...Two Similar Paths Eng125: Introduction To Literature February 7, 2011 The short stories entitled A Worn Path by Eudora Welty and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost are extremely opposites in many different aspects however they can have somewhat of a similar meaning. They were both written twenty years apart. Either piece of literature has a long list of characters. A Worn Path’s main focus is about a black woman in the year of 1941. The journeys that are characterized in these writings are symbolic of some meaningful lifelong precedence that one should adhere to. I intend to show that these to paths may not cross one another but they do symbolize hope and promise is at the end of the journey. In The Road Not Taken, roads in the woods and forks in roads symbolize crises and decisions. Similar forks symbolize for us the center of free will and fate. (Frost, 1916) We are free to choose, but we do not really know beforehand what we are choosing between. Our direction is determined by a choice and it is impossible to separate the two. This poem does not advise. It does not say, “When you come to a fork in the road, study the footprints and take the road less traveled by. Frost’s focus is more complicated. First, there is no less-traveled road in this poem; it isn’t even an option. Next, the poem seems more concerned with the question of how the concrete present will look from a future vantage point. (Frost, 1916) In A Worn Path, is the tale of the unstoppable love and care...

Be Mary Jane.” (43) Pecola was preoccupied on literally ingesting what she considered this ideal figure of beauty. The Mary Jane candies are interesting as well, being an example of the power that is held over the young black girls. In addition to Claudia and Pecola acting as a contrast and similarity to shirley Temple, both representing the underprivileged side of society, Morrison also includes families and individual characters who aspire to live like the ruling class and seek social equality by disassociating themselves from the lower class African Americans.

Jeff Bezos, vice-president of the Wall Street firm D.E. Shaw, left his job in 1994, moved to Seattle, and began to work on a business plan that would become Amazon.com. After reading a report that projected annual web growth at 2,300 percent, Bezos drew up a list of 20 products that could be sold on the internet. He then narrowed his list to what he felt were the five most promising: compact discs, computer hardware, computer software, videos, and books. Bezos eventually decided his venture would sell books over the web, due to the large worldwide market for literature, the low price that could be offered for books, and the tremendous selection of titles available in print. A businessman by the name of Nick Hanauer believed in Bezos' idea and invested $40,000 in his venture. When Amazon first debuted online in 1995, its layout was not as flashy as it is today. In fact, the site looked very plain and unattractive to most visitors, causing the business to start on shaky ground. A man by the name of Tom Alburg decided to invest $100,000 in Amazon in 1995, which helped the company fund a better-looking website and hosting capabilities. If he wanted people to come back as customers, Bezos new he had to create more than just a bookstore. The option of buyers to write their own book...

...PDCA similar to DMAIIC ? PDCA and DMAIIC procedures are used in business for the control, and ongoing improvement of processes and products. Both procedures use similar approaches as they identify opportunities for improvement, collection and review of process data, initiating changes in the process to seek improved control of conditions and making ongoing corrections in the process to achieve perfection. The PDCA or Plan Do Check Act was an offshoot penned in the 1950’s by the Japanese at Toyota after PDSC, Plan Do Study Act originally crafted by Dr. Deming in the early 1950’s. The PDCA process appears more of a closed loop system where by backing up one step in the process you utilize information gained to make improvements. In effect this action of utilizing the knowledge gained helps drive the output of the process to perfection in a closed loop cycle manner. The process also appears easier to execute, and administer by individuals without extensive Green Belt or Black Belt training. The PDCA process later became the predecessor to the DMAIIC process that was popularized by the refinement of Six Sigma in the mid 1980’s by Motorola. The DMAIIC procedure to improving processes and products appears from research appears more detail oriented, driven by data than the PDCA procedure. Both procedures focus on the same end result, but resources utilized for execution of the DMAIIC process appear to be more comprehensive requiring more time to obtain results similar to those...

Tillery, Strayer University, South Charlotte campus, Charlotte, NC. After the Civil War, black Americans encountered a new world of opportunities. After years of enslavement, or at least the perpetual threat of enslavement if they had already freed, African Americans confronted a new question: what does it mean to be free? What does one do after the bonds of slavery have been broken (pg. 275). African Americans in the South demonstrated their freedom in numerous ways, large and small. Many bought dogs, some purchased firearms, and several held mass meetings without white supervision, all actions that were often denied them under slavery. While ex-slaves explored a life based on the free-labor vision, members of the defeated Confederacy sought to maintain as much of the old order as possible. To this end, they worked to prevent ex-slaves from acquiring economic autonomy or political rights. (pg. 276), this is how the diversity issues began between the North and the South, because the growing northern...

Amazon is considered one of the biggest retail internet companies of today.It is a plain and simple site that attracts an online community. Amazon opened for business July 16, 1995 by a young man named Jeff Bezos. It started out as nothing more than a few people packing and shipping boxes of books from a two car garage in Bellevue, Washington. The books were ordered on line then packaged and mailed away. Today, Amazon is one of the largest retail online companies in the world. Amazon started out as a only having books on sale to being able to purchase items ranging from music CD’s, to clothing. The best thing about Amazon would be the price of the products/ items. Many of the items are sold cheaper on Amazon than in a local retail store. Amazon has grown to be the easiest way of shopping online. Amazon’s core business is definitely good as well as keeping their promises. It has grown from books to products in over 30 categories but the business model are intact.

...Similar concepts between Christianity and Islam Christianity and the Islam religion are the two largest religions in the world. Although both vary in different ways, both religions do have a wide range of beliefs and practices. However some things regarding both religions have similarities. Through my investigating I found several things that were similar, but I will only list the similarities I found the most interesting and dominant. 1. The first similarity I discovered was the Lord’s Prayer in the Bible (Christianity)”Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name” and the opening chapter in the Qur’an (Islam)”Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, the compassionate, the merciful. King of the day of reckoning”. Both opening statements go to the root of all religions professed by man. These opening statements also tell of adoration of the Lord. The whole prayer of both the Islam religion and the Christian religion are universal prayers that are standard.[1] Both of these opening prayers are short and to the point. They open with professing their adoration of the Lord. As the prayers continue both have submission of man to the Lord and then supplication. 2. Another thought on similarities between the two religions is that both are monotheistic. This means that both believe in one God/Allah. Christians believe in God and Muslims believe in Allah. Both religions agree that there is one God who created the universe and is sovereign in the lives of men.[2] They both...
