...One of Sean’s personality is that he is a moron because he want to get an art scholarship, but doesn't know how making a glass sculpture. And the thing I question myself throughout the story is why is Sean is interested to get an art scholarship if he can't make a glass sculpture and should he be interested in another subject that he actually good at? Sean is a moron because in the book it said that his parent told him that he is a moron because he shouldn't do art and they wouldn’t support him and he should do something that he is good at. My reason why he is a moron is because if he really want to get an art scholarship and he’s actually doing good at art, it should be easy for him making a glass sculpture. It’s simple logic for me and...

...Background of the Study Chocolate moron is a Philippine snack food originally produced in Eastern Visayas. This food is a glorious chocolaty “kakanin” wrapped in the usual banana leaf patterned in a cylindrical shape about 1 inch in diameter with four inches length. This staple comfort food is a signatured-sweet native delicacy product in Eastern Visayas and is considered as one of the “pasalubong” items in the region. Through early records, it is evident that chocolate moron traces its origin way back in Spanish times along with the prefatory influences on how other “kakanins” like suman, suman-latik, binagol and the like are produced which are of similar method of preparation to that of chocolate moron. Chocolate moron is a distinctive product prepared, and sold exclusively in Eastern Visayas. Most of the buyers or consumers of this product are tourists visiting the region from time to time. Mode of selling of this product comes in a retail and wholesale depending on the size or bulk of purchase. Since then, it has been the favorite by many due to its nutritious value, affordability and unique taste among all other “kakanins” in the region. This study is centralized or focused on the native delicacy, “chocolate moron” since the researchers would like to explore or expound how the marketing system goes along with this type of product. Basically, this paper will discuss relatively the product itself, prices currently existing or implemented in the market, place or its positioning...

Holden doesn’t even realize that he lies so much, but the reason he lies so much is because he wants to make himself appeal more interesting to hide his pain. He’s still hurt from the death of his younger brother Allie, who died when they were both kids. It’s a cry for help. Secondly, Holden is also condescending. He constantly calling or thinking everyone around him is a moron. For a 16 year old, this is an elementary school way of expressing anger and frustration....

He acts like an adult but he doesn't want to have the same life like every other adult. One way he likes like an adult is he drinks like one. He represents what most other kids feel when they're growing up. Holden is poisoned to entering the adult world even know he acts like one but he just doesn't want to face that he's growing up. We see him acting like an adult when he curses throughout the story because we all know that if someone curses it's cool and that's what adults do. He says “Sonuvabitch”, “Crap, “Damn” and “Goddamn”. In chapter 7 holden says sleep tight ya morons! He always calls people morons he even says “morons don't like it when you call them morons” in chapter 6. He also fears entering a world with phonies he talks about phonies the whole book. He says “One of the biggest reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies. That's all. They were coming in the goddamn window” in chapter 2 page 61. Then he hates movies...

...Factual Scenario 1 Jeremy Jip is not considered Lulu’s employee. Based on the criteria used by the courts to decide whether a worker is categorized as an employee or independent contractor, Jeremy wouldn’t be considered Lulu’s employee. He would be considered an independent contractor because Lulu has no control over the details of Jeremy’s work performance. She does not exercise considerable control of his work, his occupation is distinctly different from that of Lulu’s, his work is usually done without supervision, Lulu does not supply his tools for his occupation, and the job that he’s hired for requires a high degree of skill. Also, his term of employment is only until the house is sold and his one-time fee is paid at the completion of the sale. According to the text, an independent contractor is “a person who contracts with another to do something for him or her but who is not controlled by the other nor subject to the others right to control with respect to his or her physical conduct in the performance of the undertaking. He or she may not be an agent” (Clarkson, Miller, Cross, 2012, p. 625). Lulu is not liable for Mary and Ollie’s injuries because, even though Jeremy Jip is an agent representing LuLu Lowlife, his day to day activities are still those of an independent contractor, not an employee. According to the text “To determine whether the relationship of the parties is that of employer and servant or that of employer and independent contractor, the primary test...

...The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, like many other great works, was met by scornful criticism and unyielding admiration. However, many literary critics also admired Salinger's use of language, which is used to make Holden Caulfield, the protagonist, extremely realistic. Such language includes repetition of phrases, blatant cursing, and bold statements in order to capture the informal speech of the average, northern American adolescent. Through Holden's thoughts and dialogues, Salinger successfully created a teenage boy that changed the literary world. The language used in The Catcher in the Rye has long been a topic of controversy to literary critics. Holden Caulfield's thoughts and comments serve to deepen his personality and to provide entertainment. Salinger wants to create a typical teenager while keeping Holden as an individual at the same time. Like most teenagers, Holden speaks in trite sentences. However, he also uses words in places that were then uncommon. Holden often leaves his sentences dangling with words like "and all" and "or anything." Salinger intentionally used such speech repetition to individualize Holden, and, at the same time, make him a believable teenager of the early 1950s. Moreover, Holden has other expressions that appear consistently throughout the novel. In some places, the expressions only serve to make Holden more realistic, while in other places Holden is trying to reinforce his values. Holden repeatedly comments on his hatred towards...

...sixteen then, and I'm seventeen now, and sometimes I act like I'm about thirteen.” (Salinger 9). In the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” the main character Holden Caulfield struggles between acting like an adult and acting like a child. Whether he’s out avoiding all of his problems or he’s trying to get a waiter to bring him an alcoholic drink even though he is under age, Holden acted like a child. Holden is seventeen during the time he is telling us about the things he did when he was sixteen and throughout the whole novel he is continuously doing childish things. In chapter six when his roommate, Stradlater, had come home from his date with Jane, Holden was purposely trying to annoy Stradlater by calling him a moron. He knew Stradlater did not like being called a moron so he said it as a sort of defense, not only did he start calling names but he also tried to bunch Stradlater. Holden resorted to calling names and physical contact when he could have just as easily told Stradlater that he did not like the idea of him going out with Jane....

...Political correctness allows us to interact with others without having the risk of offending them. From my observations when different types people of different ages interact with each other, while a particular term like “moron” is frequently used in a person’s language when talking with family and friends, freely dropping the word around when in the presence of other strangers may lead to a slight discomfort. Because some people associate a negative connotation with the term or even go as far as deeming it taboo to mention it, talking with a fellow classmate or co-worker who readily incorporates “moron” in his/her everyday speech leads to a feeling of isolation and loneliness. However, a particular case like this can easily be fixed by implementing political correctness policies, therefore effectively limiting all of the seemingly offensive and slang words that are both hurtful and disrespectful. A normal conversation can then be held, bridging the gap of separation due to the differences in everyday language. Besides, words like “cripple” and “house-wife” do not really have much significance in the English language anyways. In other words, there are...

...admits that it looked, “very corny”(Salinger xxx) but says he, “liked it that way”(Salinger XXXXX). This is an example of Holden very nonchalantly expressing an idea of individualism among his peers. By admitting the hat looks corny but contrasting that statement with the fact that he likes it, Holden conveys that he knows he is different and is comfortable with that as long as he isn’t among others. Another example of this happened as Holden left Pency. Holden says,”I put my red hunting hat on, and turned the peak around to the back, the way I liked it, and then I yelled at the top of my goddam voice,”Sleep tight, ya morons!” I’ll bet I woke up every bastard on the whole floor”(Salenger XXX). Although it seems counterintuitive this arrogance is an example of the individuality and isolation Holden feels. By putting on the hat and calling his classmates morons he is implementing an idea of superiority to his peers. It is this idea of superiority that makes Holden feel isolated and alienated from his peers. This individuality isn't necessarily a good thing and makes Holden alienated. These examples show examples of Holden’s individuality and isolation that is caused by...

...to join him for a drink. This being an example of Holden being a phony himself. Holden accusing people he doesn’t know of being phony is one thing, but when he accuses someone he knows and even friends with of being phony it is very hypocritical of him. Stradlater, one of Holden’s roomates is a person that knows Holden very well. He even knows what kind of person Holden is and what to say to get him to do things like when he made Holden write his paper. Stradlater according to Holden is a phony because he always seems friendly and greets people friendly even to people he doesn’t like, even Ackley. Holden however acts very phony because after calling Stradlater a phony and a moron he does Stradlater’s paper for him while he goes out on a date. This is very two-sided and ironic because if Stradlater was a moron then the best possible thing for Stradlater to do is to write his own paper. Also Holden fed into Stradlater’s phony compliments so he could write his paper. Holden sometimes is very misleading with whom he calls phony. He calls nearly everyone in the book phony, and half the people he calls phony are people that he had once had good relations with. Sally Hayes, a very great friend of Holden is also another victim of Holden’s phony rant. Holden believes Sally is a phony because after he takes her to a show, Holden says that Sally tries to impress a Ivy league guy named George. by using phony words like “grand” and “marvelous”. This thought is countered however because when...

...Prejudice can be caused because of various reasons. Religion, ethnic race and social status are examples of causes of prejudice. Sometimes prejudice is caused by how we are raised. Many times parents pass on prejudice beliefs to their children. A lot people raised in the southern part of the country are prejudice against blacks. In the early to mid 1960’s, prejudice was alive and well in the south. Blacks had their own bathrooms and were forced to ride in the back of city busses. It’s hard to believe that was doing on only 40 years ago. A lot of Middle Eastern countries are very prejudice against women. The Civil War was based on prejudice beliefs. The North wanted to keep slavery and the South wanted to abolish slavery. Many blacks were beat, raped and killed just because of the color of their skin. Schools in the 1950’s were segregated. Some students were forced to ride buses for many miles to prevent whites and blacks from attending the same school. Finally segregation was introduced. It caused a lot of problems, including some riots but eventually people learned to live together and I believe it ended up being a good thing for people and out country. Slavery was stopped shortly after the Civil War but it did not stop people from being prejudice. The only way to stop prejudice is to teach all children from a young age to respect all people. Sometimes parents are not the right people to teach their children because they are already set in their ways and will never change....

...however this also warrants them of being titled supreme Moron. This is just because of the fact that if they say that they have no idea what they are talking about, or they are just liars, either way they are wrong. Data collected and posted on Just Facts.Com shows a period after an unconstitutional handgun ban with data showing the amount of homicides committed with handguns. Before the handgun ban "48% of all murders in Chicago were committed with handguns." This shows that about 1 out of 2 people murdered was killed by a handgun. This is a large amount I won't lie, in this case though people would have a means to defend themselves, and that’s why it was not over 48%. However, in all irony, after the ban "59% of all murders in Chicago were committed with handguns." To me this data is not surprising because it makes sense if you ask, who is committing these murders. Criminals of course who don’t fallow the laws anyway. So, with handguns being ban it doesn’t affect them because criminals will be criminals and get handguns some other way. The only people that are affected are the people that are law abiding citizens who will have no handgun to defend themselves from the criminals that murder them. The thing that really surprises me about this is how successful these people were at failing to prevent handgun murders. So, if anyone is still for gun control do not use this argument unless you want to look like a supreme moron. Firearms have been part of American Culture since the...

...UK RIOTS 2011 Between the 6th and 11th of August 2011 thousands of people rioted in cities across England participating in looting, arson and vandalism. The rioting occurred after a peaceful demonstration on the 4th of August in Tottenham over the death of local 29-year-old father of four Mark Duggan who was a victim of a still-unresolved shooting by the police. 1. Text 1 “Experts Cite Underlying Causes for UK Riots” is a news report by Al Pessin published on Voice of America website the 10th of August 2011. The report consists of people giving an estimate of the causes for the UK riots. The inhabitants of London believe at first sight the riots are a response in reaction to lack of jobs and cuts in government services following a feeling of despondency and hopelessness. First hand witnesses reports that such is not the case. Chris Hamnett works as a geography professor at King’s College London. He explains the hectic restlessness in London by saying the inhabitants of African and Caribbean origin are more likely to participate in demonstrations than other Britons judged by their economic -, social – and cultural capital. He points out the connection between these ethnic groups and their criminal records. Hamnett partly agrees with Basani Mabyalane neighboring and Erika Lopez, who is a member of HYPE. They are convinced, that the looting is a result of boredom and poor empowering of young people. Prime Minister David Cameron blames the involved and cites the schools and...
