...Haley Wyrick Pam Smith ENGL 1301.102 10 Feb. 2014 Learn From Your Accidents One late Friday summer night, 6 years ago, there was a situation that made me sense as if my whole life flashed right before my eyes. I thought life for me was all over. As I was looking around screaming for help, I was terrified, in disbelief, filled with fear and shock. I used to be the kind of person who thought nothing could ever hurt me. In other words, you could say I was optimistic and too naive to be afraid of anything. However, during the time I had tears rolling down my face and feeling as if nobody could hear me. “Am I dying?” I thought to myself. At that very moment I made myself believe I would not ever be able to walk on the earth ever again. I myself had never felt so petrified in my life. “Oh do you remember those sweet, almost innocent choices that the Indian boys were forced to make?” (Alexie 144) You should always think before your actions. One night of “possible fun” could change your life forever. Your life can be taken abruptly. So you have to make your choices wisely. Consequently, my friends and I had made the decision to go to our first party this Friday night. We had been drinking all night long and decided to go race four-wheelers. Which led to a huge mistake, resulting the reason I was on the ground screaming for help! I had tumbled off a 10 foot cliff drop off, and the four-wheeler landed right on top of my body. With it slamming down and smashing my head to the ground...

...While the launch of (Spiderman 2) may appeal to a broad audience – this campaign will target Men aged 16 – 24. We will focus efforts in areas in urban and suburban markets where movie theaters exist. （介绍这是什么，why吸引）target Spiderman 2 is a specific type of movie – Action/Superhero – which are typically skewed to males. We have selected age 16-24 because they have seen the Spiderman movies, TV shows and comics. We also feel that there will be exposure to men outside of the target.

Afterschool he stays for baseball practice then goes home or to his friend’s house where they hang out or do homework. On weekends, Peter works at the local mall as a server for a hot dog vendor. Often he and his friends meet up at the mall during work breaks. Peter communicates with his friends via mobile and social networks. They often “snap” (snapchats) rather than carrying out a text or IM conversation. (daily life and behavior) The campaign will reach Peter his friends are in the evenings or on weekends via mobile/social and OOH. The use of social and OOH will be integrated. （讲各个media细节用）The OOH strategy would use larger than life units to “break thru” （提及关键词）and be impactful. While Peter was working today he watched as a giant Spiderman billboard was placed on the theater in the mall. It was difficult to miss and made it look like Spiderman...

...at his Wife’s ideas and thoughts, he never took what she had to say in a serious matter. It is clear by Jane’s statement that this is what what was expected in society during that time period. The authors views on feminism are shown through both the dialogue and thoughts of Jane. Jane’s need to express her thinking breaks through some social barriers during this time period, “I did write for a while in spite of them” (Gilman 3). Jane feels depressed when she is unable to express her thoughts through writing, as writing was the only way she felt free of those thoughts. She feels tired of hiding from her husband and society, but Jane also feels societies pressure to remain under the care of her husband. “He takes all care from me, and so I feel basely ungrateful not to value it more” (Gilman 4). Even though John has eliminated all control from Jane’s hands, making her feel like a prisoner, she feels societies pressure to worship him and agree with his way of thinking of being in complete control. When Jane had reached madness she took on control of her own thoughts, Johns leader role of a protective husband became reversed. John suddenly became much like a woman in his reaction when seeing Jane in her state of madness. “Now why should that man have fainted?”. (Gilman 19). After viewing his wife in a state of delirium, this caused him to faint. This is one of the stereotypes that are...

He tells Mary Jane the truth but asks her to wait at a friend’s house until later that night in order to give...

...expressing themselves through novels and other literary works, such as Mary Shelley, Jane Austen. The feminist novels have tested the central “I” of women and also have shaken up gender roles of men. The female writers focused on the moral and ideological issues arising out of daily life and basic human relationships, and they advocate for female equality during romantic period fought to obtain better rights for women. The images of women across genres can be varied as the authors themselves. Mary Wollstonecraft is the radical feminist who contributed to those debates and typically revolted against the social condition of women. In her work of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she believed in a push for growth in women and was disturbed by the lack of education. For most romantic feminists, their literary works focused on both the source of women’s inequality and its potential solution. The feminist novels in romantic era raised concerns about the ability of women to reject silence and express themselves. A feminist view from William Blake pointed out that female liberation some kind can make men free from the relationships based on power. Mary Shelley in her novel Frankenstein questioned prescribed social roles of women and illustrated the female oppression, and she reveals women as captive servants in the household. Similar with Shelley, Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice creates strong, spirited, independent, free-thinking female characters. Austen’s novels certainly laid out...

...ravaging tuberculosis (Weldon 37-39). Jane Austen, born 1775, in Hampshire, England, was removed from most of these challenges due to her wealth, but the constriction she felt and debasement she observed still disturbed her (Life v). Her entire life was channeled toward marriage, and her thoughts and opinions were seen as trivial and lesser because she was female. Austen found escape in literature, and channeled many of her life’s frustrations into her last novel, Persuasion. The novel became a place where she could immortalize herself and those close to her, live out...

...“Mary Jane Martin, CEO of Fox Meadow Assisted Living Facility, is concerned about the facility’s occupancy rate. At one time, the facility enjoyed a dominant position in the area, but its occupancy rate has declined from 90 percent to 70 percent in three years. This erosion is at the hands of other local competitors. Their key market is the baby boomers. The baby boomers are those individuals born during the post–World War II euphoria of 1946 to 1964. The aging of this group has created numerous opportunities for assisted living marketers. The segment numbers almost 80 million Americans and accounts for close to 30 percent of the US population. Mary Jane has directed Tomas Rodriguez, her marketing director, to institute a promotional campaign directed specifically toward this segment. Tomas’s advertising objective was to increase requests for information about the facility by 30 percent in three months by using meaningful, believable, and distinctive print advertisements. The execution style for the message was to take a “slice of life” approach. With a promotional print budget of $8,000, Tomas ran a half-page ad in the local weekly free newspaper in four communities surrounding the facility. The ad provided contact information about the facility and pictured a 75-year-old grandmother type sitting in a comfortable rocking chair, doing needlepoint in front of a wood-burning fireplace. The caption read, “Rest and relax, your time has come!” Following multiple iterations...

...store business retail strategy. The lady smiled and told me she could answer my questions. I was impressed by her kindness of taking me to her back office to take a few minutes of her time to answer my questions. This interview gave me insight of the company history, strategy, and many more relevant factors that attribute to company becoming world's top fashion retailers. A. History of the Company As I mention earlier I interviewed Bebe store manager: Jane Altholz to learn about the company history and business strategies. In our discussion I was intrigued to learn Manny Mashouf founded Bebe in the early 1970’s. Mr. Mashouf opened his first Bebe store in San Francisco, stated by Jane. They have been in business for 43 years and still going strong. The reason Bebe is becoming top leading retail store is because they know which lines of clothing to pursue, and offer a distinctive Bebe logo, provide excellent client service, identify the next leading fashion trend, and understand their client needs, stated by Jane. Since Jane is new working at the retail store she directed me to go their website to learn more about the history. Which I learned according to Reference for Business website, Bebe strategy has changed...

...Unit 2 Assignment Mary Washington The stakeholders are Brad, Eddie, Jane (whoever she takes care of), other employees and Greg. Brad is the owner so his interest is a profit and that his business is ran efficiently. Eddie is the general manger his interest is to one keep his job and to help his brother. Greg is the one receiving the extra money so that’s basically his interest. Jane is the one who can lose her job which means she can’t take care of herself and her family. Employment-at-will is a legal rule that developed in the nineteenth century, giving employer’s unfettered power to “dismiss their employees at will for good cause, for no cause, or even for cause morally wrong, without being thereby guilty of a legal wrong.”1 The economic philosophy of laissez-faire provided theoretical support for employment-at-will. Its legal underpinnings consisted mainly of “freedom of contract,” the idea that individuals are free to choose how to dispose of what they own, including their labor, as they see fit, and that the voluntary contractual promises they make are legitimately enforceable. (Halbert & Ingulli, 2015) federal civil rights laws created remedies against employers who fire workers because of their race, national origin, color, religion, sex, age, or disability.4 In the 1970s and 1980s, federal and state statutes included protection from retaliation for employees who report violations of environmental or workplace safety laws, for example.

...During the Wars of Roses, a European royal house of Welsh origins rose to power, a dynasty, which rules England for the next one-hundred and eighteen years. The powerful and most well known dynasty is the House of Tudor. Henry VII became king in 1485 and took Elizabeth of York as his wife.They had four children Prince Arthur of Wales, Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII, and Mary Tudor. Henry VIII was born June 28, 1491 at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich. Being the second born son Henry was raised and educated to take a secular role in life, most likely as the Archbishop of Canterbury. His grandmother Margaret Beaufort supervised his early childhood education. Henry was reported to excel at book learning as well as athletics required by those apart of the aristocratic society. But even as well educated, handsome, and athletic as Henry was his father continued to favor the elder Prince Arthur. When Henry had reach the age of 10 he took part in his brothers arranged wedding to the daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. His job was to escort the bride; the bride was Catherine of Aragon who was later to be Henry VIII first wife. Shortly after the marriage, Arthur died on April 2, 1502 from night-sweats. This left Henry the rightful heir to the English throne right before his 11th birthday. Fourteen months after Arthur’s death, Catherine of Aragon was betrothal to Henry VIII, and then he was too young to marry. As Henry VIII grew up his father became less willing to...

...Although, according to the Thomas Jefferson article on Wikipedia, “His routine was often interrupted by uninvited visitors and tourists eager to see the icon in his final days.” Therefore, Jefferson wasn’t not allowed the privacy he requested. As for what he did in his spare time, Jefferson sold all of his many books to the Library of Congress and built the University of Virginia. Jefferson wanted to have a university that was free of church influences, which allowed students to be able to specialize in many new areas. Thomas Jefferson passed away on July 4, 1826 hours before John Adams passed. He was ill prior to his death but the exact cause was never quite determined. As stated in the article Thomas Jefferson-Legacy, “Jefferson eloquently espoused the central role of the United States and the Declaration of Independence as signals of the blessings of self-government to the world.” Meaning that Thomas Jefferson’s ability to embrace the United States and Declaration of Independence made the country more...

...depression and had a history of mental illness which is the reason the story reads so convincingly. The author’s views on feminism and women’s roles in society in her own life and setting also come into play repeatedly throughout the story in the interactions with the main character. Imagine a sprawling colonial mansion surrounded by lush gardens, filled with airy rooms and rich furniture is what you find yourself calling home. Jane’s loving husband, John, takes care of all the finances, there is a nanny, Mary, to take care of your child, and your precious sister-in-law, Jennie, to keep the house in order fills the mansion with life.

She loves her husband desperately despite the fact that he oppresses her and restricts her actions. Jane is not allowed to become imaginative or exert herself in any manner and must follow his guidelines to a tee despite the fact that she thinks his suggestions are not...

...Freud’s Id, Ego, and Superego Personified in Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre follows the story of Jane, an orphan, as she develops from a young girl to a young woman of marriageable age. While there are many other characters in the novel, the most developed ones are Jane and the two men that propose marriage to her: Edward Rochester and St. John Rivers. Almost a century after Bronte published her novel, Freud theorized that the psyche developed into three different parts: the id, the ego, and the superego. Jane Eyre’s three main characters personify these parts of the human psyche: Rochester represents the id, St. John the superego, and Jane the ego. Edward Rochester, Jane’s employer and the master of Thornfield, exemplifies Freud’s id. The id, as interpreted by Saul McLeod, is the part of the psyche that is the most basic, unconscious, instinctual part; it begins at birth and demands immediate satisfaction, it is also contains the libido. It acts according to the “pleasure principle” and seeks only self-gratification and pain avoidance (McLeod). Mr. Rochester, wealthy and with few responsibilities, is left free to spend his time pursuing pleasure, traveling Europe, and having an affair with the French singer and dancer Celine Varens. He is not bothered by society’s morals when he tries to marry Jane, even though it would make him a bigamist because he is already married to the woman hidden in his attic. The marriage to Jane also flaunts society’s norm of class separation...
