...Wilfred Owen, right at the start, informs the reader that the soldier is physically disabled, “legless, sewn at elbow”. “Waiting for dark” ‘dark’ creates a reference that not only he is waiting for the end of the day, but for the end of his time, ‘dark’ could also represent how the solider feels on the inside, empty, because due to his disability he can’t live life like he wants to, the ‘dark’-ness could also shield the soldier from the harsh reality of war as he can’t see it. The soldier reminiscences about his childhood; listening to the sounds of children. “Till gathering sleep had mothered them from him” implies that he is alluding to the end of their gleeful joy and innocence. The soldier feels nostalgic about his childhood. He could be feeling slightly jealous of these children as they still have their innocence and naivety where as for him war has robbed that from him. The soldier can dream no more because he knows the harsh reality. The words ‘dark’, ‘shivered’, ‘ghastly’ and ‘grey’ shows the loneliness and isolation of the soldier; this is seen as a sharp contrast to “About this time Town used to swing so gay” and “glow-lamps budded in the light blue trees” shows a sense of euphoria this implies that the days of romance and youth are all just a distant memory for the soldier, gone forever and he is without any joy or happiness. “Before he threw this knees away” highlights the fact that his loss of limbs did not lead him to any honour or sacrifice, it was like the...

...In this essay I will be discussing the point,” How does Steinbeck explore the use of dreams in Of Mice and Men”. I will review what each main character’s dreams are and how they attempted to fulfil or fulfilled their dreams, and how Steinbeck displays different emotions and sways how the reader feels about the novel. After this, I will compare how the irony of the title to how the book ends. The theme of the novel is set in the 1930’s, and the novel plays out over a period of around 3 days, with it starting with best friends George and Lennie out in the wild, with nothing. The first character I am going to review is George and what his original dreams are, and how far he has come to them by the end of the novel. He is the first character introduced and shows simple understanding of basic common sense (something which his partner-in-crime doesn’t have), “Lennie, for God’ sakes don’t drink so much”. Lennie at this point is drinking from a “green pool”, and George immediately realises the dangers and tells Lennie what to do, which is a sign of things to come. Georges dream is basically a carbon copy of the “the American dream”, and he realises that it is possible for himself and Lennie to achieve the dream – because he thinks (and perhaps more to the point hopes) that a combination of his brains, and Lennie’s brute force (which is plain to see throughout the novel) will lead them to where they want to be. Although at the end of the novel George has to kill Lennie, he decides to...

...Mary Quant: A woman who completed women and the youth culture During the 1960s, although Great Britain was referred as the empire on which the sun never sets, the nation itself was too busy in replicating and imitating culture and arts of France. Even the young nation, United States had the victory of seizing hegemony right after World War 2, which hurt the Great Britain’s pride. Not only the nation itself but also the people of Great Britain desperately wanted something “British-like,” something of their own. Furthermore, the social issues for wanting individualism, having a will to express their own selves, and second wave of feminism, more liberated life styles for women, erupted across the Western countries. New definitions of youth and femininity were epitomized through fashion typically created by Mary Quant, a British fashion designer. She had not only helped translating a generation of women, but also helped the failing British fashion industry into a thriving commercialism. Mary Quant was born in London, 1934. She studied illustration at Goldsmith College of Art and met her future husband, Alexander Plunket Greene and a former solicitor, Archie Mcnair. When she failed to become an art teacher, she teamed up with her husband and Mcnair to open up a boutique called Bazaar in Kings Road, London. In the beginning, she planned to buy clothes from the private wholesalers and sell it as retail items at her boutique, but with the limited designs, which...

...TEXTS AND COMPOSERS: Tim Winton’s – On Her Knees Topic: Importance of Dignity: Every person in this world is dignified in their own way; whether it is their riches, power, friends, family or even the smallest and most insignificant things, alot of things bring pride and dignity to one’s self. ”Pride” is an essential part of life as it gives self esteem and a feeling of self importance. Good morning/afternoon classmates; today I’ll be talking to you about the importance of dignity within Tim Winton’s “On Her Knees”. “On Her knees” is a powerful story that teaches and reinforces Tim Winton’s view of the true meaning of dignity. He accomplishes this through the use of “first person” making the text seem like an auto-biography of Carol, making her personal experiences seem more authenticated. Whether this story may be based on a true story or not, many of the occurrences within this short story are great examples of “The Importance Of Dignity”. Carol (the mother of Victor), quits her job as a specialized employee in a medical office, and instead becomes a maid to pay off her son’s law school fees. Victor during these troubled times feels guilty but most importantly feels that Carol’s dignity is devalued, perhaps even destroyed due to the fact that she cleans other peoples houses “on her knees”. Victor does not understand how Carol could do things to such an extent, despite having done so for his sake, as he understands that it is hurting his mother’s pride as a once respected...

...If you completed the LEAD Self instrument, would you be able to assess your leader's style? Why, or why not? With the LEAD Self instrument for leadership studies I can measure the three aspects of leaders’ behavior. First one is 'leadership style'. In this measurement, leadership style can be divided into primary style and secondary style. In primary style of leadership, leaders are more comfortable and most likely to use basic behavioral pattern when attempting to influence the activities of others. On the other hand, in secondary style of leadership, leaders are not comfortable with their styles so that they tend to use on occasion when the favorite style or primary style doesn’t work. Second one is 'style range or flexibility'. Style range is the extent to which leaders are able to vary their leadership styles. Leaders differ in their ability in different situations. Although different leaders have different leadership styles, some leaders tend to be effective only in one leadership style and some tend to be good more than one leadership style according to the situations. This kind of measurement could be helpful for assessing leaders’ leadership styles. Third one is 'style adaptability.Style adaptability refers to the degree to which leaders are able to vary their style appropriately to the demand of a given situation. In this measure, it doesn’t matter which styles are going to be used, but it only matters how this style is going to fit the situation. Thus, adaptability...

...the project after a certain given time, forecast the cost and completion time of the project, analyzing the differences in the budget and schedule as the project progresses. Earned Value Analysis compares the planned work by the stakeholders with what have actually been achieved by the Scanner Project to determine if the schedule, cost, and accomplished work is progressing according to the plan. Work completed by the Scanner Project is said to be ‘Earned Value' (EV) while what we planned to use on the project is the Planned Value (PV) and Actual Value (AV) is the real value which was spent on the completed project. Planned Value, Actual Value and Earned Value were then used to calculate the project Cost Variance and Schedule Variance for each activity, Cost Variance (CV) is what was completed by the project compared to the project activity planned cost while Schedule Variance (SV) is the work completed by the project compared to the planned schedule. The whole Scanner had planned to spend 420 on the whole project but upon completion the Scanner Project value of the work completed was 395 while the costs incurred in completing all the project activities was 476. On calculating the Schedule Variance by getting the difference between Earned value and Planned Value the SV for the whole project was -25 which means that the project was behind schedule and more time was spent on the project or will be needed for the project...

...its execution, during a specific time frame. Rate of Performance (RP): It is the rate at which the project is progressing. Mathematically, it is the percentage of the work actually completed out of the total work that was scheduled to be completed till that point of time. Earned Value (EV): Also called Budgeted Cost of Work Performed(BCWP), is the estimate of the value of the work completed, on the basis of how much work should have been completed and how much work was actually completed. EV = PV X RP | EVA Chart | Illustration to explain these terms: Consider a project where the work has to be completed in two months in Rs 20,000. Cost breakdown is Rs.10,000 for each month. The work scheduled in each month is half of the total work to be completed. By the end of the first month, the project has completed only 25% of the total work to be completed, but the cost utilised is that of 50% of the total work. Also given that, for completion of 25% work, the actual cost(AC) incurred =50% of total budgeted cost =10,000 Now from given data :- The planned value(PV) for the work to be completed by the end of the first month =50% of total =50% of 20,000 =10,000 The rate of performance(RP)= Percentage of ratio of work actually completed to the work scheduled to be completed...

... o Focus on beginning and ending inventories and percentage of completion. o This system in the assembly department has a single direct-cost category (DM), and a single indirect-cost category (conversion costs: DL and MOH). Assuming that we only use direct materials are added at one time and conversion costs are added evenly after that ➢ Equivalent Units of Production (EUP) – a derived amount of output units that (1) takes the quantity of each input (factor of production) in units completed and in incomplete units of work in process and (2) converts the quantity of input into the amount of completed output units that could be produced with that quantity of input. EUP is calculated separately for each input (DM, DL or MOH (CC). Ex: If 50 physical units were started but not completed by the end of the period, and they are estimated to be 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. Then 35 units (70%x50) could have been completed by the end of the month. Steps for Calculating Equivalent Units of Production and Cost per Unit 1. Summarize the flow of physical units of output. 2.

...classifications, direct materials and conversion costs, are necessary. Direct materials are frequently added at one point in time, often the start or the end of the process. All conversion costs are added at about the same time, but in a pattern different from direct materials costs. Conversion costs are often added throughout the process, which can of any length of time, lasting from seconds to several months. 17-3 Equivalent units is a derived amount of output units that takes the quantity of each input (factor of production) in units completed or in incomplete units in work in process, and converts the quantity of input into the amount of completed output units that could be made with that quantity of input. Each equivalent unit is comprised of the physical quantities of direct materials or conversion costs inputs necessary to produce output of one fully completed unit. Equivalent unit measures are necessary since all physical units are not completed to the same extent at the same time. 17-4 The accuracy of the estimates of completion depends on the care and skill of the estimator and the nature of the process. Semiconductor chips may differ substantially in the finishing necessary to obtain a final product. The amount of work necessary to finish a product may not always be easy to ascertain in advance. 17-5 The five key steps in process costing follow: Step 1: Summarize the flow of physical units of output. Step 2: Compute output in terms of equivalent units. Step...
