...Analysis of “Materialistic Perception” in F. Scot Fitzgerald Using Marxist Literary Criticism Chapter I 1.1 Introduction The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream. 1.2 State of Problem The Great Gatsby provides a critical social history of America during the Roaring Twenties within its narrative. That era, known for unprecedented economic prosperity, the evolution of jazz music, flapper culture, and bootlegging and other economy struggle that was the result of the materialism and capitalism damaging on social behavior, led to the widespread social distress. 1.3 Theoretical Framework Using literary criticism to interpret what is the ideal life of America in 19th century and what is the dream of American people after World War I. as a Marxist interpretation of the novel makes especially clear, reveals its dark underbelly instead. Through its unflattering characterization of those at the top of the...

...industry. As a midlevel sales manager, part of my jobs and responsibilities are to select new members for my sales team and create a development plan to help my team succeed with the company’s new strategy. In other to accomplish these objectives, certain things have to be in their right places. For example, a job analysis has to be conducted, an outline of a workforce planning system has to instituted, and new competent team members have to be selected. A job analysis is a description of work to be done, the skills needed, and the training and experience required for various jobs (Cascio, p. 157). A job description can be referred to as an overall written summary of task requirements, while overall written summary of worker requirements is called job specification. The result of the process of job analysis is a job description and a job specification (Cascio, p.158). In order to effectively conduct a job analysis, I need to identify the analysis method (s) that is appropriate, so as to achieve and attain the Interclean’s short and long term goals. These analysis methods are: Job Performance, Observation, Interviews, Critical Incidents, and Structured Questionnaires. Sound HR management practice dictates that thorough job analysis always is done, for they provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral requirements of jobs. This in turn, creates a solid basis on which to make job-related employment decisions (Cascio, p.159). Since InterClean provides sanitary products and services...

...of Saving International Feet TOMS Shoes Bergan Crane John Dabbs Reynaldo Nunez Group 3 February 24, 2011 MGT 3371 INTRODUCTION TOMS Shoes It is often assumed, after the past decade of scandalous CEOs and selfish executives, that the perspective of today’s “businessman” is one who strives to cultivate a small empire of affluence and happiness, private jets and vacation homes. The world is shown each and every day how the malicious business practices of one person can easily translate to the disintegration of the whole corporation. However, in rare instances, a businessman like Blake Mycoskie, the creator of TOMS Shoes, arrives on the scene and what he shows the world is that big business, and a big heart, can go hand in hand. TOMS Shoes was created in January of 2006 by Blake Mycoskie after an inspirational trip to Argentina gave Mycoskie an idea that was the foundation for both a business, and a charitable cause. That idea is what is now more commonly associated as TOMS motto, “One for One” (http://www.toms.com/our-movement). The TOMS concept is for every pair of shoes purchased from their company, one pair is provided to less fortunate children in locations around the globe. TOMS, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, has tested and excelled at the dual mission business model of being a for-profit company which is centered on giving. Creator and “Chief Shoe Giver”, Blake Mycoskie says of the TOMS company, “Giving is what fuels...

...Daisy just got tired of dealing with Tom's affair so she didn't think about what she was doing . That was the last thing that stood out about Daisy's character besides the fact that she ended up leaving with her Husband to start over . My character analysis about Daisy makes me think about who she really was and the kind of women she is . She has good things and bad things about her character in the book . The biggest thing about her is that she loves money and that she is considered a fool to her husband but that’s the way she likes it . The only thing i never really understood is why she is so distant with her daughter and why she was never really brought up . I'm guessing that rich people have money for nannies so they don't have to worry about their kids and that does seem like something Daisy would...

...Analysis of “To kill a mockingbird” Saryuna Rinchino, gr. 02193 The story under analysis is an extract from a novel “To kill a mockingbird”. The book was written by Harper Lee in 1960. Harper Lee was born in 1926 in the state of Alabama. In 1945-1949 she studied law at the University of Alabama. “To kill a mockingbird” is her first novel and after being published it was highly acclaimed and even was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961, one of the most important awards in literature. The book became an international bestseller and was adapted into screen in 1962. The events of the novel “To kill a mockingbird” take place during a difficult time in the South. At that time black people were treated as people of lower level than white ones. Racial Discrimination was running high in the South as a whole, especially in Alabama. Many details of “To kill a mockingbird”are apparently autobiographical but Harper Lee insisted that the novel is fully a work of fiction. The events of the extract take place in the court of Maycomb County. Two small children secretly came to the trial and was sitting there the whole trial. A Negro, Tom Robison by name, was falsely accused in rapping a white woman. But Atticus, a defender and the two children’s father, was absolutely sure in his innocence and tried to give all necessary facts to persuade the jury. Actually it was the white woman’s father, Bob Ewell, who had bitten her as he had seen her kissing Tom Robinson. And also it was Mayella Ewell who...

...connections in this town, like his cousin daisy, and her husband, Tom. He moves into a home next to a wealthy Jay Gatsby, an extravagant man who loves throwing ridiculous parties. As the summer progresses, Nick finally gets invited to one of these parties, where he learns Gatsby is in love with Daisy. Nick helps set up Daisy and Gatsby, and they start spending time together. Tom gets angry and ends up driving Gatsby to his unfortunate demise. While a Feminist reading provides insight into the novel, Fitzgerald’s emphasis on the separated classes system and the materialistic beliefs of the upper class demonstrates that a Marxist approach to the novel is of more use. Feminism criticizes the patriarchal language used in novels, and how that reflects the masculinity in the novel (“Feminist Criticism”). Feminism also analyzes how status and positions in the novel relate to the contrasting man and woman. It recognizes more traditional writing, like mailman. Men tend to work towards solutions, while women work towards connecting and feelings (“Feminist Criticism”). It is exemplified in the book when Fitzgerald writes: “She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. ‘All right,' I said, ‘I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool - the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool'" (Fitzgerald 21). This quote is further emphasizing the traditional place of a woman, which is at Tom’s side. Tom continuously condescends Daisy; controlling her...

...In all of our lives we all have certain responsibilities we are expected to uphold, regardless of how big or small they may be. When we do not handle these things, consequences are soon to follow. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, Daisy proves herself to be incapable of being fulfilled in her life; leeching off of the success and emotions of others to get what she wants. Daisy Buchanan is an incredible example of how wrong everything can go when we don’t respect the feelings of others, nor take our own into consideration. In The Great Gatsby, Daisy proves herself to be a manipulative and irresponsible person and fails to take responsibility for her actions on multiple occasions. Whether it’s taking care of her daughter, staying...

...Jose Zamora MGT 307-02, #3938 September 16, 2014 Case Analysis 1: A Better Tomorrow 1. How can TOMS balance being socially responsible and being focused on profits? “Social Responsibility is a business’s intention, beyond its legal and economic obligations, to do the right things and act in ways that are good for society” (Robbins & Coulter, p. 131). Any business that performs this type of societal concern, aims its purpose to noble causes that helps to construct a better world. They not only focus in the economic and legal areas like most businesses do; they extend their target to those who are really in need. Specifically, TOMS balances being socially responsible and being focused on profits by doing several activities. For one thing, a business that implements social responsibility makes sure that its employees acquire and apply the same philosophy of the company while working. In fact, such philosophy must be predominant throughout the entire company and abroad. Also, the environment of the business with social responsibility is different from those who do not have social responsibility. To demonstrate, a business with social responsibility takes care of its employees, installations, materials used, and processes. In such a way, they avoid accidents and promote harmony, safety, and quality. As a result, the business saves precious time, costs, and money which then are necessary to increase its profits. In addition, a business with social responsibility creates...

...on what a one-of-a-kind thing a family is to each of us. Is it wrong to put our own needs above that of our parents, our brothers and sisters, or even our spouses or children? Even when raised by the by the same parents, in the same community we all grow into unique individuals with directions of our own, independent from the aspirations of our parents and siblings. As I read the three pieces of literature The Glass Menagerie, Barn Burning, and Ulysses it got me thinking about some of the ways in which I feel about my own family situation. I know I could never leave them, but I do know so many people who have set off away from their families. I sometimes desperately envy those with that freedom. In all three works, there is a balance to be found towards responsibility and commitment to family, and freedom and choice to self. For the purpose of this essay I will compare the roles of Tom from The Glass Menagerie, Sarty in Barn Burning, and Ulysses in the poem Ulysses. Although they each served a different role in the family as a brother, father, and a son, they in the end all made a decision to leave their families in each literary piece. | In the play The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, the main character Tom Wingfield struggles with choosing between his own personal dreams versus accepting the reality of his Family’s situation. Tom and his family live in an alley apartment and survive mainly on Tom’s salary from a shoe factory. Tom often seems uninterested...

Overall, people at Sambian are quite satisfied with...

...Defining the Problem:The Critical Step to Realizing Opportunities “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” —Albert Einstein Defining the Right Problem the Right Way Defining the right problem the right way is both the most difficult and the most critical step in problem solving. One can go through a comprehensive problem-solving process, including generating a complete set of goals to use for evaluation, generating a broad set of alternatives, identifying and assessing risks, and carefully evaluating alternatives against the goals, and yet not effectively solve the problem or realize potential opportunities. If the right problem or opportunity has not been identified, the best solutions cannot be identified. And if the problem has not been stated in a way that enables one to identify a solution, it may not get solved at all. Guideline for Developing a Problem or Opportunity Statement Developing a problem statement that will enable a leader to create value requires patience, energy, and focus. And it will take time. There are five simple guidelines that can help you define the right problem the right way.
