...Do you remember going to birthday parties when you were a kid? How excited you were and the amount of fun you would have? This little girl, who went to have fun with her friends, founds out that social class truly does affect how people will act to her. In the story “The Stolen Party,” Liliana Heker uses foreshadowing, communion tropes, and irony to share the theme of social class is hard to overcome. In the beginning of the story, Rosura’s mother warns her about the difference between them and rich people. As stated “That one’s not your friend. You know what you are to them? The maid’s daughter, that’s what.” (118) This is foreshadowing to the theme that social class is hard to overcome, and also hints how the party is going to go for Rosura. Once she did get to the party she encounters a little girl. She says “you are not a friend of Luciana because I’m her cousin and I know all her friends. And I don’t know you” (119) This leads back to the theme as well because the little girl with a bow is rich, and doesn’t know Rosura. She doesn’t understand why a girl she’s never seen before would be there. This hints towards the end of the story....

...In “The Stolen Party,” author Liliana Heker uses third person limited point of view to show understanding to the reader and the writer. It can help you understand the emotion and movement in your head coming from the characters. In my opinion, I think that third person limited was an excellent idea for this story. One reason for using third person limited point of view is to show the reader and the writer more understanding. The author Liliana Heker wanted to show readers and herself some emotion in the story. By using this method, you can get readers to be astonished or shocked in certain places of the story. “Senora Ines didn’t look in the pink bag. Nor did she look in the blue bag. Instead she rummaged her purse. In her hand appeared two bills. ‘You really and truly earned this,’ she said handing them over. ‘Thank you for all your help, my pet. Rosaura felt her arms stiffen, stick close to her body, and then she noticed...

...different turn of events from the short story The Stolen Party. Hecker focuses deeply on metaphors, dialogue, and symbolism to show the false hope through the friendship Rosaura deeply needed, but could not grasp onto. ‘It’s a rich people’s party,’ was what Rosaura’s mother told her the night before the party. It was what she tried to warn her daughter, saying she was nothing but the ‘maid’s daughter’ in the eyes of a friend, Luciana. But Rosaura grasped onto that false sense of hope, going to the party the next day. Throughout the story,...

...No matter how hard we try we can not rid the world of discrimination. In the article “For dark-skinned mexicans, taint of discrimination lingers” by Tim Johnson, the author depicts how even mexicans can discriminate their own people. Their are different forms of discrimination like judging people on their social class. This type can be found in the story “The Stolen Party” by Lillian Hecker. In “A Stolen Party” , Hecker uses characters and dialogue to convey a theme that things aren't always what they seem. Lillian Hecker uses characters and their social classes to show discrimination between people.

...become prisoners of those lies. They cannot face the truth of human equality because it reveals the horror of the injustices they commit” (Alveda King). Discrimination has been an important and perpetual topic of discussion due to its effects. People are often discriminated because of their color, culture, or appearance. There are no positive effects from spreading discrimination. We can achieve equality much faster if we learn to accept others instead of being intolerant. The possibility of racism, limiting cultures, and influencing future generations are reasons why people should accept others. Racism is something that causes disunity and can also lower someone’s self esteem by making them feel like an outcast. In the short story “The Stolen Party” Liliana Hecker demonstrates racism and...

...bound by this clause. Secondly, this term is a condition because the term goes to the essence or heart of the contract. Furthermore, this term can also pass the test of essentiality as the innocent party would not have entered into the contract unless assured of a strict and literal performance of the promise. From the fact, it was appeared that OZCO would not sign the contract unless AES promises that the lights will flash and siren to be activated at the warehouse and will also cause a warning message to be sent to AES’s central monitoring facility if the electricity supply or telephone lines be interrupted for any reason. Another few reasons also support the view of recognizing the clause 7A as a condition. In the contract, the way clause 7A expressed is similar as a promise. Moreover, the likely consequences of breaching this term is to be stolen again which will not fit the purpose of installing the electronic surveillance and the innocent party will be deprived from the benefit of signing the contract which is protecting of stolen. Furthermore, the term is so importance that the contract would not be signed without this term. Finally, it is not enough to be given damage only because the warehouse has been stolen in a short time, it implied that the warehouse will be stolen several times if the contract will not be discharge. In conclusion, the clause 7A is a condition of the contract and AES breached the term. Therefore, OZCO Ltd has entitled to terminate the contract...

...real property. Our goal as a Christian law firm is to provide insightful and useful information pertaining to the legal matter, while continually striving to seek the will of God for the benefit of His glory. The first issue we will analyze deals with our client’s joint tenancy and ownership of the mountain property. Our client has indicated that 31 years ago he entered into a joint tenancy co-ownership with three friends whom are now deceased. To review, a co-ownership gives equal ownership to multiple parties, allowing all parties equal rights to occupy the property (Kubasek, 2012). A joint tenancy agreement is a form of co-ownership giving equal rights to all parties involved in the agreement (Kubasek, 2012). Under a joint-tenancy, owners are permitted to sell their shares without notifying the other parties, creditors can are permitted to attach owner’s interest to the property, and when an owner dies their interest will be equally redistributed to the remaining parties in the joint tenancy (Feinman, 2000). In the mountain property dispute, the joint tenancy resolution revolves around the fact that the client’s friend, Andy, did not sell his property interest to his son, Opie. Under a joint tenancy, Opie cannot inherit the property interest regardless of what is written in Andy’s will. Only in a tenancy in common would this be permissible. Due to the fact that Andy did not sell Opie the property interest, our client retains full ownership of the mountain property in relation...

...using it in ways we are not aware of. This kind of tracking is what caused a problem of using data without the permission of the users. The bad of online tracking is that it filters everything you do online, there is lack of control and data can be stolen (thesis). The first reason online tracking is bad is that the data, that companies receives from a user’s online behavioural, has the potential to get stuck in a sort of filter bubble. Hereby other information becomes unreachable to that same user and similar information are shown repeatedly, putting the user in a sort of filter bubble. Also for advertisers, this reason is a disadvantage, as they are missing users who would be interesting in their product or service. Second, many website do whatever they want with user’s information. Sites such as Amazon, Facebook and Google, collects these kind of data and often allow third-party advertising sites to do almost whatever they want with it. This is lack of control and the users are unable to refrain out of it, as they are being followed every single second or click online. Third, data can end up in the wrong hands. The danger exist that an advertising firm can be hacked and that sensitive, confidential information can be stolen. Last few years hacking incidents in general has increased and this topic became more a concern. For example, the largest breaches ever happened, was at The PlayStation Network (Sony), which was...

...collection of the deceased fashion designer Yves St Laurent, fuelling great wrath of Chinese people. A NGO called APACE, together with a newly-established group of Chinese lawyers, applied to the “Tribunal de Grande Instance” (a court in Paris) for the “property preservation” of the two relics in order to sabotage the auction, yet the litigation was rejected since the judge held that the complainant doesn’t have the direct claim right. [1] Besides, Chinese government and individual collectors like Cai Mingchao also made their move against this auction, but China still scarcely makes any material progress in the restitution of the looted legacies throughout. [2] Such case reveals great challenges for countries like China to get back missing or stolen artefacts due to multi-faceted legal problems, and their harvests are often not in proportion with efforts paid. On the other hand, propelled by a huge profit, illegal antique trade has been showing a rampant trend in recent years. Its annual turnover is the second highest in all illegal dealings, merely lower than drug trade. [3] Given the lax law system on the protection of cultural relics and the burgeoning market demand, explicit need is suggested to curb the current situation. Based on the above case and focusing on its universality, this article firstly aims to shed a light on the difficulties in recovering relics. More importantly, in the later part, possible pathways to settle the issue will be discussed, with particular attention...

Attackers have the knowledge and resources to execute schemes over a period of time with spear-phish. They targeted Target during the holidays because it would be less noticeable. Targets system was not up to date and the attackers found them to be an easy target. Now Target has upgraded their system to chip-and PIN enabled cards. 10-9. Explain how a third-party contractor could weaken an organization’s overall security. They do not have the same security as the main business. Once attackers gain access they can activate a virus on the third-party and that gives them the ability to do as they wish. 10-10. Describe how data was stolen...

...infractions give rise to criminal consequences. Criminal law is typically enforced by the government. Civil law, or branch of law, deals with disputes between organizations and/or individuals, in which compensation may be given to the victim. Civil courts provide a confabulation for deciding disputes involving torts (such as libel, accidents and negligence), contract disputes, property disputes, the probate of wills, trusts, commercial law, administrative law, and other private matters that involve private parties and organizations. An action by an individual against the attorney general is a civil matter, but if the state is represented by the attorney general or other agent from the state and takes action against an individual, this is no longer civil law but instead this is now public law. The objective of civil law differs from other law. Civil law attempts to right a wrong, settle a dispute, or honor an agreement. The victim is being compensated by the at-fault party, which is a legal alternative to, or civilized form of, revenge. There is often a pie of division and is allocated by the process of civil law, probably by invoking the doctrines of equity, in cases of an equity matter. Criminal lawsuits differ from civil lawsuits in that the criminal prosecutions are intended to convict and...
