...‘Explore how Harper Lee describes the character of Miss Maudie’ The first time Harper Lee introduces Miss Maudie to the reader, Scout says that she spent the rest of her remaining twilights with her. This at once shows us that Miss Maudie isn’t like most adults in the book, who treat Scout like a child, because she is one whom Scout likes to be with and talk to. ‘I spent most of the remaining twilights that summer sitting with Miss Maudie.’ This shows us that Scout, who is quite an adventures child, is very comfortable with Miss Maudie, and Miss Maudie instead of treating Scout like a child treats her more like a friend. She is given off as an auntie figure to the children and it is shown within the book that she is very fond of them as they are of her. Harper Lee shows through a metaphor that Miss Maudie is very adaptable to her surroundings. ‘A chameleon lady who worked in her flower beds in an old straw hat and men’s coveralls, but after her five o’clock bath she would appear on the porch and reign over the street in her magisterial beauty.’ The word ‘magisterial’ Harper Lee uses to describe Miss Maudie once changed from her worker appearance to her more feminine appearance makes me think of how royal she would have looked and how the sudden change would appear to everyone else within the town who saw her. Miss Maudie takes pride in the appearance of her garden as well and it seems to me that because she has no children she treats her plants like children by devoting...

...in support of the explanation which I have just offered to you?" I saw Miss Halcombe change colour, and look a little uneasy. Sir Percival's suggestion, politely as it was expressed, appeared to her, as it appeared to me, to point very delicately at the hesitation which her manner had betrayed a moment or two since. I hope, Sir Percival, you don't do me the injustice to suppose that I distrust you," she said quickly. "Certainly not, Miss Halcombe. I make my proposal purely as an act of attention to YOU. Will you excuse my obstinacy if I still venture to press it?" He walked to the writing-table as he spoke, drew a chair to it, and opened the paper case. "Let me beg you to write the note," he said, "as a favour to ME. It need not occupy you more than a few minutes. You have only to ask Mrs. Catherick two questions. First, if her daughter was placed in the Asylum with her knowledge and approval. Secondly, if the share I took in the matter was such as to merit the expression of her gratitude towards myself? Mr. Gilmore's mind is at ease on this unpleasant subject, and your mind is at ease—pray set my mind at ease also by writing the note." "You oblige me to grant your request, Sir Percival, when I would much rather refuse it." With those words Miss Halcombe rose from her place and went to the writing-table. Sir Percival thanked her, handed her a pen, and then walked away towards the fireplace. Miss Fairlie's little Italian greyhound was lying on the rug. He held out his...

...time, they may have avoided the ambush or avoided the Vbid that hit them in the bottleneck. It sounds extreme but time management plays a critical role in the Army. When you make an appointment that spot has been reserved for you. That means if you have been given the last slot someone else is going to have to wait for another one to open up. This could be one day or one month. And because you missed it someone else is still going to have to wait when they could have had that spot and been there. If you are going to miss the appointment or cannot make it due to mission they do allow us to cancel the appointment with in twenty four hours. The Army allows us to make appointments for whatever we need. Be it for a medical appointment, house goods, CIF, Smoking Sensation or whatever we need these recourses are available to us. But when Soldiers start missing appointments theses systems start to become inefficient. What a lot of Soldiers do not realize is that when they miss an appointment it does not just affect them; it affects the entire chain of command from the Squad Leader all the way to the First Sgt. When a Soldier misses an appointment the squad leader must answer for the Soldier, the Squad leader must answer to the platoon Sgt., the Platoon Sgt. Must answer to the First Sgt., and the First Sgt., must answer to the...

...24 Hours Media Fast Most people get scared of fasts and never want to do them, but not me. I was actually very excited for this fast having any form social media. During this 24 hours fasting I have given up all social media excluding phone calls and texting. Once the fast got going, I don’t think I realized how long fast would be though. But I made it through the 24hours and I learned a couple of things along the way. Although I wish I could say I made it through 24hours without any struggles, I would be lying if I said that. But that should be expected from most people as no one can simply make it through something like this without a little bit of struggles. My mood worsened and I became more lethargic. My thoughts were shaming and I began to question taking a career path that requires I stay active on social media. I shamed myself for not pursuing a career of substance and contribution. I wasn’t using the extra time for constructive activities; I was feeling sorry for myself. I missed communicating with the people I follow. I missed sharing my disconnected thoughts on Twitter. At my lowest point, I just wanted to sign on to Facebook to read status updates from people who think the Onion is a real news outlet. I missed the feeling of tumbling down the internet’s rabbit hole at 3am, just like any good addict misses their drug of choice. The question I was left to answer was this: If I don’t share my life on social media, does Wit & Delight...

...Week 2 – Discussion Lou Stout University of Saint Mary March 7, 2013 Wow! To sum this tragedy up in 250 words will be hard. Stevenson (2012) tells us that a Type II error is “concluding a process is in control when it is not” (p. 429). To categorize the decisions made on that fateful day would be to say a ‘series of errors occurred’. When reading, Deepwater: Report to the President, one can easily tell that numerous mistakes lead to the events, and that BP was aware of several maintenance issues. “A September 2009 BP safety audit had produced a 30-page list of 390 items requiring 3,545 man-hours of work” (OilSpillCommission, 2011, p.6). It is apparent to this researcher that several ‘signs’ were missed when the crews were performing the negative-pressure test. They ran the test approximately three times on the main drill pipe, all of which failed; then they ran the test on the kill line, it passed, but the main drill pipe was still holding pressure, which actually means a failure (OilSpillCommission, 2011, p.107). In reading further, this was ‘put off’ as a bladder effect, when in reality; it was mounting signs of a ‘kick’. If one continues to read the Commission’s report, it is evident that numerous errors and misses directly influenced the events of April 20, 2010. The Commission goes on to say, “What nobody appears to have noticed during those six minutes (perhaps as a result of all of the activity) was that drill-pipe pressure was increasing again (OilSpillCommission,...

...the right to see what is going on with Alex and why he never showed to this last appointment. When Alex came into the officer Maria was talking to Alex and asking him question Alex was not making eye contact with Maria while he was answering her question he was avoiding eye contact. Marias has assumed that he is hiding something from her because he was advoiding eye contact with the parole officer. Alex did miss one of his appointments but would make contact to tell her why he misses his appointment so she knows something was not right. Maria has a lot of power to get Alex in a lot of trouble. Alex seems to be nervous and doesn’t want to talk to Maria about why he wasn’t there for his appointment. In most circumstances with avoiding eye contact might also show a sign of shyness or maybe even embarrassed but in this case it show that he had done something he shouldn’t have and doesn’t want to tell Maria about it. He is advoiding it in every possible way instead of just telling her what happen or why he is making her know that something is up. If Alex would say why he miss and make eye contact he would be fine. He not making eye contact is going to get him in a lot of trouble because something is not right. Not making eye contact with someone is very disrespectful and is not right when you are talking to someone you make eye contact or if they are talking...

...The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham Author of "Of Human Bondage" THE MOON AND SIXPENCE The Moon and Sixpence Chapter I I confess that when first I made acquaintance with Charles Strickland I never for a moment discerned that there was in him anything out of the ordinary. Yet now few will be found to deny his greatness. I do not speak of that greatness which is achieved by the fortunate politician or the successful soldier; that is a quality which belongs to the place he occupies rather than to the man; and a change of circumstances reduces it to very discreet proportions. The Prime Minister out of office is seen, too often, to have been but a pompous rhetorician, and the General without an army is but the tame hero of a market town. The greatness of Charles Strickland was authentic. It may be that you do not like his art, but at all events you can hardly refuse it the tribute of your interest. He 第 1 页 共 129 页 disturbs and arrests. The time has passed when he was an object of ridicule, and it is no longer a mark of eccentricity to defend or of perversity to extol him. His faults are accepted as the necessary complement to his merits. It is still possible to discuss his place in art, and the adulation of his admirers is perhaps no less capricious than the disparagement of his detractors; but one thing can never be doubtful, and that is that he had genius. To my mind the most interesting thing in art is the personality of the artist; and if that is...

...I cannot control myself right now.” Within no minute I hear her giggle over the phone and there and then I knew she was hot for me too. All she said was, “I’m on a hot pant and a bra”. I didn’t know what to say but I just mentioned to her to kiss me through the phone. After an emotional caressing over the phone I was on top of the world naked and so horny. I told her to remove the bra and also to lower her pants, I could feel her breath increasing and her chanting how sweet it was. I told her to lower her hands and caress her tits and also to make it feel like I was the one touching her. I was getting wet so fast and so was she, and all I could hear her scream is how much she misses me.; in low tone I could hear myself screaming, “baby I miss you so much”. She then asked me, “baby I want you to remove your boxer cause I want to feel you naked”, I had a quite big smile and said to her in response, “it is already on the floor baby, lower you hands baby and touch the A spot now”. The next thing I had from her was a big mourns that made to shout too. I told her to run her hands down her stomach again and pretend it was me this time, until she finds her way to her entrance between her legs, it felt so good to me that I found myself wet, as much I was touching myself it felt pleasurable as if she was the one touching my body. I rolled sides and sides of my bed rubbing myself so hard that I...

PELICANO JAKE CARILLO MEMBERS JULIEN TOMOLAC MELODY CANONEO FEARLY VIOVICENTE CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND IT’ S SCOPE INTRODUCTION RATIONALE OF THE STUDY Having an early relationship is one of the problem of Ipil National High School. There is no good effect to their studies. It might miss an important part of your studies or an important lesson if he/she is not around. It could even miss the whole subject period.

...TURN OF THE SCREW: James, Henry TAKES PLACE IN THE COUNTRY GOVERNESS NOT CONCERNED W NATURE-ONLY WORRIED ABOUT GHOSTS NO ORGANIZED RELIGION A An anonymous narrator recalls a Christmas Eve gathering at an old house, where guests listen to one another’s ghost stories. A guest named Douglas introduces a story that involves two children—Flora and Miles—and his sister’s governess, with whom he was in love. After procuring the governess’s written record of events from his home, he provides a few introductory details. A handsome bachelor persuaded the governess to take a position as governess for his niece and nephew in an isolated country home after the previous governess died. Douglas begins to read from the written record, and the story shifts to the governess’s point of view as she narrates her strange experience. The governess begins her story with her first day at Bly, the country home, where she meets Flora and a maid named Mrs. Grose. The governess is nervous but feels relieved by Flora’s beauty and charm. The next day she receives a letter from her employer, which contains a letter from Miles’s headmaster saying that Miles cannot return to school. The letter does not specify what Miles has done to deserve expulsion, and, alarmed, the governess questions Mrs. Grose about it. Mrs. Grose admits that Miles has on occasion been bad, but only in the ways boys ought to be. The governess is reassured as she drives to meet Miles. One evening, as the governess strolls around...

...Management of Human Resources Case Study 10/8/2013 1. In my opinion I feel that Johnson does have a viable claim of disability discrimination. He had a clear and present disorder, which was proven by a physician. According to his disorder his levels of stress and tension can rise under certain conditions, so he should have been accommodated to get his transfer so that he could be used properly and be helpful to the company. Yes he does have a claim retaliatory discharge because the only talk of him being terminated came about when he missed the meeting for design changes, which he had to miss due to personal problems. 2. Although his personal reasons may have been serious, yes it will affect the case because he was not willing to reveal them. If he were to just discuss or briefly let them know what the reasons were they might have been willing to work with him or accept them. The company might have been understandable and not taken this matter so seriously 3. In a way yes Johnson was being insubordinate. Although his personal matters are his own and he has the right to keep them private, yet as I stated before if he were willing to cooperate to a certain extent it could have helped in his favor. To management and human resources it may have looked that he was only blowing them off and really caring about what was going on. 4. I think the court decided to favor in the company. Johnson was very persistent and stern with his case of disability and discrimination...
