...My understanding of the cultural and contextual considerations of the novel was deepened through the interactive oral process and class discussion we had about psychological factors in prisoners and films influence on the characters. One interactive oral describes psychological factors found in prisoners such as depression, PTSD, phobias, anxiety issues and most importantly hallucinations.

...29 April 2013 MBA Paper: Dr Daniel Lucero The ‘Book Publishing in 2010’ by Bradley and Bartlett presents a comprehensive picture of book publishing before and after the onset of the e-‐book revolution. What are the long-‐term threats and opportunities facing the book publishing industry?

...Presenting ideas successfully to an audience can be challenging; however, if done right, it can greatly benefit both parties. Kirk Osborn spoke on the importance of presenting information through analogies and stories in an engaging manner. By using this method, instead of overwhelming the audience with an overload of information, the audience and presenter interactions become more valuable. Osborn demonstrates the significance in effectively connecting with the audience through not only his stories and analogies, but also his own delivery. The first example of a successful technology Osborn introduced was Transmeta. However, when it was initially pitched to the public, the company had a difficult time convincing people of Transmeta’s worth....

...In the short story “Used to Live Here Once” (Rhys, 1976), tells the tale of one woman’s spiritual journey on her path in the afterlife. The underlying theme in this story is death. Although, “death” is not immediately obvious until the final passage; however, reflecting back, subtle hints were presented throughout the story leading to its ironical outcome. To understand and capture the theme of a story, Clugston (2010) explains that the plot, the mood, and not even the attitude of the author can depict a story’s theme. The theme is the underlying idea, shaped in a unique way that is brought to life through various elements to make the underlying idea concrete. The two key elements utilized in this story were setting and symbolism. Each played a significant role to capture the theme of this narrative. The story begins in a country setting; a woman is standing at the edge of a flowing river. It was a clear and sunny day and the sky was blue. As I read the opening paragraphs, I had a sense that the environment described felt to be peaceful and serene, as one might feel when they transcend into the afterlife. I believe this to be the author’s first hint at the theme, and set the mood for the entire story. The setting is an important element in story telling; as Annenberg Learner (2013), explains, the [setting] “is the crossroads of circumstance, the proving ground of What happened? Who’s there? Who’s coming?” (par.1). In essence, the setting described in this story helps the reader...
