...Flour on your grave by Bruce Pascoe The human kind has always been afraid of the unknown, the unknown have always been dangerous, and we have always been keeping an eye out for everything new and strange. In “Flour on your grave” Bruce Pascoe puts focus on the consequences of the unknown and what happens in the worst case. “Flour on your grave” by Bruce Pascoe is about a group of farmers at a lake in Australia. Some aboriginals have made a camp next to the lake and because of the lack of knowledge about the aboriginals some of the farmers get scared of the aboriginals because they hear about an earlier story where a group of aboriginals killed a family in Glenaladale. Although some of the farmers tells the rest of them that the aboriginals is not dangerous a group of the farmers end up killing the most of the aboriginals, but some of the aboriginals survives because they were not in the camp when then ate the food with the poisoned flour, and they take revenge by killing Mrs. McKenzie and her baby. The story is chronological organized without flash-backs or flash-forwards which mean the story is told in a straight line. The narrator is omniscient with a third person point of view, which gives the author the possibility to tell us about the feelings, thoughts and background of the persons in the story. This is seen on page 94 lines 67-68 where Mrs. McKenzie remembers the painting from the Sydney gallery. The title “Flour on your grave” is chosen because of the way the...

...Organ donation 1. Write a summary of “I am donating my kidney to a stranger” (text 3) in about 150 words. The text main character is Paula MacKinnon and lives in Scotland. The text is about MacKinnon and how she had donated a kidney to a stranger, which is called altruistic. Her parents and her friends think that she is being foolish and they are worried about her. She knows that it is just because they care about her and that’s why they are trying to talk her out of it. The only person who is fine with all of this is her husband Colin. After all she is still donating her kidney to a stranger. It all began last year when her mother, Katherine 68-year-old, suffered from kidney failure. MacKinnon wants to donate her kidney but their bloods group was not compatible. So then Mackinnon realised when she could not do it for her mother then she could just as well give her kidney to another who needs it more than her. But even if she is a caring person and will give her kidney to a stranger, she will only do if its not doing any harm to herself. But this operation has minimal risks. 2. Give an outline of the various attitudes to organ donation in text 1, 2 and 3. In Denis Campbell´s article, Campbell focuses on the desperate need of a new organ donation system in Britain. People are dying because of the shortage. Campbell also thinks that UK should adopt the “Presumed consent” system, which always exists in many European countries. Robert D. Truog outlines the ethical...

... about one-third of our lives asleep. Nonetheless, people generally know little about the importance of this essential activity. Sleep is not just something to fill time when a person is inactive. Sleep is a required activity, not an option. Even though the precise functions of sleep remain a mystery, sleep is important for normal motor and cognitive function. We all recognize and feel the need to sleep. After sleeping, we recognize changes that have occurred, as we feel rested and more alert. Sleep actually appears to be required for survival. Importance of the Study Sleep can even enhance your memory. Those who regularly sleep well have better memory function than those who don’t meet the required number of hours for sleep. This means learning is also affected by sleep patterns. Proper amounts of sleep keep your mind and body alert and it preps them to receive and learn new information. Sleeping is therefore very important for children, especially students. So those pulling all nighters to study or to finish their homework will have more difficulty in absorbing information and will not be as focused and attentive the next day. Lack of sleep...

...Agbas 1 A year after revolution swept off her throne , Marie Antoinette stood on trial for her life , accused of crimes against French Republic . She was nearing 38 , but she appeared far older than her years , as there barely remained a trace of the lovely , carefree Austrian princess , who became a French Queen , while she was still a teenager . It was a long journey for a frivolous woman , who was a terrible ruler , but changed in spite of herself , showing an outstanding courage and dignity through deeply personal tragedy … Marie Antoinette was born to a life of unimaginable wealth and unquestioned privilege . Austria was a great empire spread over central Europe and her mother was its ruler. The Empress always behaved towards her daughter more like a head of state than an affectionate mother . As she once said about her own children : - “ They are born to obey ! “ . When she wanted to build an alliance with France , Austria ‘s centuries old rival , she commanded Marie Antoinette to marry the heir to the French throne , Louis the 16 th .

Kentucky Subcultures It takes a great deal of patience and understanding to be a teacher in a culturally mixed environment. The educational environment that I plan to teach in consists of cultures made up of Asians and Hispanics. I wish to better understand these two cultures so that I can understand the differences and provide a teaching environment that will be valuable in my classroom. In order to accomplish this, I have researched the foods, traditions and celebrations of two Kentucky subcultures, which are Asians and Hispanics. In the state of Kentucky, according to the U.S. Census Bureau 2011, Hispanics make up 138,563 of the total population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2011, Asians make up 52,201 of the total population. (U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 a) E.

I declare that this assignment is my own original work and represents my intellectual property. It does not contain the work of others without appropriate reference being made. Essay Question ‘Critically discuss the meaning of international social work and social development and demonstrate your understanding of the integrated perspectives approach by analysing and applying to an issue such as local level development, poverty, post conflict reconstructions, forced displacement.’ International social work seems to mean different things to different people in different communities, across the globe. Even the term ‘social work’ is often hard to pin down in the Western tradition. The first ‘constant’ seems to be the history of the development of social work in Britain after the Industrial Revolution and then across the western world predominantly in the United States. Second, social work as a profession arose as the result of the issues thrown up by the Industrial Revolution, such as mass movements away from rural based living, agricultural jobs reduced, with massive technological innovations commencing as far back as the development of the steam engine. Third, social work as a profession is united by its values which are social justice and a need to...

...Introduction The number of American people who are obese has increased over the years. This complex condition has affected almost all ages with children obesity being on the rise. Obesity can be linked to the onset of some diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and some heart diseases that have increased the risk of death and reduction of an individual’s health. The answers that we seek are concerned with sugars’ role in the development of obesity and the emergence of related diseases. It is important to consider an individual’s genes when determining vulnerability to obesity but what doctors mostly emphasize is on food intake. As the socioeconomic levels of most Americans rise, diets are increasingly having a higher proportion of sugars while work is shifting into a less physical nature. The high proportion of sugars in the American diet has a direct relationship to obesity and other related illnesses. Is sugar related to obesity and medical disorders associated in the American society? In order to become fully aware of the link between sugars and diabetes, we have to look at the features and nature of sugar. Sugar is a generalized name for a crystalline carbohydrate that is simple, edible and has a sweet flavor. The main types of sugar are sucrose, lactose, fructose and glucose. Glucose, also referred to as blood sugar is the one that circulates in the blood. Table sugar and fruits contain sucrose and fructose respectively. During the process of digestion, carbohydrates...

...CHAPTER 2 FACTORS AFFECTING FOODWAYS AND CULINARY PRACTICES INTRODUCTION Food culture is multi-faceted, influenced by a number of factors, of which the main ones are presented and briefly explained in this chapter. Examples are given for better understanding and appreciation of how a factor could affect the foodways of a population group or area. One factor may have more impact on bringing about changes than other factors. Each has varying degrees and extent of influences that makes cultural foods around the world interesting and challenging to the readers and culinary afficionados. Geographical Location The geographical location of a country determines the kind of climate it has throughout the year. Also, its neighboring countries and bodies of water (ocean or sea) influence the available food added to foods inherent in its culture. An example is the African continent: North African nations with coastal lines of the Mediterranean Sea have common foodways with Greeks, Italians and other nations that also get food sources from this sea. Another example is about countries in the tropical belt, having fruits that cannot grow in wintry areas of the world. Thus, what are exotic to the non-tropical countries are common and cheap in tropical countries. Conversely, grapes, berries, and different varieties of apples imported to the tropical countries are expensive. While climate is one of the factors in the study of geography, its impact on cultural foods is very significant...

...Search Enoch Arden by Lord Alfred Tennyson Published 1864 Long lines of cliff breaking have left a chasm; And in the chasm are foam and yellow sands; Beyond, red roofs about a narrow wharf In cluster; then a moulder'd church; and higher A long street climbs to one tall-tower'd mill; And high in heaven behind it a gray down With Danish barrows; and a hazelwood, By autumn nutters haunted, flourishes Green in a cuplike hollow of the down. Here on this beach a hundred years ago, Three children of three houses, Annie Lee, The prettiest little damsel in the port, And Philip Ray the miller's only son, And Enoch Arden, a rough sailor's lad Made orphan by a winter shipwreck, play'd Among the waste and lumber of the shore, Hard coils of cordage, swarthy fishing-nets, Anchors of rusty fluke, and boats updrawn, And built their castles of dissolving sand To watch them overflow'd, or following up And flying the white breaker, daily left The little footprint daily wash'd away. A narrow cave ran in beneath the cliff: In this the children play'd at keeping house. Enoch was host one day, Philip the next, While Annie still was mistress; but at times Enoch would hold possession for a week: `This is my house and this my little wife.' `Mine too' said Philip `turn and turn about:' When, if they quarrell'd, Enoch stronger-made Was master: then would Philip, his blue eyes All flooded with the helpless wrath of tears, Shriek out `I hate you...
