...Phase 3 Discussion Board Richard Libeau MATH215-1301B-01 March 4, 2013 Task Type: Discussion Board Deliverable Length: 3 Parts: See Assignment Details Points Possible: 75 Graphs and Trees Task Background: Graphs and trees provide you with ways to visualize data sets, and the opportunity to do analysis on the data (e.g., shortest path). Knowing the structure of a database enables you to choose a proper algorithm for searching for data within a database. Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write up to 3 paragraphs that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Part I (25 points – distributed as follows) Trees are somewhat less complicated than graphs, which makes things like data searching easier, when a data has the structure of a tree. However, not all data can be represented by a tree. Give an example of a data set that cannot be represented by a tree, but that can be represented by a more general graph. 1) Create, show, and describe your data set. (5 points) V = {Bill, John, Kim, James, Chris, Destiny, Noah, Paul} E = {(Bill, John), (Kim, James), (Chris, Destiny), (Noah, Paul), (Bill...

...By close analysis of the extract, taking account of narrative methods, show how effective you think McCabe is in presenting the outsider Francie Brady’s alienation and separation from society. In ‘The Butcher Boy’ Patrick McCabe transforms, according to John O’Mahony, “the microcosm of the small town, a neglected and disparaged corner of Irish experience into an arena for burlesque humour and biting satire.” “McCabe is a true original,” says critic and novelist John Banville. “Like Roddy Doyle writing about life in working-class Dublin suburbs, McCabe has used the stuff the rest of us didn’t bother with and made a peculiar kind of rough poetry out of it. He catches that particular kind of bizarre, insane world of Irish country life in the 50’s and 60’s. People like O’Faolain and Frank O’Connor wrote about it in lyrical mode, McGahern wrote about it in tragic mode, but McCabe writes about it in a kind of anti- black comedy that is absolutely unique.” Such aspects of McCabe’s unique style are vividly captured within the given extract from the novel, where McCabe’s unique hybrid bog-gothic style is clearly evident. The theme of Francie Brady’s alienation and separation from society is a dominant concept that develops and intensifies throughout the novel. Alienation refers to the sense of being separated and isolated from others, of not belonging, and in the specified extract McCabe successfully develops the reader’s understanding of Francie as an outsider in a society neither...

...poetry represents something that is real, something that exists in the world. Whereas Plato believed that the poet was cut off from reality, Aristotle saw the poet’s act of imitation as directly connected to life itself, instead of an attempt to reach a larger ideal. In his analysis of the origins of poetry, Aristotle argues that imitation is natural to childhood, and children learn most of their first life lessons through the imitation of others. People are also naturally given to taking pleasure in imitation. Unity of Plot In his analysis of tragedy, Aristotle argues that the most important element is plot. Further, he insists on the necessity of unity in the plot. All the events portrayed must contribute to the plot. There must be no subplots or superfluous elements. Every element of the plot must work together to create a seamless whole. If any part were to be altered or withdrawn, this would leave the play disjointed and incomplete in some way. The plot must have a beginning, a middle, and an end, in which each event follows either in likelihood or necessity from the previous one. There must be a clear cause and effect relationship in the events depicted. The Structure of Tragedy In his analysis of the structure of tragedy, Aristotle uses four terms that are of particular...

...School Environment Analysis Essay Grand Canyon University: EDA-575 February 8, 2012 School Environment Analysis No school is a utopia. Each presents unique problems and challenges, and with that comes opportunities for change and successes. Many times it takes a giant collaborative effort to bring about change, and there are times where it seems that the challenges are insurmountable. I work in a public inner city high school in Syracuse, NY. There are issues within the school including a high drop-out rate, incidences of bullying, little parent involvement, lack of technology, and old school materials. This high school is in a high poverty area, and the surrounding community is not very active or involved with the school. All of these factors combined with many newer teachers in the school and some new members of the administration lead to a school requiring assistance in many areas. In this essay, I will explain many of the environmental and contextual factors and describe some potential solutions to address these factors. One environmental factor influencing my school is the high rate of poverty in the surrounding area of the school. Students are often unprepared for school with proper materials. Education is not been a major priority for many students since it was not very important to their parents or guardians. If students have a little extra money, they will quickly spend it on snacks on their way to school instead of making sure they are prepared...

...Jessica Hamilton English 307 1/11/12 Response Essay “ Roland Barthes' “The Death of the Author” In his essay, “ The Death of the Author”, Roland Barthes argues against the classic criticism. He argues that classic criticism imposes limits upon the text itself by focusing on the author rather than the text. He argues that writing is the “ destruction of every voice, of every point of origin.” (Barthes 185) Barthes argues that there is no such thing as an author. He believes that there is only a scriptor whose ideas are not entirely original. Barthes also argues that because the author has numerous influences, we as readers and critics can never know the true influences. Barthes argues that it is necessary to analysis the linguistics of the text because it is not a voice that speaks but the language. He goes further to point out that it is only in the reader that the text has any meaning and because of this the presence of the author is minimized because the text becomes open to numerous interpretations that the author may not have originally intended. Barthes also implies that the death of the author makes the reader more significant because they become the creative force of the text rather than the author. Barthes also argues that the moment “ the author enters into his own death, writing begins.” (Barthes 185) Within “ The Death of the Author”, Barthes issues the question of “who is speaking”. (Barthes 185) He highlights his theory with his example of Sarrasine by...

...ESSAY WRITING NOTES GENERAL COMMENTS • The following notes are issues that we will discuss in the study skills session on ‘essay writing’. I hope that they will aid you in your essay writing. • It is often useful to view the Unit in its entirety before you chose to select a topic to write your essay on. Remind yourself of the 10 lectures and how they relate to one another. The Unit topics inter-relate and it is important that you demonstrate your ability to synthesise ideas and topics in your answers. • Below are some ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ for essay writing success. DO • Remember to consult the marking scale in the Handbook. This will give you an indication of what is required at different levels. • Make sure you read the precise wording of the Q and tailor the response accordingly. • Do not write the answer with the unit convener in mind.

Your responses will potentially need to make sense to all three. • Reference your material using the Harvard system. Check your course handbook for details. Be consistent in your referencing. This is extremely important. • Your referenced material must be relevant to the course. Find your own sources by all means but stay within the topic area. • Be careful about using internet sources.

This report will explain what your team did in the week (time period covered). You are encouraged to NOT divide the work among your team members. Rather each team member should address each aspect of the assignment independently. Only in this way will each of you be contributing equally and only in this way will the final submission reflect the extreme best of your collaborative efforts.

...Mitty-like fantasies. If only my personal statement could consist of my name followed by such terms as Olympic athlete, master chef, boy genius, universal best friend, and Prince Charming to every hopeful woman. These claims would be, at worst, outright lies, or at best, gross hyperbole. My dreams, however, take their place alongside my memories, experiences, and genes in the palette that constitutes who I am. Who am I? I am a product of my reality and my imagination. I am innately depraved, yet I am made perfect. I plan my day with the knowledge that “Everything is meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 1:2), but I must “make the most of every opportunity” (Colossians 4:5). I search for simple answers, but find only complex questions. Once, on my way to a wrestling tourname whether living in an abode which rotated near the speed of light would result in my being younger (utilizing the Theory of Relativity) and stronger (utilizing the properties of adaptation along with the definition of centripetal and gravitational force) that I failed to realize that I had left my wrestling shoes in my locker. My mother says that my decision to wrestle is indicative of the fact I don’t think. Through working in a nursing home, the most important lesson I’ve learned is that I have many lessons yet to learn. Thus the most valuable knowledge I possess reminds me how little knowledge I have. Often times people make the mistake of assuming that mutually exclusive qualities bear no relationship to one...

...I had them read a page and then do their role and I felt it was too disjointed and took longer than necessary. I think having taking this course I would try to utilize more feedback from students on strategies they have found beneficial in their learning. I know based on informal observations, partner reading, think aloud and RAFT writing tasks have seem more appealing to the students. Having the students more “vested” in the activities, certainly should help. I also feel that for this unit previewing concepts prior to starting the novel and discussing important concepts such as the Depression, Reconstruction period, slavery, sharecropping makes the content in the historical novel much more understandable to the...

...Clara Schmetter Dr. Edwards MWF (12:00-12:50) ENGL 102 2015 Toyota Camry Ad Analysis The advertisement, for the 2015 Toyota Camry I selected presents a photo of an pristine, eye-catching, bright red Toyota Camry in front of what looks like a disjointed bridge in the middle of a remote canyon. In the background, positioned before the gap in the bridge are two indistinguishable, suited male figures standing in front of a black SUV. One of the figures appears to have his arms up in frustration. In the foreground, however, stands a woman calmly resting against the car next to a panting dog. To the left of the car is a is an open briefcase which has exposed documents that are then strategically scattered in order to draw the reader's eye to the Toyota logo and their iconic slogan, "let's go places." In the top left-hand corner of the image are a series of clip sentences reading: "Started my Camry. Rescued a dog. Searched for the owners. Uncovered a plot. Escaped with the evidence. Took a leap of faith. Left them all behind. Kept the dog." Directly under in large capitalized, and partially bold type-setted letters, it reads: "The bold 2015 Camry," followed by the subtext; "one bold choice leads to another." The main message of this advertisement is to act boldly by buying Toyota's new innovative Camry. The target audience for this advertisement is young to middle-aged drivers. The desire or compulsion to live audaciously is something those in their twenties and thirties...

...addition, it supported multi-platform (Cory Bohon.2011). Since MobileMe was a replacement for the .Mac service and most of the services are similar, the MobileMe can fit into the category of improvement or revisions of existing products. As just look at the services that MobileMe provided, it seems like another great step for Apple. However, MobileMe was one of the worst products of the Apple Computer Inc. First, from the marketing point of view, product is the heart of the marketing mix, is the starting point (Lamb. Et al.2010). A product is something that performs, reliable and durable, so it meets the minimal expectations and earns customer trust (Ivan Knowles, 2012). As a new product, MobileMe did not meet the standard and people were disjointed by the service. “Unfortunately, after a week of intense testing of the service, I can’t recommend it, at least not in its current state. It’s a great idea, but, as of now, MobileMe has too many flaws to keep its promises. “(Mossberg. 2008). What happen was that, when the service was so unstable that it kept running into problems and outages. During the first 14 days since the service launched, the Company had to post near-daily outage updates (Marsal. 2008). As email has already become one of the...
