...Analysis of Pooh Bear’s Nonsensical Hums Throughout the story, Pooh bear hums and songs are added to create a sort of lightness to so called serious situations. He is a simple, humorous and loving character that captures the facets of childhood. Milne has created a novel to entertain children and their parents through creating a quirky yet secure world of imagination, adventure and enjoyment. During the time period when Winnie the Pooh was written there were many historical events taking place, such as the World War, social dilemmas confronting England and the technological advances in society. None of which are mentioned in the book. Paula T. Connolly writes the following about Winnie-the-Pooh “envisions an alternative world that is safe, rural, insulated and largely Edenic.” We can see why Connolly would think as such from the many poems and hums throughout the novel, which are unstructured and non-judgmental. An example of this would be the “Cloud Song” (pg.17) where Pooh Bear sings about being a cloud to deceive the Queen Bee. The song is spontaneous and Milne appreciates that children have this great gift of imagination like Pooh. The hums, poems and songs are “largely Edenic” (4) throughout the book and it is said that children have a greater connection to nature than what an adult does; so nature is supposed to inspire us and make one feel like a child again. On the other hand some aspects of the poems are much darker than what meets the eye. One may say that the...

...METHODOLOGY In order for me to carry out this investigation I will be the `Caregiver` which involves me reading `Winnie the Pooh`, a gender neutral book to two of nieces and my nephew. I used a tape recorder to record them, which I then transcribed. I got the parents of the children to sign a consent form which I created; in which they will give me permission of undertake this language investigation. I intend to analyse and annotate my transcripts according to lexical, grammatical and caregiver language features which are evident within my texts. As I believe that these are crucial areas in the way children acquire language. I used Microsoft excel which allowed me to accurately count the number of verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, nouns etc. Which were used by each child. This resulted in statistical data that will create concrete evidence which I will use in my essay to support my analysis. INTRODUCTION/HYPOTHESIS For my A-level English language investigation coursework, I have chosen to evaluate child language Acquisition and how gender differences may be apparent at the telegraphic stage as well as how caregiver language can vary when interacting with different genders. When looking over at my transcripts I will keep a few questions into consideration: * Does gender influence child language acquisition? * Does caregiver language alter our verbal communication when interacting with different...

Wayne The Soda Coca-Cola’s tarket market group is the youth – anywhere from the ages of 6 – 24, both male and female. I believe that my Coca Cola is aimed more at teenagers than any other age group. I also think it is aimed at male and female teens because it is seen as a hip, cool drink. I think this because it is mainly promoted on the television which is mostly watched by teenagers rather than older people. It is sold all around so that everyone can buy it but not many older people will because...

...CASE I - MARKETING SPOTLIGHT- NIKE 1. Nike one the top listed shoe company in the current world begun their business in 1962. The company focused on high-quality running shoes designed especially for the athletes. The key factor for Nike was that they have been able to create strong brand preferences among the customers. Nike created their brand image into consumers mind by using celebrity. The company’s commitments to designing innovative footwear for serious athletes help it build a cult following among American consumers. They run their marketing by using top athletes in their advertisement all over America and found that it put a huge influence to the consumer mind. Nike found that product and brand choices of consumers are hugely influenced by the preferences and behavior of their beloved celebrities. So the company signed an upcoming popular runner named Steve Prefontaine for their advertisement in 1973 and Prefontaine’s irreverent attitude matched Nike’s spirit. At the end the thought of using professional athletes in their advertising campaign proved both efficient and effective. Another important reason for Nike’s success was that they read the consumers mind perfectly. Nike does not sell “Nike air max” shoes, it sold a way of life, which is key to its success. This flag is the incentive for the people, and the philosophy behind the energy and determination, is that everyone concerned, whether you are not athletes.

...All summer, the case against Casey Anthony in an Orlando courtroom had audiences discussing her life as if she were the star of a reality television show. The narrative became familiar: Hard-partying single mother fails to report her toddler missing for a month, then lies to police about a kidnapping by a non-existent nanny. Then there was the suspiciously foul smell in the trunk of the mother's car before Caylee Anthony's remains were found in a wooded area. Inside Courtroom 23, however, the seven women and five men of the jury in the Anthony case had to look beyond the salacious details and decide: Was there enough evidence to prove Casey Anthony killed her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee? Their answer was no. On Tuesday, the jury acquitted Anthony, 25, of murdering her child in June 2008. The reason, legal analysts and court watchers said, is that despite the seemingly endless hype surrounding the investigation and trial, the prosecution's case simply didn't hold up. There was no forensic evidence — such as DNA or fingerprints — directly linking Anthony to her daughter's death. In fact, the precise cause of the girl's death was unclear. "The prosecution put out a lot of dots, but they couldn't connect them," says Lawrence Kobilinsky, chairman of the Department of Sciences at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. Kobilinsky had advised Anthony's attorneys on the forensic case against her but was not involved in the trial. After a trial of a month and a half, jurors...

...ORGANISATIONS THEORY AND PRACTICE PROJECT WORKSHEET 1 – 2012 THE COCA COLA COMPANY l Porter's Five Forces Model 1. Competitive Rivalry within an Industry Coke has nearly 50% share of the global carbonated soft-drink industry and over 80% in many markets. The market share of other competitors is too low to encourage any price wars. Cola-Cola gets one of its competitive advantages through the well-known global trade marks by achieving the premium prices. It means Cola-Cola have something that their competitors do not have. Coke appears to have sustainable scale advantages over its competition - its greatest competitive advantage is the scale of its global bottling system, even more than the predominance of the Coke brand. Beverage industry competition can be classified as a Duopoly with Coca Cola and Pepsi, the flagship product of PepsiCo. * Competing brands: Pepsi is second to Coke in sales, and outsells Coca-Cola in some markets. Pepsi internationally manufactures concentrates of brand Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and other brands for sale to franchised bottlers in the US and international markets. Pepsi also markets, sells, and distributes juices under several Tropicana trademarks in the US and internationally. In addition to the soft drink and juice business, PepsiCo is engaged in the snack food segment through its domestic and international Frito Lay business. Like Coca-Cola, Pepsi has been attempting to move into the faster growing non-carbonated beverage segment...
