...Faulkner takes the readers back to the past events leading up to her death. Throughout the short story many references were made about time, this allowed readers to gain a little insight on the era in which the story took place and also an idea about the characters roles and so forth. The constant reference to the changes in time also suggests that there would be a dramatic change in Ms. Emily Greison’s attitude towards the other characters and her own character. In the beginning of the story, also the end of Ms. Emily’s life her characteristics are defined as cold and distant, throughout the story readers also see that Ms. Emily remains cold and distant. The narrator refers to this in his opening statement says, “When Ms. Emily Greison died the whole town went to her funeral-“. At first this suggest that the character was favorable amongst her peers but then it is quickly justified when the narrator says “The men through a sort of respectful affection and the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house.” This justification shows the lack of empathy town’s people had for the character, and the distant relationship Ms. Emily had with the town’s people. Without saying too much, readers can infer that Ms. Emily was not favorable amongst her peers and that she was so closed off that nobody had seen the inside of her house for quite some time. As the story continues the narrator takes readers back to two years prior what seems to be a dramatic change in Ms. Emily’s life...

Caesar decides he shall "forth" until Calpurnia tells him why he shouldn't go to the capitol today. Some of the reasons she included were: A lioness "whelped" in the streets. Graves opened and showed their dead people. Warriors of fire fought on the clouds and drizzled blood upon the capitol. Horses neighed and dead men groaned. Ghosts shrieked in the streets. She than showed her discomfort with these things by saying "O Caesar, these things are beyond all use, / and I do fear them." Caesar says these are just as much to him as to the world in general, but Calpurnia insists that when beggars die nothing happens, but when princes die the heavens are ablaze. Caesar says that cowards die many times before their death and death will come when it will come. Then Caesar asked a servant...

...Running Head: HOW TO TELL YOUR BRAND’S STORY Assignment 1: How to Tell Your Brand’s Story: Four Questions You Must Answer Pat Smith MKRT 5000 - Marketing 24 January 2012 HOW TO TELL YOUR BRAND’S STORY ARTICLE SUMMATION Beth McKenna writes an impressive article on bringing to light the nuance of telling your company’s brand story, which can be referred to as story generation. In the past, companies had only 30 seconds of commercial time to tell their story, using the same format with the big five: characters, setting, plot, conflict, and resolution. With commercials, companies only had a limited time and limited ways to advertise. Today, technology has expanded and changed the face of how to tell the story of a company’s brand. But what the writer discusses is how to “cut the clutter” and effectively “evoke feeling” and create a story which the audience can feel a part of the product. In addition to commercials, a brand story can be discussed in depth and length through the internet, on social media blogs such as Facebook and Twitter, allowing the audience to provide feedback and opinions. As the article progresses,, Beth McKenna elaborates on the need for companies to evolve their planning processes to follow four questions to be evaluated before a company develops its story. First, the planning stage is critical to the formation of the story. Beth McKenna’s main emphasis is how critical it is to...

...First, Sarah tells about how she, her brother and their friends used to play behind their childhood home after school when they were kids, how they’d always played a stage play about King Henry VIII of England and Anne Boleyn, the second wife of him. The childhood was the good times with all their friends and fun. Everyone was very excited to play Anne in the play, even the boys, included her brother. Sarah would love to see her brother play the role, but something made her unsecure to want to watch it. “It was almost worth giving up the role yourself just to watch Terry give it his all, and it might have been, if it weren’t for the execution scene.” To watch her brother being executed wasn’t funny, not even in a play. Next, she tells about her life right before and after her brother became sick and died, and as she tells more about the situation, she was in, she seems more and more disappointed in the behavior of her family and friends. “Everyone but me seemed to know what was coming”. She tells how everything changed around her. Her brother became boring and their friends began avoiding them, the house became lifeless and she knew nothing. Now, thirty years after, the last plot. A friend of Mark, her son, calls to tell that Mark’s best friend Peter has died.

...The Fortune Telling Truth of Gryphon The history of fortune telling dates back to the early fourteenth century. Tarot cards were commonly used in the practice of fortune telling during these times. This practice of fortune telling through the use of tarot cards is the main topic in story Gryphon. Although the practice of fortune telling with use of tarot cards is not widely used or believed in today, the story Gryphon by Charles Baxter tell a story of a substitute teacher named Ms. Ferenczi and her fortune telling practices. One of the most interesting and controversial topics in this story is the use of her tarot cards to tell the future. Tarot cards have been used for centuries, but no one has ever given proof of if they really work or not. Although Ms. Ferenczi is a very special woman, no person can predict what the future holds for other people is an accurate manner. Tarot cards first entered Europe in the late fourteenth century. At this time, tarot cards were only used for playing...

...simply asking me, "Tell me something about yourself." Peter never used any closed questions during the interview. I believe he did that because he wanted to get the most information out of me in the allotted time we had to speak with each other. I think the lack of closed questions was effective since we only had a few minutes to speak and a bunch of closed questions would have given peter little to work with when choosing his partners. As I explained before, Peter only used open-ended questions, and it was effective in getting high quantities of information about me. He used questions like, "Are you a leader or a follower, and explain why." I replied that I was more of a follower because I have great communication skills that allow me to increase group cohesion and optimize group output. Another open question he asked was, “Tell me about your strengths.” I replied by saying that some of my strengths are my social skills, determination, and my reliability. He was pleased with my group of strengths. Peter ended the interview by letting me know he would strongly think about picking me as a partner. I think it effective by letting me know how I did immediately. We were cut off by the timer, but he did what he could while everyone was starting to shuffle around. Overall Peter did a great job figuring out certain qualities that I have that could translate into his group. Mark Interview 2: Mark began the interview in a pretty common manner, he simply told me to tell him something about...

...In this scene, the waitress that took their order wondered if Guy had like her (Hemingway 294). Hemingway writes “He adores you, I said. But he doesn’t speak Italian. ‘Ich spreche Deutsch,’ she said, and stroked Guy’s hair . . . ‘Tell her we have to go,’ said Guy . . . My friend is a misogynist, I said, an old German misogynist. ‘Tell him I love him’” (294). Since Guy cannot speak the waitress’s native language, the narrator takes advantage of it. He does this by telling the waitress things that Guy did not tell him to say and making the girl believe that Guy actually likes her. This is what makes the waitress flirt with Guy and it makes him uncomfortable. When Guy wishes to leave the narrator keeps informing the waitress about Guy, by telling her that he is an old German misogynist. He has fun with this for a while, because both Guy and the waitress think that he is telling the truth. This shows how dishonest men are towards their friends and...

My grandma’s name is Sandy, well actually it’s Sandra but everyone just calls her Sandy. She is my dad’s mother. She is only in her early sixties but looks like she is only fifty. She looks and acts younger. She has short blonde hair and is around 5’5” and wears contacts most of the time. She has blue eyes but she sometimes wears green contacts and I tell her how I’m jealous of her blue eyes and she tells me that she’s jealous of my long eyelashes. She has worked at a bank all my life and at one point she was the president of the Collinsville Building and Loan, but now she works at Federal Community Bank in Collinsville. She is a very brilliant woman with a wide vocabulary. I love talking to her just because I love to hear the difference in the language use between her and me. She has a very wide vocabulary and I use a lot of slang terms. You can definitely see the difference in the generations. She is the kind of person that doesn’t judge a book by its cover. She gets to know someone first and even after that she doesn’t judge anybody. She tells me all the time that life is too short to have enemies so just be friends with everybody and if your personalities don’t click then find someone else. I try to live my...
