...and many other but those three are the ones that are displayed the most. Out of all qualities Abigail displays devious is the one greatly revealed. Throughout the story there are many events that happen that Abigail had something to do with, with each event Abigail always has a different story from what actually happens and convinces people that her story is the truth. One event that happens that displays this would be when Abigail was in the woods with the girls dancing and took it to the next level by drinking blood and taking off her clothing. Before the questioning of what happen in the woods Abigail states “Shut up! All of you. We danced. That is all, and mark this, if anyone breathe a word or the edge of a word about the other things, I will come to you in the black of some terrible night, and I will bring with me a pointy reckoning that will shudder you! And you know I can do it. I saw Indians smash my dear parents' heads on the pillow next to mine. And I have seen some reddish work done at night. And I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!” When it came down to the questioning of what happened...

...My favorite commercial is the Old Spice commercial that starts with a man in a shower and ends with him on a horse. Even after studying the film terms and how things are shot I just couldn’t figure out how this was shot, so I did some research to find out. I just had to know! Here is what I found and it worth the time to watch, it is so cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDk9jjdiXJQ The entire commercial is filmed in one take. There are no voice-overs. It is all a medium shot. The first scene is a man in a shower holding the product in question. They use a crane to remove the shower and drop a sweater onto his neck, but it is done so fast you can’t tell and he is suddenly on a boat. The item in his hand appears to turn from one thing to another right in from of your eyes. They are then careful to keep the camera just above his waist level and he is slid onto a horse so in the next shot he has moved from the boat to a horse. It looks almost impossible to be done without computer editing. It is amazing, but there is almost no computer graphics used. Clever scripting, great camera angles, and an awesome set are what make this commercial stand apart from the rest. As Leo Laporte says “this commercial just makes you want to smell like this...

...Dear Lord tell me why. I’ve been sitting here for hours just thinking about yesterday. It seems like every time I do think about it my heart shatters even more as tears run down my face like two never ending rivers. While I sit, I ask God over and over what did I do to deserve this. But of course there is no answer or reply. There are a couple of things that really hurt me yesterday and I mean REALLY!!! I was so hurt when Claudio said I as in me cheated on him when I know I did no such thing. Doesn’t he know how much I love him? Then another thing is my father; how could he say those things? How could he want to kill or disown me like that? He says he’s ashamed of me but after hearing what he said it is I who is ashamed of him. He should believe me because I’ve never done anything to sway his trust in me. I’ve been a loyal and faithful daughter. But the good things about this situation are that the Friar, Beatrice, and Benedick believe me. For this I am most thankful because it shows me who I can really trust. Now, there’s a plan for me to play dead so that Claudio can feel guilty for ‘killing’ me. The thing is even if I am madly and undeniably in love with him will I be able to forgive him easily. I feel the same towards my father will I forgive him easily once he finds out I’m innocent. There is so much to think about but I don’t yet. This situation is so hard on me. I’m not use to this kind of treatment, this torturous pain and it’s so hard to deal with...

...Important Things I have many important things in my life that I could not live without. From people I know, to places I visit, even the music I listen to all means something to me. The very first thing that comes to mind when someone asks me what is important to me are the people that are important to me. My sister Krista is by far the best sister I could ever ask for; if I need anything she would be the first person that I go to for help. For example one time I got kicked out of a party at 3am and Krista came to pick me up. She is always there to talk about my problems and help me out. Obviously like any other normal siblings we do argue a lot, but it never lasts for very long. Krista is by far my favourite family member. Another person in my life that is extremely important to me is my nephew Cole. He is one year old and is the cutest baby I have ever seen. Cole can cheer me up even when I am in the worst mood. I remember one time I was having the worst day and nothing seemed to go right. I was being rude to everybody and nothing could make me smile. When I got home from school my sister showed up for a surprise visit with Cole and I instantly got the biggest smile on my face. It is impossible for me to be in a bad mood around him. Another thing that comes to mind when I'm asked what is important to me are the material things. I could never live without my iPod; I have a different playlist of music for every type of mood I am in. Music makes me happy when I'm upset...

...Because It Is Running By Everyone have dreams, and everyone has to make grand choices some day in their lives. “Because It Is Running By” is a short story written by Jo Llyod, which deals with the lack of courage in taking a step towards our dreams, which many people has and can have. In the story we are following Wil, who is a relatively young man, working on a farm and still living with his mother. Wil has dreams about exploring the world and experience what it has to offer, but several things has kept him back and tied him to his childhood, working on the farm his family owns, doing his daily duties. Wil´s mom is presented as a hardworking woman, since we from the very beginning gets introduced to this woman called Edie, who is supposed to assist Wil´s mom with her duties, finally giving her more spare time. Edie and Wil´s relationship later on evolves into love. Edie has done the thing Wil couldn´t. She broke her daily routine, took the step and travelled. Therefore Wil admires what she stands for and immediately falls in love with her. Then he begins to explain to her, how he had intentions of moving out and gone to college as well “I could´ve done my A levels, he said. Could´ve gone to college (…) Left when I was sixteen. When my dad died.” In other words, did Wil because of his father´s death, give up his dreams and his studies and never came back on the horse. Later on Wil talks about the caravan which has become a symbol of his dreams of travelling in the world...

...history. His road to success was not so easy though. He was mistreated by all of the other white players in the league because they didn’t like him. Jackie Robinson was constantly getting big cuts on his legs because when he would slide into base, the other players would get him with the bottom of their cleats. Jackie Robinson was on the Brooklyn Dodgers so many of his own teammates did not like him. Many of the pitchers from other teams threw the ball at him which gave him many bruises. Despite all of this, Jackie Robinson became a star in baseball and led the Brooklyn Dodgers to a World Series appearance. This example of Jackie Robinson shows that no matter how much adversity you go through, if you keep on working hard, you can achieve great things. Heroes also show the great quality of perseverance. Harriet Tubman is someone who showed exemplary perseverance. She was a slave that worked hard, but was still abused by her plantation owner. One day she decided that she was going to escape and that’s exactly what she did. She made it off the plantation and eventually found some people that thought slavery was wrong and decided to hide Harriet in their attic. They then helped Harriet find all of the safe houses. Once Harriet made it to freedom in one of the northern states, she had a thought. She thought there were so many other slaves that were...

...Students are facing with many issues in their lives, and because of the competing things for your attention, it’s hard to concentrate on studying. Studying can seem very boring when compared to any other exciting activity. You may even prefer doing non-sense things rather than to study your lessons. Too many people treat studying as the thing to do when you get around to it or have some spare time, too many people look at studying as necessary task, not an enjoyment or an opportunity to learn.( Grohol, 2006 ) Studying is important in our lives, especially to the lives of the students. Each student as unique individual has different abilities, approaches, ways of thinking, interests and ways of studying the lessons. These individual differences have significant influences on ones learning style and acquisition. Each student has different methods and ways of studying and these methods are sometimes helpful but some are not as effective as the others. (Oppapers, 2010) One reason we often don’t start studying until last possible minute is that we have misjudged how long it will actually take as to absorb and understand the material we are studying. If you are a student attending classes, you have probably experienced many moments when it is hard to make yourself settle down and study even when an important exam is coming up. Most student put off studying until the very last minute. The night before the exam you’ll stay up all night cramming, getting little or no asleep at all...

...but most of all, unexplainable. God does and did many unexplainable and unfathomable things. Things that have been proven true, and said that they really did happen. Yet, there are still some people who do not believe, or want to believe that there could possibly be something or someone out there who can control everything that happens around us. Or that could control what our future holds. I am not one of those people. I am the type of person who believes fully that these things did happen, and I believe that the reason behind these happenings was God. Over the span of the universes existence, God has shown time and time again just how powerful he is. He created the heavens and the earth, night and day, man and woman. God is truly a majestic and wondrous being that no one will ever be able to fully describe. Even trying to describe a little bit of is a very, complicated and strenuous task. To me God is the one and only, the head hancho. The true meaning of existence lays in his hand, he is the judge and the jury. Yet, he can be your best friend when no one else is around, the easiest person to talk to, when no one else seems to understand. He is truly the answer to your prayers. I have found that God is more than just something I can believe in, he is something I know is there. Its strange, because I have always been the kind of person that needs answers to everything, I need to know why things happen, and if I know why I want proof that it did. But with God it is a completely...

...2 THE LOSS OF THE CREATURE EVERY EXPLORER NAMES his island Formosa, beautiful. To him it is beautiful because, being first, he has access to it and can see it for what it is. But to no one else is it ever as beautiful--except the rare man who manages to recover it, who knows that it has to be recovered. Garcia Lopez de Cardenas discovered the Grand Canyon and was amazed at the sight. It can be imagined: One crosses miles of desert, breaks through the mesquite, and there it is at one's feet. Later the government set the place aside as a national park, hoping to pass along to millions the experience of Cardenas. Does not one see the same sight from the Bright Angel Lodge that Cardenas saw? The assumption is that the Grand Canyon is a remarkably interesting and beautiful place and that if it had a certain value P for Cardenas, the same value P may be transmitted to any number of sightseers-just as Banting's discovery of insulin can be transmitted to any number of diabetics. A counterinfluence is at work, how- ever, and it would be nearer the truth to say that if the place is see? by a million sightseers, a single sightseer does not receive value p but a millionth part of value P . It is assumed that since the Grand Canyon has the fixed interest value P, tours can be organized for any number of people. A man in Boston decides to spend his vacation at the Grand Canyon. He-- visits his travel bureau, looks at the folder, signs up for a two-week tour. He and his family take the tour...

...ENG 1010 April 21, 2013 1. In the story Hard Choice the character of Sarty appears to be struggling with pleasing his father. The problems lies that Sarty knowing his father way of thinking is not the best and noble way of doing things. Sarty struggling with the issue of he knows that by getting revenge is not necessary the right to do. I think what makes this story more effective is the fact that Sarty went with his right mind and choose not to stay in that type of up brining because he knows what will become of his life. These are choices that in someone shape or form a lot of individuals deal with similar situations with their families and having to decide what they know is right and making the choice to do the right thing or wrong thing. 2. One of the weaknesses of Hard Choices in my opinion is the story telling how these three individuals are struggling of entering adulthood but what are their flaws that they are hiding. Does not tell how they handle situations under pressure. The story was engaging enough. 3. I would like the story of Hard Choices go into a lot more background information about the three individuals and their family lives. 4. What makes the Initiation into Adulthood so strong because the story deals with children growing into adulthood and learning how to make their own decisions and views on adulthood and forming there on identity into society and standing up to what he or she believes. “ At an early age...

...Profile of Working Students and It' S Implication on Academic Standing CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Not all people are given the chance to have a quality education especially in the Philippines because it is now complicated. That’s why having the chance to study and choosing the course should not be compared to some thing like for an example buying a dress for a special occasion and when realization comes into your mind that you don’t want it, you’ll return it or maybe get your money back. No, this isn’t right, because in college life, you have to treat every second as an important detail of your life. You should not waste every moment in it. So choosing the course which you think fits your capabilities is very important. Studying a specific course in college is not only about paying the fees rather the most important things here are the time and effort spent. Money, time and effort are the most precious things in one’s life and once it is used or spent, it’s hard to gain again or worst you may never have it at all. So the time these are wasted for nothing, for sure the blame for this mistake will be felt truly. When looking at the profile of those students who are working and at the same time is studying, you would notice that they never dare wasting their time. For them, every second counts. Make an observation and you will find out that almost all of the working students are working too hard to finish their studies. For them, wasting their effort, time and...

...books at the proper time, when the examination comes, you are at sea, you will be unable to cope with the situation. A small banyan shoot is noticed appearing in the crevices of a building; uproot it immediately; it will save the house; delay may mean great loss, perhaps ultimate destruction. A crack in the embankment of river will widen to let in flood waters to cause disaster if it is not plugged and repaired in time. It is so in all spheres of life. In politics, a problem left unsolved for long, often leads to disaster; tackled in time it saves a world of troubles. In small things as in great, in one's household as in one's business, in all circumstances, promptness in action means profit; delay means loss. But the average, man is easy-going and indolent. He seldom likes to do a thing today when he can put it off till tomorrow. That is why the average man has this habit of not doing a thing promptly, of delaying and postponing till it is too late to mend. A schoolboy has been given tasks for his vacation. The work is not pleasant, he postpones, and he waits for a time when he has no gossip or game on hand. This reminds us of the words of Chesterfield to his son—"It is an undoubted truth that the less one has to do, the less one finds time to do it." While we are idling, time slips by and opportunities are wasted. Procrastination is, indeed, the thief of time. Causes of delaying action are born of feeling of complaisance too and much dependence on luck. A character...

The reasons I think this suit my situation because of the fact it states in the book "developmental psychology means studies of how people change pysically, cognitively, and socially over the entire life span (Baron and Kalsher, pg 11). The military preps you from how you used to be into the whole new person. Leading someone is a big step in life, in order to do that you need the discipline and maturity, and I feels like I am a strong person to do it. I want to be one of the best police officers to be able to save and protect people from all harm. I like the things I do in life because it involves helping others and being proud of it. I have done volunteer work, stewpot, serveds as a page for Gov.

...Ways of Remembering Things You've Forgotten Personally, when I want to remember things I have forgotten, I put myself into a relaxed light trance, "space out" for a moment and think to myself "I am remembering" until what I want to know comes back to me easily. I wanted to jump into this article with an example of what I do when I lose or forget anything. It is so simple that I would be cheating you if I did not tell you about it in the first part of the article. The relaxed light trance can be done at any time really, once you know how to do it and it is second nature. The thing is, though, you must fully let it go and let yourself forget, to remember what you wanted to remember. At first, it seems like a hard process, but as you make it a habit, it is easy to get away from the problem, relax and find the solution. The most important way to remember something you have forgotten is that removing yourself temporarily and completely from your problem until the answer comes to you. Because, being nervous never does any good or benefit to you. In fact, all you are is nervous and excited, that is it. Problems are never solved in this state, if anything they become worse in every way. The kind of light trance I am talking about is not a "Svengali stereotype" thing, anyone can do this at any time, especially when in the heat of an activity such as running or strenuous work, because you can become so in concentration that answers you want just come to you powerfully especially...

...Part 1: You are the news director of a local television station. The city council has just voted to close city parks 3 days a week to save money. Meanwhile, a major celebrity has died. The park story has greater effect on your viewers, but the celebrity death will get bigger ratings? Which do you make your lead story and why? I would use the park story as my main story to report, because this is something that is going to affect the community whether it is good or bad. By releasing this to the community, they are able to react to what is going on and spread the word out the other people within that same community. The celebrity story would come second because this is a story that is going to be released worldwide so they will already know about the death. The death of this celebrity is not going to have an affect on what is happing in the community. I also want the viewers to know that our focus is on what is happing in the community. The celebrity death would be released over the Internet, radio, and on television. This is the same way that we will spread the information about the city closing down parks to save money. We could include different ways to how this will affect the city now and in the future. We could use this to the advantage of the people to figure out ways to raise money to keep the parks open and how they could save their community. The news station will still have the same ratings because they are targeting the local people and the people will spread the word...
