...Hot Sunny Day One Sunday morning, hot, and humid sunny day. I woke up, because the sun hits my eyes, and because of that, my window shade fall off. Clearly, I could see it was on my dirty floor. There was a rat sleeping on it. I didn't plan to move the rat, because I was so tried that I couldn't move. I was sitting on the edge of my bed. I stared out at the wall for at less an hour. Then I looked down. As I'm moving down with my eyes. My eyes were so slow that I felt that I'm like a robot. When I tried to get myself up, as I moved away from the edge of the bed. My boxer was like a glue, clinching onto my bed sheet. I would had to use some muscle in order to get it off. It was tricky because my body was sweaty and sticky. I got it off, then I found out that my bed sheet has a yellow mark where I just sat on. It was yellow and it smelled bad. It smelled like a dirty swamp. I almost punk but, I held in. I got into the bathroom. The moment I opened the door, I jumped because there was a girl who was half naked with her head sticking into the toilet. The floor was covered in blood and the sink as well. I had no idea what was going on. I closed the door awkwardly and said, “Please take your...

...The poem titled "Those Winter Days" by Robert Hayden, the text from the Compact Literature (KIRSZNER & MANDELL), is about a hard working father who expresses the love he has for his son by doing simple things on a sunday morning. The poem is about a lonely father who wakes up on early on a sunday. Typically sunday is supposed to be a resting day, a day when you get to sleep in and relax but not this father. Regardless of that he wakes up early and does and with the hard labor that his hand have experienced throughout the weekday he *lyric poem, free verse *Two themes are love and ingratitude stanza1 Those Winter Sundays" tells about a father from his child's point of view. The first line "Sundays too my father got up early" (Hayden 1) indicates that the father wakes up early everyday, presumably part of his sacrifice to earn a living for his family as head of the household. The rest of the lines in the first stanza paint the picture of a father who, though it is still dark and though he is tired from working most of the week, tends to the fire - a task he takes upon himself and has never received gratitude for. stanza2 The second stanza describes the child getting up, first waking up to the cold then eventually being enveloped by the warmth of the house that his father started. In spite of the warmth, though, he is not eager to get out of bed but rather, tries to delay joining his father, "fearing the chronic angers of that house stanza3 Finally, the last...

...THOSE WINTER SUNDAY: ANALYSIS The poem “Those Winter Sunday” by Robert Hayden has the general motif of appreciation using the imagery as one of its primary tools of supporting this motif. The poem was a manly a reflection of the speakers youth. during which the speaker talks about his youth and he/she explains his/her lack of understanding and appreciations of the depth his/her father went through in making sure that the speaker as well as the rest of his/hers family was well taken care of. During the speakers youth he/she held a lot of resentment toward the father, thinking that he/she was the cause of the hardship they faced. in the speakers present day and age the speaker never directly speaks of having its own family but was implied in the last stanza of the poem “love austere and lonely offices”[14]. “Sundays too my father got up early”[1] this first line especially the “Sunday” lets the readers know the depth his/her father worked. The father of the speaker even went as far as to work on Sunday a day that everyone presumably knows as a day of rest. Also letting us know how hard his father worked the speaker stated in the fourth line of the poem “from labor in the weekday weather mad” his father not only worked tireless through the weekday but also thru the weekend. With him working throughout the weekday and weekday the speaker father woke up early and “put his clothes on in the blue black cold” and with him doing this he often woke everyone else in the house causing...

With hundreds of customers and scores of jobs at any one time, she could no longer say without hesitation whether she had a dozen arborvitae bushes in stock or when Mrs. Carnack’s estate would need a new load of bark mulch. But she knew when Rose had been up all night with her baby, when Gary was likely to be late because he had driven to see his sick father over the weekend, and how to deal with Ellen when she was depressed because of her boyfriend’s behavior. She kept track of the birthdays of every employee and even those of their children. She was up every morning by five-thirty arranging schedules so that John could get his son out of daycare at four o’clock and Martina could be back in town for her afternoon high school equivalency classes. Paying all this attention to employees may have led Ong to make a single bad business decision that almost destroyed the company. She provided extensive landscaping to a new mall on credit, and when the mall never opened and its owners went bankrupt, Plant World found itself in deep trouble. The company had virtually no cash and had to pay off the bills for the mall plants, most of which were not even salvageable. One Friday, Ong called a meeting with her employees and leveled...

In order to eliminate this new problem of increased costs, it will be necessary for our company to amend our existing store hours. To begin with, stores will now be closed on Sundays. In addition, Monday through Saturday, each work day will be shortened by two hours, and stores will be opening one hour later and closing one hour earlier. Instead of the usual work week consisting of 8-hour days five days a week, managers will now be required to work 10-hour days four days of the week. This change of schedule will not only benefit our organization but it will also benefit you personally because it will allow you to save additional money on gas, will give your more free time to enjoy with your family, and it will allow you to feel less stress. In addition to these changes, part-time employees will need to consolidate all of their hours into 1, 2, or 3 day workweeks, depending on the number of hours that they are normally scheduled to work.
