...Respected teachers and my dear friends, wish you a happy independence day. I am extremely honoured to stand before you on this special day, 15th August, on which we celebrate India's Independence day. On 15th August 1947, India got freedom from the British rule after 200 years. This national festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the country. This day is to remember our great leaders, freedom fighters for their endless resistance against the foreign powers to give us the freedom that we enjoy today. Dear friends, with every passing year we learn more & more about India, its charismatic leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, B R Ambedkar and Subhash Chandra Bose. It's our duty to pay homage to all those who have laid down their lives to make the country free from foreign dominance. But today some anti-social elements want to disturb our nation. They want to create problems for people of our country. Here comes our responsibility to fight back. Well my dear friends, what can we as a student do at this juncture? Should we go and catch the terrorists? Should we fight against the corrupted politicians? Or should we take over the country into our hands by waging another war for freedom? No, we are not expected to do all these things. We must keep observing things around us. We will have our own day. Before that, let us do our duty of preparing ourselves to be well-educated citizens of tomorrow. Let us do our duty sincerely and study hard to achieve...

...Independence day: Resurgence is a futuristic film that encapsulates our modern perception of aliens and intergalactic warfare. As the 4th of July approaches, nations from across the globe are facing what could be a mass extinction of the human race. Though the plot of this film is elementary, the way it was conveyed was interesting and noteworthy. In relation to Stephen R. Prince’s Movies and Meaning- An Introduction to Film, there are several of functions that attribute to the production of this film. The sound designer of this film did a grotesque job at assigning acoustic qualities to the aliens, and the technology they brought with them. At the same time, the editors of this film did a subpar job at establishing certain tempos during different...

People put on gala dresses and take part in the celebrations with great enthusiasm. The day is observed as a public holiday. This year the day was celebrated in our town with great eclat. The main celebrations were held in an open space. The function was presided over by the Minister for Education. First of all, he unfurled the National Flag. The police band played the National Anthem. School boys and girls sang national songs which were quite thrilling and inspiring. Then the Minister delivered an impressive speech. He said, "The National Flag is the symbol of our solidarity. It was by rallying under this flag that we won freedom. We have won political freedom but we have yet to win economic freedom. We must work and toil to make India great. India expects everybody to do his or her duty." The speech was followed by a march past by the military, the police, the N.C.C., the A.C.C., the boy scouts and the girl guides. The Minister took the salute. It was followed by picturesque tableaux from the history of India and the daily life in different parts of our vast country. In the afternoon, there were sports and matches. There were tea parties. People made merry. Sweets and fruits were distributed among boys and girls. There were songs and dances. There was a great commotion. People came from far-off villages to see the celebrations.

...Neverending flashbacks of the surrounding dead bodies, abandoning comrades to survive the battle with the unawareness of the danger at every step can never be truly comprehended through visuals. Military nightmares from horrendous war experience create a psychological corruption which only the affected can remenice. Images poorly represent dreadful events as the images only provide a brief insight, shadowing the realistic fear and therefore remaining clueless regarding genuine experience. The constant risky decisions and the desperation to survive during warfare creates a rational traumatic event. The film Born on the Fourth of July heartbreaking scene during the Independence Day demonstrates Kovic unable to finish a speech due to post traumatic stress order caused by the battle in Vietnam. As outsiders, movies continuously expose heartbreaking visuals, however, viewers remain unaffected mentally. They continue to live freely from perceiving anything to be life threatening such as misinterpreting a loud bang as bombing or explosions, including frequent vivid terrifying memories. As a result, images can never mimic the realistic mental issues, much less the agony of remaining paralyzed for his lifetime. Moreover, the emotional...

Persuasive Prose: Advertisements Bibliography Plagriasm document Page 4 – 5 Page 6 Page 7 1|Page Assignment 01 ENG2602 A. Prose: Fiction Assignment Midnight’s Children is written by Salman Rashied, who was born in Bombay, India but lives in England. This is an English novel written in the first person narrative that is from the perspective of Saleem Sinia. Reading the passage it is quite clear that the theme here is Saleem Sinia’s attitude towards and the significance of India’s independence on the day of his birth.The distress and dismay of being born on this day is clearly established: ‘Oh spell it out, spell it out: at the precise moment of India’s arrival at independence, I tumbled forth into the world.’ (Rushdie, 1982). Repition is used to reflect Saleem’s irritation of having to specify his birth date. The protagonist and narrator of the story is Saleem Sinia, born at the exact moment India became an independent country. Saleem was born with telepathic powers and had an enormous and constantly runny nose with an extremely sensitive sense of smell gifts Saleem did not ask for, as he states, ‘For the next three decades, there was to be no escape.’ (Rushdie, 1982) The way the writer plunges the reader into the situation without a contrived introduction and writing from personal experience could be referred to as...

...Being true to yourself is not always as simple as it sounds living in the modern world. Conflicting cultures, expectations, values, beliefs and the mindset of your peers are all obstacles to maintaining personal independence. Sometimes the world that we are brought up in to puts limits on our ability to do what we want to do. For example, in Take Me Away Please, Lily Chan explains how she has been brought up living and working in a Chinese restaurant. “Getting to work wasn’t an issue, but getting away was, as our small living quarters were attached to the shop.” Not only did she have to deal with school then working from 4:30 onwards 6 days a week, but there was no real escape for her as she basically lived at her workplace with her parents. Living in this constant working environment with no real place to relax and have time to one ’s self would greatly affect the development of a person’s independence. Personal independence is about being true to yourself and acting in a way that is not dictated by the people around you. Peer groups often play a big role in a person losing a sense of who they are in an attempt to fit in and feel accepted by others. In Sticks and Stones and such like, Sunil Badami is made fun of at school for his culture and his name. In an effort to fit in, he decides to “change” his name to sound more western, so he calls himself Neil. While this may make Sunil feel more accepted at school, it means that he is sacrificing a big part of who he is and...

...Interpretation of President Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. The purpose of this point is to forbid arrangements, segments of settlements or indulgences that are formed in secret with making it available to the members of the public. The expression "openly arrived at” was used by the president to disclose to the Senate that the expression was not intended to reject private strategic arrangements including fragile matters, but to address that anything that occurs through any classified arrangements or consultations might not tie, unless it shows up in the Final agreement that is made known to the world. The point also proves that in future; each bargain most be a law that covers the general public and the world as a whole by making each country accepts a sure commitment with respect to its requirement. Clearly, countries can't expect commitments in matters they are not aware of; and subsequently any mystery settlement has a tendency to undermine the whole structure of universal agreements that will be proposed in future. II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants. The purpose of this point is to explain...

...Provision for needs to be met in early years settings Provision for needs to be met in Day care settings Personal support, supervision, advice, chiropody, aids and adaptations, meals. Provision for needs to be met in Residential and nursing homes Early years workers are often role models for children so should lead by example e.g. the language they use between each other will be imitated. Research shows that children imitate vocab and accent as well as actual words. Day care centres encourage independence in personal hygiene and the SLT can be applied here e.g. a service user says that they are able to shower themselves today to the care worker and gets praised for this by the care worker. Another service user is watching this and when it is his turn for a shower he says ‘actually I think I can do it myself today’ Certain powerful residents can encourage anti-social behaviour through SLT e.g. a popular male resident flirts with the nurses so other residents start to do it e.g. a resident is bulling another resident and some residents begin to imitate the bully and join in. The way the early years workers eat their lunch is likely to be imitated by the children therefore they should display good table manners i.e. eating with mouth closed, knife and fork in correct hands. At day care centres intellectual stimulation is encouraged. SLT can be applied here e.g. the carers sit down to play chess. Service users see this and start their own chess group. SLT can be...

...Daycare: Good or Bad? Hope Plummer English 122: English Composition 2 Instructor Larry Holden 3/02/2014 Daycare: Good or Bad? In this day and age, more women are becoming more active in the workplace which forces them to leave their children in a daycare atmosphere. The first few years of a child's life are detrimental to their development. In general, traditional daycare settings do not have a reputation for being emotionally healthy, so we must ask ourselves the question, is public daycare worth the risks? In this paper, I will provide compelling examples as to why I believe public daycare settings are unhealthy for positive cognitive and social development as well as my suggestions for what type of childcare would be healthier. One of the reasons parents opt to keep their children out of daycare is due to the amount of germs their child will get exposed to on a daily basis. 'Children in day care centers are more likely to catch an infection than kids who do not attend day care. Children who go to day care are often around other kids who may be sick.'(Kaneshiro, 2012) This is partly due to the high number of children in each classroom and caregivers not using the proper sanitary actions necessary with high volumes of children. There are simply too many children to look after. This leaves many classes understaffed. I personally worked at a daycare for a decent amount of time and I can vouch for that fact firsthand. There...

...Remembrance Day. Veterans, McGill students and visitors from everywhere gathered together to celebrate and memorize this day. It was not hard to notice that almost everyone had a poppy on their collars. The red poppies remind people the brutality of war and efforts that Canadians had made to keep the homeland safe and complete. Accordingly every year on Remembrance Day Canadians wear poppies to show that they are not forgetting the history. Therefore, the poppy can be a symbol of Canada as it reminds Canadians the First and Second World Wars which had a deep influence on Canada in such ways that the wars gave Canadians a stronger sense of nation and that they promotes women to fight and gain their political rights, and as it is also characterized as peace that the soldiers risked their life to gain and Canada has always been a peace-keeper in the world stage. (Red Poppy Field, by Irina Sztukowski, 2012) Poppy is a kind of plant that can grow up to 4 feet tall and that often blooms in late spring to early summer. (Simon, Chadwick, and Craker, Herbs: An indexed bibliography). Its recognition as a symbol of remembrance of war originated from the poem “In Flanders Fields” by the Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. In the poem, he wrote “In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived...

...April 25th is celebrated each year by Australians as Anzac Day. It is a day to remember the landing at Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1915, the 8 months that followed and the thousands of men who served in the Gallipoli campaign. The day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand soldiers during the First World War. Australians enlisted to fight in the WWI by the thousands, enticed by a sense of adventure and higher wages. They also enlisted because of their hatred of Germany and they had a desire to avoid the disapproval of their peers. As a country, Australia entered WW1 on the British side with reasons being British ancestry and Australia’s relations with Britain, the ‘mother country’....
