...He explains that she is sick and frail, but this gesture shows that he is concerned and dependent on his mother. Mitch does a good job of resisting the insults that are thrown at him. 3. How does Stanley treat Stella? A: Stanley treats Stella in a very egotistical manner. He is very controlling of Stella. For example, Stella asked when the poker game would end and Stanley said that it would end once the boys felt like it. This is an example of Stanley acting in charge and controlling other people. 4. How does Blanche behave with Mitch? What is she looking for? A: Blanche behaves well with Mitch and connects with Mitch on a personal level. They have both experienced grief in their life and are able to share their feelings about grief. Blanche is looking for someone who has these feelings that she could talk to. 5. Examine the symbolism of the red paper shade over the bare light bulb. A: The symbolism is that by putting the red paper on the light bulb, there is an effect of making Blanche younger and better looking. In the bright light, one can see Blanche’s true age and her many problems. However, when a naked light bulb is removed, she can claim to be a woman of a bright and youthful age. 6. How does the fight between Stella and Stanley escalate? How is Blanche’s...

...I chose to write in a diary form, from Stella’s prospective. I chose this form to display Stella’s emotions and feelings after a key scene or event in the play. I chose Stella because she is stuck in a territorial battle where Stanley and Blanche are fighting for her love and affection. The purpose of the letters was to show what Stella was really feeling and to highlight the conflict she was facing throughout the play. To display her true feelings and emotions that she might have been feeling rather than what see when she is around Stanley. For example, Stella was very mad at Stanley for telling Mitch those stories about Blanche, but she never confronts him about it. This highlights that Stella would hold back on saying things to Stanley because...

...After the merger, Anheuser-Busch Inbev would become the world’s largest producer of the beer. I believe that the newly merged company is in a good position to move forward and consolidate its newly acquired supremacy. It can derive its merger experience from the merger of Ambev-Interbrew. It can follow the similar path it followed during the earlier merger though it would have to customize the newly formed company to suit to the preferences of North American customers. The board can take the following actions to create value to the company’s shareholders Brand Portfolio ABInbev offers a wide variety of portfolio of more than 300 brands including Becks, Stella Artois, Leffe Hoegaarden, Jupiler, Budweiser, Michelob among others. The company should draw plans on how it should leverage the brand portfolio to aggressively penetrate into the new and existing markets. Find Common Synergies The merged company should find the common synergies like the way it has done during Ambev-Interbrew merger. Cost savings can be made by leveraging the existing facilities of Anheuser-Busch to bottle the Inbev’s portfolio of brands. There are also synergies that can be obtained in the Marketing area. Follow work culture of Inbev The newly formed company should follow the Inbev’s meritocratic culture as defined by one of Inbev’s shareholder, Jorge Paulo Lemann. There are significant cost savings to be made by doing away with luxurious executive offices, corporate planes and expensive perks the...

...The biggest producer of beer in American is Anheuser-Busch (AB). Formally the largest brewer in America, Anheuser-Busch is now part of the global beverage company InBev, the maker of approximately 200 brands of beer and soft drinks that primarily includes Stella Artois, Becks, Leffe, Hoegaarden, Skol, and Michelob. AB InBev, through its interest in Grupo Modelo, also offers the Corona brand. The company is valued at 130 billion dollars with revenues over 31 billion worldwide. The flagship product is Budweiser, the most popular beer brand in North America with a 20% market share along with Bud Light. Part of the reason for this control of the market is the complex system of distribution in the beer industry put in place since the end of prohibition. This system has enabled brewers to tightly control their distributors and in turn, distributors have control of their individual markets. Before prohibition, brewers controlled their own bars. If you wanted Budweiser you had to go to a Budweiser bar. They provided the bar owners not only with beer but gave loans for furniture, beer equipment and other needs. They required the owners to carry only their brands. After the repeal of prohibition, states enacted strict laws to control the alcohol industry. The three-tier system of beer distribution was developed. This is a 2-level vertical marketing system where the brewer awards a distributorship to a geographic area. AB does not sell directly to consumers; they sell Budweiser to the...

...to establish global name recognition, Interbrew began by acquiring and improving, not completely changing, a variety of already successful companies in growth markets rather than simply marketing their product. Focusing on improving pre-existing brands provided some security that the Belgian style beer wouldn’t see failure among countries and cultures that were familiar with certain beers and companies. As they grew, Interbrew paid close attention to trends in consumer price demands and global products, using them to direct company growth. 2. The choice to use Stella Artois as their flagship brand contributed to the success of Interbrew strongly because of the marketing strategy used to introduce it. Predicting increased global interest in beers with authentic and international foundations, Interbrew chose Stella Artois, over the less successful Labatt Blue, to present as a premium beer. The company introduced Stella Artois exclusively in key cities, focusing on popular places within these cities. The beer was advertised as a sophisticated European lager and was...

...discuss the role of desire in the play. There are many moments in the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' where Blanche DuBois and desire are inextricably linked. Indeed, she arrives in Elysian Fields after taking a streetcar named desire. One critic has said that the journey which Blanche takes to get to her sisters apartment on a streetcar named Desire and and then changing to a streetcar named Cemetries reflects her overall journey through life. For example, in her youth she rode on her desires and during as well as after the play takes place, she changes to a morbid route, described as "Cemetries". In some sense, her quest for desire was as short lived as her tram ride. Another moment where the idea of desire is evident is when Stanley tells Stella that "I (he) am the king around here, so don't forget it." which reflecs his desire to have power and control over everyone in his 'domain'. This is one moment in the play where Stanley's true controlling ideas are shown to the audience. Through Stanley, Williams presents us with the idea that he is one who has achieved his desrie of being unnapposed in his society. An example of this is at the end of the play where Stanley isn't held accountable for a crime he has committed (the rape of Blanche) and his life goes back to how it was at the beginning of the story with him keeping control of his life and the lives of the surrounding characters. This also gives the audience a sense of futility of the life and how so much can change but at the...

...importance of each character's actions in order to create a masterpiece that consumes you instantly. Feminism is the most prominent literary criticism within A Streetcar Named Desire. Patriarchy is seen repeatedly in almost all of the interactions Stanley has with his wife Stella and her sister Blanche. In scene two of the play Stella doesn’t want Blanche around when Stanley has his poker night so she tells Stanley, “I'm taking Blanche to Galatoire's for supper and then to a show, because it's your pok'r night.” (Williams 32) and he replies, “How about my supper, huh? I'm not going to no Galatoire's for supper!” (Williams 32) to her. This portrays feminism because Stella knows that Blanche would call...

...Kowalski. Stella Kowalski abandons her aristocratic upbringings to live in unholy matrimony with Stanley Kowalski in the slums of New Orleans. Perhaps Stella’s lack of independence from her pampered past is the driving force within her marriage because Stella cannot survive the real world without Stanley. On the other hand, Stella and Stanley’s marriage could simply be built on a foundation of sexual desire. Their sexual relationship with one another is the most important aspect of the Kowalski’s relationship. The fact that Stella has declared her attraction to Stanley’s sexual aggression and the knowledge that Stanley’s violent aggression undertones sexuality leads the readers to believe that the latter statement suits the Kowalski’s marriage best. Therefore, it can be reasoned that the driving force within Stella’s marriage to Stanley Kowlaski is not Stella’s dependence upon her husband, but rather Stella and Stanley’s carnal desire for one another....

...Transmittal letters often accompany reports and inform readers of a report's context. Typically, the letter includes information not found in the report. For example, the letter contains information about the particular project and/or due dates. A Transmittal Letter is a business letter and should be formatted accordingly; that is, you should include the recipient's address, your address, a salutation and closing. Depending on the project, you may also need to include contact information. Always check with your instructor to determine whether or not you should attach a transmittal letter to your report. In Finance, a Letter of Transmittal is a document used by a security holder to accompany certificates surrendered in an exchange or other corporate action. A Letter of Transmittal may also be a distribution list with the recipients of a memo, report or contract. A transmittal letter accompanies a document and explains what the document is, why it should receive the reader's consideration, and what the reader should do with it. A transmittal or cover letter accompanies a larger item, usually a document. The transmittal letter provides the recipient with a specific context in which to place the larger document and simultaneously gives the sender a permanent record of having sent the material. Transmittal letters are usually brief. The first paragraph describes what is being sent and the purpose for sending it. A longer transmittal letter may summarize key elements...
