...seeking revenge, dig two graves - one for yourself”. Montresor decides to seek revenge from Fortunato in the worst way possible - by death because Fortunato insults his name. When Montresor sought revenge he thought that he was going to get away without a consequence, but he did suffer a consequence, his grave - guilt and regret. In "The Cask of Amontillado,” Poe utilizes situational irony and tone to express the theme that revenge is sometimes a fruitless and damaging experience. For example, Poe uses situational irony to convey Montresor’s feelings about taking revenge on Fortunato. Before Fortunato’s murder, Montresor couldn’t wait to kill him and to get the satisfaction he desires. Just thinking about killing Fortunato made him “smile ... at the thought of [Fortunato’s] ” ultimate death (Poe 61). Leading up to the death, he planned a lot for the murder. He deceives Fortunato and works hard to get him drunk and when Montresor does kill Fortunato he does not feel the satisfaction and fulfillment that he expects. He assumed Fortunato’s death was going to erase any feelings connected to him, but instead he built more feelings from killing him which was the complete opposite of what he wanted. Moreover, Montresor believed that by killing Fortunato he will feel pleased...

I had the most illusive dream. It is much like, the American Dream. Because each person is different and have different ideas about how to live an ethical way of life without damaging life around us now, and it is us who need to make the change, to be that change, we wish to see in the world. There are lots of lies that are told to us throughout our lives. most of mine came in the first 30 years of my life. It is hard to break free from all of those lies. They have become quite ingrained within us and when we go to release something that we have healed, another thing pops up and thus continues a cycle of releasing and healing until we are done. And are we ever done? No, I don't believe we are ever done. We always have work to do. We can be done with our quitting and withdrawal, but life goes on, and we still have work to do on ourselves once we know we are never going back. That is a life time of self-development and your commitment is your own vow to yourself to be the best you...

...Dear Ray. I have only just received your letter. There must have been a problem sending it from Asia or something. I am glad you trust me. I feel like we are getting closer, even though we are so far away from each other. I care for you, and you should know that. You have always been like a brother to me. I remember when we climbed up to Mr. Davis small house on top of the big tree, and slept there all night. We almost fell out the side, but your mom noticed us and saved us before we fell of the edge. Ha ha. It feels like it was yesterday. You have always been my friend, and you will always be my friend, no matter where in the world you are. Your parents are worried about you. They watch the news every day, hoping to catch the last new thing about the war. They just bought a new house, down by the lake. It is a lovely place. It is the place you have always dreamt of.

...Manktelow & Amy Carlson. In many cases, conflict in the workplace just seems to be a fact of life. We've all seen situations where different people with different goals and needs have come into conflict. And we've all seen the often-intense personal animosity that can result. The fact that conflict exists, however, is not necessarily a bad thing: As long as it is resolved effectively, it can lead to personal and professional growth. In many cases, effective conflict resolution can make the difference between positive and negative outcomes. The good news is that by resolving conflict successfully, you can solve many of the problems that it has brought to the surface, as well as getting benefits that you might not at first expect: • Increased understanding: The discussion needed to resolve conflict expands people's awareness of the situation, giving them an insight into how they can achieve their own goals without undermining those of other people. • Increased group cohesion: When conflict is resolved effectively, team members can develop stronger mutual respect, and a renewed faith in their ability to work together. • Improved self-knowledge: Conflict pushes individuals to examine their goals in close detail , helping them understand the things that are most important to them, sharpening their focus, and enhancing their effectiveness. However, if conflict is not handled effectively, the results can be damaging. Conflicting goals can quickly turn into personal dislike. Teamwork...

...Many will agree that leadership is lacking in the world today. In hard economic times, organizations tend to make cuts wherever they can. Services and programs the company pays for or invests time into that do not show immediate and tangible result are often the first to be cut. While over 50 percent of company’s surveyed in 2005 planned to offer mentoring programs, these were reserved for management positions and directorships (Gray 2005). Without being able to find an individual mentor or coach, how does the average employee develop their leadership behaviors? How does the college graduate groom themselves for a leadership role? Everyone can engage in self-training. The following pages outline a basic process that anyone can engage on their own to develop their leadership behaviors and begin to make choices as leaders. It is helpful to remember that before we can be the leader of others, we must be leaders of ourselves. Those that do not take choices consciously and lead themselves fall into the roll of the follower without realizing it. While it is healthy to be excellent followers as the situation warrants, that is not going to be the focus of this training. Additionally, it is important to address the difference between habits and choices. A habit, as defined, is an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary. In the future, it may be helpful to develop the following behaviors into habits. Initially, however, these...

...suicide. According to recent bullying statistics, suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide and bully victims are the ones more likely to consider suicide compared to non-victims. Though many adults see bullying as “just a part of being a kid”, it is in fact a serious problem that leads to many devastating effects for the victims. Therefore, this essay will briefly discuss the types of bullying and elaborate on the following changes a victim goes through, mentally and emotionally, as a result of bullying. Bullying is the aggressive behaviour towards a specific target, either through physical abuse or emotional abuse. Bullying involves hurtful behaviours that are repeated and intentional. Examples of physical bullying involve giving threats, harassment, humiliation and violence whereas emotional bullying involves name-calling, teasing and insulting someone. And with the Internet, this has created more opportunities for cyber bullying where the victims suffer from social media attacks. Correspondingly, the most damaging aspect of bullying is its repetition and when the victims have to endure this act over and over again for long periods of time, I am strongly convinced that they are prone to emotional problems and poor health outcomes in the long term. Firstly, bullying can lead to permanent problems in the victim’s life such as self-hatred, low self-esteem...

...Hello and welcome to my podcast, today I am going to leave last week’s topic of footballers and their ridiculous paid so called “jobs” and talk to you about a strong passion of mine, bullying obviously I don’t mean being a bully is a strong passion of mine but I CANT STAND BULLIES I have done a lot of research into why bullies bully and I found reasons such as “Often a bully will have a low self-esteem or has been a victim of bullying themselves and they are using bullying as a way of making themselves feel more powerful”. I really don’t understand why people feel the need to make people feel inferior to someone else people should be able to express themselves through what they do, how they act and what they wear without the fear of being downgraded by someone else. Have you ever been called "ugly"? Have you ever been called "Fat"? Or even a sideman? Has someone made you feel totally insecure about your appearance? Everyone in this room has probably been bullied at least once in their life. It’s not the best feeling is it? It makes one feel insecure, humiliated and very uncomfortable. It has the power to destroy lives, mentally and physically. Studies have shown that 1 out of 6 students are harassed or bullied at least once a week in Australian schools. An alarming fact is that 40% of suicide victims had been bullied at school. Bullying behavior is no longer confined to the school room or playground but throughout adulthood as well. ‘Bullying behavior can be communicated...

...these same relationships can cause discomfort, and sometimes even cause harm. At least once in your lifetime, you will find yourself in a couple of unhealthy relationships that you just seem to can't let go of. As the days drag on, although you can't take it any longer, you just can't seem to take that first step. Maybe because, you're still hoping that everything will still change. Or you can't bear hurt the feelings of your lover. Whatever it is that is holding you back from getting out it, unhealthy relationships will only cause more emotional damage if not ended soon. Unhealthy relationships can come in different forms. Most of the time it involves some form of abuse. If you think that your partner is physically or emotionally abusing you, by all means, get out of that relationship as fast as you can. If one partner is hindering the other from growing, then the relationship just isn't healthy for both of them anymore. And once the relationship becomes unhealthy, conflict will surely arise. Ending an unhealthy relationship starts with a conscious decision of actually ending it. You have to be determined to let it go so that you wouldn't have to think twice about it anymore. Many people find it hard to break up with someone because they think that eventually the situation will get better again. Nothing good will come out of the procrastination. It will just hurt more. Ending a relationship can be a difficult undertaking but it doesn't have to be traumatic on anyone. As long as...

Examples of Thesis Statements: The overuse of air conditioners and inefficient automobiles in North America has needlessly contributed to global warming by damaging the ozone layer. Formulation: After choosing the topic for your paper and doing preliminary research you should be ready to create a rough, working thesis to give focus to your thoughts as you begin organizing and writing your essay. When formulating your thesis, keep the following in mind: 1. A good thesis statement makes a clear, definite and limited assertion that must be explained and supported by evidence and argument. a. The thesis statement must have a clear and specific point to it, a pronounced thrust in the direction of your argument. b. You must be careful, however, that the thesis statement is not too big for your paper. Ask yourself if, within the page limit assigned, you can truly explore everything and only things covered by your thesis. c. Your thesis should need to be proven rather than being instantly accepted by your reader. It shows your take on the topic, including your emphasis and the direction in which your argument will lead. a. The thesis statement does not just tell the reader the topic of the paper, use of natural imagery in Impressionist paintings for example, but also your perspective on that topic, such as use of natural imagery in Impressionist paintings as a critique of naive Romanticism...

...In the essay "It’s Hard Enough Being Me," Anna Lisa Raya relates her experiences as a multicultural American at Columbia University in New York and the confusion she felt about her identity. She grew up in L.A. and mostly identified with her Mexican background, but occasionally with her Puerto Rican background as well. Upon arriving to New York however, she discovered that to everyone else, she was considered "Latina." She points out that a typical "Latina" must salsa dance, know Mexican history, and most importantly, speak Spanish. Raya argues that she doesn’t know any of these things, so how could this label apply to her? She’s caught between being a "sell-out" to her heritage, and at the same time a "spic" to Americans. She adds that trying to cope with college life and the confusion of searching for an identity is a burden. Anna Raya closes her essay by presenting a piece of advice she was given on how to deal with her identity. She was told that she should try to satisfy herself and not worry about other people’s opinions. Anna Lisa Raya’s essay is an informative account of life for a multicultural American as well as an important insight into how people of multicultural backgrounds handle the labels that are placed upon them, and the confusion it leads to in the attempt to find an identity. Searching for an identity in a society that seeks to place a label on each individual is a difficult task, especially for people of multicultural ancestry. Raya’s essay...
