...The definition of a father figure according to Merriam-Webster is “A person often of particular power or influence who serves as an emotional substitute for a father.” Almost everybody has a father or somebody that they look up to and go to when they need him. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jim, the slave of Miss Watson, and Pap, Huck’s biological father, both played that part in Huck’s life at some point. They had many differences from each other, but they also had some similarities. First of all, Jim and Pap had some similarities rather than the fact that they were both a father figure in Huck’s life. First of all, both of these men would be considered outcasts or rejected. Jim is black and is a slave so obviously he is not very respected and before anybody can even get to know him, they stereotype him. He was also uneducated and gullible. In the book, Jim was very scared because he thought that he lost Huck in the fog on the river and Huck pulled a prank on him saying that there was never any fog and Huck was always by him and it never happened and Jim bought it. Pap on the other hand was considered an outcast because of the lack of education he had, and how he always got drunk. He always beat his son and never had anything going for him. He was also very racist and always complained about how black people should not be able to vote. A bigger similarity is that Huck was not safe with either one when he was with them. Jim would never hurt him, but since he was a...

...Fatherly Figures It is a privilege to have an earthly father figure because everyone is not fortunate to have one. Although, we must not forget that we always have a heavenly father figure. James Baldwin’s Go Tell It On The Mountain thoroughly educates both black and white communities on the significance of fatherly figures in the black community. Gabriel Grimes served as John and Roy’s earthly fatherly figure. He also aimed to show John and his siblings that their heavenly father figure can do much more than their earthly father. There are many forms of symbolism and figurative language throughout this novel that measures the roles God and Gabriel portrayed. As we identify Gabriel’s style of character, associate his character with Baldwin’s other works, and discuss conflicts he encountered with John we will better uncover Gabriel’s character. Gabriel Grimes was the head deacon and a preacher at Temple of the Fire Baptized. The name of the church presents an image to the readers that Gabriel, who was a troubled child, was “made new” when he began his leadership in the church. The “fire” represents Gabriel’s wild and sinful youth and “baptized” portrays him being born again to later purse preaching. Another form of analogy found in Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time also uses fire as unmoral behavior. “Everything inflamed me, and that was bad enough, but I myself had also become a source of fire and temptation.” (25) After reading this text, I...

...Marc Andres July 19, 2012 Professor James Winter Customer Relations The first I would do with handling the customer is try to figure out what the real problem is and try to have a good attitude about the whole situation. Going with having a god attitude towards the customer, I would try to remind the customer of making sure they have the right information of the parts they needed. I would also make sure that the customer has a straight answer on what we did as a company to make them feel the way that they did. After figuring out the problem, I would get the customer to make them feel like they are really being helped and make them feel secure about the situation. I would be sincere and call them by their name and giving them a lot of eye contact. I would never interrupt the customer and since they have been a frequent customer they should already know what is expected from the company. Since the production has been declining, I would make sure every aspect of the company is at its best and saying this I would take the role of the CFO. I would take role of the CFO because we need to take of this problem right away. Even though it might have or not been our problem, we as a company should want to keep production right and make sure everything is going well. I feel as though that if we don’t think about this problem now then we are going to keep losing customers and were going to have a lot of bad things that will happen to the company. As the CFO, Jennifer Garland, said we...

...in the interested in the characters, shapes, and lines of these images. He focused on how the lines could represent the movement and give the abstracted image a more natural quality. This development is what helped him eventually develop his own library of iconography. The personal iconography would lead Haring to build an artistic language by which he could communicate messages of political, social, or even sexual nature to his viewers. Using iconography, he sends messages about life, death, rebirth, social justice, sexuality, consequences, guilt, and dread. In his work, Haring often used familiar figures repeatedly to depict various acts in different ways. One example of such a figure is the body. Haring draws the shape and form of the body as well as the motion and actions that the body can produce. He demonstrates the movement of the body and in some cases just focuses on certain parts. In some of his works, he obsessively draws the male penis. He uses lines to represent motion or action that is happening within the painting. There are also other common pictures in his work, such as dogs, pigs, dolphins, and spaceships. Haring sometimes uses color to send a political message about the work that depicts the oppression of black man or the concept of death associated ...

...mission-related control of the organization. Additionally, it seems that a great deal of donative income is “left on the table.” The organization has apparently expended far too little effort searching for small to midsize donations. I believe that a great deal of untapped development potential is waiting to be realized. BBYO is an 85 year old Jewish Youth Movement that has an alumni base of over 35,000 individuals. When one considers that this number does not reflect the parents of alumni, one can only conclude that this very large donor base has mainly gone untapped. It would be interesting to compare the percentage of revenues solicited from major donors to revenue percentages of other youth groups, both Jewish and non-Jewish. While such figures are not presented in this study, I believe it is fair to conclude that the donative revenue structure of BBYO is far too heavily weighted towards major donors. In fact, the graphic representation of the Donor Period on the preceding page...

...painting presents problems for the viewer as they are forced to question the morality of the scene, whether to consider the nude, naked in a public place and exhibited to the public or if they are an active partner. Even though the intended reaction to the picture is unclear, the presence of the nude controls the viewer's emotional response. The presentation of the figures in soft focus and broadly painted landscape promoted severe criticism. Also, the loose manner of painting contradicts the crisp forms with the bright clothes and food in the left corner. In the main figures, there are only a few lights and darks, which makes them distinctive from the background. On the contrary, the painting of Titian's Pastoral Symphony, both mysterious in meaning and authorship, has been known as one of the most influential paintings of the nineteenth century. The main figures are two men who are seated on the grass against a vast countryside setting. Titian had been interested on landscapes in his early career, and later on reduced the amount of visual landscape. The theme is as enigmatic as the lighting, as the figures are modulated by the smoky shadow. In the setting here, the man on the left is dressed in red clothing worn by nobles of the period and is playing a lute, while the man on the right wears a brown costume which is typical of peasantry. The men turned towards each other seem oblivious to...

...informs Brenda that the vendor of the new registers will give some training materials and train the company’s trainer. She then states, “We need to determine the best way to train the cashiers in the three stores, the management team in each store and the computer support specialists.” This makes is confusing to understand who is suppose to be doing the training in the store. It leaves questions as to why the vendor id training someone if it is then up to the stores to find a way to train the employees. The clarity also comes into question when Yvonne says to, “have someone evaluate the various means we could use to deliver the training and make a recommendation of how we should proceed.” This leaves Brenda to try to figure out where to look for someone and to figure out when exactly the training is suppose to happen. The tone and style are on the casual style for a business memo. The whole thing is typed in one paragraph that is not as informative as it should be. The whole memo seems to be very casual and almost rushed. Yvonne should have taken her time to gather up some more information to more clearly state what is going to happen or what needs to happen. I would have informed Brenda of the dates that the new registers were coming, instead of saying in six weeks. I would have figured out the training schedule and when and where it...

...Short Essay July 11, 2011 A Maprik Standing Male Figure The Maprik Standing Male Figure dates back to the 20th century, he stands 51 inches tall and 8 inches wide, and is made of wood. The figure is painted two colors, a reddish color and white; the parts not painted you see the wood. The figure has a diamond shaped head is painted with a white zigzag, Christmas tree looking symbol on the forehead. The face of the male figure is painted white around its eyes an don its cheeks. The figure has almond shaped eyes is smiling. Continuing down to its body, there are holes in the wood where the figures shoulders are and surrounding the circles and to the end of its arms is painted white. This is equal on both sides of the body. The center of the figure is painted white, and narrows down to thin stick like legs inside the figures full body. In the center of the stomach of the male figure is a v-shaped tribal sign. The entire figure is painted red except where it is painted white, and the bottom of its legs and the flat area between his legs. The figure is proportionate in size, and seems to be pictured nude with only paint on him. I believe the figure was used for a specific tribe. I believe it is used in a ritual tribe giving strength to a person and initiating them into the tribe. I think this because of the mark on their stomach seems to be one of like a scar and I believe it’s for strength also because of the holes where the shoulders are. I consider that these holes are...

...would work for her situation. The main problems we will face is the fact that she will need to become accustom to the whole process of creating a presentation that will include all the items she would like. My way to get over this issue would be to briefly read over with her the basic guidelines and instructions for creating a PowerPoint presentation, such as how to select a theme, insert data and pictures and anything else I feel she would need to know. I would try to avoid overloading her with anything I think she may not need to deal with at the time. If I have further trouble understanding any issues she has I would suggest that we try to start from the beginning and try to take her through the process step by step and from there figure out the best process for her to create this project. Once we figured out what she wants then I would go back to trying to take her through the basic process of creating a presentation, advising her how to create a slide, edit slides, and how to add in pictures and video’s as well as graphs for her statistics. If we had further issues with her understanding my instructions then I would recommend to the customer to review any online how-to steps for creating a presentation. There are many forms of help available for the customer to review and look at which is sometimes much easier than having someone tell you over the...

...to write my essay on figures 3-6 with 3-8, and figures 3-22 with 3-21. I chose these sculptures to write about because they’re obviously similar, but in complete different ways. First, both of these pictures are sculptures. they are both incredible architecture pieces. One of the first things that I have noticed, was both of the pieces were Egyptian. Also, they had something to deal with pyramids and the temple. Most importantly, all of the sculptures mean something. In the figures -6 and 3-8, they were Khafre. Giza was the valley temple. In figures 3-22 and 3-21, it was an overall temple. Along with that, it was Hatshepsut himself. All of these figures relate, and differ. All of these figures are similar. They both resemble power for a reigion. As observing, the figures 3-6 relate because they are both figures of Khafre, and figures 3-22 and 3-21, it was Hatshepsut and the temple. It is important to relate them because they were both powerful symbols. Along with that, the temple that they were in which protected them, truly shows the power that they have. In the sculptures of Khafre, the symbols (which was the lion) represented a powerful sense of horizon connected with the sun. (khanacadamey) That was very important because all of the Egyptians worshiped him. As many know, Egyptians are known for truly respecting their cultures. They’re very religious and faithful. They respect their higher power. That goes along with figure 3-6. Featured in that figure, is that temple. The...

I know when I worked in Long Term Care when people would call in at the last minute that generally meant that we were running short staffed. The residents didn’t like it and neither did I. Not only does turnover rates and absenteeism affect the company it also effects the residents/consumers as well. My choices were well received by Brain Newman in the simulation. Some of the question I had to really think about the best answers and I got a few wrong. It really made me think about making the best choices when there were several good answers. I liked being able to learn the equations to figure out turnover rates. I always had wondered how there were figured out. Also figuring out the best options to help out the company was good. It made me feel helpful to them. What I learned from this was is you really should listen to your employees for ideas as well as your HR learning team. If your employees aren’t happy it creates a hostile environment for all, even consumers. I know one salesman in the simulations said that he...

...checklist of advice would include: • use “do not” instead of “don’t” • write in the third person, ie avoid using personal pronouns. For example, “Research shows that...” rather than “I think that...”. Descriptions should be quantified and/or relative to a comparable benchmark. For example: • Instead of saying “there was a massive increase in young people’s drinking” you would phrase it as “young people’s drinking increased by X% over the period (include citation of where your evidence came from)”. Tables and figures in themselves do nothing to enhance an argument unless they are clear AND explained AND interpreted by you for the reader. When inserting a table or figure into your work it is good practice to give each a number (eg Figure 1, Table 1, Exhibit 1) and title (the title should describe what the table or figure or exhibit is presenting), and to refer to the table or figure number explicitly in the text. Place the table or figure as near to the paragraph where you have discussed...
