...Cotina Moore English 1302 Essay #1 Southern Gothic Fiction 02 March 2015 “What Is In A Title” A Literary Analysis of Flannery O’ Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” “Good Country People,” and “Everything That Rises Must Converge” “I am not afraid that the book will be controversial, I’m afraid it will not be controversial-Flannery O’Connor Flannery O’Connor is considered one of the best short story authors of the 20th century. Born in Savannah Georgia in 1925, O’Connor was a devout Catholic. Her writings incorporated religious themes and her southern life (Bio). When reading O’Connor’s short stories, it is very surprising and shocking that the stories are often dark and controversial. Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” “Good Country People,” and “Everything That Rises Must Converge” use macabre, grotesque violence, irony, and grace through the depiction of her characters to illustrate that when an individual is faced with “grave” circumstances; those are the moments when grace is realized. Flannery O’Connor incorporates the use of macabre and violence in her short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” masterfully to elicit an unforgettable moment of grace from a character when faced with her “grave” circumstance. The use of grotesque violence is vividly displayed as a southern family is horrendously murdered by an escaped convict, The Misfit and his accomplices. An “eerie” sense of foreshadowing is realized when the protagonist, the grandmother...

... 3 Impact on Management Style 4 Genesis of Personal Style 4 Conclusion 5 Personal Thinking Styles Completing the life style inventory survey showed me a very interesting perception of myself. My primary personal thinking style was humanistic and encouraging at 85%. This style has manifested in my life as a compassionate person who sees the best in people and yet still encourages them to be better. I strive to be a valuable member of a team and it is highly important for those who work with me to understand that their differences and point of view is important and accepted. The backup thinking I exhibit is approval ranked in the 57th percentile. This fell in the medium range. Although it is in the medium range, I am closest to the high range. There was no surprise when my approval status was that I seek approval from others and may be resentful when I do not get the approval I work so hard for. Approval, in my mind, does not equal like or dislike. I feel that I have worked hard to be a productive citizen through my veteran and educational background...

...I. INTRODUCTION A s Jose Rizal , our national hero once said, “ The youth is the hope of our country.” And there was another saying that states, “The youth of today is the hope of tomorrow.” These quotes are very true . That is why as teachers, our ultimate goal is to develop young Filipinos into citizens that can contribute and promote the common good of our country. One of the most annoying experiences for teachers like me is when students are absent. We prepare our lessons with the objective that 100% of the class will learn from the day’s classroom activities, and it is most satisfying when all students are present on that day and the days thereafter to ensure maximum learning. Sadly, it is very difficult to achieve perfect attendance. No matter how interesting and well-prepared our lessons and teaching materials are, there are bound to be learners who miss out on the day’s activities—willingly or unwillingly. I would like to minimize this problem, if not eradicate it completely. That is why I conducted an action research to understand them better. I wanted a more accurate analysis of why some of my students are perennial absentees, so I could formulate plans, projects, and programs to minimize their absences. I hope that it could enlighten us. Even if you are not an educator, you may be able to help a student to stay in school. II. PROPONENT OF THE STUDY MELANIO V. OPO, JR.

...My Diversity Experience Metropolitan State University Introduction The wheelchair experience was an eye opening experience for me. While I was conducting it, I had some very interesting, embarrassing, exhausting and informative incidents that I can use to my personal and professional advantage in the future. I will provide an analysis of skills demonstrated while conducting the experience along with specific examples to enlighten you on the experience. I have taken into consideration the environmental barriers that I experienced along my four hours often-agonizing journey, and will present a description of architectural and transportation barriers. Social reactions and personal reactions to the wheelchair experience will also be stated. And, I will conclude with professional implications and strategies that will help people without disabilities enhance their attitudes toward people with disabilities in the workplace and in life as general. Situation/Setting/Description Getting oriented with and accustomed to using a wheelchair seemed like it was going to be easy. At the beginning of my experience, I didn't fully understand how challenging using a non-motorized wheelchair would be. I rented a wheelchair from a local medical supply store, that was fairly new, and had only been used once or twice in the past according to the store clerk. Observation/Reflection I tried to imitate a disabled person in a wheelchair as much possible as I could : When I tried to get...

...Essay # 2 “Based off of my already conceptualized knowledge of the word, I would have to say that a feminist is a person who strongly supports female rights.” This is a quote from my introduction paragraph of the first essay we wrote for this class. Having been in this class and read the works written by feminist authors, I have a better understanding of what a feminist actually is. I also have a better understanding of my identification with feminism. Feminism is an ongoing collection of movements and ideologies that advocate for the betterment of women and a feminist is someone who supports this idea. However, my answer still remains the same as it did; I do not identify as a feminist. It would be an insult to feminist leaders for me to call myself one. I support feminist ideas and feel as though women have been oppressed and still are oppressed, but I am not an active supporter, therefore I would not call myself a feminist. I feel as though a feminist is someone who is active in their support for the movement, i.e. advocating for women by either teaching, writing, protesting, or doing things of that nature to improve the treatment of women. There is a major difference in saying that you support feminism and actually doing something to show that support. To further explain my understanding of feminism, I want to uncover the different layers of oppression that women face. While in the 1900’s the goal of feminism was for women to receive equal treatment to men, feminism is...

...justice system treats African Americans. Limitations The main limitation of this research is that it is quite shallow, since it only focuses on one line of study. Precisely, this article only focuses on wrongful convictions of African Americans instead of widening their research regarding racial profiling (Shatz, 2004). Although focusing on this area helps the authors in giving details, it limits the scope of other researchers who are interested in learning about racial profiling. Secondly, the search on this article is only based on two books: Michelle’s “The New Jim Crow” and Riaz Hassan’s book called “Inside Muslim Minds”. Although this does not necessarily mean the research if shallow, one is not sure about the extent to which the analysis of information was done. Researchers feel that the authors should have confronted more credible sources. Implications of...

...analyzing is to break the subject into small, ideas or detailed parts, and where, by looking closely at those parts you identify the purpose or process of discovery to reach a conclusion of the situation. 2. Critical Thinker In my opinion a critical thinker is a multi-dimensional person involved in the process of analyzing, processing and evaluating information. It is also an attitude that shows the ability to explore, probe, ask and search out answers and solution. 3. “Space Invaders” The method does Stengel uses in his introduction to generate reader interest is narrative ( a short story or anecdote). Furthermore, when i was reading the introduction the author spark my curiosity to continue reading the text. It was interesting to me because this is the way that people live today. Its very common looking around, and detect many space invaders. For example, in elevators, people are wedging themselves in just before the doors close or on the street, pedestrains are zigzagging through the human traffic. In short, the phenomenon of invading personal space has become more serious in the current society and this space varies across individuals according to factors such as culture, age, and gender. 4. According to the author, I understand “personal space” as the area around a person which they prefer not be occupied by another person. It is the surrounding area that psychologically, subconsciously, they regard as "their turf," the area that they will feel uncomfortable or...

...hands of the other character Pocahontas. This story aims to recall the humanity that the myth of the Pocahontas stole from the real Indian girl. Camilla argues that the Algonquian girl was overthrown into the mythical Pocahontas to assist the needs of the settlers and supporters of Jamestown journey as well as interested spectators within the government and general community of England. Since that time, the love poets, advocates of American exceptionalism, and Hollywood tycoons have continued to twist the reality that the real Pocahontas is no longer in existence. According to Camilla, she “was as brave as all her people – but a real and complicated woman with her own plans, goals and ideas. After the affirmation of this fact, Camilla enlightens the truth concealed over the course of four centuries. The early chapters pay attention to the social, political and cultural ways of both the Englishmen and the Virginia Algonquians before the day of colonization. The author also analyzes the months following the foundation of Jamestown and the hostility that followed as well as the kidnapping of Pocahontas,...

...Name: Instructor: Course Date: Art Report; critique Critique refers to a systematic and discipline analysis which is always written or can be presented in an oral form. In most cases, critique has been viewed as the acts of analyzing documents, literary work or pictures with an aim of making judgments that are negative and trying to find some faults in the analysis. However, critique does contain some form of recognizing the merits entailed in the subject matter and can be given a philosophical view of a practice that involves doubt. The entire sense of critique has been contemporarily been influenced by the critique of enlighten which involves authority and prejudice. This is always shaped by the autonomy and emancipation from the authorities in the political fronts and the religious authorities. The Florida Scene Florida scene is a pictorial presentation by Thomas Moran. Moran in his presentation greatly bases on nature, which largely is in the center of influencing his art. In his scene, Thomas uses shapes that are predominantly organic and gives his art the natural and environmental taste.

...all of the answers to the world. The readings we started on took us to Socrates in his last days and arguing with friends if he should escape or not. We will get to look at though the worldview analysis Socrates findings of his years searching and his personal view portrayed by ones around him. Condition Bodily Attachment Socrates believes the human problem is inside us ourselves. We are all souls inhibiting bodies and Socrates states that the body is our problem. “So long as we keep to the body and our soul is contaminated with this imperfection, there is no chance of our ever attaining satisfactorily to our object, which we assert to be Truth.” (Phaedo 66b) He talks about how the body is in desire of riches, cloths, and ornaments then argues if the soul needs all those things. The body is distracting us from the truth. Socrates believes that death is the solution to all. He states, “I fancy that this (death) will help us to find out the answer to our problem. (Phaedo 64d) I agree with Socrates because I believe we have a soul as well and it continues after death. The body needs the soul as much as the soul needs the body though and because no one is positive about death and us continuing we do our part to keep the body alive as well. Misology Socrates also states that the human condition is caused by bad experiences that ruin everyone’s look on life. “Misanthropy is induced by believing in somebody quite uncritically. You assume that a person is absolutely...

...Are Sweatshops Beneficial? January 22, 2016 Situation Analysis What I generally know about sweatshops is they are a horrible place to work. They are the lowest of the low. You work long hours for barely any money. For my audience, being my instructor and fellow classmates, I would assume they know at least that much, more or less. For the instructor’s expectations of my paper would include a couple of things to me. First and foremost a complete understanding of the chosen core reading. Within that I will be able to educate my audience more in depth of this subject being sweatshops. Another instructor expectation would to do all that within a well-organized, proper formatted paper. As for my audience expectations I expect they would to be properly informed on this subject before I put my personal opinion in the paper. I find this subject to be especially relevant to today’s world because we are affected by it daily. A lot of the mainstream products we have and use are made by companies that have sweatshops overseas. Most people would be interested in this because of what we buy can have an effect on the workers. Even though we don’t see it first-hand here in Indianapolis, Indiana, it does matter us as a human being. With this paper I hope to enlighten my fellow classmates on the core reading. Since the paper is more pro-sweatshops I will give some of the cons to it as my response. I want this paper to help educate the reader so they can make a more informed opinion on...

...Theo Siggelakis Prof. T Dansdill February 20, 2012 Of Books Books either encompass my thinking or they stretch the limits of my imagination. Some of the most inspiring books are those which capture life, as I know it down to every specific detail. These books are similar to watching an HD TV; every detail is just so pronounced and accurate. Books that resemble this beautiful real life portrayal could be like J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in The Rye. Every emotion that Salinger delineates through his characterization of Holden Caulfield is so potent that those details resonate even more for someone dealing with a similar internal struggle. When I read the book at 15, every sensory detail that Salinger described helped better illuminate part of my own internal struggle. The over exaggeration of the resentment of society as being in genuine really captured my own internal resentment for molds that people contrive themselves to fit. The one scene with Caulfield sitting in the bathtub depressed after refusing sex from a hooker will always be infused into my constant sub consciousness. When I just feel worn out and pushed to my emotional limit, I see that image burned bright into my memory because that scene is the ultimate depiction of frustration and stress. Although, this style of writing may be beautiful, sometimes it is nice to escape the hyperrealism captured in a book like Catcher in The Rye, and instead read something that expands the mind’s imagination. The contrary to the...
