...Everyman by anonymous The time of death is uncertain for everyman. An anonymous author in the late fifteenth century wrote this morality play that shows how a single character handles the news of his death and how he prepares for it. The main character referred to as “Everyman” is visited by death. God is grieved by the unrighteousness of man so he sends death to send Everyman on a pilgrimage (Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011). Everyman is also required to bring with him a reckoning of his days on earth. In the play, Everyman expresses that he needs more time to gather up his things and organize his book of reckoning but death informs Everyman that there is no second chance (Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011). Everyman calls on his goods to go with him on the journey to death and Goods rejects the offer because he belongs in the world and no one truly owns goods. Everyman is distraught by the news and searches for other people and things to go accompany him to his death. Fellowship, cousin, kinsmen sympathize with everyman on his demise but they are unable to go on such a dreadful journey. Everyman turns to his good deeds to accompany him on this journey but good deeds is weak because Everyman did not do many good works in his life time. Everyman was more focused on his material things rather than taking care of others (Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011 p 277). Good deeds refers everyman to knowledge because knowledge can lead everyman to a place of forgiveness. Through forgiveness and confession, Everyman...

Bowling for columbine was made in 2002 and this was an American documentary that was made by Michel Moore.

...AB-socio economic group. This is where most of the customers to local theatres can be found and it have resulted in customers being more aware of its spending. Furthermore, customers might choose a competitive product such as a cinema ticket instead due a lower price. As a result of the increased unemployment in the UK, as well as the decreased disposable income consumers may defer trips to the theatre regarding the difficult economic climate. The reluctance to spend money on theatre tickets increases the risk posed by substitutes to the theatre of Winchester. Possible substitutes are: west end theatres, cinemas, TV shows, new technology and big events. Additional, there are several other theatres in UK, which can offer the same actors and plays as Theatre of Winchester, in a similar size and setting. Hence, the competition of attracting customers is high since the attendance is low because of decreased spending on performing arts. However, the theatre of Winchester has lower ticket prices compared to its competitors. Offering tickets for average £13 and some shows are even free, they are undercutting many competitors by as much as 20-30 pounds. Offering...

...THE GLENCOE LITERATURE LIBRARY Study Guide for Great Expectations by Charles Dickens i Meet Charles Dickens In addition to writing short stories and novels, Dickens wrote essays and journalistic pieces, and edited a weekly periodical filled with fiction, poetry, and essays. First titled Household Words, the magazine was later retitled All the Year Round. Dickens contributed to this publication several serialized novels, including Great Expectations, and writings on political and social issues. Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He was the second child and eldest son of eight children. Dickens’s father, who worked as a clerk in the Navy Pay Office, was a spendthrift who often mismanaged the family money. In 1822 the family moved to London and soon found itself in financial crisis. The family was forced to live in poverty, and Dickens was no longer able to go to school. One of the most traumatic periods of his life began in February 1824, when his father was sent to debtors prison. Young Dickens, only twelve years old, was forced to go to work for several months pasting labels on bottles. This experience was painful and socially humiliating to him, and images of the factory haunted him for the rest of his life. These images provided a backdrop to much of his fiction, which often focused on class issues; the plight of the poor and oppressed; and lost, suffering children. As an adult, he championed social and political causes designed...
