...In mid October, leafs would cover the ground forming what looked to be an orange ocean stretching for miles. Walking down the long, gravel road home after school grew on me nostalgically as I had did it so many times before. The sight of leafs and semi cold weather was a perfect sign that Halloween was right around the corner. As any other kid I was piqued with excitement and wonder to what costume I would wear that Halloween. Less than a week away to Halloween I had gotten severely sick. “But mom i'm fine enough to go walking down the street for peats sake!,” I said trying to hide my fatigue. “You’re too sick to go walking in the cold like this hun,” she replied optimistically. She had seen past my lie, the words echoed in my head, filling...

...Halloween Ahh! Me, Morgan, and Lexi screamed as we ran down the street, we were terrified. At first my dad dropped me off at lexis. He said “have fun” and drove away. Once I got dropped off I skipped inside and saw that morgan was there so we started to do some games. There was one game that you had to feel inside a bowl blindfolded and guess what it was.

...It was a dark night, and the harvest moon was out. Chloe was getting ready for her Halloween fiesta in the embrujado house in the center of the cemetery… “Chloe, you look fine!” yelled Lily. (My best friend). “Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it’s really hard to look cute AND aterrador Lily.” I replied. She rolled her eyes and we continued to get ready to leave. Maybe an hour later me and her hopped into my black 1967 Chevy Impala, and headed to la fiesta. By the time we got there la fiesta had already started. I got out of the car and looked at my “broken doll” el disfraz, and thought it didn’t look as good as anyone else’s. Especially with my batted up black and white chuck taylor high top converse. The house that was dead smack in the center of the cemetery stood at three stories tall and was absolutely terrifying. Lily ran up to a group of people who were dressed as a fantasma, momia, bruja, hombre lobo, and a vampiro. I didn’t exactly know anyone there, so I just decided to walk around the cemetery and admire the stars in the sky… and eat some of los caramelos. I also got to admire the cemetery, I noted how every tumba and every lápida was not touched or harmed....

...Blockbuster October 24, only a week before Halloween! I invited my best friend Maddy to my house. We were talking about what we planned on being for Halloween. I told Maddy “my family and I planned on having a star wars themed costume, and we also planned on taking really cute pictures!” “Who from Star Wars are you going to dress up as, Lydia?” Maddy wondered. “I'm choosing to be Princess Leia.” I responded. “Thats adorable!” exclaimed Maddy. “I still have no idea who I am going to… “ Maddy was interrupted by my mom and dad when they called us downstairs to talk to us about something they heard on the news. “Lydia, Maddy, I don't think it's the greatest idea for us to go trick or treating this Year.” “But Mom! Dad!” Lydia cried, “WHY!...

With its sweet taste and delicious flavors, it’s teeth rotting capabilities is the only downside of eating an abundance of it.

...of Intro to Expository Writing, my academic writing has greatly improved. My writing started as “Elementary school was like a fairytale; there was a pretty princess and a handsome prince, but I was an evil villain.” And has grown to “Through her diction, Walls creates various tones in order to convey to her audience that despite obstacles, it is possible to escape from a dysfunctional family in hopes of a brighter future.” Using How to Say Nothing in 500 Words, I will be evaluating my own writing by discussing my strengths, weaknesses, and how I have grown as a writer. Writing narratives have always been a personal struggle for me. Unless I passionately come up with a story, and immediately write it on paper, my narratives are bland. It is hard to write personal life-changing stories when I have a deadline. One weakness of mine is using colorful words. For example, a sentence from my personal narrative was written as “It was magnificent with its stained green carpet and plenty of wooden bookshelves stocked with colorful books.” In retrospect, this is how it could have been written, “The spacious library had wooden bookshelves stuffed with leather-bound books, which rested on gritty emerald carpet.”...

...P3 Planning for Market Research for Cadbury’s New Chocolate Bar. In business it is important for companies to conduct market research in order to find out more about their costumer and to make their strategic decision. For this ask I will be exploring some of the strategies in conducting market research and conducting my own market research for a chosen product. Stages in the Market research Process: This diagram shows the stages of conducting market research. When companies conduct market research a brief is set out to the market research team so that they know what they are doing .the brief tend to be set out in broad term and will consist of clear instruction and what they company want the market researcher to do for example, how many people are eating ice cream and what is their favourite flavours. It will provide details of the organisation, and the project required – for example, to find out how customers are likely to respond to a new type of promotional activity I have created a brief for Cadbury’s new chocolate bar aimed at children. See attached document After the market research team is given the brief, the team will then decide on what resources they will need to conduct the market research. This is important because of the extent of the required research project it is important to know what they are researching the resources they need, and how they are going to do it. It is also important to be clear about the target audience that the research is...

...Mrs. Sen’s The process of assimilation if very difficult for Mrs. Sen. Unlike the narrator of The Third and Final Continent or even Lilia’s parents, Mrs. Sen finds it impossible to integrate into her new country. Her refusal to learn how to drive is the culmination of her distress. Her frustration is voiced loudly only to Eliot, who is dealing with his own distress. There is a childish, tantrum-like angle to Mrs. Sen’s complaints. She even remarks to Eliot that he is much wise than she was at that age; she never thought for a moment that she would be separated from her family. While the reader sympathizes with her plight, her stubbornness seems greater than it need be. Her husband tries to accommodate her, the policeman does not arrest or fine her for the accident, and the workers at the fishmarket put product on hold for her. In the end, it is Mrs. Sen’s responsibility to make an effort. Unlike Mala in The Third and Final Continent – who was equally distraught about leaving her family – Mrs. Sen does not try to adjust. She is trapped in a cage of her own making. As in Sexy, the main characters have mirror images within the story. Here, Eliot and Mrs. Sen are quite similar. He is trapped in his life as well. The loneliness and distress that Mrs. Sen expresses are familiar emotions. He has front row seats for his mother’s sadness. Unlike Mrs. Sen, Eliot is unable to tell anyone about his plight because, again unlike Mrs. Sen, he is truly powerless. The sympathy one has for Eliot...

...arguments usually question or celebrate the transgressive potentials of the book (Giroux; Mendieta), or address issues of masculinity brought into the fore by their literary and cinematic representations emergent in the same decade (Tuss; Friday). However, few, if any, have addressed the literary aspirations of the text and its author. Although none of the approaches to the thematic concerns of Fight Club are unjustified, in the argument that follows I will suggest that conclusions drawn and critical judgments passed have been hasty, and not only failed to take into account the formal aspects of story-telling, but that the narrative features of Palahniuk’s text have largely went unexplored, and constitute a blind spot of the reception. Critics condemning or acclaiming the novel, and, indeed, many a cultic reader of Palahniuk ignored Fight Club as a literary narrative, and have inadvertently been repeating the catchphrases of the text, either reinforcing or trying to undermine what they have understood as their meaning. I see the significance of Palahniuk’s fiction and the literary event of Fight Club’s publication in somewhat different terms. Palahniuk’s emphasis and continued insistence on minimalism suggest that his fiction is properly understood as belonging to a literary tradition whose evaluation remains troubled and, for a large part, unsettled. Nevertheless,...

...peculiar with the influence of modernism and psychologism. However, it was characterized by its attention to details, as well as its attempt to recreate reality as it was, without any decorative language. It tried to reproduce the most detail and objective life of Great Britain before and after World Wars. Realism represented the social life and paid much attention to domestic problems. Its representatives showed tragic vision of life using satire and dark humour, but still their vision of life is much more optimistic than the modernistic one. Talking about their characters, they were social types depicted in their everyday life dealing with their virtues, morals, profession, relationships, worldview etc. Narrative form used by realists is characterized by several narrative characters in order to create an objective vision of life. The most prominent among the writers who continued the traditions of realism were: J. Galsworthy, A. Bennett, H. Wells, B. Shaw; and their followers R. Aldington, G. Orwell, J. Priestley, and E. Waugh. The Novel is certainly the most important literary form of the period. The realistic novel is represented by such novelistic forms as: the social and social-psychological novel (J. Galsworthy, E. Waugh, R. Aldington) the social-domestic novel (A. Bennett, H. Wells) the comic or satirical novel (E. Waugh) family chronicle or epic cycle (J. Galsworthy) science fiction (H. Wells). Despite all this, realism and his representatives suffered...

...were then to come. This passage is also revisited much later in the story, with James Spur, the gas attendant, reciting the story to reporters and explaining that he believes it was the Clutter killers that paid him a visit at work late at night. Overall, this passage was engaging because it revealed the motives each of the men had and their overarching character with regards to the crime that they would later commit. Book Entry #2: Pages 152-153 In this entry, I’m going to rewrite Detective Dewey’s entry into the Clutter home in a different, and more morbid tone. The original passage includes a much more warm tone than I’m going for; it even explains that Detective Dewey is comfortable looking through the house. I look to change this narrative and create the opposite; a house he’s uncomfortable searching and peaking through due to the clutter’s existence still in every room even weeks after their murder. Some include some quotes taken out of the books with exact words and sentences written out, while others go completely out of what Capote originally wrote to add to the eerie tone that I’m trying to replicate in the passages below. Dewey fitted a key into the front door of the Clutter house. Inside, the house was still warm, yet Dewey’s thought of what happened during the early morning hours of the 15th sent a shiver down his spine. The shiny-floored rooms, smelling of a lemon-scented polish, made past visitor Susan Kidwell uneasy; the day before she had been visiting the house...

...T/R 9:00-10:50 Rolfe 3134 Office Hours: W 12:00 - 2:00 pm Mailbox Location: Humanities 149 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ COURSE DESCRIPTION English 4W aims to expose students to the three major forms of literature (poetry, prose fiction, and drama) through the art of close reading, which literary scholars broadly define as the practice of scrutinizing a text carefully in order to discern complex patterns of meaning. It is impossible to spend sufficient time on the works we will be exploring within the bounds of class-time, so you will be required to spend time reading and writing on your own; this is a practice that will enable you to bring your personal experiences with these works to our discussions in class and participate in an engaged way as part of our community of learning. But our community of learning is broader than the classroom—it also includes the community organizations you will be partnering with for your service-learning. We will be investigating and interrogating a versatile metaphor—cultivation—and how it impacts the cultures and communities in which we live. “Cultivation” leaves its trace on culture both linguistically in the morphology of the word and symbolically by informing the figures we use to talk about the establishment, maintenance and the dissolution of a culture -- as when a character in Shakespeare’s play Richard II refers to England as a “sea-walled garden”...
