...CHAPTER ONE In the Beginning Dear Female Eye Reader, My editor tells me there has been much interest in my story, even before I officially begin to tell it. There has also been a bit of ridicule that I would be so naive as to imagine I could ever find a man who lived up to all of my Ten Commandments of Love and Marriage. I disagree. Before I begin the journey to revisit my exes to see if my Ten Commandments blinded me to a man who was perfect for me, I should at least let you know what they are: 1. He shalt love me as he loves himself. 2. He shalt not kill my dreams. 3. He shalt not steal my confidence. 4. He shalt not covet my attention. 5. He shalt not skip date night. 6. He shalt not complain about me to others. 7. He shalt not lie to me. 8. He shalt not covet porn. 9. He shalt not cheat on me. 10. He shalt honor family above all. You may think these were written by a sixteen year old girl. You would be right. But even at thirty, I believe in them deep in my gut. I’m not even going to correct shalt to shall here, because that sixteen year old girl thought shalt was strong enough to convey just how unbreakable these commandments should be. Are they too harsh? Revisit my exes with me and let your gut be the judge. Cordially, Diana Hudson aka Queen of the Lists CHAPTER TWO List Not, Lest You Fall Thirty. I turned thirty at 4:06 a.m. Awake. Alone. When I was...

...Unfortunately, the system has taken its turn to a form of hypnotism. The government gains its power and ability to hypnotize due to Americans depending on them to perform high expectations and complete each task that is asked upon. The fault in Americans depending on government is not a one-party tango however, but it is on both parts; politicians promise things that they cannot fulfill and Americans embrace the first Amendment of the Constitution, “Freedom of Speech”, with their mouths, but not with enough physical action. Through the processes of campaigning, whether it be potential Presidents, Senators, Congress, etc., there is only one motive; tell the people what they want to here. Americans are too wrapped up in the words of politicians to realize the facts that some of their words cannot be true, but of course, they have no choice. Since the system of Government was founded, promises have been made to higher the casting of votes, some of which have been fulfilled, others have not. However, Politicians fail to compromise that power is beyond their own self, trying to make things possible that is beyond their power. Under the Powers of Separation and Checks and Balances, it is unrealistic for one party to hold the upmost power of the most powerful nation/country in the world. During Barack Obama campaigning and Presidency, he pushed the repealing DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), making a promise to same-sex couples to be married and receive the same benefits and federal rights...

...The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page As a reader many of us read for knowledge. And that is life. It is like a book. It has many chapters, and we need to read the pages to learn from our experiences. As we live, things happen around as time flows. And as we read, things also happen while we read the story. And our levels of experience increases as we learn. Just like a book. We read the story from page to page. In real life, the pages represent the days, weeks and time that passes. The chapters represent the portion of our lives. In one chapter we enjoy everything we have, but what we do not know, is in the next chapter, our story ends. And we are the characters and we portray ourselves in our own story. We meet people, which can be the cause of our failure or the one who guides us to the right path. When we read, we learn. Just like in our daily lives. When we live, we get knowledge from experiences. After one chapter, there goes another one. Our story continues to move on until it is our time. In books, there are happy moments but there also sad. In our lives, we may stumble and be lost. But that does not mean we are lost forever. We cannot get to the next stage if we keep on repeating the pages of our lives. We must forget the past in order to get into our destination. Because in life we cannot skip something, for we may lose something that plays an important role in our lives. We must live our lives to the fullest. In books, what happens is...

...This set of 28 questions, taken from prior examinations, covers topics in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The purpose of sample multiple choice questions is to acquaint you with the style and substance of typical exam questions over this material. Please be aware that: 1. multiple choice format questions are only one of many resources available to prepare for testing events – reading textbook chapters and working through chapter examples, studying the end-of-chapter review problem and accompanying solution, and reviewing assigned homework items and the published solutions may be more powerful methods to increase your understanding of the topics covered in the course. 2. the exam questions used this quarter will be similar but different from these example questions – understanding the main concepts in each chapter is critical to success on the testing events; remembering a sample question may be of some help but the format of a question on the same topic often differs rendering memory a distant second choice to understanding. The Questions: 6. Scheney Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company's work in process inventory on March 31 consisted of 20,000 units.

...------------------------------------------------- The Effects of Failing Grades in Major Subjects to Fourth Year Students CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter generally tackles the researchers’ introduction, background of the study, statement of the problem, hypothesis, and significance of the study, scope, limitations, and delimitations of the study, conceptual framework, research paradigm, and the definition of terms. INTRODUCTION There is definitely a big difference between undergraduates and the graduating ones. As seniority comes into place, the researchers would like to expand the idea of academic pressure to the fourth year students since their schedules are hectic and made more excruciating for they focus on their collegiate lives, but there will come a time that they won’t be able to balance the flavors of a tasteful graduation. One sickening of an obstacle is a failing grade. Though very familiar to the students’ ideas, the researchers would be able to know what the aftermaths are on this predicament. Some may take this as a grueling challenge, while others consider this as a misfortune. But one thing is for sure though, the learning experiences of fourth year students are crazily implied at any given level. At the preceding chapters, the researchers find out whether these unfortunate table turn is either a non – factor or a really heavy impact to their students. Furthermore, the researchers resolve the question “How big is a failing mark to...

...hail from different schools, the Alpha Kappa Psi chapters provide similar goals and opportunities, as evidenced in the similarities of experiences between my brother and roommate. The responses of my roommate draws many parallels to the information outlined in Peer Group Influences Supporting Untracking. In particular, Hugh Mehan states “Several Saratoga students told us that they did not know anyone in AVID when they joined but, after a few years, almost all of their friends were from AVID. These friendships developed because they were together in classes throughout the day and worked together in study groups.” (Mehan, 150) Mehan argues that this untracking program has allowed many newcomers to acculturate into society and create bonds among every one of its members. This group not only prevents students from being isolated and disconnected during school time but also provides an opportunity to share experiences and discuss matters relevant to their life in a supportive community culture. My roommate agrees with Mehan’s opinion as he states that Alpha Kappa Psi gave him the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people and ways to assimilate with professionals in the business field. In addition, my roommate affirms that his fraternity has helped him build deep, lasting relationships. He says that most of his friends are from the organization because they can share real life experiences and effectively communicate with one another since the conversations are mostly business...

...Theme Competition: The theme of competition has been shown in various ways throughout the chapters of "the Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. It is specified in several chapters; starting in chapter 2 Katniss starts to describe her feeling which leads to the events that she believes that will take place in the arena. "I feel like I owe him something and I hate owing people. Maybe if I had thanked him at some point I'd be feeling less conflicted now. I thought about it a couple of times, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself and now it never will, because we’re going to be thrown into an arena to fight to death. Exactly how I’m I supposed to work in a thank you in there? Somehow it just won’t seem sincere if I’m trying to slit his throat. This quote is described as to Katniss does not want to catch any feelings for Peeta because eventually they will be at a stage where they must compete to kill one another. Another example that is shows the theme competition is exhibited in chapter 3; “I can’t win prim must know that in her heart. The competition will be far beyond abilities kids from wealthier districts where winning is a huge honor, who’ve been trained their whole lives for this. Boys who are two to three times my size. Girls who know twenty different ways to kill you with a knife. Oh there’ll be people like me too people to weed out before the real fun begins”. This quote is described that here are children that are going to be thrown in the competition who...

Billy also becomes friends with Old Bill, a homeless drunk. He shows Billy how to earn money.

...Explore the relationship between Amir and his father using chapters 1-6. Chapter one is a very short chapter. In said chapter, the detail of the relationship between Amir and Baba is barely touched upon. As Amir talks of him, and the other names he lists as if he has not heard from Baba, or anyone else, for a long time. It instantly suggests that an event must have happened to cause such separation. Amir lists Hassan first, and Baba just after. Due to the novel being in present day at this point, Hassan holds more importance to Amir as he was the first name that was mentioned. The second chapter starts to highlight the unhealthy father/son relationship between Baba and Amir. Amir looks up to Baba highly and brags about him and longs for his company. Baba, however, is always busy with work or engaging in ‘grown up time’, which is drinking and smoking. Although it is common to distance yourself from loved ones after your wife died during childbirth, distancing himself this much and for this long is highly irregular. Amir looks up to Baba and there for has a positive Father complex during this time. We also discover that Baba set up the brotherly relationship between Amir and Hassan by hiring the same nursing woman he had for Amir, for Hassan. -------------------------------------------- [ 1 ]. The first stage of bereavement begins at the moment of death, and continues for the next several weeks or months. [ 2 ]. The father complex can influence the way people think about...
