...Risk And Sacrifice In The Face Of Great Danger What theme epitomizes the braveness and boldness in the characters? In “The Book Thief”, the theme risk and sacrifice in the face of great danger, is manifest. Characters such as Max, Hans, Rudy, and Liesel have presented the use of this theme in their actions throughout the book. Risk and sacrifice in the face of great danger are made evident through the characters actions. The first character who made risks and sacrifices in the face of great danger was Liesel. Liesel made a risk in great danger when she said she hated the Fuhrer. Liesel told her papa, “I hate him” (p.115, Zusak). After Liesel told her papa this, he slapped her and told her, “Don’t ever say that” (p.116, Zusak). He slaps Liesel and tells her that because, if she said that in front of an SS Guard, then Liesel and her family might have been taken away to a concentration camp or could have been killed. This would ultimately lead to their death. Also, Liesel made the same risk when she stole the book, the shoulder shrug....

...being un-supervised. Other people in the community speed over the limit posted and children play there and may be hit or injured. Even though the children play in the street it cause a safety risk to drivers that don’t speed or drive wreck less do to the children running in and out of the streets without looking for cars. The children are our future and they need to be protected. When a person is looking to buy a future home they want to see a nice neighborhood that looks respectable and not as if it’s a bad neighborhood. The appearance of a home in my belief can say a lot about the people who live there. Someone who takes care of their home for example pressure washing, not trash in yard, paint nicely applied. Also there are some resident that don’t have the money but the residents should do as much as they can. To give an example of this a resident in my neighborhood has fixed the garage door which is tilted half way closed and it’s not very appealing. The appearance of a residents lawn as well as home its self make a community. A yard or lawn care should at the minimum have the grass mowed. The plants should be not over grown or deceased. Living in Florida the grass isn’t always...

...The poor people usually depends of this places for basic things like food or sleep,without that help some of them don`t survive winter. Most of these institutions exist thanks to donations made it by average people and not government assistance. Every day there is more people living on the streets and the help is simply not enough, even when these kind of institutions exist. The people which suffer of poverty even when we see them like a kind of dog in the street, they are human and they want a decent life like normal people. Is normal to say that those poor people are living on the streets by their own choice, but like I said before, that is ignorance. That people suffer a lot of things, even things that we never going to feel, for example the hungry . The sad of these situations is that most of these people is...

...If it came down to it, would it make sense for one to steal something for their survival? What if it was only for the betterment of oneself? How about if one did not care or even fully realize what they were doing? Would all of these still be considered thievery? Questions like these have the power to shroud opinions about what is defined as right and wrong. These certain questions are able to challenge people on their take of the difference between stealing for survival and stealing for greed. Ideas like these, revolving around the rightness of thievery, present themselves many times throughout The Book Thief, written by Markus Zusak. This novel follows the life of the main character Liesel Meminger as she adapts to her new life while trying...

Running head: CONCORD BOOKSHOP PAPER Submitted by: jmb529 Concord Bookshop Paper Jonell Benson HCS/587 Ginger Weatherston University of Phoenix Concord Bookshop Paper This paper will discuss the organizational change process from the readings of, “Tales of Woe at Concord Bookshop.” The variety of change processes gives change leaders and administrators the ability to visualize the internal and external components of change that will go against the status quo and possibly cause a clash between the owners and the workers. The phases in the organizational change model are strategic responsiveness, behavioral change, employee participation and resistance to change. Also included, are the three faces of change and trigger events and change. I will describe two portions of the change process that were not completed or implemented at the Concord Bookshop, which caused failure of the change process. While attempting to implement change, the change leader must first assess the need for change. There was an increase in the amount of competition with...

...thus, consumerism of children’s literature and how technology has transmuted the way that younger readers interact with the literature. She withal argues that the Harry Potter novels “attempt to make their own ingenious appropriation of the quandary of consumer goods and media” (inquiry. 548). Teare also explicates how children would rather watch movies or play video games than read books in which these mediums derived from. Teare indites, “Books have lost children’s attention … to other media that present narrative fantasies” (inquiry. 548).Teare utilizes the Harry Potter novels to illustrate how the characters face the same challenges we do when it comes to consumerism. A great example is when she mentioned the scene of the Quidditch cup where the children would spend their mazuma on “schlocky souvenirs” (inquiry. 548), then...

...effective because companies are able to maximize the effectiveness of their advertisements, aiming at consumers that have the highest probability of making the purchase due to personal preference. This tactic is especially useful for online book stores, as readers can be given suggestions on books to buy based off of information on previous purchases. For example, if customer A enjoys reading mystery novels and has purchased several in the past, an online book store can suggest other books in the mystery genre that the reader has not yet purchased. Thanks to the information stored on customer A’s previous purchases, the company can see what kind of novels have the highest probability of being bought by customer A, namely mystery novels. An online bookstore usually accomplishes this by having a “Recommended for you” tab at the bottom or top of its web page. This is effective advertising that increases sales, because had customer A not been informed of an appealing product, he/she may not have made that extra purchase, and would have concluded shopping for that time. In its essence, behavioral targeting collects information on an individual's browsing behavior on-line to help choose which advertisements to show that individual. When a company knows what books a customer has bought in the past, it makes it easier to provide them with more relevant novels; before long, each customers “Recommended for you” tab will be tailored to their individual taste, making their shopping experience much...

...sheet that helped me molds the person that I am now and a thin sheet that gave me the knowledge that I have now. Through the years, paper is used as a medium to convey printed or written information such as books, magazines, newspaper, and etc. Today, the digitalization in the print industry leads to an assumption that the Age of paperless paper is coming. Yes, paperless, based on the pessimistic people. No more printed outputs, no more newspapers and magazines or even books that are held and read by human. Of course, electronic books (ebooks) are available now. You can have a book on your gadget for free or pay just a little amount rather than buying a real book. Online newspaper and magazines too are converging to online world. They already have applications that let you read the same newspaper using just your gadget with the help of the internet. Cool right? Life becomes easier with the advent of technology. But it gives a hard time to the print industry. It is happening. Papers are turning paperless, but not all. Some documents are best kept in a written or printed output rather that to put it online such as confidential ones because hackers - or the so called thieves - are also available in the digital world. I cannot imagine having a life without paper. No paperback books that I can sniff while reading, no newspaper that I can...

Books are a mainstay at the Alberta stores. "Books make great gifts," said Pam Reber, owner of Wisemen's Way. "Bibles are our No. 1 seller." When a bible is chosen as gift, a natural accompaniment would be a bible case, something that's available in a variety of designs. In addition to books, all the stores sell Christian music and videos. However, not all take the same approach with Scott's Parable and Wisemen's Way reducing their stock. A reason for carrying fewer music CDs is that listeners can now download their favourite tunes rather than buying albums. But Monds takes a...

...Until recently, my experience with books has been lukewarm at best. Reading has always been something I’ve enjoyed, yet it was never something I prioritized. Consequently, I only read what was required for school. This essentially was my relationship with books until my sophomore year of high school when I was influenced by many of my older peers. I witnessed them having the most interesting conversations about various works of literature and science. I was enamored by what they had to say, strove to follow their example. Furthermore, I was privileged enough to have a TAC graduate as one of my instructors, exposing me to a variety of great books that fueled my interest. He also brought the Socratic Method into the classroom which continued...

...Case Study Best-Book-Buy Online Bookstore Requirements Specification Document (By Henrique Paques, Leo Mark and Shamkant B. Navathe) 1. Introduction The purpose of this case study is to present a data-intensive application for which a database can be designed. It is described with sufficient degree of detail so that the application can be implemented in languages like Java or C using ODBC or JDBC connectivity to the relational database. This case study is an illustration of the typical project we have been using to teach an undergraduate class in database design that covers essentially the first 16 chapters of the textbook at Georgia Tech. The user interface is defined in screen format – these screens can be implemented using Visual Basic or Java as needed, or a simpler version of the interface using simple text menus may be implemented. There are a few reports included in the application specification. They are for illustrative purposes and may be modified as well. The methodology to be followed uses conceptual design in the Entity Relationship Model (Chapter 3), followed by a mapping of the ER schema into the relational schema (Chapter 7). The application is broken into a number of tasks and the inputs and outputs are related to the tasks by means of an Information Flow Diagram. Students should use Chapter 12 to understand the overall process of database design used for design of large databases. A design methodology is developed during the discussion of this...
