...Ernest Hemingway Indian Camp (1924) At the lake shore there was another rowboat drawn up. The two Indians stood waiting. Nick and his father got in the stern of the boat and the Indians shoved it off and one of them got in to row. Uncle George sat in the stern of the camp rowboat. The young Indian shoved the camp boat off and got in to row Uncle George. The two boats started off in the dark. Nick heard the oarlocks of the other boat quite a way ahead of them in the mist. The Indians rowed with quick choppy strokes. Nick lay back with his father's arm around him. It was cold on the water. The Indian who was rowing them was working very hard, but the other boat moved further ahead in the mist all the time. "Where are we going, Dad?" Nick asked. "Over to the Indian camp. There is an Indian lady very sick." "Oh," said Nick. Across the bay they found the other boat beached. Uncle George was smoking a cigar in the dark. The young Indian pulled the boat way up on the beach. Uncle George gave both the Indians cigars. They walked up from the beach through a meadow that was soaking wet with dew, following the young Indian who carried a lantern. Then they went into the woods and followed a trail that led to the logging road that ran back into the hills. It was much lighter on the logging road as the timber was cut away on both sides. The young Indian stopped and blew out his lantern and they all walled on along the road. They came around a bend and a dog came...

...GCSE English Merisha Suleyman Ganidagli Golding presentation of the island I personally think that William Golding presents the island mysteriously. This is shown when he describes the environment the quote “the long scar smashing into the jungle”. He wants us to realise that when the boys landed they “smashed” onto this island empty plain and destroyed the beautiful features of nature. At the beginning of LOTF the children were civilized and were in organised groups. But it did not take that long for most of the boys to lose structure, control and reasoning. This is seen by the boys becoming lazy and starting to do things as they pleased as show when “Ralph inspected the whole thirty yards carefully and then plunged in .The water was warmer than his blood…… This emphasises the temptation of the warm water and the comparison to the temperature of his blood indicating the start of a chaotic chapter for the boys in the story. This change transforms from an angelic atmosphere to a sinister environment. From the beginning of the of the story, the writer creates an atmosphere that makes the reader feel tension building by relating to colours.” A bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was echoed by another”. This indicates the use of red for blood and foreshadows the upcoming danger. Yellow represents caution which also foreshadows the negative side of how the story progresses. The use of adjectives such as “long, deep...

...Case Study: Coca-Cola in India- 1. First of all, Americans and Indians use different language. Because of this, sometimes Coca-cola might make some mistakes or Indians might misunderstand what Coca-Cola wants to convey to them. In addition, unlike Americans, most of Indians are poor; water might the only beverage which they can drink. Therefore, they don’t care Coca-Cola improve the quality of the coke bottle or not. They only care their water. Finally, there are different ways and styles of communication in each country. Americans’ communication styles are more direct. However, Indians are conservative and indirect. 2.

...Bangladesh Governments: (1971-2009) Bangladesh’s first government took oath on April 10, 1971. The provisional government of the new nation of Bangladesh was formed in Dhaka with the president of the republic, justice Abu Sayed Choudhury and Taj Uddin as Prime Minister. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, 1972–75: The first parliamentary elections held under the 1972 constitution were in March 1973, with the Awami League winning a massive majority. No other political party in Bangladesh's early years was able to duplicate or challenge the League's broad-based appeal, membership, or organizational strength. Mujib and his cabinet having no experience in governance nor administration, relied heavily on experienced civil servants and political factions of the Awami League, the new Bangladesh Government focused on relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of the economy and society. Mujib nationalised the entire economy, banking and industrial sector. Economic conditions took a serious downturn. On top of that heavy corruption among his own party members, factions and senior leadership also added to the devastation and famine. The then U.S. Secretary of State termed Bangladesh a Bottomless Basket. In December 1974, Mujib decided that continuing economic deterioration and mounting civil disorder required strong measures. After proclaiming a state of emergency, Mujib used his parliamentary majority to win a constitutional amendment limiting the powers of the legislative and judicial branches...

...Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler have been together for a while. There have even been rumors that he might have cheated on Amy with her. Caryn has worked at the Roloff Farm since before his divorce from Amy, but now Radar Online is sharing that she is no longer employed there. This has fans really curious what is going on with the couple. Caryn has moved on Caryn Chandler has been working for the family for over ten years, but an insider at the farm is saying she no longer works for the Roloff family at all. It isn't like she changed jobs at the farm, instead, she isn't working on the farm. It is obvious that Amy has had some problems with Matt and Caryn's relationship, but she was still working there until recently. It would probably take a lot for Matt to be convinced to fire her, so it sounds like there is more to this story. This season on "Little People, Big World" Matt made it sound like they really need Caryn on the farm. He said, "Caryn is instrumental in running pumpkin season, she’s run it for 10 years. She tries to get Amy as involved as she can. There was awkwardness a little bit, but we’re all kind of finding our way. I enjoy her immensely. Whether we’re working or whether we’re relaxing, we have a great time together.” Did they split? So far, nobody seems to know for sure if Matt and Caryn split, but it sounds that way. He is no longer following her on Instagram and there isn't really any other reason that she would quit working at the farm. Some of the kids...

...‘Using Films to Learn About The Nature of Cross-cultural Stereotypes in Intercultural Business Communication Courses’ written by Peter W. Cardon from the University of South Carolina has helped shed light on ways instructors can educate their students in the classroom by using multimedia to bring awareness to cultural differences, and to help promote students to interact with one another in real-life situations, either on campus or in their careers. The author has chosen the film Slumdog Millionaire as his educational tool as a prime example to introduce Indian culture to Americans. In a business world full of communication, it is inevitable that a student will be faced to communicate with an individual with a different cultural background at one time or another. Many students sometimes do not realize how similar they really are with those who have been raised in a different culture. Peter W. Cardon feels that for students to grasp these similarities it is important to introduce real-life scenarios to bring awareness to cultural differences through multimedia. Teaching a generation that has been raised by watching TV, movies, and using their computers to become educated in certain areas students may be able understand cultural differences more effectively by displaying emotionally strong images. By doing this, students are able to visually see the communication process, cultural values, and acceptable behavior in a different culture. It is also widely known deep emotion...

...The Conflict of Children Behavior While setting at the park I observed a boy named Carter (not real name) playing with some little cars and trucks. He had begun digging in the ground while he was making a dirt track. This young boy had an independent variable; it was him and his toy cars and trucks and no one else. He seemed to be in his own little world. Out of the corner of my eye I saw another boy Dalen (not real name) who was watching as he started to come closer. Dalen stood there for about five minutes, and then he turned around and ran to ask his mother for something. As I was noticing that Dalen was getting a cup of water from his mother instead of drinking it he came over to Carter and started pouring the water on the dirt track that he had made. At this time I notice Carter was staring at the other boy and starting to get up as Dalen through the rest of the water on Carter. Carter started to scream and lunged at Dalen. About the time Carted started to hit Dalen both mothers stepped in. It seems to me that the mothers were talking when Carter’s mother said her son had OCD. Carter’s mother was trying to explain to Dalen’s mother when Dalen ran over to Carter and said he was sorry and could he play anyway. As the parents were still talking the boys were playing together peacefully. When these two boys talked to each other and become friends they began constructive playing with the cars and trucks. While the parents were deciding discipline for the boys, the boys...

...Shankar, who wears his commercial tag like a medallion, has an addiction for making big commercial films. While he's been quite successful at it all these years, it has slowly started to have an adverse effect on his films to the extent that even the presence of a bankable star, say Vikram, doesn't add much value to the output. In his much anticipated film I, Shankar proves that only he can take a wafer thin story and turn it into something outlandishly beautiful yet complex, leaving you with an afterthought - "Why can't he ever make smaller films for a change?" Mostly known for making message-oriented films in which the hero singlehandedly takes on the system, Shankar attempts to tell a romantic tale in his latest offering, said to be made at a budget of over Rs 100 crore. Vikram plays a bodybuilder, Lingesan, who idolises Arnold Schwarzenegger and supermodel Diya, played by Amy Jackson. If the posters of Arnold decorate the walls of his lower middle class home and his gym (which is named after Arnold), there's a box full of women's products endorsed by Diya in his bedroom. In a funny scene, when he's caught red-handed by his friend and asked what he is going to do with all the products (holding a pack of sanitary napkin), Lingesan nonchalantly says he will use it as a pillow. In these refreshing initial moments, Shankar helps us understand that Lingesan has extreme liking for Diya but doesn't love her yet because of their social and cultural divide. There's a...
