3. Find your favorite part of the article. Underline it. Explain why it resonates with you. • I found the article really interesting even though it was based on the movie “Groundhog Day”. The article focuses on explaining the message of this move. My favorite part from the article was “When we get beyond denial and resent over the conditions of life and death… and accept our situation”. I have a fixed mindset which sometimes causes me to be in denial. I am trying to change my ability of how I think. To accept a situation means having a growth mindset. Phil Connors had fixed mindset when he first became aware of what was happening to him. He was in denial until he changes his mindset and ability to learn. It resonates with me because the message is closely tied to my life. 4. Is there anything in the article with which you disagree? Find it and explain. • Personally, I couldn’t find anything not disagree upon because the article was well written. This article was based on pursuing a message and true fantasy. And I believe anything is possible in fantasy. 5. The following is from the article. Paraphrase it. “In telling this story, the movie hits on a message that is commonly found elsewhere and that appears to express an essential truth. When we get beyond denial and resentment over the conditions of life and death…then he accepts the fact that everyone else is condemned to die.”

Page 2 • Phil Connors the main character of the movie “Groundhog Day” is portrayed by Bill Murray. Phil Connors gets stuck in Groundhog Day as if that day repeats every other day. He denies whatever is going on because of his fixed mindset. He is unaware of what is to happen to him. Later in the movie, he learns what’s going on with him and changes his ability to deny into acceptance. Bill’s character accepts that he was stuck in one day for a long-long time. After Phil realizes, he cannot save the vulnerable old man dying due to malnutrition; he accepts that everyone has to die one day. His character grows as the movie progresses.

The empirical evidence, based on Malaysian data, points to Islamic money market profit rates/yields that are highly correlated and move in tandem with conventional money market rates. Given the dynamics of fund flows and...

Die Meuterei Von Opis

...DIE MEUTEREI VON OPIS (ARRIAN VII, 8; ii, M.

(See G. Pasquali, Storia della tradizione e critica del testo, Florence, 1934, p. 214 n. 3. The evidence for P.'s text of T. is scanty, but there are one or two passages which deserve more consideration than they have received.)
