...THOSE WINTER SUNDAY: ANALYSIS The poem “Those Winter Sunday” by Robert Hayden has the general motif of appreciation using the imagery as one of its primary tools of supporting this motif. The poem was a manly a reflection of the speakers youth. during which the speaker talks about his youth and he/she explains his/her lack of understanding and appreciations of the depth his/her father went through in making sure that the speaker as well as the rest of his/hers family was well taken care of. During the speakers youth he/she held a lot of resentment toward the father, thinking that he/she was the cause of the hardship they faced. in the speakers present day and age the speaker never directly speaks of having its own family but was implied in the last stanza of the poem “love austere and lonely offices”[14]. “Sundays too my father got up early”[1] this first line especially the “Sunday” lets the readers know the depth his/her father worked. The father of the speaker even went as far as to work on Sunday a day that everyone presumably knows as a day of rest. Also letting us know how hard his father worked the speaker stated in the fourth line of the poem “from labor in the weekday weather mad” his father not only worked tireless through the weekday but also thru the weekend. With him working throughout the weekday and weekday the speaker father woke up early and “put his clothes on in the blue black cold” and with him doing this he often woke everyone else in the house causing...

...The poem titled "Those Winter Days" by Robert Hayden, the text from the Compact Literature (KIRSZNER & MANDELL), is about a hard working father who expresses the love he has for his son by doing simple things on a sunday morning. The poem is about a lonely father who wakes up on early on a sunday. Typically sunday is supposed to be a resting day, a day when you get to sleep in and relax but not this father. Regardless of that he wakes up early and does and with the hard labor that his hand have experienced throughout the weekday he *lyric poem, free verse *Two themes are love and ingratitude stanza1 Those Winter Sundays" tells about a father from his child's point of view. The first line "Sundays too my father got up early" (Hayden 1) indicates that the father wakes up early everyday, presumably part of his sacrifice to earn a living for his family as head of the household. The rest of the lines in the first stanza paint the picture of a father who, though it is still dark and though he is tired from working most of the week, tends to the fire - a task he takes upon himself and has never received gratitude for. stanza2 The second stanza describes the child getting up, first waking up to the cold then eventually being enveloped by the warmth of the house that his father started. In spite of the warmth, though, he is not eager to get out of bed but rather, tries to delay joining his father, "fearing the chronic angers of that house stanza3 Finally, the last...

In order to eliminate this new problem of increased costs, it will be necessary for our company to amend our existing store hours. To begin with, stores will now be closed on Sundays. In addition, Monday through Saturday, each work day will be shortened by two hours, and stores will be opening one hour later and closing one hour earlier. Instead of the usual work week consisting of 8-hour days five days a week, managers will now be required to work 10-hour days four days of the week. This change of schedule will not only benefit our organization but it will also benefit you personally because it will allow you to save additional money on gas, will give your more free time to enjoy with your family, and it will allow you to feel less stress. In addition to these changes, part-time employees will need to consolidate all of their hours into 1, 2, or 3 day workweeks, depending on the number of hours that they are normally scheduled to work.

Choose two misunderstandings you experienced and fill out the chart for these. Respond to questions 1 and 2 shown under the chart for each example of a misunderstanding. In your response, include the following: • Cite a meaningful misunderstanding rather than a general or less material misunderstanding. • Use business- or work-related examples rather than personal ones. • Identify the roles of the sender and receiver, such as manager, peer, subordinate, client, vendor, and so forth One misunderstanding I experienced when communicating with someone at work is when one of my co-worker, Rhonda had a pack of crackers in her desk and when she came back to work on Monday they were gone. Another co-worker, Marsha and I had worked that weekend. During our time of working I went to our vending machine and didn’t have enough money for what I wanted so I got a pack of crackers. When I came back I stated that I didn’t have enough money so I got a pack of crackers. When Rhonda said something about her crackers missing Marsha that I worked with that weekend mentioned that I had a pack of crackers over the weekend. She suggested that maybe I took them because I went to the machine and didn’t have enough money to get what I wanted. Who was the sender? Me Who was the receiver? Marsha What was the message?

...Sundays to me are a day of rest. I am a Christian and my religion is to attend church on Sundays and rest in the evenings. Now I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t attend church every single Sunday like I should but I make it when I am not working. I grew up with the tradition of going to church every Sunday but when I turned sixteen that all changed. I had a car and a job to pay for my car. I worked almost every Sunday because I had school during the week and I also played sports like football and rugby which packed my week and made it hard to work on weeknights. Since the age of sixteen I have gone to church on and off and barely at all. This repetitive behavior got me into a habit and when I went off to college I didn’t attend church a single day while I was in college. I was just living the college dream not worrying about a thing. At first it was okay but then it grew on me and especially my parents. They became angry with me and told me that I need to attend church as much as possible. So when I came back from winter break I began to go to church again. So you could say there was some leniency at first but then my parents began to crack down. Sundays have pretty much been the same throughout my entire life and in the end there was some change but not a lot. France has laws that create a day of rest on Sundays. No shops are allowed to be open and no one is allowed to work in their shops. This was made to create a day of rest filled with time for family. Many stores felt this...

...Assignment 2.2 - What Color Is Your Day? Clients will not have the same values, beliefs, and goals that you do regarding health and wellness. To illustrate these differences, assign a color to each day of the week. Take time to consider what color you think best represents each day and be able to justify your thought process. We will share our colors with the class and see where there are similarities and differences. Example: “I think Monday is best represented by the color gray. I assigned this color because Monday is the beginning of the school week and so it is rather gloomy because I still have the whole week ahead of me.” |Day |What color represents the day? |Why did you select that color? | |Monday | |I think my Monday is best represented by the color orange.

...In ten years, Plant World had grown from a one-person venture into the largest nursery and landscaping business in its area. Its founder, Myta Ong, combined a lifelong interest in plants with a botany degree to provide a unique customer service. Ong had managed the company’s growth so that even with twenty full-time employees working in six to eight crews, the organization culture was still as open, friendly, and personal as it had been when her only "employees" were friends who would volunteer to help her move a heavy tree. To maintain that atmosphere, Ong involved herself increasingly with people and less with plants as the company grew. With hundreds of customers and scores of jobs at any one time, she could no longer say without hesitation whether she had a dozen arborvitae bushes in stock or when Mrs. Carnack’s estate would need a new load of bark mulch. But she knew when Rose had been up all night with her baby, when Gary was likely to be late because he had driven to see his sick father over the weekend, and how to deal with Ellen when she was depressed because of her boyfriend’s behavior. She kept track of the birthdays of every employee and even those of their children. She was up every morning by five-thirty arranging schedules so that John could get his son out of daycare at four o’clock and Martina could be back in town for her afternoon high school equivalency classes. Paying all this attention to employees may have led Ong to make a single bad business decision...

...Growing up not interested in alcohol If you do not drink or get drunk, it is as if you are not a part of everyone else because most people do not think you can have a fun Friday night or weekend at a party without alcohol. When I grew up, it was not as if alcohol was a bad thing in my home, but it was never the big thing to talk about, when it was things you were not allowed, if you were underage. My parents are not big drinkers, not even at parties, but when they got something to drink I was allowed to taste and that was when I found out, that I did not like the taste of alcohol. And after that I could not understand why people drank it if it tasted horrible. When I got confirmed everyone would always ask me if I would want a beer. I would say no because I did not like it and I got weird looks form it. When I turned 16 and started grade 9, everyone began to drink. It was late to begin when I hear from others; I have met the last two years. I went to some parties and people would ask if I should have something to drink and I would decline and they would try to convince me to drink it even if I kept saying no. After most of the parties, I noticed how people behaved and how they describes it Monday after the weekend and could not see, how it can be appalling to get drunk. People say you get loose and forget your boundaries. Yes it can be true. But true to be told I don’t have any boundaries, so when I am around drunken people I feel normal because they think I am as...
