...not live this life they really wanted to live. Maybe they have a dream they want to fulfil, or they want to have another kind of lifestyle. 2. I like this story. It is sweet, fond and funny even though it is the old story once more: The mother-in-law who fights against a possible son-in-law because she hates the truth that her daughter is a grown up woman who might soon leave her parents. In all this mess the father-in-law sits back in his chair saying nothing. What are his feelings, his thoughts?

...As the Time Draws Near This analytical essay will provide an analysis and interpretation of american writer Eowyn Ivey’s short story “As the Time Draws Near” (2012). The readers are introduced to the main character, Piper, who grew up in Alaska but later moved away. The short story follows her at a time when she has returned to Alaska in order to spread her dead father’s ashes under a particular spruce tree. She has a lot of thoughts about death and she is almost obsessed with it. Death is the focal point and theme in this short story. It raises questions such as what happens when we die? And what is death really? The story tells about our short time on earth and how fear of death can stand in the way of living life fully with all the experiences the current moment offers. This essay will focus mainly on setting and the father’s outlook on life. Furthermore this essay will also include an analysis of the symbolism in the short story. At the beginning the description of the nature in Alaska is a vivid portrayal followed by a number of incidents where people have been killed in or by this nature. Piper’s father is one of these people, he “falls out of the sky.” (p. 1, l. 10) Her father with the name Red lived his life like it was an adventure. The description of the landscape appears in the same way - like a never-ending adventure. The tundra is a big and open landscape. The mountains, the glaciers and the snow continues into infinity. The same infinity that Piper’s father...

...Running head: TIME MANAGEMENT Time Management TIME MANAGEMENT Abstract Of all the resources that are available to a manager, time management is above them all in level of importance. A manager can master many different skills, but perfecting his or her time management will help the said manager increase their chances of being successful. Time is an inelastic resource that will not grow with demand. It is a constant that must be managed at its highest level. A manager can perfect this skill through techniques designed to help them build the right routine and with a little tracking of the amount of time a manager spends every day on all of the tasks at hand, the more he/she will understand how they can spend their time more wisely. TIME MANAGEMENT There are many different defining characteristics of good leaders. Some leaders have the “gift of gab” so to speak and can deliver a speech that leaves the audience on the edge of their seat waiting for the next word that comes out of the leader’s mouth. Other leaders possess the ability to draft plans that could be used to colonize the moon. Regardless of the skill sets that leaders have there is one unique resource/skill that all leaders must master if they are to be a complete success, time management. “Effective executives, in my observation, do not start with their tasks. They start with their time” (Drucker, P.25). Managing time is more difficult than it may seem, but it encompasses a three step process which...

...Vernissage The short story Vernissage is written by Claire Anderson-Wheeler and is narrated by the main character, Alex, who is a child. The child allows the reader to follow his point of view. Vernissage starts in media res; we do not get an introduction of the characters, but it starts in the middle of a scene. The short story starts with the mother, Frances, who is driving her child Alex home from school. Alex asks the mother about the new dress, which she has bought for the opening of an art exhibition. When they reach home, Alex eats a banana sandwich, which makes him think about his age and about how he could grow too old to eat a banana sandwich. Later, Alex hides himself from his mother under the parents‟ bed because he thinks the mother wants him to do homework. Underneath the bed, Alex becomes a witness to his parents‟ conversation, and becomes aware of the fact that the parents‟ relationship is not going the way he thought. In the end, Alex crawls out from under the bed where he goes to the bathroom which again reminds him of his age. In front of the mirror, he decides that he is too old to have a crocodile toothbrush – exactly like the banana sandwich episode. At the beginning of the short story, Alex is still a young child. We can see it through the way he asks his mother too many questions (p. 1, ll. 22-29) which children always do. Also, Alex behaves like a child when they have dinner, for example. He plays with the food (p. 2, ll. 53-55), and he eats with both...

Ausness* Leasing has become an increasingly popular substitute f or outright purchases as a means o f acquiring products f or use. Few courts a nd commentators, however, have addressed the question o f whether the principles o f strict products liability which apply to sellers also apply to lessors. I n this Article, Professor Ausness reviews the historical basisfor imposing strict liability in tort on sellers a nd applies these rationales to five basic kinds o f lease transactions. H e concludes that strict liability should not apply when a product defect arises after the leased product is placed in the hands o f the lessee (as contrasted with the more typical case o f " manufacturing defects" which arise when the product is manufactured), nor when the leased product is a fixture attached to real property. I n such cases, the lessor should be held to a negligence...

...Most stories no matter their age or place of origin are not written to be taken at face value. There is typically a deeper meaning or moral to the story that the author attempts to convey within the work without directly stating it. But, as the meaning becomes more convoluted, it has a higher potential to be lost on its audience. In order to prevent this disconnect with readers, authors employ allusions, or hidden similarities to popular works during a specific time period. Allusions can add depth to a story and at the same time, they can pass criticism on a certain facet of society. Religious allusions especially can be effective among intellectual populations, likely to subscribe to the idea of social change. Within the stories Teddy and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, authors J.D. Salinger and Ken Kesey allude to well-known religious philosophies to express the fundamentally good nature of their protagonists...

...However no matter what a recruiter tells you, being a mechanic on an aircraft is not the best way to become a pilot. I am currently 30 years old and I’m still just as fascinated with aviation as I was when I was 16. I have worked in every specialized field of Aviation there is from Avionics to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Most recently quitting an amazing six figure a year UAS job with Textron to chase my dream of finishing college and becoming a pilot. I have realized that chasing my dream instead of chasing the all mighty dollar will be more fulfilling in the long run. I honestly do not have a specialized area I would like to go into as a pilot. With all the options available, I can’t choose just one at this time. I want to do them all. I can say I do not want to be a UAS Operator. I know that Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) are the future of aviation but sitting in a box in the back of a truck is not a pilot. I know it is no easy task, but one of my goals is to someday be an Alaskan Bush Pilot. I would love to fly through the mountains and beautiful landscape of Alaska. I have met several interesting pilots in my lifetime and all of them seem to have amazing stories from when they were flying in Alaska. Becoming an Alaskan Bush Pilot will be no easy task. Most jobs require two to three times the experience as pilot jobs in the continental 48 states. In Alaska 1,000 to 1,500 hours are the typical minimum for a new hire. Most companies require some form of minimum...

...Villa’s A Footnote to Youth 9 THE MAKING OF JOSE GARCIA VILLA’S FOOTNOTE TO YOUTH Jonathan Chua Ateneo de Manila University jchua@ateneo.edu This article recounts the story behind the publication of Villa’s stories and his book Footnote to Youth: Tales of the Philippines and Others (1933) in the United States. First, the conditions of the American literary marketplace are briefly described. Second, documents pertaining to the realization in print of Villa’s stories and his book are analyzed as sites of negotiations between colonial subject (Villa) and the colonial master (his American editors and publishers). Finally, an account of how Villa was made to circulate in the Philippines after the publication of his stories and his book in the United States is given. From these discussions the article hopes to show that Villa’s self-fashioning by publication was both subject to and critical of the colonial condition, alternately reinforcing it and challenging it. Abstract Philippine literature in English, book history, postcolonialism, exotic, author Keywords Jonathan Chua teaches at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of the Ateneo de Manila University. He is the editor of The Critical Villa: Essays in Literary Criticism by Jose Garcia Villa (2002).

...Short Story Every morning I wake up to the normal sun shooting through the window, blinding me as I try to open my eyes. My dog, Percy, licking my face off. He insists that every morning at exactly 7:04, she has to go outside. It really is starting to annoy me. Can’t that damn dog just rest? After I go outside for exactly 3 minutes, I realise I have to deal with my boss in exactly 48 minutes. I sit and moan for two minutes. Any more I would be late and any less I would be early: it has to be exactly two minutes. Afterward, I do my normal six-minute shower, I take another 6 minutes to brush my hair, 4 minutes to brush – just like the dentist told me – and five minutes to figure out what I am going to wear today. That leaves me 4 minutes to sit and read The Daily Telegraph and moan about having to drive 20 minutes to a job that I can’t stand. Once I arrive, it takes 2 minutes to hear the lame story about what Ron, the guy two cubicles down, did last night and four minutes ’til I get to hear my boss complain that I never do anything right. Spending 9 and a half hours at my job, driving 26 minutes home, taking two minutes to take Percy out and only getting 25 minutes to myself before lying down in my hard, cold bed and not falling asleep for another 12 minutes can really drive someone crazy. At least that is what my therapist tells me. But it doesn’t make me crazy; it makes everyone else crazy for not wanting to know how much time they actually have. The thing that...

...been attending CCU, I have learned a great deal about myself. This has been especially true during the past five weeks while in the Personal and Social Ethics course. Our philosophy of life greatly influences our ethical decision- making. This paper will discuss several areas related to my philosophy of life, including my character traits, worldview, theory of knowledge and truth, and principals and values that direct my life. Section 1: Character Traits Who am I? The complete answer to this question would be far too long to discuss in the context of this paper. Therefore, in this section, I will focus on one of my most defining characteristics and two other areas that define who I am. I consider being a Christian my most defining characteristic. My beliefs impact everything in my life. Because my beliefs impact my view on life, they will be discussed in greater detail in section two of this paper. Over the course of this Management of Human Resources (MHR) program, I have learned more about two other areas that define who I am. In one of the MHR courses, we took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) (Myers & Briggs, 1993). The MBTI measures personality preferences in four different areas: extraversion (E) versus introversion (I), sensing (S) versus intuition (N), thinking (T) versus feeling (F), and judging (J) versus perceiving (P). When I took the MBTI, I learned that my profile is I, N, F, J/P. The INFJ profile reads: Seek meaning and connection in ideas, relationships, and...

...2014 03:14 GMT) The Pedagogical Possibilities of Covering Gilman’s Wallpaper Karla J. Murphy In his introduction to The Pedagogical Wallpaper, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock notes how the pedagogical diversity of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wall-Paper” prompted him to collect essays for this book. He goes on to explain that “given the ubiquity of the text within various academic settings, I was also struck by the absence of attention to the text within pedagogical contexts. Despite the large (and steadily growing) body of criticism to the story, very little of it explicitly addresses its importance as a tool to facilitate learning or various ways in which to make use of the text in the classroom” (3). As a collection, Weinstock’s The Pedagogical Wallpaper contains informed, detailed, and diverse analysis that attempts to shore up the absence of “pedagogical possibilities” concerning Gilman’s transgressive short story (9). Among the contributors are a MOO space specialist, a Gilman scholar, a queer theorist, an existentialist, a formalist, and several reader/student-response theorists. Because each essayist presents a distinct critical perspective on Gilman’s text, each essay is likewise concerned with “how the narrative teaches and how to teach the narrative” (5). Thus, it seems to me that Weinstock’s The Pedagogical Wallpaper resonates with Pedagogy’s conviction that teaching is central to our work as scholars and educators, no matter what our particular perspective...
