? Write a poem of your
own that includes those essential elements (it should be similar in form
and length to the original, but it doesn’t have to be exactly the same).
Turn in the poem as usual; by your name, put “Imitation of ‘(Title of
Poem)’ by (Author).”
6) Write about a domestic task, such as knitting, doing dishes, installing an
air-conditioner, or watering plants, OR about a ceremony, such as bap-
tism, transferring a car title, or being graduated. At last once in the
poem, contradict received wisdom. Dare to contradict your own beliefs,
if you wish. Ten line minimum. (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
7) Write about a game you played as a child—preferably a folk game, such
as
kick-the-can, capture-the-flag, scissors-paper-stone, hopscotch, or jump
rope, and not a commercial game like Monopoly or Space Invaers. Use
at least two figures of speech, but make sure they’re not clichés. This
poem must be in blank verse or in a fixed form (sonnet, ballad stanzas,
heroic couplets, terza rima, etc.) (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
Creating a 14-er
Compose a poem in which the lines end with the words below in the order
given. Find possible connections between the words, so that your poem gives a
sensible or logical account of something specific. We haven’t discussed rhythm
(syllable count) or accents (meter) yet, so use any rhythm you want to; but if
you make your lines 10 syllables each, you will have written a Shakespearean
sonnet.
Give your poem a title:
_____________________________________________quiet
_____________________________________________kiss
_____________________________________________riot
_____________________________________________abyss
_____________________________________________trees
_____________________________________________June
_____________________________________________peas
_____________________________________________prune
_____________________________________________cryst.

Scott Lefor,
The release of information to the public – including through social media – can impact everything from a company’s image before the public to an individual’s image before a company. Jackson et al. (2020) note that while “strategic HR use of social media can build the employer’s reputation in the labor market and help HR professionals to reach candidates and current employees,” the use of social media can also “lead to the disclosure of trade secrets” or present a negative image of the company (p. 21). While companies place substantial hours and dollars into cultivating a favorable brand image before the public, a careless comment or complaint by an employee or contractor on social media can go viral and counteract such marketing efforts. In such cases, companies may find themselves forced to address such comments or complaints before the public in an attempt to save the brand image they have worked so hard to build.
In addition to impacting the image of a company, careless social media posts can also impact potential and current employees before the company. According to Melton and Miller (2015), while “most students appear to know that the content they post” on social media could be viewed negatively by “potential employers,” many students continue to do so (p. 678). Through social media, what would have been a careless comment if spoken aloud becomes a permanent statement viewable by countless individuals. Furthermore, comments and images referencing illegal activities or poor decision-making and communicating abilities become enshrined for potential and current employers to reference and base hiring and firing decisions upon.
It is worth noting that careless comments via social media can go beyond “negative,” and can sometimes involve trade secrets (as noted). While negative comments can cast a shadow over a company’s brand, comments revealing trade secrets can jeopardize long-term strategies, losing hard-won competitive edges. As referenced above, Melton and Miller (2015) assert that even though individuals know of such risks, many continue to post comments that can be understood to be “careless.”
In short, informa.

Gothic Imagery in Hawthorne’s Rappaccini’s Daughter
The word “gothic” gives a connotation of gloom, despair, and the decay of time. The grotesque and horrifying are used in Gothic literature for atmosphere, foreshadowing, and symbolism. Nathaniel Hawthorne is an early American example of a writer of Gothic tales. In “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” Hawthorne uses Gothic conventions to tell a story of dual natures and doomed love.
In the opening scene, Giovanni, a university student and the hero of our tale, is shown to his new lodgings in Padua. Here Hawthorne utilizes two Gothic conventions to create a grim sense of foreshadowing: the ancient, ruined building, and the mysterious old woman. Giovanni’s lodgings are in a “high and gloomy chamber of an old edifice which looked not unworthy to have been the palace of a Paduan noble” (Hawthorne 178). He is reminded of Dante’s Inferno, and imagines that a member of this ancient household “[partook] of the immortal agonies” described in the poem (178). This foreshadows the “agonies” of Giovanni’s love for Beatrice, the heroine. Giovanni is with his new landlady, a strange and vaguely superstitious woman named “dame” Lisabetta. She makes frequent reference to the Virgin and the Saints, and directs Giovanni to the view of Dr. Rappaccini’s herb garden. She tells Giovanni that he may see Rappaccini and his daughter at work in the garden, cultivating plants that “are as potent as a charm” (179). Later in the story, Lisabetta is the means by which Giovanni and Rappaccini’s daughter Beatrice meet clandestinely in the deadly garden (187).
The garden itself is the scene of the majority of Hawthorne’s Gothic symbolism and foreshadowing. It is dominated by “the ruin of a marble fountain in the centre, sculptured with rare art, but so woefully shattered that it was impossible to trace the original design from the chaos of the remaining fragments” (179). The fountain is beautiful, “rare,” and destroyed. It is a symbol for the dual nature of the garden itself, with its beautiful, deadly flowers; for Beatrice Rappaccini, who is beautiful, but literally poisonous; and the love/obsession Giovanni has for Beatrice, which is beautiful, but kills.
In the end, the Gothic tone of Hawthorne’s “Rappaccini’s Daughter” portrays the dual nature of love and obsession in the story. Hawthorne brilliantly displays symbolism and foreshadowing as techniques by which an author can show the deeper meaning of surface imagery.

The complexity of the simple. The use of language in Jane Austen’s novels
: In recent years, a large number of books and articles on Jane Austen have been published, in
which various aspects of her works and the stories told in them are analyzed. Many of these studies focus on
extraliterary aspects, or delve into only some elements of the plots of this author‘s novels, the issues that are
treated, or their social impact. These studies can be of great interest and add a relevant perspective to
understanding the novels of Austen. However, to have a global vision of the work of this author, it is necessary
to analyze the most literary aspects of Austen‘s writings in detail. In this article, we will study how Jane Austen
used language, some of the most frequent resources, and the strategies she employed to provoke different effects
on readers through the choice of certain words and syntactic structures.

Choose a poem in Chapter 12 or in the Exploring Gender album.
Prompt:
Write an essay in which you show how and why the speaker experiences a conflict between particular ways of looking or being. Also look at how the speaker's attitude toward, or thoughts about, something or how our vision of the speaker's character changes over the course of a poem. Be sure to clearly identify the speaker's conflict and what changed during the poem.
Your postings will be reviewed according to the following criteria:
Writing well-developed paragraphs relevant to the prompt(s) (minimum 300 words).
Be sure that your thesis is explicit and supported with one to two quotations from the literature.
Do not write in first or second person.
Replying to two of your classmates with meaningful responses with a minimum of 30 words (do not simply write "I agree. I like what you've written.")
Following the rules of Standard English. Please proofread your writing before clicking the ‘submit’ button!
When you include a quotation from the literature in your mini-essay, please place an in-text citation (also called a parenthetical citation) immediately after you close the quotation marks and before you place a period at the end of your sentence. That way, anyone in the class (including me!) can easily find the quotation in the literature if necessary. If you're not sure what to place inside the parentheses, there is instruction in the textbook in
Chapter 34- Quotation, Citation, and Documentation.
When you include in-text citations, there must be a Works Cited listing at the bottom of your post.
Be sure to follow the "Quote Sandwich" when you insert quotations.
The Changeling” by Judith Ortiz Cofer
Judith Ortiz Cofer was born in Puerto Rico in 1952. As a child, she only spoke Spanish. She moved to the United States as a child and has spent much time in Georgia. She is a poet, novelist and essayist. Her primary focus is Hispanic American culture. She is best known for her creative non-fiction.
The Changeling
As a young girl
vying for my father's attention,
I invented a game that made him look up
from his reading and shake his head
as if both baffled and amused.
In my brother's closet, I'd change
into his dungarees -- the rough material
molding me into boy shape; hide
my long hair under an army helmet
he'd been given by Father, and emerge
transformed into the legendary Ché
of grown-up talk.
Strutting around the room,
I'd tell of life in the mountains,
of carnage and rivers of blood,
and of manly feasts with rum and music
to celebrate victories
para la libertad.
He would listen with a smile
to my tales of battles and brotherhood
until Mother called us to dinner.
She was not amused
by my transformations, sternly forbidding me
from sitting down with them as a man.
She'd order me back to the dark cubicle
that smelled of adventure, to shed
my costume, to braid my hair furiously
with blind hands, and to return invisible,

English 2: Literary Analysis Essay on “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan
Background: Amy Tan’s story, “Two Kinds,” demonstrates the importance of the past on shaping characters’ present identity, thus reinforcing the notion that personal history shapes an individual’s cultural identity and attitudes about the world in the present. For some, the past is a stumbling block, but for others it is something to embrace and hold onto. This common theme plays out in many different works of literature. The past turns out to be an ironic force that moves forward in the present. One author explains, “Moreover, for most Asian American writers, the Old country and its culture are neither ancient nor buried history but very much alive and integral to the present, either in their own lives or in those of their parents and grandparents” (Huntley, Amy Tan a Critical Companion, 20). Keep in mind that the past is a timeless lesson taught in the present and this is something that is woven into the fabric of Tan’s story.
Purpose of a Literary Analysis: The purpose of your literary analysis paper is to analyze the story by showing and explaining your own conclusions (interpretations) about how the different literary elements (tools) work together to present Tan’s major theme in the short story. A Literary analysis is not summarizing the story—or plot summary. Your paper should explain— that is, show your own thinking on how different literary devices that you believe are relevant for proving your thesis statement, supports your thesis statement, which is the answer to the one central question your essay will answer. Your paper should be focused on supporting and proving your thesis statement with a clear method of organization: chronologically or order of importance. The point being is that this paper must have a clear purpose (thesis statement) and a method of organization that frames your analysis.
Assignment: Write a two-to-three page paper that addresses one central question about the work. The question will be the same for all papers; however, the thesis statement will be your answer to the question, which is basically your own conclusion or interpretation about how the story comes to express the central theme. Body paragraphs will prove the truth of your thesis statement with evidence and your interpretation—not plot summary. The quotes must be relevant to proving the topic sentence and your thesis statement. Limit the number of quotes to two per paragraph—avoid one word quotes. Always use a signal phrase with the name of the speaker, cite it, explain and interpret, and end the paragraph with a linking sentence. Do not simply dump a bunch of short quotations in a paragraph.
Question: In Amy Tan’s story, “Two Kinds,” how and why does Tan reinforce that personal history—heritage, is important for shaping individual identity in the present?
Thesis Statement: In answering this question, you are drafting a thesis statement that includes your concl ...
Writing Assignments Poetry1) Write a poem of at least 10 .docx
Writing Assignments: Poetry
1) Write a poem of at least 10 lines using at least five items from your
“character list.”
2) Write a poem in a voice not your own. You might choose to write in the
voice of some historical figure, in the voice of someone you know, or in
the voice of a made-up character (perhaps someone from your story).
3) Write a poem in a traditional form (sonnet, villanelle, sestina), or with a
set syllabic count, or make up a form of your own.
4) Write a poem with a controlling metaphor (the likeness or connection
between two things—ie., life and baseball—should be carried through-
out the poem) or with at least three metaphors from the same context.
5) Write a poem in imitation of another published poem. If you choose a
poem that’s not in our textbook, please make copies for the rest of the
class and hand the copies in along with your imitation poem. When
preparing the “imitation poem,” try to decide what is essential to the
“original poem.” Is it rhyme scheme, meter, imagery, subject, language,
tone? Several of the above, or something else? Write a poem of your
own that includes those essential elements (it should be similar in form
and length to the original, but it doesn’t have to be exactly the same).
Turn in the poem as usual; by your name, put “Imitation of ‘(Title of
Poem)’ by (Author).”
6) Write about a domestic task, such as knitting, doing dishes, installing an
air-conditioner, or watering plants, OR about a ceremony, such as bap-
tism, transferring a car title, or being graduated. At last once in the
poem, contradict received wisdom. Dare to contradict your own beliefs,
if you wish. Ten line minimum. (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
7) Write about a game you played as a child—preferably a folk game, such
as
kick-the-can, capture-the-flag, scissors-paper-stone, hopscotch, or jump
rope, and not a commercial game like Monopoly or Space Invaers. Use
at least two figures of speech, but make sure they’re not clichés. This
poem must be in blank verse or in a fixed form (sonnet, ballad stanzas,
heroic couplets, terza rima, etc.) (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
Creating a 14-er
Compose a poem in which the lines end with the words below in the order
given. Find possible connections between the words, so that your poem gives a
sensible or logical account of something specific. We haven’t discussed rhythm
(syllable count) or accents (meter) yet, so use any rhythm you want to; but if
you make your lines 10 syllables each, you will have written a Shakespearean
sonnet.
Give your poem a title:
_____________________________________________quiet
_____________________________________________kiss
_____________________________________________riot
_____________________________________________abyss
_____________________________________________trees
_____________________________________________June
_____________________________________________peas
_____________________________________________prune
_____________________________________________cryst.

Scott Lefor,
The release of information to the public – including through social media – can impact everything from a company’s image before the public to an individual’s image before a company. Jackson et al. (2020) note that while “strategic HR use of social media can build the employer’s reputation in the labor market and help HR professionals to reach candidates and current employees,” the use of social media can also “lead to the disclosure of trade secrets” or present a negative image of the company (p. 21). While companies place substantial hours and dollars into cultivating a favorable brand image before the public, a careless comment or complaint by an employee or contractor on social media can go viral and counteract such marketing efforts. In such cases, companies may find themselves forced to address such comments or complaints before the public in an attempt to save the brand image they have worked so hard to build.
In addition to impacting the image of a company, careless social media posts can also impact potential and current employees before the company. According to Melton and Miller (2015), while “most students appear to know that the content they post” on social media could be viewed negatively by “potential employers,” many students continue to do so (p. 678). Through social media, what would have been a careless comment if spoken aloud becomes a permanent statement viewable by countless individuals. Furthermore, comments and images referencing illegal activities or poor decision-making and communicating abilities become enshrined for potential and current employers to reference and base hiring and firing decisions upon.
It is worth noting that careless comments via social media can go beyond “negative,” and can sometimes involve trade secrets (as noted). While negative comments can cast a shadow over a company’s brand, comments revealing trade secrets can jeopardize long-term strategies, losing hard-won competitive edges. As referenced above, Melton and Miller (2015) assert that even though individuals know of such risks, many continue to post comments that can be understood to be “careless.”
In short, informa.

Your HR project to develop a centralized model of deliveri.docx
Your HR project to develop a centralized model of delivering HR services has progressed through very critical stages of the project thus far. It is now time to present actionable, decision-making information to project leaders. This can be best accomplished when projects have been successfully managed, devoid of any major risks, and have been properly closed out and finalized.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
1. Explain what it means to successfully direct and manage project work and identify and discuss 3-4 strategies you might use to manage and sustain progress in your HR project. Be specific.
2. Identify and discuss a minimum of 3 strategies that could be used to address and resolve any risks within the control of the project. HINT: See Exhibit 14.5 in the textbook. Is any one of the strategies you selected more important than the others? Why?
Exhibit 14.5
RISK EVENT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES RISKS WITHIN PROJECT CONTROL
Understand and control WBS
Closely monitor and control activity progress
Closely manage all project changes
Document all change requests
Increase overtime to stay on schedule
Isolate problems and reschedule other activities
Research challenging issues early
RISKS PARTIALLY WITHIN PROJECT CONTROL
Establish limits to customer expectations
Build relationships by understanding project from client’s perspective
Use honesty in managing client expectations
Work with client to reprioritize cost, schedule, scope, and/or quality
Carefully escalate problems
Build team commitment and enthusiasm
RISKS OUTSIDE PROJECT CONTROL
Understand project context and environment
Actively monitor project environment
Understand willingness or reluctance of stakeholders to agree to changes
3. Describe 2-3 actions a project manager may take as they begin to close out the project. Be sure to justify using the actions you discuss.
4. Review Project Management in Action: The Power of Lessons Learned (pages 518-520 in the textbook) and provide an overview to the project team on the significance of the information. Be specific.
Pg 518-520 from book
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ACTION The Power of Lessons Learned Projects are discrete. They have a beginning and an end, at which time the project team disbands and moves on to other things. Despite the fact there has inevitably been significant tacit learning during the project, there is often only a limited capture of this into a sharable form for future reuse. Too often, as the project team dissolves, the learning fades into the memories of individuals minds. This makes it extremely difficult for others to benefit in the future from the insights learned. The usual excuses for this loss echoing through the corridors include just too hard, not enough time, team disbanded before we had the chance, and many more. The key error here is the incorrect assumption that learning during or from projects is an added bonus or a nice- to-have luxury. This is not the case in best.
Your Immersion Project for this course is essentially ethnographic r.docx
Your Immersion Project for this course is essentially ethnographic research. When you hear the words
ethnography
or
ethnographic research
, you may think of Margaret Mead or Franz Boas performing their research on cultures outside their own countries and living among their research subjects. Contemporary ethnographic research includes many other types of research scenarios, such as urban ethnography, neighborhood studies, and even microstudies of groups as small as families and individuals.
Ethnography
is any systematic study of people and cultures, usually conducted through observation, interviews, dialogues, participation, and historical research. Ethnography is used across disciplines as varied as anthropology, linguistics, sociology, advertising, and of course, human services and social work.
Your Immersion Project is just that—a study of a population group with the goal of better understanding the culture of the group. As you complete this project over the course of the semester, keep in mind one of the classical hallmarks of ethnographic research, pioneered by Boas: The beliefs and activities of humans have to be interpreted within their own cultural terms and not evaluated or judged through the cultural lens or terms of the observer or researcher. That is, human beliefs and behavior are culturally relative.
This week, you submit your Immersion Project Paper, one of two culminating parts of your Final Project for this course (along with your narrated PowerPoint, which is due in Week 10).
This 7- to 10-page paper will be a culmination of what you have experienced and explored throughout your work on this project. Since everyone’s experience will be different, the content of the paper will vary for each student; however, there are two sections that everyone should include:
Reflection on your Immersion Project:
Observation: What observational activity did you attend and what insight did it give you into your selected population?
Dialogue: How did you carry out your dialogue? Reflect on your experience and what insight it gave you into your selected population.
Reaction and Critical Analysis of your experience: This section should incorporate your reflections on your experiences, what you learned about the group, what you learned about yourself, and how your perceptions of this group have changed over time.
Several areas to address in this section:
Description of the group
Values/belief orientation
Social interactions (relationships within and between group members)
Religious/spiritual beliefs
Roles and expectations
Language and communication

Total 62
Feasibility of the proposed change
HHF has examined its resources and budgetary constraints and determined that the installation of the LAN is feasible. There is a need to maintain as low a budget as possible.
Project Goals
The goals for the LAN project are as follows:
Fully functional networked system
Design a boardroom in which any department's information can be accessed and expressed
Illustrate the complete network and boardroom design
Maintain as low a price as possible
Current state
The new facility consists of 5 six-cubicle work areas and a separate MIS Department and a boardroom. (See the schematic below) Each work area also includes a closed office for the department head.
Deliverables
The deliverables are outlined below:
Begin compiling your project plan by choosing network servers, routers, and hubs. Describe your network model, topology, and selections with an explanation of your choices in a memo to Roger Chen, the chief information officer at HHF. Be sure to use terms and concepts that you have learned in this course.

ADD COMMENT AND INFORMATION TO THE TEXT BELOW
Many people are skeptical that climate change is even occurring on our beautiful planet. Some places worldwide feel its effects through increased temperatures, which is desirable to some. However, many other places, like the lovely island Fiji, are suffering from the effects of climate change. A Youtube video, “Climate Change Fiji,” posted by the user
UN Climate Change
describes the terrible circumstances faced by civilians who are forced to flee their homes due to rising sea levels (www#1). The loss of beach shores has resulted in a drastic decrease in marine life and land species who rely on coastal areas to survive. According to an article posted by author Sarah Taylor, to the site
EuroNews,
titled “Fiji prepares for ‘Climate Refugees’,” since the 19th century, sea levels have risen by around 25 centimeters worldwide (www#2). This rise in sea levels is attributed to the seemingly neverending rise of greenhouse gas emissions into our atmosphere. Another Youtube video, “Climate Change and Fiji,” posted by the user
COP23fj
emphasizes that Fiji is only one of many other Pacific Islands to be battling climate change (www#3). However, Fijians have taken the lead as the spokespeople for all Pacific Islanders to feel protected and not neglected.
These negative biological implications seem to occur in other places around the world, right? Wrong. Our very own city, San Diego, has been facing and will continue to tackle the negative effects of climate change. A typed interview conducted by the Environmental Health Coalition with Kayla Race exemplifies the many ways climate change appears in our communities, including prolonged heat waves, more intense wildfires, increased water costs, and disruptions on electricity (www#4). My family and I have personally been affected by the increased water (and energy) costs and the interruptions on our electricity. We don’t use our AC system and rely on fans for a cool down from our heatwave, yet are charged more than during the year and face blackouts quite often. A video posted in 2017 by the San Diego Union-Tribune, explains the differences between catastrophic and existential climate change (www#5). Catastrophic damage is survivable by humans, while existential climate change threatens the immediate safety of humans. Many still do not believe that these repercussions are created by car emissions into the air, affecting our atmospher.

Your good friends have just adopted a four-year-old child. At this point, the only socialization decision they have made is that the child is going to preschool. Imagine that you are an expert in your chosen field. Your friends have come to you for advice and to devise a plan to raise their child. They ask you to be frank with them and give them specific examples to support your opinions. They are determined to raise this child to the best of their ability. Since they are new parents, they need advice on everything!
The summative assignment is to develop a user-friendly PowerPoint handbook of suggestions. The handbook will demonstrate your understanding of the material by applying the major topics discussed in the course to a real situation.
The PowerPoint presentation for the Final Project must include:
Title slide (one slide)
Introduction of the material for the new adoptive parents (one to two slides)
At least 15 slides summarizing each of the items listed below (one to two slides for each item). Please note that the content of each slide should appear in the notes section, while the slide itself should contain the information that would be presented to the parents.
An image that represents each item
Conclusion slide that clearly explains why the parents should review this material (one to two slides)
Reference slide with at least three scholarly sources and the course text properly cited (one slide)
Writing the PowerPoint Presentation of the Final Project
Summarize Bronfenbrenner's ecological model and describe why it is important for them to be aware of this theory (one to two slides).

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Your initial post is due by midnight (1159 PM) on Thursday. You mus.docx
- 1. Your initial post is due by midnight (11:59 PM) on Thursday. You must write at least 400 words on Olive Senior's "The Pain Tree" and Ana Menéndez's "Her Mother's House" (in other words, at least 200 words for each story). Instead of relying on plot summary you will support your interpretation by using and analyzing textual evidence. When you quote the story make sure you cite the page number: for instance, after the quotation put the page number in parenthesis (60). Avoid writing out "on page 60". When you quote a passage from the story make sure you introduce the context and that you are analyzing the meaning of what you quoted. I encourage your own formulations, but address the following prompts (you can address them in any order and be sure to write at least three or more paragraphs): In the short stories, you are going to encounter protagonists attempting to reconnect and remember (as in "putting together again") their Caribbean "home" spaces. How have their perceptions of their Caribbean homelands been shaped by their parents? What new perceptions do they gain and how does this transform their view of themselves and their history? Victor Shklovsky argues that ostranenie ("making strange" in Russian, and also translated as estrangement/defamiliarization) is the essence of literature. Where in the two stories do we encounter descriptions of estranged perception? Analyze the significance of these
- 2. moments in the stories. Be sure to consult and cite Shkovsky's essay (especially his definition of ostranenie on page 80) to support your analysis. For our annotation assignment, we learned how to notice patterns and overlooked meanings that helped us understand "Sonny's Blues" more fully. In "The Pain Tree" and "Her Mother's House" what patterns, connections or implied meanings did you notice structuring the stories?
