...character is the grandmother’s character is displayed by her reactions and conversations with various characters throughout the story. Through her conversation with Bailey, her son, John Wesley and June Star, her grandchildren, and the Misfit killer. These conversations state the fact that she is from a traditional background and her attitude alternates to fit the surroundings that she is in. The grandmother loses her capacity to comprehend what state of mind that she wants to be in. Throughout the entire story the author utilizes a strong sense of foreshadowing for the people and for the events that occur. O’Connor uses this technique three times in the story, describing the grandmother’s dress, the family’s death, and the grandmother’s conversation with the Misfit Killer. The story starts out with the grandmother being uncomfortable about the family’s upcoming trip to Florida from Georgia. She tries to force Bailey to rethink the entire trip by telling him about what she has read in the newspaper. “Here this fellow that calls himself the Misfit is aloose from the Federal Pen…and read what it says he did with these people…I wouldn’t take my children in any direction with a criminal like that aloose in it” (O’Connor, 2008). Her pleading for the cancellation did not go well and the family prepared to leave the next day. She dressed in “a navy blue dress with a small white dot in the print. Her collars and cuffs were white organdy trimmed with lace and at her neckline she had pinned...

...Victoria Braden Jasmine Sullivan AAAS 2000 23 April 14 1.) In chapter 1, Black women slaves were defined as either a “jezebel” or “mammy”. In detail define the characteristics of a “jezebel” and “mammy”. Why were black women defined in these two extreme ways? By contrast, how were Southern white women characterized? * One of the most standout images of black women in white slavery America was of a woman who ran entirely off of her sex drive, a Jezebel. A jezebel was considered to be the complete opposite of a proper white woman. She was thought to have little to none religious affiliation. A jezebel took no instances to cover her body, and showed no signs of prudery. The idea that black women were over-sexualized first gained credence when Englishmen went to Africa to buy slaves. Not being accustomed to the traditional wear, Europeans mistook semi-nudity for lewdness. They also misinterpreted African cultural tradition of polygamy and claimed to be the Africans' uncontrolled lust, tribal dances were considered to be an orgy. The travel accounts of Europeans spurred inaccurate analysis of black women livelihood. Perhaps it was the warm climate of Africa that prompted William Bosman to describe the women he saw on the coast of Guinea as "fiery" and "warm" and "so much hotter than the men."' William Smith must have fallen under the same influence, since he wrote of "hot constitution'd Ladies" who "are continually contriving stratagems how to gain a lover."' The conditions...

Honorable Style in Dishonorable Times: American Gangsters of the 1920s and 1930s Laura Beshears. The Journal of American Culture. Malden: Sep 2010. Vol. 33, Iss. 3; pg. 197, 10 pgs Abstract (Summary) Prohibition, which came into effect in July of 1920 with the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment, also illustrated the progressives' idealism, as many believed that the elimination of alcohol, because it allegedly created "poverty, marital distress, and negligence," would cleanse society (Mordden 141). [...] the birth of the radio and the movies as well as the development of flight induced excitement and fostered a vision of a society engaged in perpetual technological advancement (Mordden 47). [...] Horatio Alger, Jr. and his late nineteenth-century books- portraits of men who, born underprivileged, rose to wealth and success through hard work, honesty, self-confidence, commitment, and a bit of luck (Weiss 53-54) - characterized the progressive spirit, as it encouraged people to work hard for a better future and for the fulfillment of the American dream.

...the market. Economical environment: The economical environment that circles around Lululemon Athletica shows a strong revenue growth. In September 2012 Lululemon posted a 33% increase in revenue to $282.6-million (U.S.) and an increase of 15% in same-store sales (refer to figure 2). Along with that we can observe the company’s stable financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, impressive record of earnings per share growth, net income growth and good cash flow from operations. Lululemon was pretty successful among many investors as it consistently raised quarterly profits and revenues in a struggling fitness retail industry (see figure 3).

...[pic] SWOT Analysis of Hollister Co. By: Jessica Gray, Mehrosh Hasher, Lydia Russo, Rachael Ware, and Desiree Urban October 4, 2009 AA 381 Fashion Buying Introduction: Hollister Co. was launched by Abercrombie & Fitch Company CEO Michael Jeffries in July 2000, and is a lifestyle brand that markets apparel and fragrances reminiscent of the southern California way of life (Palmer, 2009). Hollister Co., whose clothing is known for their signature seagull logo embroideries, has become widely recognizable due to its success in creating a strong brand image (Palmer, 2009). Hollister Co.’s retail stores, featuring only its own private label merchandise, are usually located in malls and generate significant traffic due to its unique atmosphere complete with ultra-dimmed lights and blaring popular music (Palmer, 2009). The brand’s target market consists of both males and females between 14-24 years of age (Palmer, 2009). Hollister Co. is known for the model-like staff it employs, and the sensual advertisements and store décor that accompany them (Palmer, 2009). Their clothing reflects this ideal, running in notoriously small sizes and only consisting of a very limited collection of casual beach-ready graphic t-shirts, jeans, thermals, swimwear, leggings, shorts, and sweatshirts (Palmer, 2009). Though Hollister Co. has recently been suffering large net losses, it has ranked first place for the Teen’s Top Clothing Brand for four consecutive seasons since 2007, and...
