I’ll make you another one next quarter! Jandro: Hm! How insufficient can you be? You useless little rat. *picks him up in his sleeve and punches him in the face, blood gushing out from his mouth* I’ll give you one more chance. Value it. Kim: Jandro, you’re too harsh. Please stop. Help him up, C’mon. Jandro: Shut up, Kim! Let’s leave this useless dog here. We’d be lucky enough if he gets caught by the guards after curfew. (Scene 2, Jandro walks out with his friend, but the boy was able to gather a little more strength to stand up and attempts to push Jandro, but Kim notices him and screamed, and Jandro turned around and pushed the boy instead.

...Haircuts started as a barbershop with one chair. Over the years, Myra has expanded her business to include hair styling for both men and women. Her business has grown to three barber chairs, three hair styling stations, and a shampoo station. In response to her customers’ requests, Myra would like to further expand her business by adding two stations for manicures. The small gift shop next door to her has recently come up for sale, and she is thinking about acquiring that area for manicures. When UMUC Haircuts first opened, it was the only barbershop within a ten-mile radius. It was one of the first businesses to open in the strip mall where it is located, and the number of customers has increased each year. Over the years a couple of other barbershops have opened around the area, and there is news that a Hair Cuttery (offering men’s and women’s haircuts and styling only) will open about 5 miles away. In the shopping center across the street, an expensive spa has now opened where hair styling is offered along with manicures. Just around the corner from UMUC Haircuts is a home with a sign offering manicures. While UMUC Haircuts continues to grow and profits are increasing, Myra is sure that she could improve her operation in the areas of scheduling, supply ordering, inventory management, collecting customer information, and marketing. Customer and Employee Scheduling: Currently, Myra takes appointments by phone and accepts walk-in customers on an as-available basis...

...N A R R AT I V E M AG A Z I N E .C O M A Father’s Story A S T O R Y by Andre Dubus Andre Dubus, novelist, essayist, and short story writer, was born into a Cajun-Irish Catholic family in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1936. A Marine Corps captain, he left the military to pursue an MFA at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and subsequently lived as a writer and teacher of writing. Dubus was best appreciated for short fiction, receiving the PEN/Malamud Award, the Jean Stein Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Rea Award. “A Father’s Story” is reprinted from Selected Stories (Vintage, 1989). Dubus died at home in Massachusetts in 1999. M Y N A M E I S Luke Ripley, and here is what I call my life: I own a stable of thirty horses, and I have young people who teach riding, and we board some horses too. This is in northeastern Massachusetts. I have a barn with an indoor ring, and outside I’ve got two fenced-in rings and a pasture that ends at a woods with trails. I call it my life because it looks like it is, and people I know call it that, but it’s a life I can get away from when I hunt and fish, and some nights after dinner when I sit in the dark in the front room and listen to opera. The room faces the lawn and the road, a two-lane country road. When cars come around the curve northwest of the house, they light up the lawn for an instant, the leaves of the maple out by the road and the hemlock closer to the window. Then I’m alone again, or I’d appear to be...

...are going explore the ways in which Shakespeare presents and develops tensions in Verona in his play Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story; the play begins with a prologue telling us that the two lovers die "A pair of star-cross`d lovers take their life" this creates tension leaving the audience engaged and wonder why do this young children have to die? How did they die? And who is to be held responsible for their death. The play opens on a scene of conflict, where the audience learns that the Montague’s and Capulet’s are lifelong enemies and hold an "ancient grudge". In Act 1 scene 1 Sampson and Gregory, two servants of the house of Capulet, walk through the streets of Verona with a conversation of vulgar jokes, where Sampson talks about his hatred of the house of Montague. The two make remarks about physically dominating the Montague men and sexually dominating the Montague women by illustrating how they intertwine sex with violence and death. Gregory sees two Montague servants approaching, and discusses with Sampson the best way to provoke them into a fight without breaking the law. Sampson bites his thumb at the Montague’s. A verbal confrontation quickly escalates into a fight, “do you bite your tongue at us sir?” a fight doesn’t need to happen but because of the masculine honour and pride they had and they believed a man must defend his honour whenever threatened which was why most of the fights both houses had and will have happens Act one scene...

A Spiritual Growth Essential - The Church Often, when dealing with new Christians, it seems as though they don't hold a very high regard for the Church of Jesus Christ. I think that they are mistaking the religious schemes of mankind for the Church of Jesus Christ. They have seen those that have used religion for their own personal gain, and have decided that they want nothing to do with that kind of religion, and I don't blame them. The truth is that the Church of Jesus Christ is not about religion at all, it's about relationship. You see religion is that which mankind does to make one feel good about himself toward God. Christianity is about developing in the personal relationship that God established with you at the moment of your salvation. When you accepted Jesus Christ...
