...chapters named after specific people, it also represents the bigger picture of the residents within the town and the hardships they endure. The story also shows a unique connection between change, denial of one's past, and the separation between the older and younger generation. Within the chapter Mavis, we learn that she is a mother who tragically kills her infant twins Merle and Pearl by suffocation. She left the twins in the car meanwhile while she goes into a grocery store.Although it seemed like an accident, we are not clear if it was truly that or if she has some kind of mental health problem. She has an abusive husband Frank, who is also alcoholic, this most likely contributes to her fears and anxieties, blowing things out of proportion. Her main fear is that she is paranoid that her husband and three kids are going to murder her. Gigi, also known as Grace, departures the bus in Ruby as K.D. and Arnette conflict with each other. Arnette was pregnant with Kentucky Derbys child. Arnette wasn't giving him much say, K.D. hits Arnette because she said comments about the boys seeing Gigi walk off the bus. This turned to a town council meeting her father and K.D.'s uncles got involved. Themes like Patriarchy, and Immigrants denial in society specifically compare to times in american history. Patriarchy is a major problem in today's society. The inequality between men and women although used to be a greater difference, is still a huge problem. Today there may not be as much domestic...

... Footloose 1984 & 2011 Footloose! Seen it? Want to? Which one? There are two; one came out in 1984 (directed by Herbert Ross starring Kevin Bacon), and the other one in 2011 (directed by Craig Brewer starring Kenny Wormald). Music and characters are very similar, but the dance moves and time frame are different in both Footloose movies. The first thing noticeable is the difference in the time eras from one movie to the other. In the 1984 movie, the game of chicken is introduced when Ren is challenged to play chicken on farm tractors on a narrow road. Ren is driving one tractor and Chuck is driving the other going toward one another until one tractor goes into the ditch. Now in the 2011 movie, Ren and Chuck play chicken using derby busses to play the game, by racing in a figure eight (with four busses total making sure to not go too fast or too slow). The end is when one of the busses catches on fire, as Ren jumps from the bus, and crashes into the other bus. The other thing one will also notice is the similarities and difference between the reckless behaviors in the two movies, in the 1984 movie, when Ariel (the preacher’s daughter) is leaving church in a car with her friends; Chuck drives up beside the girls. Ariel climbs out of the car onto Chuck’s truck, and at one point Ariel is standing between the two vehicles while an oncoming eight-teen wheeler approaches head-on; both vehicles wind up in the ditch. Another time when Ariel’s reckless behavior comes into play...

She was the younger of two children. Nightingale's affluent British family belonged to elite social circles. Her mother, Frances Nightingale, hailed from a family of merchants and took pride in socializing with people of prominent social standing. Despite her mother's interest in social climbing, Florence herself was reportedly awkward in social situations. She preferred to avoid being the center of attention whenever possible. Strong-willed, Florence often butted heads with her mother, whom she viewed as overly controlling. Still, like many daughters, she was eager to please her mother. "I think I am got something more good-natured and complying," Florence wrote in her own defense, concerning the mother-daughter relationship. Early life Embley Park, now a school, was one of the family homes of William Nightingale. Young Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale was born on 12 May 1820 into a rich, upper-class, well-connected British family at the Villa Colombaia...

...Adver-ties Things In to Everything When people flip through magazines, advertisements are on every other page, but they are quickly overlooked. Advertisements are part of people’s daily lives. This is a big part of what advertisement makers take into account. They need to use certain methods to somehow catch people’s attention in the piles of advertisements that surround everyone. Advertisements are actually mini works of art that take many man hours to manufacture. Advertisements are selling products by use of manipulation on media. There are many parts to advertisements that consumers are blissfully unaware of but affect them psychologically. Many things drive humans to buy goods thinking it will attract a mate, or they think it will fill a need. Advertisement makers are very good at going into a person’s mind and making them think the products they are selling are needed. The makers of advertisements are skillfully weaving masterpieces that a reader will glance upon, but still get a message conveyed to them via imagery, manipulation, and text. The audience of this advertisement might be that of the fashion conscientious. This specific advertisement was found in a 2010 Cosmopolitan magazine. This particular magazine is targeted towards women ranging from the age of 20-40 years of age meaning advertisements in the magazine are also geared towards women in that age group.

.... English Composition 1102 Fiction Writing Assignment Chapter 1 – “Hunters in the Snow” 1. Discuss the way Tub is presented in the opening scene. Does your assessment of his character change in the later scenes? The character of Tub was presented in the opening scene as someone who would not stand up for himself and was willing to be ridiculed and made fun of to be part of a group. He allowed his friends to take advantage of him by making him wait over an hour in the cold and snow, accepting this behavior without even an apology. Tub was a character with low self esteem and was embarrassed of his weight, which allows him to make excuses and lie to everyone. The assessment of Tub did not change at the end of the story. He was still the same character as in the beginning. He moved up in his position as friend to Frank which made him feel better, but at the expense of Kenny’s health. Tub still had low self esteem, but he ended up acting as selfish as Frank. Chapter 2 – “How I Met My Husband” 4. Is Edie a sympathetic character? How does her status as “the hired girl” affect the way you respond to her as a reader? Edie was a sympathetic character. Her self-described title “the hired girl” affects the reader’s response as it portrays her with low self esteem. She comes across as not fitting in because she was not in the same social standing as Dr. and Mrs. Peebles. The reader becomes sympathetic with Edie compared to the other characters due to her being a simple...

...Case 1: Specific Performance Remedy Denied on Equity Standard Campbell Soup Co. v. Wentz et. al. UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS THIRD CIRCUIT 172 F.2d 80 (1949) OPINION BY: GOODRICH The transactions which raise the issues may be briefly summarized. On June 21, 1947, Campbell Soup Company (Campbell), a New Jersey corporation, entered into a written contract with George B. Wentz and Harry T. Wentz, who are Pennsylvania farmers, for delivery by the Wentzes to Campbell of all the Chantenay red cored carrots to be grown on fifteen acres of the Wentz farm during the 1947 season . . . The contract provides . . . for delivery of the carrots at the Campbell plant in Camden, New Jersey. The prices specified in the contract ranged from $23 to $30 per ton according to the time of delivery. The contract price for January 1948 was $30 a ton. The Wentzes harvested approximately 100 tons of carrots from the fifteen acres covered by the contract. Early in January 1948, they told a Campbell representative that they would not deliver their carrots at the contract price. The market price at that time was at least $90 per ton, and Chantenay red cored carrots were virtually unobtainable. The Wentzes then sold approximately 62 tons of their carrots to . . . Lojeski, a neighboring farmer. Lojeski resold about 58 tons on the open market, approximately half to Campbell and the balance to other purchasers. On January 9, 1948, Campbell, suspecting that Lojeski was selling it "contract carrots," refused to...

...INTRODUCTION Frustration of contract is employed when performance of the obligations by any of the parties becomes impossible due to external factors without any fault of any of the parties. It must be remembered that it applies to those cases of subsequent impossibility and not to those which are impossible right from the outset. The doctrine of frustration was devised for a different class of cases of contracts in which the circumstances so occur that the execution of the contract as required by the terms of the contract are impeded. The changes resulting from such supervening circumstances are not opportune but are sudden and uncalled for which make the contractual obligation impossible to perform. But before applying the doctrine of frustration it has to be established whether the particular situation was provided for in the contract. And the provision which lays down the follow up actions to be taken by the parties when such a situation occurs is called force majeure clause. For example, a contract for the sale of some goods being imported by sea might say, “in the event of the cargo being lost at sea, this is what happens…” A force majeure clause is only valid if the provision is full and complete – that is, it has to be specific about what risk is being provided for.[1] Thus against this backdrop the author will be focusing on the historical evolution of the doctrine, the grounds of its application, theoretical effect and its interpretation and implementation by...
