...CONTRACT ANALYSIS 2 Upon reviewing the facts outlined in the Contract Analysis Case Study I would not continue to conduct business with Marshal. He has demonstrated character flaws and poor business practices to such a point that I do not feel comfortable continuing to do business with him. Besides the fact that he is frequently late making payments within the required 30 day time period, he fraudulently entered into a requirements agreement with a part-time employee that lacks the power to bind my company in contract. By electing to stop doing business with Marshal it is possible that he will bring legal action against my company. He may claim that my son failed to cancel the contract within a reasonable period of time after reaching the age of 18 and that the contract is now considered ratified, binding, and enforceable (Stim, 2011). He may also argue that the agreement was made in good faith as it would benefit both his health food business and my company. Furthermore, he may argue that...

...The Analysis 1. The novel “Theatre” was written by a famous English writer of the 20th century William Somerset Maugham in 1937. He was the master of story-telling. He could convey human relationships and feelings with a startling reality. The main theme of his works is the conflict of a creative person with the society. Maugham’s English is clear and lucid, his characters are recognizable, and this makes his books so popular. 2. This extract is about Dolly de Vries. She was a rich widow and Michael and Julia asked her for help, she agreed because she was interested in Julia and admired her talent. But she didn’t much like Michael. He was sure that Dolly might put up the money they needed, but he knew that she might do it only for Julia but not for him. Julia refused to approach her. But when they were going to spend the week-end with Dolly, he urged Julia to seize the opportunity that the week-end presented. Julia explained that people financed plays for two reasons, either because they wanted notoriety, or because they were in love with someone. But Michael had never even thought that Dolly was in love with him. He was very surprised when Julia told him that it was not he whom Dolly loved. He didn’t believe it. 3. This extract belongs to the belles-lettres functional style, the main purpose of which is to give the readers aesthetic pleasure, to make them think and entertain by appealing to their emotions.

...what I wanted my topic to be. After having multiple discussions centered around gender roles and taking adequate notes on gender role, I felt that it only made sense to write my essay on the topic I had already done so much research on. However, my stance on gender roles had shifted. At first, I believed that there was no “superior gender” in the book and that both sexes demonstrated adaptability. But, after I briefly mentioned this position to my well-read teacher and was told that this stance would be difficult to support within the word limit, I decided to change my approach; the women of the Joad family demonstrated they were the strongest sex by providing stability to their family. At first, I knew that Ma was going to be a focal point of my essay because I learned a lot through the discussions, however to meet the requirement of a pattern I needed a second example. I learned through briefly skimming over the book that Rose of Sharon was just what I was looking for. Austin Rodriguez, my friend and colleague, reviewed my essay. His revisions were mostly grammar related...

...Symbols in "The Scarlet Letter" A In “The Scarlet Letter,” symbols appear everywhere. Hawthorne uses several different concrete objects to represent something of deeper meaning. Among these symbols is the scarlet letter "A" itself. It is made of red cloth and beautifully embroidered. It is a literal symbol of the sin of adultery. The letter "A" appears in several places and several forms. It is the letter that appears on Hester's heart that she is condemned to wear for the remainder of her life. At Governor Bellingham's mansion it is magnified in the breastplate. It seems as though she is hidden behind it. On the night that Dimmesdale stands on the scaffold with Hester and Pearl, a huge letter A appears in the sky. Later, while in the forest, Pearl arranges a letter a on her heart that is made of eel grass. One of the most dramatic of the A's that appear in the book is the A that appears on Dimmesdale's chest. Not only does the "A" symbolize adultery, but it also has several other meanings to the different characters as well. To the community, it is simply a mark of punishment. To Hester, it is a mark of embarrassment and humiliation. To Dimmesdale, the scarlet letter is a reminder of his own guilt. To Pearl, the mark is a mysterious curiosity. To Chillingworth, the "A" is his chance to get revenge on Dimmesdale. Later, the letter symbolizes "Able" when Hester wins some respect from the townspeople. The scarlet letter is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead it becomes...

...Physicians, and Medicine During the Elizabethan Time The Elizabethan time period was from 1558 through 1603 known as the Renaissance. During the Renaissance there was not any running water, so people would have to throw their waste in the streets. With people’s waste in the street came many illnesses including The Plague. Even a minor scrap could kill you in the next minute. When people got sick they needed medicine, physicians, and health care. In the late 1500 there was not a great deal medican, there was mostly just spiritual analysis. One of the key figures of the medical world was Andreas Vesalius who became Professor of surgery and anatomy at the University of Padua, when he was only twenty three. In most detail Vesalius showed that...

...disputed in recent years). Freud reportedly admired Aristotle's assertion that dreaming is the activity of the mind during sleep (Fine, 1973). It was perhaps the use of the term activity that Freud most appreciated in this brief definition for, as his understanding of the dynamics of dreaming increased, so did the impression of ceaseless mental activity differing in quality from that of ordinary waking life (Fine, 1973). In fact, the quality of mental activity during sleep differed so radically from what we take to be the essence of mental functioning that Freud coined the term Kingdom of the Illogical to describe that realm of the human psyche. This technique of dream-interpretation allowed him to penetrate (Fine, 1973). We dream every single night whether it stays with us or not. It is a time when our minds bring together material which is kept apart during out waking hours (Anonymous, 1991). As...

...Book Review: Andrew Ross Sorkin's Too Big To Fail The financial struggles of 2008 led to myriad books on why the crack-up occurred, and many have been reviewed here. Andrew Ross Sorkin, a writer for the New York Times, approaches what happened differently. He has written a very interesting behind-the-scenes account of the people within government and finance who saw the crisis up close. For those interested in what went down behind closed doors, Sorkin's “ Too Big To Fail” is essential. Thanks to his global access to the individuals involved, the interested reader can expand his or her knowledge about the events behind the events. Too Big To Fail begins in riveting fashion at J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's Park Avenue apartment the day before the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Having spent part of the previous evening at the New York Fed, Dimon knew better than most what was ahead, and in a conference call with his top lieutenants, Dimon dismissed the view - one held by Lehman CEO Richard Fuld no less - that the prominent investment bank would be saved by Washington. Dimon's take was "That's wishful thinking. There is no way, in my opinion, that Washington is going to bail out an investment bank. Nor should they (my emphasis)." Instead, Dimon told the listeners on the call that "We need to prepare right now for Lehman Brothers filing. And for Merrill Lynch filing. And for AIG filing. And for Morgan Stanley filing." Before each company mention Dimon paused, then paused...

App. 83, 567 S.E.2d 728 Court of Appeals of Georgia No. A02A0359, Decided June 24, 2002 Parties & Procedural History: Trial Court level: Plaintiff Lumpkin sues Defendant Mellow Mushroom. Defendant filed summary judgment motion, and court granted judgment in favor of Defendant. Facts: Eighteen-year old Christian Lumpkin died from injuries he sustained when he fell out of a Jeep driven by his friend, Seth Calloway. Mellow Mushroom was known among Christian’s peers as an establishment that served beer to underage patrons. On the evening of June 7, 2000, Christian sat at Mellow Mushroom’s bar and drank beer. It is unclear how much beer Christian consumed, but several witnesses who had seen him that night reported that he did not appear to be drunk, while another stated that he may have been “mildly” intoxicated. Christian left Mellow Mushroom at approximately 12:30 AM and drove to Callaway’s house. Once there, he and Calloway decided to buy some beer and visit a friend. They went to the store in Callaway’s Jeep, which did not have a passenger side door. Callaway drove, and Christian sat in the passenger seat. During the drive to the friend’s house, Christian unbuckled his seat belt, and began hanging out of the Jeep. At some point, Christian apparently lost his grip and fell out of the Jeep. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Plaintiff’s Cause of Action: negligence Issue: A person who willfully...
