...Earth, because as she used to say” her treasures lie on the other side.” Every one of us seated here today has had fond memories of my grandmother. Some of my earliest were when I used to beg her to scratch my back when I was a little boy. You see grandmothers have that soothing touch that seems to make everything better. I can’t count the many times when I fell asleep in her lap while listening to the preacher in the Andrews Church of God, third row from the back on the right side… there weren’t too many Sunday that you couldn’t find her there when I was younger. Also, I keep thinking about the many times when I was younger and I walked her across the field from my parents house to her back door to make sure she got in the house okay, and most importantly that she locked the doors behind herself. It wasn’t because I had too, it was because I wanted to and because I loved her just as everyone else gathered here today did and will continue to do. You see she never uttered an ugly or rude word to anyone that I know of. Instead if you were wrong, Granny could whip you with words, either her own, or quoted from the Bible. I think we all have talked to Granny on those late nights when she would make a cup of coffee and a biscuit, and listen...

...Travis Martin Martin 1 Ms. Virginia Rachel English Comp. 101 09/15/2015 The Hero in the Night What goes bump in the night? A question kids will forever eerily ask themselves as they lay down at night. The dark corner of the room, what's underneath of the bed or who or even what is lurking behind the closet door. There's just something unsettling about what we cant see. The minute the lights dim my mind begins to wonder about what could possibly be gleaming at me from its hiding spot, waiting for its chance to pounce on me like a defenseless animal on the plains of Africa. Overcoming your fears isn't always easy, but facing them head on is the only way to feel comfortable in a situation that once made you uncomfortable. This night was like every other. As the night draws to an end, mom and dad yell its time for bed. After years of sleeping with a night light, I start to feel brave. I mean what can honestly be so frightening, and also be afraid to shows its self in the dim glare of my little night light. After finishing my nightly routine, brushing the teeth and saying my prayers, I reach over and turn out my night light that I found so much comfort in. Laying in bed thinking of everything that I need to accomplish for the next day and practicing lines for the few girls that caught my attention I start to doze off. Tossing and turning throughout the night...

...has a social responsibility which can be defined as an organizations obligation to maximize its positive impact on stakeholders and minimize its negative impact. (Ferrell, 2009). Company Q’s attitude and actions towards the given circumstances and scenarios do not meet the definition of being socially responsible and are quite disappointing. When Company Q closed the doors of the two stores that were located in high crime rate areas what did they actually contribute to the community? Did they not research their target areas or were these situations where the dynamics of the neighborhood changed? What Company Q did do was help drive a spiraling neighborhood deeper into poverty, by closing their doors they have left a neighborhood with no local grocery store. The neighborhood has yet another vacant building that may or may not be used properly but may become something that will continue to help bring the neighborhood down. Company Q has now put working people out of a job who depended on that paycheck every week or other week who were trying to better their situations. Company Q states that these doors were closed due to profit loss it seems as though this is just an excuse to use as a tax write off or to just cut their losses. There are other ways that Company Q could have tried to keep the store open talk with community leaders, talk with the customers. Did they just not offer the products that their community desired? There has to be a reason that these two stores were...

...Observation Environment At the head start program Easter seals, I had the opportunity to observe a partial-day interaction with the 2 year old classroom. The room was decorated with numbers, letters and animal pictures. For safety measures they had appropriate age toys, the door handles where not reachable for the children to open the doors, children were always supervised they were two teachers in the room. This teacher encouraged each child to be the active partner in their learning process, and created a curriculum based on: each child’s individual needs, and interests with a balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities. “Circle Time” was the first activity I was able to observe. The teacher asked all of the children to clean up the toys with which they were playing. As she navigated the room, verbally assisting some students, I noticed some students had already gone to the carpet area and sat in “Circle“. There was however, one child who was having a hard time following directions, and would not clean up the Lego’s, he wanted to keep playing. After giving this child 3 warnings to clean up his toys, the instructor proceeded to sit on the floor adjacent to him. She then told him that he could keep his “creation”, on the shelf, and return to it when Circle Time was over but, that he needed to clean the rest of the Lego’s up and come to Circle with the rest of the class. Agreeing to this compromise, he put his creation away and the remaining Lego’s back into the...

The Buddhist blessing had to be done no later than 8:00 a.m. My aunt and uncle’s house was busy from the moment everyone got up. Families arrived to help finish prepping food and decorations for the party. You can hear everyone chattering, yelling, people walking up and down the stairs and in and out the doors. You could also hear knives hitting against the thick cutting board that’s being used to chop up meats. My cousin Mylee had nine bridesmaid because the number nine is considered lucky in the Thai culture. Every helped one another get ready and put on their traditional Thai outfits.

The carpet of the basement floor was covered with reddish brown linen. As the bride and groom made their way to the monks, they first lit up some incense, candles and gave the monks fruits and money that is sealed in an envelope because the monks could not handle money.

...ABSTRACT F.U Okoro’s keyhole theory of conflict assumes that “textual conflicts consist in series of locked doors and actions in the text comprises in attempts to unlock these doors”. Further, this theory of textual conflict recognizes the importance of what Aristotle has called the “depth burden of the past” however, it explains this concept in a slightly different way. The keyhole theory explains that the state of the key hole at the point of opening directly affects the state of the keyhole at the exit door. As explained by mr Fidelis himself, what we see as a comedy is just the manner of actions that sees to the opening of all the doors in a text, by contrast, a tragedy thrives because the hero meets difficulties and is ultimately unable to open the exit door both incidents are as a result of opening the first door with either the right or the wrong key. According to A.N. Akwanya, the theory is ‘a comprehensive statement which means that it must apply in the same way to a vast range of objects’. This can be further explained to mean that a theory must overlook he distinct properties of the individual object. This raises the question : can F.U Okoro’s keyhole theory of conflict qualify as a theory? Again, to what extent can it be able to apply in the same way to a vast range of literary text. A literary text here covers both prose narratives and plays. THE KEYHOLE THEORY AND DRAMA Now, without further ado, I will set about examining the extent of applicability of this...

...had promised to take us swimming within a half hour. She had repeatedly told us not to run in the house as well. But, of course, we did not listen. Due to this all too familiar childhood affliction this would ultimately result in a cancellation of the pool trip. As rambunctious boys are wont to do, a game of tag broke out. My cousin was “IT” and I was running at full speed through the house with my Aunt’s voice screeching at us to take it outside before someone got hurt. I made a right out of the kitchen and made for the full glass storm door to the front porch. I was screaming in delight with the thrill of the chase and unaware of fate’s plans for me. This would be within five seconds of when the two emotions mentioned before would merge. My head is turned toward my cousin behind me. I have my left arm fully extended toward the storm door to push it open. I have done this many times in my Grandma’s home. Her screen doors’ latch was broken so you only had to push on the frame to open it. Sadly, this ingrained habit will prove my undoing. Five….Four…..Three….My hand meets the...

...at the guard station. The outer perimeter contains the parking lot and office building. The perimeter has two light posts that, when functioning, illuminate the entire parking lot. Currently, the light post on the south side is not functioning. The office building exterior has three outer doors and one window. The first door is marked with an Employees Only sign and requires a badge for access. The second door is the main entrance for visitors and is manned by a guard, who requires a visitor’s pass for admittance. The third door is an emergency exit only and is clearly marked. Any attempt to gain access through the first door without a badge, the second door without a pass, or the third door at all, results in alarm activation and guard response. The window is locked from within; any attempt to gain access through the window also activates the alarm and alerts the guard. The interior of the office building is segmented into two major areas. The first area is the employee workstation; only employees can access this area. Visitor and employees can access the second area. Both the first and second areas are monitored by active video surveillance. The second area has two doors,...

...parents fall upon hard times when a new baby is in the family and the occasional lapse in insurance coverage can be disastrous to the pocketbook. Another thing that is worth mentioning is that we offered shot-free allergy testing in the office. This could be done before or after another appointment, making it easier for parents to combine appointments. With most parents working outside of the home, it was crucial for the owners of the practice to think about this, easing parents minds’ because they might have had to take the day off of work for an appointment. Another great addition to the practice was adding in walk-in hours for parents that had to work the typical 9-5 job, and could not take time off. During walk-in hours, we opened our doors from 5:00-7:00 pm. This allowed the typical 9-5 parent to make and come to appointments without leaving work. This was a huge success in the office. Suggestions During my employment at the pediatrics office, I...
