...Much Ado About Nothing Love Story Shakespeare My first impression of Much Ado About Nothing is that it would be a love story. Although it is categorised as a Shakespearean comedy, I found the many "funny" parts of the play were foggy and required you to read the scene over a few times before you understood them. But then again, I had to read the whole scene over again a few times to understand anything. All of the characters in Much Ado About Nothing seemed to develop a personality of their own from the very first scene. It also helped that I saw the movie version of Much Ado About Nothing before we read the play so I could almost get a picture in my head as to what each character looked like. As the character's had their own personality, so did the two love relationships in the play. Benedick and Beatrice seemed to hate each other so much from the very start of the play that as the play carried on it almost seemed like the two went full circle in their relationship. But their relationship might not have changed for the better without help from Claudio, Don Pedro, Leonato, Ursula or Hero. In Claudio's and Hero's relationship seemed to be much more conventional in the way they came together. Claudio first saw Hero and instantly fell in love with her, while Hero stood by and took orders from her father, Leonato. Only when Don John devised his deception to break Claudio and Hero apart that I felt the relationship was in trouble, but even...

...that no one in the society reads or owns them. The firemen aren’t really necessary because the society already doesn’t read books or seem to care about them. They are in the world of technology and don’t want to gain knowledge or have anything to do with learning new information or facing the real world. Montag’s society programs their thoughts to have fun and be care-free. Books are something they already naturally don’t want to read or think about. This is why the firemen aren’t really necessary. 12. The society’s wall-to-wall television has made the society forget about Christ. Television and technology has influenced the society incredibly. Since books are prohibited, people don’t read the Bible. They are shut out from religion and learning about God. Television has taken the society away from reality and the important things in life. The society seems to praise technology more than they praise God. 13. Montag is intrigued by the information in the books and wants to learn more about them, and is curious about what secrets they hold. Mildred knows the trouble that one can get into when seen with the book, so she wants to leave Montag and not be a part of his life. 14. Montag’s childhood memory of trying to fill a sieve with sand on the beach to get a dime from a mischievous cousin and crying at the futility of the task is compared to his attempt to read the whole Bible as quickly as possible on the subway in the hope that, if he reads fast enough, some of the material...

...undermined, and they worked as slaves. This problem is processed in the short story “The Journey to the Brothers’ Farm”, in which we are introduced to a girl named Annelie. She lives in South Africa, and has experienced terrible things, where she has experienced apartheid at first hand. The composition of the story is very interesting as it is build up in two parts. The part written in italic contains a statement received by the Tweekopfentein Police Station, and contains the things that are important to cover the police investigation and nothing more. The part written in normal typing contains a story of the whole course. It is a special way of building a short story, and it works very effectively, because you become aware of the fact that a criminal act has taken place. The first part of the story contains a description of her childhood. A lady named Miss Kotzee reads a story about a girl called Dulcina, a beautiful girl with white skin, flaxen hair of the purest silk, and fine bones. As she has read the story Annelie starts to wonder whether if she can obtain same fortune herself. She therefore asks Miss Kotzee if she can:“Do you think a prince would ever want to marry Bettina? […] her path in life” (Ll. 11-17)At this point, the reader starts to wonder what makes Annelie unable to obtain same fortune as Dulcina. At first one might think that Annelie is too ugly to marry a prince. But if you start to reflect on what has been said, you quickly stumble upon the focus on skin, bones,...

...Literature Review: Step 1: Read a lot. Sounds simplistic, but the fact is that you do have to read a lot, and read with care and purpose. There are things that you can do within the process to make your life easier, and the purpose of this short document is to point some of them out. Hopefully, this will help. However, there is no substitute for good, thorough, and hard work. When you start your reading, start broadly. If you have an area you are interested in, such as computers in education, multi-media, distance education, web-based instruction, or some other specific concentration, start your reading in those areas. Course assigned reading will help, but you will have to branch outwards and inwards. Don’t be afraid to follow an area that seems not to be related to your area. You are trying to define your interests. Allow yourself the freedom to do that. Here are some tips on how you might branch out, and/or focus in: A. Look carefully at the references. Should the author raise a salient point that interests you and they happen to cite somebody, look up the citation and read the original source. The original source will have its own references, follow these. Repeat as necessary. B. Read from tangentially related fields. Don’t be afraid to look outside of the literature in IT to other areas. Educational Psychology, Human Resources, Computer Science, and Communications Studies are but a few of the related fields with important information related to our...

...It was a way of life, an ugly truth that framed an important part of history forever. Frederick Douglass was one of the most important leaders of the slave abolitionist movement and fought to end slavery in the United States during the 19th Century. As evidenced in his text, Douglas had a passion for what he believed in. Even as a young man, he knew he was missing something in his life. Douglas had more insight at ten years old than some have throughout a lifetime. Learning to read and write allowed Douglas to unravel a powerful message to the black community of his time. Slaves learning to read and write in the 19th Century was not only illegal, it was immoral. Slaves were to be kept dumb and simple so that they could be molded into what their owners wanted from them. Mrs. Auld was a powerful tool in Douglas’s life. Douglas had saw the good in a white person for the first time in his life. Douglas referenced Mrs. Ault by saying “Her face was made of heavenly smiles, and her voice of tranquil music.” The kindness that Mrs. Ault showed Douglas as a young boy would open his heart and allow him to gain the other important tools he would need to become free. Mr. Auld’s belief was that if a slave were to gain literacy, it would make it unsafe for them and the owner. This was evidenced by the bold statements made by Mr. Auld to his wife. “If you give a nigger an inch, he will take an ell!” and “A nigger should know nothing but to obey his master—to do as he is told to do.”...

...Running Head: “MONEY TALKS” ESSAY 1 “Money Talks” Essay Tammy R. Mathews Liberty University “Money Talks” Essay Based on the definition in our textbook (Littlejohn & Foss, 2011, p. 19) I would argue that “Money Talks” does not fit the criteria for a theory. It is not "an organized set of explanations." It's simply an idiom or a metaphor -- maybe "loosely" considered a personal theory, but nothing close to the types of theories in our textbook. Literally, money does not talk; it has no such characteristics. However, the phrase “money talks” is based on the concept that money gives one power and influence to help get things done and get one’s own way. Therefore, I would describe the phrase, “money talks,” more specifically as a communication theory. “Money talks” is a communication tool for those who have the means to be a powerful influence to get one’s way. Sometimes, this communication is spoken or unspoken. It is taken for granted that communication can influence what is done and what is not done. This is not always based on what is right or wrong. It is definitely about the power of the almighty dollar. In a lot of instances, money does talk and it talks very loud! “Money talks” is a representation in the real world. Is it a true representation? It shouldn’t be but the reality is that “it is.” “Money “stands for” the economic...

...life with the daily enjoyments of going to the cinema and a walk to the railway. Doug is living in a small town with his mom and dad, and his brother Skip. The life is good, and the news of the circus coming to town makes the smiles on Doug and RT´s faces even bigger. As the excitement gets bigger, the closer the circus gets to the small town and Doug is dying of delight. The two boys decides to go do the railway to see the circus arriving, and the looks of the big animals and the clumsy clowns surprises the two young boys in a way they have never tried. But when the two boys come home, they find Doug’s dad in shock of what he have read in the paper. Headlines with the word “Atom-bomb” and “Cold war” makes the father scared of what might come out of the war that is unfolding. The family situation gets more and more stressed as the dad reads aloud from the paper. The family is in shock, but the two boys are not in the same mood as the two parents. They can’t relate to what is happening around them and what might happen if something goes wrong. This really shows the difference of how the two boys look at the world, and how Doug’s parents react when they see the article in the paper. The two grown-ups get all worked up and scared about what might happen,...

...reading is a very important skill that needs to be developed early in life. Some parents start to read to their babies before they are born. Not only does it help to develop language skills it can educate and take you places you’ve never been before. Frederick Douglas and Richard Rodriquez are two writers that contributed great works of art to society. In spite of being born nearly 150 years apart; both had a profound need to educate themselves by learning to read. Self-determined and motivated by the desire for education they both accomplished what they set out to do. Frederick Douglas was born a slave and received his first teachings from the mistress of the house. After the mistress was commanded by her husband not to teach him anymore, Frederick had to resort to different ruses to learn to read and write. Frederick was a slave and slaves were not allowed to read or write. If caught slaves were beaten and tortured or even worse killed sometimes for trying to learn to read and write. Richard Rodriquez on the other hand was born after minorities were free to get an education. Fredrick was a slave that knew that being able to read and write was his only ticket to freedom, and for Richard it meant academic success. At home he was watched closely to make sure he was not trying to read anything. One day she found him reading a newspaper which made her furious because she knew that education and slavery were incompatible with each other. There was nothing more dangerous to...

...PSY 801: How to Read a Scientific Article Author unknown (variously attributed – most likely James Watson) When Learners in the sciences are first faced with using the primary research literature, the prospect sometimes seems overwhelming. Finding pertinent journal articles often seems to involve a maze of abstracting journals, indifferent librarians, missing volumes, CD-ROMs from the netherworld, and bound periodicals that refuse to flatten themselves for photocopiers (no matter how hard you press on them CPR-style). Even after an article has been located or provided, there is the problem of reading it. The worst way to assimilate a research paper is to read it word for word, title to literature cited, as if it were a textbook. This approach is a waste of time not only because perhaps as few as 1 in 4 articles that find their way into your hands should be committed to your brain, but also because it is deadly boring. Before reading one word of an article, ask yourself what you are looking for in the article. Knowing what you do about the subject, what gaps need to be filled? What knowledge needs to be expanded? What controversial points need to be corroborated? Generate expectations of a journal article before you read it. This will help your analysis of the work in front of you, and it will keep you more interested in the material. Once your initial expectations have been generated, then what? The following steps seem to make sense. 1. Read the authors' names. Where and...

...accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information. (Kirby and Goodpaster 2007) said it all “There is nothing in the mind unless it first senses.” When we are first born our five senses are just starting to develop from the first taste of milk to hearing people speak, to even the touch of our mothers hand while feeding. At the time a baby is born they are not aware food will be important for them to survive or to be able to distinguish between hot or cold. They will hear words and not understand, hear sounds around them and will not know what they are, until they are taught, they do not know at this time how important their senses will be to them later in life and how their senses will interact with their brain. Now as we grow into adults our senses have become interwoven with the way we think and use our minds. We use our eyes to read a book or even recipes to cook. When we listen to music, hear the birds chirp, our children laughing we are using our ears to hear these wonderful sounds. Our ears can also hear sounds that we do not want to hear as well. We have to think when we use our hands to fix a car, play a guitar, and we even have to think what the heck we are doing jumping out of a good airplane, when you go airborne in the military, and in this case you are thinking but using probably all of your senses except for smell. Now it is true that “there is nothing in our mind unless it is first senses”. (Aquinas, 2007, pg. 53) Why is this, we have to see, taste...
