...writing is general or specific, formal or informal, or full of jargon. IGN Entertainment uses an informal approach, talking in first person and using conversational style writing. There is very little jargon in the review, and what it does have are common words for the gamer-audience the article is directed towards. GamesRadar+ follows a more formal route. They stay away from using the first person, and stick with the second person throughout. While they primarily stick with common words, they are not afraid to throw in words such as “amorphous” and sentences like “The Walking Dead never pretends to be anything less than a cruel, dour analysis of humanities downfall.” (Cooper, emphasis added) This plays into the higher grade score received on the readability test for this review. When looking at diction, the IGN review does a better job that GamesRadar+ because of its informal, laid-back, style that appeals to the audience of this...

...Name Ronald Kent Robey Course BIBL 104 Date September 21, 2011 (Summary of the books of the Old Testament Books) Exodus The Book of Exodus Exodus is a history book in the Bible's Old Testament. And Exodus is also a law book. The people called Hebrews were slaves in Egypt. God sent Moses to free them (Exodus 3). The people in Egypt did not want to free these slaves. But God caused many terrible troubles in Egypt. These troubles forced the people in Egypt to free their Hebrew slaves. So, the Hebrew people left Egypt. God promised the land called Israel to the Hebrew people. But the journey to Israel was through a desert. God did many wonderful things to help the people through the desert. God provided water (Exodus 17) and food (Exodus 16). Moses met God at a mountain called Sinai (Exodus 19). There, God gave the law to Moses (Exodus chapters 20-30). Moses made a special tent where the priests would serve God (Exodus chapters 35-40). We are writing books and articles to help you to study this Bible book.

(space) The Book of Exodus begins more than four hundred years after Joseph, his brothers, and the Pharaoh he once served have all died. The new leadership in Egypt—feeling threatened by Jacob’s descendants, who have increased greatly in size—embarks on a campaign to subdue the Israelites, forcing them into slavery and eventually...

...Steve Jobs and Father Jose Maria Arizmendiarrieta were both exemplary leaders. In just 35 years, Steve Jobs took Apple Computers from a mere idea to a $380 billion dollar enterprise. Father Arizmendiarrieta educated and aided the first founders of the Mondragón Cooperative that today employs more than 80 000 people. Great achievements from two man who simply cannot be defined by any one “textbook” leadership style. It appears that in real life leadership theories may be applied in synergy, allowing the flexibility for a leader to adapt their style as the situation requires. Whilst Steve Jobs and Father Arizmendiarrieta were both effective leaders, one stands out. Father Arizmendiarrieta led a population to self-sufficiency and whilst never the vast financial success of Apple, Mondragón’s continuing existence is the legacy of a truly superior leader. Five theories; trait, behaviours, power motives, charismatic and transformational leadership will be discussed in turn, each one examining the similarities and/or differences Steve Jobs and Father Arizmendiarrieta displayed and how these differences made Father Arizmendiarrieta the more outstanding leader. Trait leadership is one of the original leadership theories and has resurfaced recently with Zaccaro (2006) arguing that traits and attributes combined, can be a significant predictor of leadership ability. Personality traits can be divided into general and task related traits (Dubrin 2013, pp. 37-50). Effective leaders display...

...Communication barriers in public discourse Document Design 4(1), 22–41 © 2003 by John Benjamins Publishing Co. 23 Inger Askehave and Karen Korning Zethsen Communication barriers in public discourse The patient package insert Keywords: Public communication, asymmetrical communication, target group, genre, patient package inserts The production of expert-to-layperson documents in private and public companies is an area of research that is gradually gaining ground in research communities throughout the world. This article discusses the nature of public communication written by experts or semiexperts and aimed at a large and heterogeneous audience, often potentially the entire population of a country. The article analyzes common barriers to this kind of communication, and considers topics such as the implications of very broad target groups, expertto-layperson communication and the legislative introduction of mandatory genres as opposed to genres which have evolved naturally over time. The case of the patient package insert is outlined as a prototypical example of ‘public communication’ su¬ering from the problems brought about by the existence of these common barriers. Introduction Public documents have long been considered problematic and have attracted the interest of document designers and discourse analysts, not to mention entire movements such as the Plain English Movement. Numerous organizations, committees, and boards have been set up at national and international...

Use a black or blue pen. • Remember to complete the submission information on every page you turn in. Multiple-Choice Questions (1 hour) Section 1 consists of selections from prose works and questions about their content, form, and style. Questions 1-10. Read the following passage, from "The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charlote Perkins Gilman (1899) carefully before you choose your answers. You may refer to the passage as often as necessary while answering the questions. It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer. A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, I would say a haunted house and reach the height of romantic felicity—but that would be asking too much of fate! Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it. Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long untenanted? John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage. John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures. John is a physician, and perhaps—(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)—perhaps...
