...Summer Reading The Kite Runner response Due Friday, August 21, beginning of class Three pages, double-spaced Hand in paper copy, submit a copy to Blackboard Below are three prompts from past AP Literature and Composition tests. Choose one of them and apply it to The Kite Runner in a three-page, double-spaced essay. Use evidence from the text to support your ideas (this can come in the form of quotations or references to scenes in the book.) Do not rely upon summative sources such as Spark Notes. Grading Criteria: There is a grading rubric in the Summer Reading folder for you to consult describing the grading standards for this paper. A word on how to avoid the most common mistake for this type of paper: This is a textual analysis, not a summary. Do not simply summarize the story again—write about the important aspects of the story that the prompt requests. There is a sample outline at the end of this document to illustrate how you can structure your paper so you stick with the prompt. Prompt #1 Critic Roland Barthes has said, “Literature is the question minus the answer.” Considering Barthes’ observation, write an essay in which you analyze a central question The Kite Runner raises and the extent to which it offers answers. Explain how the author’s treatment of this question affects your understanding of the work as a whole. Prompt #2 Describe how a minor character in your novel serves as a foil, or opposite, to the main character. Then describe...

...In the year 2000, Ganguly stood up as a leader and accepted to become the captain of the Indian cricket team w the team was new. At that time, no one was ready to become the captain because the team was under the pres of match-fixing allegations. It was a difficult time, and the wrong man in the captain's position might have ruined the Indian cricket to an extent that it might never have recovered. Ganguly was the man who gave the power and confidence to the team, which was instrumental in cricket team winning many series outside India like: reaching ICC Mini World Cup final, Natwest series, Australia test series, first series wins in both tests and GDIs in Pakistan, a feat that had eluded India for ov years and took unfancied India to runner-up position in World Cup 2003. Ganguly led India in a record 49 Tests, winning 21 including 12 outside India— all the three figures arc recon for Indian Test captains. He also led India to more Test wins (II) outside India between 2000 and 2005 than all Indian captains had done between 1980 and 2000. He led India to victory over Australia in the 2001 Border-Gavaskar trophy— a feat considered one of the greatest in the Indian cricket history. Ganguly was aggressive by nature and that made team more aggressive and strong. He was the first-ever Indian captain who created a confidence in the team to win overseas. It was under his captaincy that India started winning matches outside India, and he emerged as India's most successful ODI and...

...Sydney Olympics represented only 29.3% of the articles and 38% of photographs (Capranica et al. 2005). The number of published research studies on females to support the increased participation, can be reflected in the number of publications in the Journal of Applied Physiology in the first 5 months of 2006. This data suggests that there is still a short fall in the proportions of female studies when compared to those on male. Of those articles specifically referring to exercise in humans (n=36), 61 % were on males only, 5 % were on females only, 8 % were on males and females with the genders being studied separately and 26 % were on males and females, with no acknowledgment of the mixed gender. Collating these facts, together with the observation that many of the early findings on females and exercise have been found to be invalid because of poorly-controlled studies, it is clear that there is still much to be done. The aim should be to ensure that training sessions are optimised for performance enhancement in the female population and that training and performance are not detrimental to the longterm health of female participants. There are a number of different models of investigation. Studies which try to directly compare genders have difficulties in matching...

The analysis looks at the total team and reviewed the information such as games played, field goals attempt and percentage, free throw attempts and percentage, blocks and steals. The data was obtained from the NBA website. For the 2013 NBA stats there were 30 teams that played on the average of 82 games. Based on statistical analysis, the most important keys for team success in basketball and their relative weights, in parentheses, are field goal percentage, turnovers, offensive rebounds, free throw attempts and percentage, blocks and steals. Coaches are always looking for a better understanding of what makes up a winning team. This knowledge would help them improve the team statistics in the areas listed...

...Perry, Fundamentals of nursing (8th), Chapter 16 p. 210-211 Types of Data --There are two primary sources of data: subjective and objective. Subjective data are your patients’ verbal descriptions of their health problems. Only patients provide subjective data. For example, Mr. Jacobs's report of incision pain and his expression of concern about whether the pain means that he will not be able to go home as soon as he hoped are subjective findings. Subjective data usually include feelings, perceptions, and self-report of symptoms. Only patients provide subjective data relevant to their health condition. The data sometimes reflect physiological changes, which you further explore through objective data collection. --Objective data are observations or measurements of a patient's health status. Inspecting the condition of a surgical incision or wound, describing an observed behavior, and measuring blood pressure are examples of objective data. The measurement of objective data is based on an accepted standard such as the Fahrenheit or Celsius measure on a thermometer, inches or centimeters on a measuring tape, or known characteristics of behaviors...
