Bel Kaufman was an American writer, who worked as a teacher of the English language and literature in a New York high school for 15 years. This book tells readers about the experience of a young high school teacher and what is peculiar about the novel is that it includes some autobiographical episodes. The subject matter of the excerpt is impressions of the job of a young school teacher Sylvia Barrett, who is disappointed with the system of education and who faces with the indifference of her students, and the incompetence of many of her colleagues. Sylvia writes to her friend about all the difficulties she has and how she gets over the obstacles. She managed to describe colorfully all the sides of his extremely hard work. The plot is developed on the basis of conflict between man and society: a young teacher stands up against the established order, she is against the way many teachers work at school and foster children. The organization of the contents is straight-narrative presentation, because the events are given in their chronological order. As for the type of narration, the description of school life and the conditions into the public high school system, the advice given by professors of how to teach “not the subject but the whole child” and the descriptions of teachers and the school authorities...

...Case Brief-Quick Trip Competitive Positioning Although Quick Trip is widely known as one of the major gasoline retailer agents, its forays into the retail food system cannot go unnoticed. The company has established major outlets throughout the United States providing competition to the traditionally established retail outlets. A major point of departure is the kind of food offered by this retail store. Selling of freshly cooked food is rarely done in the United States especially among the many stops- over retail centers. Apart from the sale of food and gasoline, the company has invested a lot in branding and quality customer service. This has increased the customer base of the enterprise. The latest entry being in North Carolina. The retail food outlets use the established brand to attract more consumers. The retail outlets face stiff competition from major supermarkets and established food outlets. However, the strategy in place sees off the competition. Instead of developing many retail units across the country, Quick Trip resorted to establishing retail outlets in densely populated areas across major roads visited by numerous travelers. The outlets were established in major towns and cities providing a huge customer base. Moreover, the prices of the products in the outlets are lower compared to other stores making it a suitable outlet for buying goods. These are just some of the main reason most people prefer Quick Trip as compared to the other major retail stores ...

...Essay A “One stair up” by Campbell Nairne The fragment describes how two youngsters, representatives of the working class, - Rosa and Andrew, went to the cinema. We see them in the hall of the cinema, after that observe them in the showing room. There is relatively little action in this story. The author’s attention is mainly focused on the details, so that we could see, smell and feel everything that surrounds the main characters. The text can be described as partially narrative and partially descriptive. The exposition is rather long. The author’s aim is to plunge us into the atmosphere of the luxurious salon: we can even hear the “soft whirring of fans” and “a cup grate on a saucer”, feel the “hot darkness” and draw a realistic image of the showing room. The complication begins with the Rosa’s question “This a comedy?” Now our attention is fully devoted to the leading characters, depicted skillfully by the author. Campbell Nairne reveals the nature of his characters through actions, details, dialogues, and, mostly, through showing their thoughts. He uses interior monologues to build up the thought patterns of both the main characters. The tension grows as we “hear” what Rosa thinks of Andrew, because her thoughts come in strong contradiction to his ones. The culmination takes place when Andrew breaks out, “forgetful in his excitement”. Full of delight, he wants to share his impressions with Rosa, but meets only cold misunderstanding. He...

...(hamstrings, quad, glutes), but when you add the twist it helps develop core strength, proprioception, and balance. The lunge and twist starts by holding a dumbbell the long-ways between both at about chest high and close to the body. After you are in position you perform the lunge, “If you lunge forward with your right leg, at the apex of your lunge, rotate your torso to the right side. Hold for one to three seconds. Return to the original position and then repeat with the left leg”. Barnhart has two ways that he recommends to do the lunge and twist, the first way is to add three to four sets to the lunge and twist , performing 12 to 15 reps with a low weight dumbbell (5 to 20 pounds maximum). The second way is to perform as many lunge twists as you can in a 30 to 45 second interval, then rest and repeat one to two more times. The third excise Barnhart talks about is push up jacks. The pushup jacks are designed to build stamina and endurance in the upper body as well as the lower body. The pushup jacks are started by beginning in standard push up position and do a regular push up. When you return to the original...

...relationships with Madeleine, who is the wife of Scottie’s class mate Gavin Elster, and Midge, Scottie’s old college friend. Hitchcock uses camera work such as profile shots of Madeleine and full shots of Midge to emphasize on the fact that even though one is secretive, she dictates the main character while the other is like an open book, yet she has no genuine power over him. Madeleine is beautiful and a glamorous woman who comes from a wealthy background. Scottie becomes attracted to her in the very first scene at Ernie’s restaurant. He watches her as she sits and walks out elegantly, while he is sitting in one corner. Hitchcock captures the scene with by taking a tracking shot of the restaurant to give the viewers the feeling of the romantic ambience. The tracking shot zooms out of Scottie to the other side of the room on Madeleine, whose back is facing the camera. This suggests that Hitchcock wants to continue with the theme of suspense throughout the movie, which is why he first takes shots of Madeleine’s back to the camera, followed by the profile shot from a distance. The profile shot is marked by a wooden doorway that frames Madeleine as if she is in the spot light, which she is for Scottie. The camera then zooms in for a close up shot of Madeleine’s profile. The sharp feature of the profile shot highlights her beauty and suggests that there is a mysterious side to her because of which Scottie has fallen in love with. In contrast, Midge is portrayed as being simple and a...

...and Editing Style - Storyboard - References Than Htike Aung 2 Student ID: 980511 Assignment 1 VID106 Video Production Fundamentals Synopsis A mysterious man living in a suburban home wakes up one morning and does his normal routine to get ready for work. As he walks out from the front door to his car on the driveway… Treatment Concept I have chosen “Hitman” as the title of this short film. The aim is to create a 2 to 3 minute story in the genre of mystery. Within this mystery genre, a middle age man will be introduced without any dialogue but with a voiceover narration, as he gets ready for work. As we explore the life about this man over the narrative track, the key conventions will lead the audience into a false sense of knowledge. The main concept of this film is to build up to the climax where the audience will be shocked by a twist to the plot. This supposed genre would allow the viewer to become caught up in the theme and make the wrong assumption until the twist is revealed in the end. Script Outline The short film begins with a close-up shot of an alarm clock ringing at 6am waking up the man in the bed. The camera shows a few shots around his room where everything is perfectly...

Within this session I had explored a lot about the methods and elements of dance the task was on one of the methods of dance which is “Action and Reaction, from previously using action and reaction In acting sessions i had a bit of a clue in what it could be and it was basically reacting to one another by giving one person an action for them to react to. The second part of the task was to get into pairs and we did this with the second year dancers who we didn’t know that well but this gave us a chance to communicate and get to know each other as well as working together. Once we was in pairs we then got asked to name each other A or B , in this task A was action and B was reaction. Marie showed an example of what she wanted us to do in pairs, she got poppy one of the second year students to stand still and Marie would tap one part of her body and poppy would...

Gary’s still a popular tour guide for a company he owns with his two brothers; Brooke works at an art gallery. On this particular day, Brooke is assisting a very attractive male customer who ultimately decides not to buy anything. She tells him to wait until he sees something he just has to own. The day ends and Brooke rushes home, seeming stressed out. We find out that Brooke is stressed because she and Gary are having both of their families over for dinner. The families haven’t spent a lot of time together, so Brooke really wants this to go well. Gary wanders in the door and hands Brooke a small bag of three lemons. She’d asked him to pick some up on his way home and he’s proud that he remembered. But it turns out that Brooke needed 12 lemons for dinner, and Gary’s forgetfulness feels like a slap in the face.

...smelled "like Chihuahuas. Wet Chihuahuas." When she said that they were like "Caucasian Chihuahuas," we all went into fits of laughter. They regard the word Caucasian as a hilarious term of abuse that can be used in almost any situation. We all have seen whites before but have never had much to do with them. But the ten white girls we encounter at the camp are closer to us and, therefore, more real and capable of exciting envy and hatred. At the end of the first day at camp, Arnetta reports she heard one of the white girls refer to Daphne, a black girl, as "a nigger." On prompting by Arnetta, Daphne, a quiet girl, nods her head to confirm that the derogatory term was used. Arnetta tells the other girls that they cannot let the white girls get away with using that word about them. She told us that we must teach the white girls a lesson. Janice suggests that they put daddy-long-legs in the white girls' sleeping bags, and when the girls awake, beat them up. Arnetta told Janice, to shut up and then announced that we are going to hold a secret meeting. She then turned to me and asked if I had plans to tell Mrs. Margolin, who was our troop leader, about the situation. On the second day of camp, our troop ate our sandwich lunch by a stream that borders the field hockey lawn. Arnetta, for some reason, eyed the white...

...the Hamstrings and the Quadriceps could use a little loosening as well. Some other muscles that may be worked on in the leg are Grand Adducteur, Droit Anterieur. But overall we want to focus on maintaining her flexibility. 3.) Based on my client’s results, I would develop a PNF and Ballistic program. Help them stretch their muscles out, she may not be able to stretch them on her own, with a little help she will become more flexible. Then Ballistic, warming up with movement and bounce will help her get her body temperature up and ready to perform improvements. But her overall fitness testing was good and does not need much improvement but to maintain flexibility. 4.) FITT Frequency: Exercise 5 to 7 days a week. Stretching out on a daily basis is recommended, it can even be done multiple times during the day. She can stretch at any time of the day, if its morning, evening, night or when you are just feeling stiff and want to relieve tension. Before working out she may want to do some type of stretching during her warm-up and then again during her cool down, this will help prevent soreness. Stretching may be a good way to relax the body. Intensity: When it comes to stretching, she wants to stretch to the point of controlled tension or having someone else helps her. To maintain or improve flexibility, the muscles in the legs and back must be elongated beyond their normal movement patterns. This should be done in a slow, controlled manner, of holding each stretch just beyond the...
