...his mother does not want him to do. He breaks the rules, makes a lot of messes, and is always being yelled at. Simms Taback’s book, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is about an old lady who eats a fly and then eats an animal to eat the fly and so on. They have both won the Caldecott Honor award and are similar in a few ways. David and the old lady both do things that lead to negative results. David disobeys his mother, therefore he is always getting yelled at. The old lady keeps swallowing animal to eat the previous one that eventually leads to her death. No, David! has few words, but with the illustrations, it is easy to follow the story line. There are about three to four words for every two pages. The words are black and look like they were written with a pen. They are sharp lines that are thicker if the mom is yelling at David. Sometimes the words are in all capital letters to show that the mom is angry and trying to control him. The similarity between each page is that there are exclamation points at the end of each phrase. The words are coming from the mom even though she is not in the pictures. There do not need to be more words because the illustrations show everything that David does wrong. This book seems like it is for a younger age group because it is an easy read. There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is a repetitive book. She swallowed a fly and thinks she might die. Then she swallows a spider to eat the fly. The story goes...

...shopping while black” is about racial profiling how I see it however I am shocked how many hesitated to help. Less than twenty person helped out of a hundred that were there. A woman was harshly criticize over her race and the way she was dressed, since she was a woman of color they automatically thought she will steal. The actors were playing their role to criticize the woman however some shoppers said some rude comments towards her like is she “playing the black card” or “ would she have defend me”. I was speechless by some of the shopper’s action. Some just walked around or continue shopping like if there was not a big social issue going on not saying or doing a thing. I believe this is why people feel entitled to act a certain way and speak to someone because no one corrects them or educate them. It is highly wrong to judge someone based on their skin color and appearances. That dark skin colored person who is dressed casually who you think might steal from you, can actually have enough to buy your entire store. Someone can be dressed down and own a Visa black credit card or be a CEO of a company. It is judgment and wrong to single out a person of color based of a color. I am happy to see strong women united and help this woman out and encourage other to walk out the store. I was not shocked when I saw someone from her own race did not hesitate to defend her. The reason he was passionate because he was with his family who happen to be from the same race. That lady being accused...

...This is demonstrated in the court of law, when they restrain woman their right to participate in legal affairs, as a citizens. Atticus mentions this "For one thing, Miss Maudie can't serve on a jury because she's a woman-"(296). The gender inequality in Maycomb is clearly evident when a woman isn't able to voice her opinions in a court of justice. Woman likewise, blindly follow the set standards given to them by society. Aunt Alexandra wishes for Scout to have the manner and apparel that a lady presumably has. Scout explains Aunt Alexandra intentions for her, "Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that required pants.

...vary greatly in their abilities, they vary in their desires to reach their potentials.” (John Maxell). Over the many years, the clothing that an individual wears has continued to tell a vast amount about their character. From an individual that wears loose trousers, to an individual that wears tight blouses, the attire a person wears ultimately shapes their identity, impacts the perceptions of others that may have about them, and the individual’s professional goals in a business (Bruce). However, the one variable that still remains true and sound is, when in a business world one must dress for success. Therefore, it is highly important to dress for success for interviews, searching for a job, and even on the job sites as our attire sends great messages to the perspective viewers. As the old saying goes, “It is much better to be overdressed than to be underdressed (or undressed).” Appropriate Dress Wears for an Interview According to Kim Zoller at Image Dynamics, “55% of another person’s perception of you is based on how you look” (Dressing for Success). Dressing for success during an interview sometimes determines whether an individual will or will not get the job. The interview is the process where the interviewer puts a picture to the resume that was presented. Therefore if the resume sounds professional, the individual is expected to look the same vice versa; in other words “play the game, look the part.”(Bruce) Dressing for success consists of wearing the appropriate clothing...

...In life there are people who test and push others and then there are those who can help others. In To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee shows this. Prejudice in this novel is described as the "simple hell people give other people without even thinking." The novel powerfully portrays examples of reachable and social prejudice through the experiences of the characters: Tom Robinson, Scout, and Boo Radley. In this novel, Lee puts one man on this road of a simple hell. A very poor family that doesn't have much respect gave hell to an honest, hard working black man. The author gives many examples in the book of simple hell. There is a court trial for rape against this poor black man. What really happened was, this "rapped" girl said " I've never been kissed by a grown man because what my papa do don't count, so kiss me back." On page 194. Mayella, this supposedly rapped girl was beaten by her father and they blamed it on Tom who was just helping Mayella. Another simple hell given to...

...Tips To be a Lady The attributes of a great lady may still be found in the rule of the four S’s: Sincerity, Simplicity, Sympathy, and Serenity.” 1. Before you can convince people you’re attractive, you have to believe it yourself. 2. A lady never kisses and tells. 3. Always say “please” and “thank you“. Civility never goes out of style. 4. Only wear heels if you know how to walk in them. 5. Be yourself. 6. Enjoy the fact that you are a woman and men will enjoy it, too. 7. Never show too much leg or too much cleavage at the same time. 8. Don’t act stupid when you’re not. 9. Never, ever make a sex tape. 10. Let people know that you think they’re wonderful. 11. Avoid false compliments. 12. Remember birthdays and send thank you notes. 13. Underwear is not a misnomer. Exposed thongs are not glamorous. 14. Be nice to your server; not because it’s nice, but because we’re human beings. 15. When in doubt, dress up. 16. Carry yourself with confidence. It’s sexier than any low-cut dress. 17. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it and apologise. 18. Drink responsibly. There’s nothing adorable in being sick or comatose. 19. Be on time. Nobody likes waiting or being interrupted. 20. Tuck in your chair when you get up to leave. 21. It’s not always what you say. It’s also how you say it. 22. Beauty is not just visual; it employs all of the senses. 23.

They work together to break the curse placed on Howl, Calcifer, and Sophie. They spend most of their time in Howl's castle.

...and finally compare the stereotypes in both. There are many stereotypes and these 2 stories contain many that are alike. One big theme in To Kill a Mockingbird is stereotypes. First of all there is a stereotype that scout should wear a dress and act more like a girl because she is a tomboy. Aunt Alexandra says this. “Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches”(81). This shows that Aunt Alexandra wants Scout to be more like a lady. Secondly there’s Tom Robinson who is black and wrongly accused. Tom was accused of raping Mayella Ewell and in the end the jury voted him guilty even though Atticus explains the evidence is in Tom’s favor “To begin with, this case should have never come to trial”(203). This quote shows that Atticus’s evidence is perfectly clear and Tom isn’t guilty but in the end because Tom is black the jury assumes he is bad and votes him guilty. Finally black people don’t have the same rights as white people. For example Calpurnia brings Scout and Jem to church and a lady gets mad and asked Calpurnia why she brought white kids to the black church day. “I wants to know why you bringin’ white chillum to nigger church”(119).Lula says this and it shows black people don’t have the same church time as white people and they treat each other as if the other wasn’t human. These are some examples of stereotypes in To Kill a Mockingbird. There is also a lot of Stereotypes in The Merchant of Venice....

...ethnic community has a native language that it teaches its offspring. Depending on where one was born, and the first language learnt, people can exhibit different accents. For instance, someone born and brought up in the American neighborhood will speak in the same accent as the Americans, irrespective of their ethnic background (Sarte, 2008). However, if the person had been brought up in an African setting, his/her accent would have been different. These differences are especially evident when one learns a second language. This logic explains why Black Americans may not speak in the same accent as their fellow blacks from Africa. Secondly, culture can influence one’s actions and utterances. Different ethnic communities have certain cultures associated with them. For each of these, there is an unwritten rule that determines how different activities should be carried out. For instance, in the Asian countries, women are expected to dress in concealing attire...

...Appearance The way we dress, walk, and talk says a lot about us. Physical appearance has to do with how a person grooms himself or herself. This narrows down the clothing and accessories one wears. Although appearance should not be how we judge a person, most of us get that habit from our family. Unfortunately, the reality is that people judge others by outer appearance. As Brent Staples describes in his story, “Youngish black man-a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket-seemed menacingly close.” (Staples 241) The woman walking by him was terrified of him. She was judging him by his appearance; by what he was wearing. Among other things, which form an individual’s appearance besides clothing is how one grooms. We have the tendency of assuming a person is a certain way because of their appearance. In comparison, how a person shaves, does their hair gives them a certain personality. Also the way they talk, move, and smile, says a lot about a person. I have worked in the banking industry for five years and have learned a few things about people.

...The dress was first introduced to social topic via blog post on a blogsite known as the BuzzFeed on February 26, 2015 (Salvation). The debate of the actual color of the dress went viral on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. The topic was so viral that it received interviews with scientists for the explanation for the differences in perception. While some people saw black and blue and others saw white and gold, the Salvation Army used the dress to focus on a more important issue: domestic violence. In the South Africa Salvation Army campaign, a young Caucasian woman lies on her right side in a white and gold dress. The young lady has dark blue bruises on her legs, a cut on her upper lip, and a black eye. The picture is entitled, “Why is it so hard to see black and blue?” It is statistically proven that a woman is beaten every nine seconds and 39 million women will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes (Vagianos). It was logically from a business point to use a very well-known trending topic to show awareness for domestic violence. The Salvation Army also used pathos to bring emotional feeling towards their...
