...wild. FADE TO BLACK. INT. SARAH’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT SARAH HENSON, 18, tosses aside some brown wrapping paper and a red ribbon as she sits cross-legged on the white carpeted floor, leaning back against the bottom portion of a brown leather sofa. She holds the PAINTING of the eye. SARAH Oh my god. Chris- It’s wonderful! Her brown bangs fall across her face, hiding her left eye. She sweeps them away to continue inspecting the painting. CHRIS TAYLOR, 18, is lying on the floor across from her, stretched out on his side. His brown hoody has specks and smears of dried paint on it. So do his black jeans. One knee is shredded, and the other is just beginning to follow suit. CHRIS Well, it is yours. The eye, I mean. Sarah smiles to herself as she gazes at the painting. SARAH It’s a bit weird though isn’t it? I mean, my eye hanging on a wall somewhere, staring at me forev- CHRIS I never said you had to keep it. Sarah looks up at him, her mouth cracked in surprise, and her slim eyebrows raised. He avoids her glance by plucking at the stray white carpet fibers and then smoothing them back down. SARAH What? CHRIS I dunno. You just haven’t been all that into my stuff for a while. For a split second, Sarah looks guilty. Chris doesn’t notice. Then she narrows her eyes at him and smiles. SARAH C’mon you. Sarah jumps up with the painting. Chris gets up and follows. INT. SARAH’S KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS Sarah walks over the black-and-white tile floor towards a small...

...“Be it unto me as you have said.” And, with those words Christmas came to the world. Let’s not underestimate what it cost Mary to say that! Soon there would be no way for Mary to hide the fact that she was with child. What would people think? What would they say? What sort of whispering would go on behind her back? What sort of scornful looks would she have to endure? How would Joseph respond to her when he finds out that she is with child, especially since in that time when she would face death by stoning. Mary knewthat saying ‘Yes’ to God meant misunderstanding and public shame. Yet, she submitted herself to the Lord. She chose to trust God to work out the details surrounding the birth of His Son, whereas a lesser girl would have run away from town. Regardless of the consequences, she said, “May it be to me as you have said.”Without exaggeration, we...

...accuse for being the witch responsible for possessing the children. Then, late in February of 1692, Parris’ neighbor, Mary Sibley recommended that Parris’ slaves, Tituba and John Indian, should work a spell to try to find the culprits. Even after trying this solution the girls’ condition worsened, and the people responsible still had not been found. The girls began to see hazy shadows and believed that these shadows were of the people who had done this to them. After more and more children became victims of this, the hunting for the witches who were to blame for the girls’ sickness began to get more serious. By the end of February 1692, not one, but three witches had been named. These women were Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba, all residents of Salem Village. Sarah...

Jubilee scowled ahead watching the other students file out of the room, “No time like the present,” she said. ……… Sarah looked over her shoulder, Reyes and Emma talking… A lot. Like almost sense she came off stage. Why did this make her feel sick? Not morning sickness sick, just worried sick. She turned around and mechanically began following her classmates out when Sean who was at the head of the group stopped and craned his head around in Emma’s direction. The queasy sensation doubled and for a second she wondered if she was just imagining beginning to sweat or if that was really happening. His expression was neutral, so maybe this had nothing to do with her. They were all teachers, teachers talk to one another, she tried to reason. He was talking in his normal voice to the class, giving instructions to go to the danger room and wait for an instructor, ok totally normal. Then he called...

...speaking abilities. This is no longer limited to teachers in certain schools or areas of the country. All educators must be aware of how students learn a second language and become fluent. We cannot assume nor have unrealistic expectations about each individual student’s progress, while also maintaining an active schedule of learning. The first step in helping our ELL students become second language fluent is to get familiar with the journey of an ELL. Mrs. Sarah Marino is a physics teacher at Orchard High School. The daughter of Cuban immigrants; Sarah’s first language was Spanish, rather than English. Get to know Sarah Marino and her struggle to become Fluent English Proficient-FEP. Sarah Marino Interview March 20, 2012 1. At what age did you begin acquiring a second language? My family moved to the United States when I was 10 years old and I didn’t attend school for the first year. So I began acquiring my second language-English at 11 years old. 2. What was the biggest challenge? I didn’t know anything! It was completely foreign to me. We were so poor that I hadn’t seen any English speaking movies or anything. It was frustrating because I had no memory to tap into. As an 8 year old, you are only comfortable failing so many times before you shut down. I was my own worst enemy. 3. What learning strategies did you use? In all honesty, conversation was the best strategy for me. My first speech teacher tried the flashcards, the worksheets, and...

...Sarah Brown Mr. Lopez English III 22 May 2015 T4 Ella Wheeler Wilcox In the poems Solitude and It might have been by Ella Wheeler Wilcox there are strong comparisons that can be made between the two by using both the style used in each poem and the substance. The poems are almost complete opposites, yet are very similar, Solitude is about being alone in the world or feeling isolated, while It might have been is meant to be empowering because the author encourages the readers to not regret anything or to not let chances slip by. Ella Wheeler Wilcox was born November 5, 1850 in Johnstown, Wisconsin. She began writing poetry at a very young age and was a recognized poet before she had even graduated high school. She was constantly compared to Walt Whitman because of their way of writing; her poetry was sentimental and romantic. Something that set them apart though was their form; Ella Wheeler Wilcox maintained a very traditional form unlike Walt Whitman. Her most famous work was the Poems of Passion. She married Robert Wilcox in 1884. Soon after her husband’s passing in 1916, Ella passed away due to cancer on October 30, 1919. Her autobiography, The Worlds and I, was published in 1918, a year before her death. The poem Solitude talks about being isolated from the world when you are feeling down and enjoying everything around you when you are feeling happy. Laugh and the world laughs with you; / Weep and you weep alone (Solitude. Lines 1 and...

...Matt Stone made “The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs. Frosty” (1992). In this short video clip, the boys already looked a lot like the characters they would create to make South Park, the one difference being that Cartman was called Kenny at that time and Kenny had no name. When Brian Graden, Fox network executive, saw this clip, he commissioned Parker and Stone to make a second one as an animated Christmas Card. This time it was called “The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs. Santa Claus” (1995) in which Jesus and Santa Claus fight over the meaning of Christmas. This animated short was widespread throughout Hollywood and the internet and became such a success that the duo was offered the possibility of developing it into a series. Given that Fox did not want to distribute it because of the presence of Mr. Hankey, a talking piece of feces, Comedy Central picked up the offer. The very first episode called “Cartman gets an anal probe” was aired on August 13, 1997. Ownership and Market Today, the show is still aired on Comedy Central. This channel however, has gone through a number of ownerships since South Park’s first episode made it to the screen. When the channel was first created, it was owned by Time Warner, the same company that owns HBO, a well known premium cable television network, and called The Comedy Channel. In 1991, two years after the creation of The Comedy Channel, Viacom launched a rival channel called “Ha!”. Both channels were exclusively devoted to comedy and were huge...

...the country if he was granted bail. Honor killings are known as a murder that is fulfilled due to the “disgrace” to one’s religion or family. Some say that Adnan murdered Hae as an act of honor. It is said on multiple occasions that Adnan was religious along side his family. United States v. Doe (1990) states that racially biased prosecutorial arguments are unconstitutional, however it seems that the State of Maryland did not give Adnan a truly fair trial. Hae Lee’s body was found in February 1999, in the same month that Adnan was arrested for her murder. The press and Lee family put stress on Law enforcement, which resulted in an early arrest. When Adnan was placed on trial for the killing of Hae, September 11, 2001 had not occurred yet. Before September 11, 2001 America was not nearly as prejudice towards the United States Muslim...

...ISSN 1940-204X Buns Bakery: Creating and Using a Master Budget Jason C. Porter University of Idaho BACkgROUND Buns Bakery is a medium-sized regional bakery that specializes in providing orders to grocery and convenience stores. Because of the popularity of its brand, it has also opened a small café for walk-in business. In order to maintain its high quality standard, Buns produces only three products: breakfast muffins, fresh bread, and chocolate chip cookies. Although business has been good in the past few years, a lucky contact with a large chain has recently allowed it to expand its brand out of the local region. Growth has been high since the new contract went into effect. Andy Griff, the chief executive officer (CEO) and founder, has arranged a meeting with a venture capital firm next week. Hopefully the meeting will result in the sale of some of Buns’ stock and an opportunity to establish a significant line of credit with the venture capital firm. These extra funds, if Andy can secure them, should provide sufficient money to meet Buns’ growth targets for the next few years. The venture capital firm’s assessment team has asked Andy to provide a quarterly master budget for the coming year, complete with pro forma financial statements, at the meeting. They have expressed special interest in Buns’ earnings per share (EPS), cash flow from operations, and profit margins, indicating that good numbers in these areas will be essential for final approval. In typical managerial...

After my experience of cross country I started to notice how I had not only grown as a runner but also as a person. I had learned a lot of important life skills such as being able to work with others during both practice and meets, and also to be a leader. We all huddled together and got ready for practice. It was the first day of 8th grade cross country and we were all super excited. All though I was slightly...

...abstinence programs in schools. If a school chooses to have an abstinence plus birth control program, the government will not present them with any federal funds to help cover the costs of the program (Lindberg, Laura, Duberstein, and Isaac Maddow-Zimet 332). Not only will the government refuse to fund the program, but the parents are also scared such courses will negatively influence their children and churches say it goes against moral conduct. The church argument should be invalid if our country wants to live up to the separation of church and state. The church should not be able to dictate what students learn. However, that is beside the point. Until schools have the backing of the community and parents, this will not be changed. The media also plays a big role in negative influences on teen pregnancy. In my opinion, this is something that classes could change. Deciding on who should receive this education is another debate. Everyone should receive this education. The information is very helpful and useful. When asked about sex education, Helen B. Shaffer had this to say, “while sex education in the schools has become fairly prevalent, much of it still skirts around the very questions on which young people need more knowledge, understanding, and guidance” (Section 1 Paragraph 3). Students may have questions even if they have never had any formal sex education classes. Because sexual activities and unplanned pregnancies have drastically risen among teenagers, sex education programs...

NAMES AND PLACES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE LORIEN SIX, WHO REMAIN IN HIDING. OTHER CIVILIZATIONS DO EXIST. SOME OF THEM SEEK TO DESTROY YOU. Chapter One MY NAME IS MARINA, AS OF THE SEA, BUT I WASN’T called that until much later. In the beginning I was known merely as Seven, one of the nine surviving Garde from the planet Lorien, the fate of which was, and still is, left in our hands. Those of us who aren’t lost. Those of us still alive. I was six when we landed. When the ship jolted to a halt on Earth, even at my young age I sensed how much was at stake for us—nine Cêpan, nine Garde— and that our only chance waited for us here. We had entered the planet’s atmosphere in the midst of a storm of our own creation, and as our feet found Earth for the very first time, I remember the wisps of steam that rolled off the ship and the goose bumps that covered my arms. I hadn’t felt the wind in a year, and it was freezing outside. Somebody was there waiting for us. I don’t know who he was, only that he handed each Cêpan two sets of clothes and a large envelope. I still don’t know what was in it. As a group we huddled...

...Fresh from a convent Sarah Winter was starry-eyed at the thought of what lay ahead of her-a trip, her first ever abroad to the. West Indies, and a challenging job as governess to three children-the nephew and nieces of Jason de Cordova, who more or less ruled the island Where Sarah was going. But had she only known, the children were going to the least of her problems. She had never before had to face the overwhelming attraction of a man-certainly not one like Jason de Cordova. But Jason was a married man ,and he intended to stay that way... CHAPTER ONE THE pearly, early morning light stole like a wraith across the island, lifting the wreaths of mist from the trees, and, as the sun rose higher, gilding the fleecy clouds with a golden glow. Jason had seen many such sunrises, but they never failed to move him by their complete detachment from the toils and rigours of the world they so beautifully illuminated. Leaning against his balcony rail, he saw the shadows disappear among the palms that fringed the coral beach, and the white-surfed breakers that creamed on the sand sparkled iridescently. This was the time of day he liked best, when everything was fresh and unspoilt, and for a few hours at least, before Irena awoke, he was free from the sound of her hysterical recriminations. He looked inland, over the fields of waving sugar cane, the brightness of the crop interspersed here and there by the dark brown thatched roofs of the huts belonging to the plantation workers. Beyond...
