...Hamlet: Analysis of Act IV Soliloquy Hamlet by William Shakespeare is a tragic play about a young prince named Hamlet and his struggle to avenge the death of his father. Hamlet is outraged when he learns that what appeared to be an accidental death was actually a murder carried out by his uncle. He vows to get revenge on the murderer at all costs. Throughout the play, Hamlet is hesitant about his actions until he sees a group of soldiers preparing to battle over a very small piece of land. At this point Hamlet has a soliloquy; he reflects on his actions and is upset with himself for not fulfilling his plan yet. He decides that it is time to complete what he has started and kill his uncle. This speech directly affects the target audience, the people of the Elizabethan Era. The audience is captured by the use of poetic devices, they can relate to Hamlet and feel his pain, and his speech adds excitement as the audience knows there will be a change of events. Shakespeare uses an abundance of literary devices to enhance his work. In this soliloquy there are multiple examples that draw in the viewer and intensify the meaning of his words. The speech opens with an example of assonance: “How all occasions do inform against me,/ And spur my dull revenge!” (4.4.31-32). The repetition of the “o” sound in the first line and the “u” sound in the second line make the words flow together. This captures the audience’s attention because it makes the phrase easy to listen to. The words are...

...This could possibly be due to systematical errors when some of the trials were left in the solvent longer, therefore not all the pigments had the same amount of time to separate from the ink. This was also shown in figures 10, 16 and 19 where certain coloured pigments only appeared once or twice throughout the trials instead of consistently. These abnormal anomalies might also be from an inaccurate method. As when it was first written, there was no instruction to draw a pencil line 1cm from the top of the paper to indicate that the solvent stopped at the same place on each trial. A note for future experiments testing this situation, drawing a pencil line 1cm from the top of the paper should be added before any trials have begun. As the experiments were being tested, it was unexpected to see that pen 2’s ink did not move in both water and acetic acid from the pencil line. This was unexpected as all the other pens had a clear solvent front and Rf value whereas pen 2 did not move at all, indicating that again, the components of the ink were non-polar. Furthermore, it was unexpected to see that both the mixed solvents produced more coloured pigments. This is because solvents were combined to create a mixture between different polarities, causing a wider range of pigments to be...

...HOW TO WRITE A LITERARY ANALYSIS ESSAY The purpose of a literary analysis essay is to carefully examine and sometimes evaluate a work of literature or an aspect of a work of literature. As with any analysis, this requires you to break the subject down into its component parts. Examining the different elements of a piece of literature is not an end in itself but rather a process to help you better appreciate and understand the work of literature as a whole. For instance, an analysis of a poem might deal with the different types of images in a poem or with the relationship between the form and content of the work. If you were to analyze (discuss and explain) a play, you might analyze the relationship between a subplot and the main plot, or you might analyze the character flaw of the tragic hero by tracing how it is revealed through the acts of the play. Analyzing a short story might include identifying a particular theme (like the difficulty of making the transition from adolescence to adulthood) and showing how the writer suggests that theme through the point of view from which the story is told; or you might also explain how the main character‟s attitude toward women is revealed through his dialogue and/or actions. REMEMBER: Writing is the sharpened, focused expression of thought and study. As you develop your writing skills, you will also improve your perceptions and increase your critical abilities. Writing ultimately boils down to the development of an idea....

...placement in a pivotal time frame, against a newly founded branch of a big name brand (Lawry’s). He needs to decide on the best route to take for the sake of the company. Problem Identification Lawry’s (a direct, big name competitor) is launching a new steak sauce product nationally, and is aggressively looking to go head to head with A.1. The “big wigs” over at Lawry’s have spoken to Publix, which is a major grocer in the region, about running an ad in their Memorial Day circular. Publix is large grocery chain based in the south eastern United States and covers five states (Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee) with over 1000 locations in that region. With the enormous population base in the area (especially Florida, where they have over 750 locations), losing ground to a competitor such as Lawry’s would not be a good thing. Not only is Lawry’s going after a pivotal ad space, they are entering with an extremely low price point. This price point leaves A.1 with some incredibly difficult choices to make. Identifying the Root Problem Components The problem that A.1 is facing is a quite difficult one to figure out, there seems to be a possible double edged sword scenario that they could potentially face. Should they defend themselves against the aggressive approach from Lawry’s? Or should they just let it ride and stand idly by? If action is chosen to be taken, the logical choice would be to match Lawry’s price point. However, by doing so, their...

...A Short Note on Market Orientation Market orientation (MO) is one of the most visible phrases in marketing, especially in the MBA and MSc courses on marketing. In many ways it has become an umbrella term (and thus in danger of losing its effectiveness), and is sometimes confused with the marketing concept, customer satisfaction, customer orientation etc. Even though there might be an overlap with the latter terms, this short, friendly note will define MO more precisely and set it in the context of top academic research, especially since 1990. Origins: The Marketing Concept Some highly popular textbooks claim MO is synonymous with the marketing concept. For example, one of most popular marketing texts notes in the first chapter that “the marketing concept is often referred to as ‘market orientation’”. This might have been the case till 1990, but ever since, we distinguish between the two terms. Drucker (1954) may have been one of the first theorists to suggest that creating satisfied customers was the only valid definition of business purpose. Webster (1988) summarized the marketing concept by noting that “executives must put the interests of the customer at the top of the firm’s priorities.” You may like to think of it as a kind of a philosophy, a belief, an ideal, a policy statement, or even a normative statement. Market Orientation In 1990, two seminal papers were published in the Journal of Marketing, which defined and operationalized MO by creating two scales...

...The Desire for Higher Wealth …or Social Status? Article Analysis Paper 2 It’s hard to recall a time where America was not driven solely by work and income level. We are told to go to college and earn a degree so we can make a living when we are older. We are consciously reminded of the unemployment rate, and the precautionary steps so we do not end up there. Ultimately, we are living in a generation that strives for the label of “white collar workers.” In his article titled “Why the Highest Paid People Make So Much More Money,” author Steve Hargreaves investigates exactly where this “capital craving “ is coming from. Although it’s easy to pinpoint celebrities and CEO’s as the guilty party, there are a number of other factors that contribute to the shrinkage of the blue-collar working class. Hargreaves opens his article with some shocking statistics, as “middle-income Americans earn a wage of just $39,963, while Tiger Woods’ pegged 78 million last year alone.” With average income falling for the 90% of American families, we are left to question why exactly people at the top are reaching such huge gains, while the rest of us see little to no improvement? Globalization, surprisingly, is one of the leading theories economists have to answer this question. Since there are numerically more people entering the label of “middle class,” celebrities like Tiger Woods are able to leverage their global brand and sell just that much more. As economist Michael Wolf puts it, “there are...

...Personal Life of Author and Focus of Book John Ortberg the author of The Life You’ve Always Wanted, If You Want To Walk On Water You’ve Got To Get Out The Boat and Love Beyond Reason was previously the teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois and is now on staff at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, California. The following book review is concerning his work presented in The Life You’ve Always Wanted. There’s a point in every Christian’s life where you begin to ask questions like; am I doing all that I was created to do? Am I as intimate with God as I ought to be? Is this life I’m living pleasing to God? The list of questions could go on and on. John Ortberg’s book The Life You’ve Always Wanted gives very clear and precise ways for accurate analysis of our lives through a ministerial, biblical and cultural lens. Ortber’s perspectives, life examples and raw truths are vast and practical for pondering and application. This book voices a line of reasoning in the areas of Hope of Transformation, Spiritual Disciplines, a Well-Ordered Heart, and Living a Life of Endurance. Hope of Transformation Ortberg begins this book with the everlasting ache of disappointment many Christians have experienced as they continue in their personal relationships with God. He places great emphasis on the feeling of disappointment. He states “…the feeling of disappointment is not the problem, but a reflection of a deeper problem – my failure to be the...

...On Writing, and my practice with rhetorical analysis. Each of these assignments have significantly impacted me and caused me to view my own writing differently. They have helped me grow as a writer as well as come closer to finding my own writer’s “voice”. I have really enjoyed and learned from the chapters that I have read so far in I Hate Writing. My favorite chapter is chapter seven because Bohannon discusses many different ways to introduce a paper. I found her methods very helpful because I have a tendency to struggle when writing my introductions; I simply have no idea where to begin. Bohannon suggestions in chapter seven include telling a story, using a quotation, defining an unfamiliar term, directly stating an argument, writing in the reader, and being creative. After trying each of the options presented by Bohannon in this particular chapter, I found that using a quotation is my favorite technique. I feel it is the easiest way to start a paper off since I have something to base my paper off of. I also feel it is a good way to draw the reader in since a quote is simple, yet sets the theme and mood of a paper. I also appreciated the advice Bohannon gave in chapter six. She talks about how to set up and organize a paper, as well as how to transition from different ideas. I particularly like one of her quotes in which she compares writing to dominoes. She states "If you line up a group of dominoes and tip over the first in line, each one will touch the other and they will...

...Qualitative Method of Case Analysis - EOPT Theory Case Method Used in MGMT 1P96 Fall 2013 – Brock University Prepared by Michael Robertson Revisions by Jacqueline Glenney INTRODUCTION Qualitative case analysis, as distinct from the quantitative method, deals with organizational issues that impede or prevent companies from being effectively organized. Qualitative case analysis is typically used in Organizational Behaviour, Human Resource Management, Organizational Change, Industrial Relations or any venue that is significantly impacted by human interaction. This type of analysis identifies inconsistencies, incongruities and conflicts that are sub-optimal and allows the analyst to prescribe solutions that address both the acute problems facing the organization (the individual events or actions observed) and the chronic, underlying conditions that promote these sub-optimal conditions. 1. OVERVIEW The overview is a 5 – 7 sentence paragraph that establishes the context in which any analysis or decision must be made for the case in question. This section of the report indicates to the reader that the analyst (You) understands the circumstances of the organization’s dilemma. The writer must identify the key people involved, most critical event or events that have happened and the situation that has resulted. Finally, the writer must detail the apparent decision(s) that must be made. Note: This is not an introduction and absolutely no conclusions are drawn at this point. The writer is...
