...beings. The only reason why some of the members of the tribe are being a danger to the modern people is that they feel threaten. It’s saddening that slowly the tribes are disappearing and that some people just forget about them like they never existed. Well honestly, they are not the only ones that will be gone but the beautiful surroundings that they are also trying to preserve. Like the forest in Brazil, it is the Surui Indian tribe who are protecting this from the illegal loggers. Their lives are being threatened and they have no one protecting them from it except with their beliefs. It’s really a relief that they have Almir Suri who is part of their tribe and is really trying to fight for the tribe’s survival. Even though he had study in a nice university outside their place, he hasn’t forgotten where he came from and is still ready to help them grow more. Also, I think Almir is trying to show the world that he can also put up with the abilities of the modern people, that even though he started from being a member of a tribe whose life is just simple yet civilized, he knows what the overall people...

...Be Nice To Her - Essay “Be Nice to Her“- is the title of the short story first published in Canada 1984. The title is an often mention quote in the short story. The quote is a recommendation that the 8 year old main character, Elizabeth, received from her mother. A recommendation that quickly escalated to a request, and finally an order as she kept disobeying her mother. She failed to adjust to the order her mother had commanded due to many regular fears that the mind of a child can have - the primary ones in this case being: Group pressure and the fear of one day becoming the victim. The author, the narrator and the main character is the same person, her name is Elizabeth. Elizabeth was kind of chubby and in addition to that she wore glasses. The nickname, sucky, had sticked to her ever since kindergarten because she enjoyed sucking her thumb. She had reached the third grade, and the mild form of bullying had died out over time. Luckily for Elizabeth the chances of getting picked on again was very slim - an even chubbier, shorter girl with bigger glasses was in her class, her name was Celia. Besides not having the ideal look and personality to fit into her third grade class, she was also diagnosed with diabetes (at this point in time an incurable disease). Her class mates didn’t want to play with her during recess, only if she agreed to be the ender when they were skipping. After school the other girls didn’t want to walk with her, they always outran her. They didn’t want...

...Book Review: Nice Guys Can Get the Corner Office What is this book about? In the book Nice Guy Can Get the Corner Office, the author challenged the adage “Nice guys finish last.” He believed that a guy can be nice and successful at business at the same time. The subtitle would tell us better about what’s in this book: "Eight Strategies for Winning in Business without Being a Jerk." The author defines “nice” as a constructive and consciously chosen approach to relationships that is founded on: * Attempting to optimize outcomes for both others and ourselves * Striving to balance assertiveness with cooperation to achieve a spirit of collaboration * Honoring the value and strength of others and ourselves * Seeking optimal outcomes for everyone involved by emphasizing truthfulness and authenticity * Opening confronting challenges and disagreements and embracing the innovation-promoting benefits of constructive idea conflict The author also defines “success in business” as need are fulfilled—individual’s need as well as the needs of others. The authors surveyed more than 350 nice guys and found out that most of them are “too nice”. And these overly nice guys are always struggling between “eager to please others” (being too nice) and “fulfill their own needs (being successful in business).” This book gives eight strategies to help those overly nice guys balance being nice and being a jerk when achieving success. These eight strategies consists of eight rights...

...What Every MBA Student in the World Needs to Know Sandeep Krishnamurthy http://faculty.washington.edu/sandeep 1 Management ≠ analysis. What you are learning in school is analysis. You are being taught tools and techniques. Analysis is just one of the ingredients in the recipe. You may have the best analysis in the room. However, if your analysis is not heard and taken seriously, it is of no value. Too often, talented people with the best answers sit in the back of the room while hacks run the show. If you enjoy the view from the back, getting an MBA will not change anything. A MBA degree only works if you are willing to transform yourself. Are you? 2 Einstein would have been a terrible manager. There is a huge misconception among students that being smart is the way to be successful. Let me break this to you. It is not about being smart. There are many smart people who are absolutely incompetent managers. Not to mention the fact that many smart people are first-rate jerks. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you have to be dumb to succeed. What I am saying is that you do not have to be a Mensan to make it to the top. All you need is average intelligence. But, you need other qualities. 3 Bill Clinton would have been an excellent manager. The man had his faults. But, he could communicate like few others. Bad managers are, frequently, terrible communicators. They have good ideas. They simply don’t know how to get them across. You cannot lead, motivate or sell if you cannot...

...desirable neighbors. It is a fact that all of us have our own difficulties and nothing is more meaningful than a hand given to us in time of need. For instance, when you are busy organizing a get-together with all members in your family but the fact that you have forgotten to purchase one of the most important ingredients threatens to ruin your main dish. However, you can easily have the neighbors to travel to the market and buy it for you. That’s an accurate picture of a helpful neighbor who you should be grateful to. Furthermore, a kind neighbor from my point of view would have the quality of sympathy. Having someone to care about you and share their feelings with you is necessary when you are experiencing a tough time in life . For example, a nice neighbor to a widow who has just lost her husband in a terrible accident must help her to overcome with grief. There may be cases where there are children whose their parents got dirvoced. In such cases, a good neighbor is required to treat them equally to other kids instead of gossiping anything about them. In addition to helpfulness and sympathy, a neighbor who possess a sense of integrity would be perfect. I can endure the fact that there are some two-faced people who always steal my properties such as water, electricity supply and even illegaly use my wireless internet connection. To sum up, my portrait of an obliging neighbor must be a caring, sympathetic and trustworthy...

My first day at college is an important event of my life. To me it is an unforgettable day. During my school days. I had a glimpse of college life from my elder brothers and sisters. I was most curiously awaiting the day when I would start my college life. I thought that the college life would offer me a free life; here restrictions would be few and threat of teachers would be little. At last the longed for day came in.

...REFLECTION ESSAY Reading and writing do not come easy to me. It’s not that I don’t read well; it’s difficult to find material that interests me. As for writing, I write how I speak, so I don’t think I’m very good at it. Although, because The Norton Reader has such a variety of essays, I found it much easier to appreciate and understand than most books referred to me by friends and family. I chose to read the following * “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, because I saw a documentary a few years ago called “Dive!” and wanted to understand the reasons of why people do it. Is it because they are experimenting (for a documentary) or because they have no other choice? * “On Keeping a Notebook” by Joan Didion, because I kept a journal when I was young and I’d like to start again. I thought maybe this essay would give me some tips on doing so. * “Once More to the Lake” by E.B. White, because I thought it would be a good read. The challenges I found were few. My biggest issue was my kids. With college starting one week before the rest of the Northwest, entertaining my twin, 7 year-old boys, in their last week of summer, and managing coursework for three classes, was a huge challenge. Even with them entertaining themselves was a huge distraction because of all the noise they make, indoors and out. Noise reducing headphones seemed to do the trick, but then I constantly worried about what mischief they could be getting themselves into. I also found it difficult to...

...Writing a Descriptive Essay Directions An essay has the same elements as a well-written paragraph. A paragraph has a topic sentence; an essay has a thesis statement. A paragraph is developed with supporting statements; an essay has three paragraphs based on the thesis statement's supporting ideas. A paragraph has a concluding sentence; an essay has a concluding paragraph. An introduction does two things: it gets your reader's attention, and it presents the thesis statement. The thesis statement identifies the topic of the essay. Look at the introductions below Example #1 If we were to place the body of every teenager who died in an alcohol-related accident in the last five years endto-end, the line would circle the globe three times. Every year, hundreds of teenagers lose their lives because of drunk drivers. Driving drunk is a growing problem in our society, and the consequences are great. Example #2 Hundreds of teenagers lose their lives because of drunk drivers. It is a problem that affects students in every school in America. Driving drunk is a growing problem in our society because more and more teens are drinking and then driving without considering the serious consequences that could result from their actions. These consequences include financial burdens, sorrow caused to those losing loved ones, and the senseless reduction of our greatest natural resource: our young people. Which introduction catches your interest and pulls you into the text? Hopefully...

...[DON’T NEED THIS EXTRA LINE.] Since the very beginning of my days as a student, I have despised literature. English has always been a subject that I dreaded. I do not loathe literature solely for my lack of writing skills, because I do enjoy reading, rather it’s the fact that I tend to lose my train of thought while writing an essay or while brainstorming an idea I want to address. I struggle with organizing my thoughts and making concise relationsHIPS[?][CONNECTIONS?] between literary texts and the assignments given by my teachers. The only time I do enjoy writing is when I can write freely in my journal. By writing in a journal, I do not worry about the grammar and organized aspect of writingCOMMA and it clears my mind. I find that I am able to write what I feel [easier ]MORE EASILY in my private journal versus writing an essay that will be graded.

...Being more of an argumentative writer, I felt a lot more comfortable writing this essay than the first essay; although this was still an analytical paper, it definitely had some argumentative aspects in it. Writing in general is not my strong suit, but I feel that I really improved my sentence flow and my ability to incorporate quote in my essay. One of the parts of my essay that I am particularly happy with is my introductory paragraph. For me, the introductions and conclusions are the hardest parts of an essay; you have to introduce the topic and explain your stance, but you also don’t want to say too much so you won’t end up being repetitive throughout your essay. I feel like my introduction provides just enough information to interest the...

...have a good, well thought out essay. * Outlining, I believe this is very important for the writing process because it helps you write your ideas down so that way when you go to do the writing you have all the ideas and thoughts down right in front of you. * Drafting, this is really where all the thoughts and ideas come out on paper so that way you can put them together and perform a legit letter, essay, etc. I think that when you go through and write these drafts it makes it easier to find the mistakes and fix them before the actually writing * Revising and editing, this step to me is very important to me because it gives the person the chance to fix any mistakes and make new improvements and add things they think need to be there. * Editing this is very important because it helps you find mistakes and learn from them so you will already know when it comes to doing your first real essay. It is important to follow a structured writing process when writing an essay because it will help you a lot with writing and show you step by step how to write a successful essay.

...Throughout all of high school, students are taught in minimal ways to produce “perfect” essays and present them so that when they get to college they can pass their classes. This means that high school teachers only teach them to write so specifically and in such a hard structured manner, that many students hardly ever learn to write papers that flow. In high school, I always wrote really nice papers that my teachers enjoyed grading, however, I always hated writing them because if I did not use the cookie cutter format that they gave us, my teachers would not accept the work. The format that I am referring to goes as follows: hook, introduction, and thesis for paragraph one, three body paragraphs with two examples to support your thesis in each paragraph, and finally a conclusion ("Essay Template"). In total, there were five paragraphs, never any more, and never any less. The hook was always supposed to be a quote related to the topic or a factual piece of information...

...An essay on marshmallow I shall now enrich your life by sharing with you about marshmallow. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of marshmallow. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. Since it was first compared to antidisestablishmentarianism much has been said concerning marshmallow by so called 'babies', many of whom blame the influence of television. Keeping all of this in mind, in this essay I will examine the major issues. Social Factors Society begins and ends with marshmallow. When Sir Bernard Chivilary said 'hounds will feast on society' [1] he globalised an issue which had remained buried in the hearts of our ancestors for centuries. Spanning divides such as class, race and uglyness, marshmallow bravely illustrates what we are most afraid of, what we all know deep down in our hearts. Our post-literate society, more than ever before, relies upon marshmallow. To put it simply, people like marshmallow. Economic Factors Derived from 'oikonomikos,' which means skilled in household management, the word economics is synonymous with marshmallow. Of course, marshmallow fits perfectly into the Inter-Spam model. Taking special care to highlight the role of marshmallow within the vast framework which this provides. |National |[pic] | |Debt | | ...
