...“Even if I hadn’t got the acid in my eyes-on my face (by accident: Rose-Ann had meant to ht Harry to be hurt by the acid- hit me, but Harry, who was, as I said, unexpected). Even if I hadn’t got the acid in my eyes, I’d never have seen my father again” (1). In the novel Sleena was mentioning how she got blind by accident. She sees what her mother had done to be a accident. Her tone towards this isn’t too upset as to be expected . I thought her tone would be more upset that she is upset because it is pretty hard when you’re mother had caused it. I think this shows how strong she is since she is past that matter. “I was excited, so happy. For the first time in my life of eighteen years, someone had talked, laughed, helped me. I was trembling for happiness” (26). In the novel Sleena was at the park where she met a man named Gordon. They began to chat and got comfortable in each other’s company. He left to get themselves both some food and Sleena was in thinking about how happy she is. Sleena’s voice is expressing how happy she is that she got to meet Gordon. I think it was very interesting how happy she got just because he began speaking to her. “No one, not even Mr.Faber had ever, I’m sured cared whether I drank at all, let alone what I cared to drink. It was fabulous. I would stuck my nail into my hand it hurt I was not dreaming”...

...Should primary children with learning disabilities be taught in mainstream education? In the UK more and more parents are finding themselves having to put their children who have learning disabilities into mainstream education, mainly because One of the main reasons for this is that the government have not got enough money to fund specialist schools or to train teachers to specialise in this area to look after children who have these learning disabilities Also the ones we have The existing specialist schools are already full and almost at breaking point. More and more classes around the UK have at least one or two children with a learning disability, and people are beginning to think about the effect they have on the class, the teachers and the child. A class in which there are pupils with learning disabilities can be seen as an advantage. This is because children haven’t got a clear understanding of differences and knowing one of their peers has a learning disability can help the pupils have an understanding of their fellow peer and their disability. It can help the child to tolerate and accept those with learning disabilities. This in time will spread into the child developing an understanding of not just learning disabilities but other differences that set their future peers and colleagues apart from them. It will develop the child’s empathy towards their peers and this is a vital life skill. For a child with learning disabilities being in a mainstream class will also...

...Hypothesis Formulation Once you have identified you research question, it is time to formulate your hypothesis. While the research question is broad and includes all the variables you want your study to consider, the hypothesis is a statement that specific relationship you expect to find from your examination of these variables. When formulating the hypothesis(es) for your study, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Good hypotheses meet the following criteria: 1) Identify the independent and dependent variables to be studied. 2) Specify the nature of the relationship that exists between these variables. 3) Simple (often referred to as parsimonious). It is better to be concise than to be long-winded. It is also better to have several simple hypotheses than one complicated hypothesis. 4) Does not include reference to specific measures. 5) Does not refer to specific statistical procedures that will be used in analysis. 6) Implies the population that you are going to study. 7) Is falsifiable and testable. As indicated above, it is better to have several simple hypotheses than one complex one. However, it is also a good idea to limit the number of hypotheses you use in a study to six or fewer. Studies that address more hypotheses than six will often be too time consuming to keep participants interested, and uninterested participants do not take the importance of their responses as seriously...

...garden of Eden. In the critical essay the author states that lack of insight is the main theme and reason of everyone’s faults, this goes efficiently with this comparative essay because the themes that are stated can be referenced. This relates to the play because comparing the themes with the characters expresses the true intentions of Shakespeare. The themes that appear in both the essay King Lear’s Folly and the actual play is power of who holds it, nature and the values of what it represents, and parallels created with how the characters are contrasted. The first theme in the novel is power who has it, how one defines it, and how it plays into King Lear. As in the opening act Lear creates a love test to justify giving Cordelia a large share of his kingdom as she is his favorite. Instead of her answer resulting in flattery and gushing confessions of love like her elder sister’s, Cordelia's reply is tempered, honest, and reasonable- “ Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave My heart into my mouth: I love your majesty According to my bond; nor more nor less”. With this he banishes her and puts his two eldest in charge and with the power Goneril and Regan begin to treat their father poorly, with this look at power should also come an investigation of age and gender into the play. Since Edmund seduces both of the eldest sisters then Lear is banished into a storm, this (as King Lear’s Folly states) threatened the stability of the social structure. There is the treatment of...

...collectively, but something about his movements startled us. He threw down obstacles for us and maneuvered almost as if he had a mind of his own. Even more disturbing for us was the fact that he was alone, able to think and move on his own outside of a group. We smelled his fear, his struggle to escape and this dragged us further in rage. He ran out of a door into the light of day and we realized at this point, for now, he was out of reach. We got a better glimpse of him once he entered the light: he was the cause, one of the creators of what we are. We are the Dark Seekers and we are a creation of man’s greed. We are the monstrous creation of his kind and we must destroy that from which we are created. Through film, directors can show us a world in which mankind is only surviving on a thread of hope. They can show us a society that only lived to further progress today, condemning the future to the aftermath of their carelessness. They can warn us, visually, of what we as human kind are capable of producing in a way that no other media can. Film itself is a product of human advancement in technology; furthermore, a monster in itself. With this advancement we as society are instilled with visual aids and special effects depicting the horrors that come from taking technology or medicine too far. Film makers show viewers that delving too deeply into technology in order to satisfy our immediate desires without considering the future...

...I am legend “I am Legend” is a sci-fi movie based on a brilliant military scientist, Robert Neville, whom becomes the last man on earth. He becomes the last man on earth because of a man-made untreatable virus which turns people into flesh eating zombies. He is immune to the virus and the only one who can save humanity. He spends several years trying to control the virus and also broadcasting radio signals for any other survivors. The Zombies creep around in the shadows, observing the scientist’s every move until he makes a fatal mistake. I liked this movie because the effectiveness and dialogue of it were accurate and I didn’t get lost watching all the scenes. The special effects and background coincided with what was going on throughout the movie and also appeared to be realistic. The performance of the main character, Will Smith, was phenomenal and I also felt as if I was in his shoes. Several aspects during certain scenes made the movie stand out from the thousands of movies I’ve watched. When Neville was driving around New York City with his dog Sam in a 2009 ford mustang GT500, the roar of the engine and the watchful eye of his dog following the deers symbolized modern hunting. After they got out on foot and began chasing the wild animals into the growing forest and the lions appeared out of the fields to take Neville’s priced deer gave me the idea that earth was reverting back into prehistoric times. Finally, when he sacrificed his life after he realized...

...The Dave Matthews Band When I think of The Dave Matthews Band, I also think of their jazzy pop rock music that has helped them become a musical sensation. The band consists of jazz and classical musicians and of course, Dave Matthews. Their music and songs are very unique and have not been heard before the band came about. They have touched millions of people’s hearts, especially mine. The fact that they sing about real situations and real issues that are going on the world today is what makes them my favorite band. Whether I am happy, sad, or mad, The Dave Matthews Band’s album “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King” always lifts my spirits and puts me in a better mood; their songs are inspirational. One of the songs that touch me the most is called “Funny the Way It Is”. This song is about the good and bad things going on in the world. The point being made is that even though many wonderful things are happening, bad things are occurring at the exact same time. “Funny the way it is, if you think about it/ One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out/ Funny the way it is, not right or wrong/ On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born/ Funny the way it is, not right or wrong/ Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song/ Funny the way it is, if you think about it/ One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out” Not only does it discuss the fine times and poor times in life, but also how people take the privileges they have for granted.

...I Am Sam SHS 270, Fall 2012 Scott Farnan, 668300995, sfarnan2@illinois.edu A Village of Love I Am Sam is a 2001 American drama film directed by Jessie Nelson and produced by Edward Zwick. The movie is not based off of anything but the title is a quote from Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham; the screenplay was written by Jessie Nelson and Kristie Johnson. This film is about a man with a disability who fights for custody rights of his seven-year-old daughter. The character in the film with a cognitive disability is Sam Dawson. Sam is a very good looking man who is polite, loving and has a comforting personality. Sam’s politeness is shown during the movie while he works at the local Starbucks and Pizza Hut. He always has a smile on his face and tells the customer that what they ordered was “a wonderful choice” (Zwick & Nelson, 2001). He fights for custody of his daughter because she means the world to him and he does everything he can to make her happy. In addition, he helps Rina, his lawyer, with her personal problems and comforts one of Rina’s patients in her office when she is upset (Zwick & Nelson, 2001). Sam is the protagonist and his protagonist nature is evident throughout the film. For instance, the movie title includes his name, signifying his role as the central character. In addition, Sam is shown in every scene, the plot line is centered on his life and his father-daughter relationship with Lucy progresses with significant details. Sam’s actions, due to...

...This is important because in Green Eggs and Ham, the main characters are Sam and an un-named character. This distinction shows two critical points, first that the events of Green Eggs and Jam most likely take place after the events of Green Eggs and Ham as opposed to being an alternate of the same story; Secondly it shows that Sam has an overly elevated value of self importance because the opposing character in the original version was not considered important enough to be given or referred to by a name. This is further illustrated in the next few seconds of Green Eggs and Jam in which he repeats “I am Sam.” “‘Sam I am.’ he concluded”, implying that his name carries great weight and the world should know who he is. The extreme closeups and the uptilted angle with the wind blowing in Sam’s hair illustrate Sam’s self righteousness and the comical inflation of importance. Starting the video out by glorifying Sam like that helps to convey how Sam sees himself, and in fact the first few seconds are built specifically to reveal the inner workings of Sam’s mind and his self centered nature. The start to Gastrow’s video sets the scene to purpose that Green Eggs and Ham was written biasedly towards Sam’s self righteous perspective, and after the events of that book he seeks to set the record...

...George even says in act two “Ma, I don’t want to grow old. Why’s everybody pushing me so?” (Wilder Act 2). He loves being a kid and playing baseball for school, but he doesn’t realize that everyone has to grow up at one point. The people in this play and in real life do not truly understand how much they take their life for granted and do not understand that. Emily says in act three in the graveyard “Do human beings ever realize life while they live it?—every, every minute?” (Wilder Act 3) Thornton Wilder’s interpretation of the American Dream is that people need to be accepted, loved, appreciated, and valued by other people before they can achieve the American dream. This is universal because even though it is called the American dream people from different countries...

...Question #5: Identify controls that could have helped prevent or detect this theft, had they been in place Answer: * By providing fiscal policies and procedures in writing that are approved Board of Directors the entities sets a major underlying foundation for behavior that is expected and required. * These policies should include conflict of interest and code of ethics section. * Procedures should be updated every year * It is important that employees are taught and trained in the policies so that they learned of their existence and they get a sense of what is expected of them. * It is also important to exercise segregation of duties in the workplace. This means require different parties to perform key parts of the transaction. Specifically, separate the authorization, custody, record keeping and reconciliation duties. In the case, not only is Jessica in charge of the custody and record keeping duty, but there also seems that there isn’t any supervising bank reconciliation activity being performed. There are different controls that this entity could have used to avoid segregation of duties problems experienced that led to the burglary of funds by Jessica. Some of these are: * Implement a bank lockbox system that receives the entity payments. These system would have avoided Jessica or any employee to have to deal with cash by just getting bank notifications of the daily deposits for recording. * If a lockbox system is unavailable/undesirable...

The movies tells the story of Robert Neville (Will Smith), an immune scientist tasked with finding a cure for an infection that turns people into zombie like creatures called Darkseekers. It’s classified into as a thriller horror because of its aggression and reality; there’s, philological confusion, evil vs good, and suspense in every corner. Author Richard Matheson and director Francis Lawrence brilliantly included themes of death, the dark, and loneliness:fears everyone has once experienced, in order to invoke the classic horror movie feelings. At first, the movie seems like a wanna be classic, but after watching it a few...
