...Antigone is worth all the sympathy from the readers in the exchange between her and Polyneces. Antigone is a sympathetic character because she is a cool minded and reasonable soul that loves her brother even amidst his refusal to listen. Polyneces is lamenting when he says “Ah, what a journey! What a failure! My poor companions!”, but cool minded Antigone reminds him he can escape his fate easily by withdrawing the troops and forgetting the quarrel with Etocles (208). Polyneces is convinced his path is the correct path and it provokes aggravation from the reader because we are used to a society filled with alternatives and one straight path is not as comforting as having other possibilities to lean on if the goal is unreachable or achievable...

...the humorous animals he experienced the journey with, and the untrue details that characterize the biblical story. However, the most remarkable information the woodworm includes in the story involves the character of Noah himself. In “The Stowaway,” Julian Barnes uses the voice of the woodworm to depict the character of Noah as a depraved individual. The woodworm brings to our attention Noah’s blind arrogance very early in the story. Noah made decisions and would not change his position even when it was brought to his attention that there were other points of view that might be better than his. As the text of the story itself says, “Animals of a speculative bent began to propound rival selection principals, based on beast size or utility rather than mere number; but Noah loftily refused to negotiate. He was a man who had his little theories, and he didn’t want anyone else’s”. (Barnes 8) This demonstrates the woodworm’s dislike for Noah’s lack of consideration of other’s feelings. Noah made up his mind about how he was going to select the animals for the ark. He would not consider alternative selection criteria. He refused to listen to the pleas of the animals to reconsider his decision, believing that his methods were best. This shows Noah’s flaw of egocentrism. Another flaw that the woodworm recognizes in the character of Noah is his extreme abusiveness towards the animals on the ark. The text itself says: “I don’t know how best to break this to you, but Noah was not a nice man...

...Types An alternative fuel vehicle is a vehicle that runs on something other than traditional fuel, or a vehicle that does not completely rely on one type of fuel but instead a combination of fuel and battery power. The type of alternative fuel vehicle best suited for a rental car company such as Lotus, would depend on what types of alternative fuel or technology they have available. There are several different types of vehicles available, each one with a different or combination technology for alternative fuel use. Some vehicles are not available in all states, so this would also be a consideration for Lotus. The most popular and readily available alternative fuel vehicle is the Hybrid cars. Although not technically considered an alternative fuel car, these vehicles operate using advanced technology that combines the electric battery, motor and generator, creating more efficient use of traditional fuel. In addition to the gas tank they have an electric battery that stores energy during the speeding and slowing parts of a typical journey. This type of vehicle will offer a substantial savings in fuel costs because of the engine’s efficiency. Many car companies offer Hybrid cars at a reasonable cost to consumers. Honda, Toyota, Lexus and Ford all lead the way with a variety of these vehicles. There are a limited number of automakers producing Ethanol fuel vehicles. Ford, Dodge and Chevy each have a model currently available that runs on this alternative fuel. Ethanol-fueled...

...first chance at becoming a rapper failed when he lost the MC battle. As he struggled to work hard, he had the commitment in taking another chance in achieving his dream which was becoming a rapper when he won his next battle. While reading over the lyrics, these verses really stuck out to me . "Too much for me to wanna stay in one spot, another day monotony Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot before I end up in jail or shot" The meaning of these verses is saying that he is trapped in a situation where he is confused on what step to take on further in life. He goes through many obstacles throughout his journey in effort to break out of his problems. He had to be very cautious in any strategies he planned to make because he didn't want to end up being killed or put into jail, so he had to think of other alternatives to keeping him getting in trouble with the law. He calls himself a snail because he doesn't like what he's d oing in life. Everything seemed to be slow to his taste. Working at a factory is not what he dreamed of becoming. His dream was to be a rapper. Eminem had dreams he wanted to accomplish in life and he wanted to achieve it no matter how long it took. The impact these lyrics had on me personally showed me that we have so many opportunities in life that we either miss or never even notice coming to us. These lyrics describe his rise to stardom from starting from the bottom to being one of the top best rappers in the world. If you...

...Victor Bello 6/26/12 Psychology Dr. Kinslow MUSIC PRODUCTION AND CREATIVE THINKING “Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.” These words of wisdom come from the great philosopher Plato and I have taken them to heart along my musical journey. I’ve known for a long time that I would find my calling in a career in the music industry. It was around the age of 12 that I really how much I really loved music and wanted to do this for the rest of my life. My journey into music began with me teaching myself to play the drums, even though I had taken guitar and violin lessons in the past this was the first instrument I learned on my own and the beginning of my journey to become a music producer. I have realized that many of the concepts in psychology can be applied successfully to the music industry and ultimately further me in my career as a music producer. As I have been studying psychology, there are four major concepts that have stuck out to me as the most crucial things I needed to survive in the music industry. The first was emotional intelligence, also known as EQ, this is a crucial factor to me because I believe that to be a very good music producer you need to understand how other people’s emotions work. This is really important because music is all about emotion and expression, such things as a change in tempo and scale can make a happy song sound more depressing and slow. For one to produce music...

...job seekers and those dissatisfied with work or life to examine their beliefs about work and recognize that, "in many cases your beliefs are what brought you to where you are today." You may have been raised to think that women were best at nurturing and caring and, therefore, should be teachers and nurses. So that's what you did. Or, perhaps you were brought up to believe that you should do what your father did, so you have taken over the family business, or become a dentist "just like dad." If this sounds familiar, it's probably time to look at the new possibilities for your future. Miller developed a 7-step process to help potential job seekers assess their current situation and beliefs, identify their real passion, and start on a journey that allows them pursue their passion through work. Step 1: Willingness to do something different. Breaking the cycle of doing what you have always done is one of the most...

...Between Dreams and Reality: The Citizen Kane Effect “If I hadn’t been very rich, I might have been a really great man.” Charles Kane has said to audiences since 1941. Citizen Kane has been a staple in the classrooms of film studies as well as on lists of classic movies. Although meant to have been premiered on February 14, 1941 at Radio City Music Hall, the intense threats of William Randolph Hearst, who it is believed Orson Welles modeled the fictional character of Kane from, caused most theatres unwilling to risk backlash and thus striking the film from their show lineups. Financial success at the box office was assured to be nonexistent and eventually caused Welles departure from RKO Studios and restricted direction freedom on his future projects. The controversy surrounding the film didn’t stop there. True authorship will forever be debated with credit being distributed between co-writers Mankiewicz and Welles. Although either side you take gain perspective on the core audience they developed their groundbreaking story for and undoubtably had the greatest impact on: the middle class liberal males of the 1940’s and 1950’s. “The people are going to see Citizen Kane, and not one of them will be quite the same person after seeing it as he was before. It is profoundly moving an experience as only this extraordinary and hitherto unexplored medium of sound-cinema can afford in two hours. You leave it with regret, wishing you could see it all through again, feeling...

...Marketing Plan RASA Travel Agency Sayeh Samandi Introduction: There is Travel Agency Company in Tehran (Capital of Iran) which is called RASA, I decided to write a marketing plan for this company because I was working as an accountant in that company in 2008. RASA was formed March 2004 to provide hard adventure sport/travel packages with upscale accommodations. RASA Hard adventures include kayaking, white water rafting, and mountain biking. The founders of RASA are Amir Rezaee (also the president of RASA), MBA/JD, Mohammad Akbari, MBA, and Hamid Majidi, MBA. Also to their MBA status, they are fervent about the activities RASA will offer. Tourism stakeholders in Malaysia and Iran want to set up a joint committee to promote tourism related activities between the two countries and curb illegal practices among agents. RASA’S President, Dr Amir Rezaee, said he would increase the number of familiarisation trips to be spread out next year to convince travel agents the country is “safe and beautiful” and has products and attractions that appeal to Malaysians. The most important duty for RASA is pick the tourists up from Iran to Malaysia. An opportunity exists for two reasons: 1. Tourism is a growing industry (4% annually) and within the industry, adventure travel is growing at 10%. 2. There are few providers of hard adventure tour to upscale customers. Almost all companies that provide "hard" adventure activities request to a lower income client...

...that prompted Chopin’s narrative. In Louisiana, which is the setting for The Awakening, most women at the time were their husbands' legitimate property. In addition, this was a prominently Catholic state meaning divorce was tremendously uncommon, and women expected to stay loyal and faithful to their husbands. This explains some reactions The Awakening received in after its publication in 1899. Chopin uses symbolism as an excellent device to insert her personal views to the reader giving them a foretaste into the life of this young woman at a time when women had no political rights and many restraints. In Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening,” she uses a variety of birds as symbols to illuminate Edna’s journey through life. The essential significance throughout the story is the desire to break away from the traditional views of women during the Victorian Era. However, Edna struggles with the backlash she would receive if she chose to fulfill her own desires, signifying what she actually wants in life. In Chopin’s text, she portrays this struggle vividly by using a caged parrot that gives voice to Edna’s unspoken feelings and her figurative imprisonment. In the beginning of Chopin’s story, “A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over: “Allez vous-en! Allex vous-en! Sapristi! That’s all right!” (Chopin 1). Edna is...
