...Zamani 1 Damien Zamani Professor Newman English 102 October 9th, 2012 Hills Like White Elephants Research Paper Despite the multiple critques of "Hills like White Elephants" I will briefly touch on a few. Several reviews elude the imagery and symbolism of the tale. Instead of list each critique in some haphazard bullet list we'll review the three points that were repeated and most obvious. The while elephant is the most prolific revolving theme of the story. Jig tells her boyfriend the hills look like white elepants. He responds that he's never seen one, to which she retorts "Of course you haven't". The hills are the imagery of the story. They are not actual hills but rather a metaphor for a choice of carrying a pregnancy to full term. White elephants are generally referred to as items whose maintenance costs exceeds their usefulness. In the story, Hemmingway is being subtle making an analogy of the hills being a child. For Jig, the costs exceeds the usefulness. To say children are exspensive is a Zamani 2 gross understatement. The hills represent an achievable undesirable journey. Jig comtemplates whether she's willing to make such a trip. This is eluded several times in the story. Her boyfriends perspective is that the hill is blocking his life with Jig. While jig indulges in the thought of the top of the hill; a child;family;life. The station is a allegory for change. The couple has a decision...

...Most people knew about the odd house on Violet Hill. The house itself wasn’t very odd though. It was the hill. This hill was rather peculiar. Who would ever think something could be so violet? Violet hill is covered in purple flowers, painting the whole hill violet. The violets were the only thing out of place, until one day, the whole United Kingdom government computer system crashed. All traces of hacking led back to the house on Violet Hill. The strange thing though, was that no one has lived there for years. Everyone was too scared to.

...INSTRUCTIONS Forest Hill Paper Company Assigned: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Due: Dr. O’Connor/Writing Lab by Friday, March 8 The Forest Hill Paper case represents an exercise in activity based costing to help you understand in greater depth how activity based costing is performed within organizations. The case suggests that developing the product cost is not the end point for the accountant – the proper evaluation and analysis of the “calculated” information is integral in making recommendations contributing to organization success. Assume that your group is a consulting group that has been hired by Forest Hill’s management team. Your group has listened to the discussions contained in the case and obtained the information contained in the exhibits. Your recommendations should be contained in a business memorandum addressed to Forest Hill’s management team. The memo should be no longer than three single spaced typed pages, excluding any relevant exhibits you may have prepared and referenced in the text of your memo. The exhibits may be attached at the end of your memo. The memo should, at a minimum, respond to the questions contained at the end of the case. This assignment will be graded in part on the “correctness” of the calculations and quantitative analysis. However, “getting the numbers right” is only the first step. A significant portion of the points will be earned by the appropriateness of your recommendations, your ability to identify...

...Bailey Gerard-Custodio Ms. Dane ENGL 2593 November 26,2013 Essay 2: Patricia Hill Collin’s Thoughts on Shadow Tag Patricia Hill Collin’s main argument in, The Sexual Politics of Black Womanhood, is that race controls the type of objectification a woman will face. Meaning, race controls the way society perceives a woman. In the novel, Shadow Tag, Louise Erdrich tells a chilly story of a marriage controlled by possession. A woman is shown objectification through her cultural origin and background. Throughout the novel, Gil wished to possess Irene. His possession over Irene’s body was obtained through his depictions of her in his artwork. The idea that an object is something you can obtain and possess would relate the novel by Louise Erdrich to the argument of Patricia Hill Collins. Gil’s obsession over his wife’s body also created a form of domination that utilized a form of oppression. Patricia Hill Collins writes, “Sexuality becomes a domain of restriction and repression when this energy is tied to the larger system of race, class, and gender oppression.” Gil controlled Irene’s image and sexuality through a form oppression that accompanied her race, class, and gender because he found that it exemplified his talent as an artist. “He painted Indians when he painted his wife because he couldn’t help it—the ferocity between them, the need. Her blood ancestors came out in Gil’s painting as he worked.” Gil painted Irene in the way he wanted people to perceive her. He used her ...

...Analyse how the impacts of the Notting Hill Carnival could be measured. What methods could have been used to measure the impacts of similar events and what are the issues surrounding those methods? In 2003, a London Development Agency (LDA 2003) report into the Notting Hill Carnival found that ‘it brought in an estimated income of £93 million into London in 2002, supporting in the region of 3000 full time equivalent jobs. The study and review of other aspects of the carnival lead to increased attention from the Mayor of London and other stakeholders (1) which lead to the Notting Hill Carnival ‘Strategic Review’ in 2004. The report states that ‘the true value of the Notting Hill Carnival, in social, economic and cultural terms, has received little recognition in the past’. (2) But how can the Notting Hill Carnival be more accurately measured? Economic: The review highlights a number of economic impacts of the Carnival, with various statistics available. However, these stats focus heavily on the immediate economic impact, and do consider the costs for the negative impact of the event; policing, traffic, pollution. As highlighted by Getz 2012, the economic impacts should include a ‘comprehensive evaluation of the costs and benefits of the event’. (3) Environmental: Environment impacts have been measured in the past through the amount of waste generated. (4) Future environmental impact studies could include the measurement and tracking of the reduction of the carbon...

...political power to keep tradition of loyalty within family. I will elaborate on the conflict and show how Solon tried to change that. The third part of the paper will analyze the political constitution that was created to make a balance of power. For my sources I will use the life of Solon in The Rise and Fall of Athens: Nine Greek Lives by Plutarch, and a class document analyzing the Athenian political constitution. I Athens’s had 3 main landowners, which were consist of the Hill Peasants, the Plains, and the Shore. The shore was not used much for farming. However, the others were. The Hill peasants had land filled with many small poor farms that didn’t produce much crops and had poor quality. The reason they were considered poor quality was because the hills were dry, which was not good for farming. Another reason was the slope of the hill allowed for rundown of water to bypass the top of the hill and immediately go down to the plains where the other farms were. The plains received the rundown from the hills and all proper nutrients. Therefore, this portion contained high quality land. The farms were large and provided a surplus of crops each harvest. Athens population consists of 98% peasants and 2% Aristocrat. Aristocrats are those who are educated, big landowners, politicians, priests, and warriors. They receive their wealth through inheritance, which I will get into detail further on. There were two types of peasants in...
