...The design of The End of Us encourages to approach the gameplay with what Koster would describe a “grokked” internalization of how to master action games. With no overt narrative or goal, the player has no understanding of the correct way to master the game. The game is then an experiment on the mediation of the player over the purposely, undefined rules. The sudden emergence of the orange comet colliding into the player’s purple comet unwarranted suggests the onset of an enemy. The orange comet is a non-playable, unidentified, questionable player. The initial bash or thump brings forth the game-like concern with maintaining health and lives. However, if the purple comet pursues the orange and manages to collide into it, nothing is gained on...

...Defining Characterization Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character. Characterization is revealed through direct characterization and indirect characterization. Direct Characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is. Example: “The patient boy and quiet girl were both well mannered and did not disobey their mother.” Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.” Indirect Characterization shows things that reveal the personality of a character. There are five different methods of indirect characterization: Speech Thoughts Effect on others toward the character. What does the character say? How does the character speak? What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings? What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character? What does the character do? How does the character behave? What does the character look like? How does the character dress? Actions Looks TIP #1: TIP #2: Use the mnemonic device of STEAL to remember the five types of indirect characterization Use indirect characterization to analyze visual media: Film: Look at how the character dresses and moves. Note the facial expressions when the director moves in for a close-up shot. Drama: Pay attention to the way that the characters reveal...

...Cat or Mouse Along the novel the symbolic figures of the cat and the mouse, are named constantly. The cat mainly represents the persecutor, the repressor, while the mouse represents the victim. The cat in the novel represents, for instance, the Nazis and the mouse, the occupied and humiliated Poland. Pilenz and Mahlke also represent both animals: Pilenz the cat as direct or indirectly contributes to Mahlke's destruction, and then again the love and hate relationship that he feels towards Mahlke creates in him such dependence that later turns him into the mouse. Mahlke is the mouse. An animal which is also represented by Mahlke's apple of his throat because he is eternaly humiliated even though he keeps trying to be accepted by the Nazi society all the time, making all kind of feats to pay people's attention. Mahlke is also a cat because of the feelings of dependence and of inferiority that he awakes in Pilenz. The reader is not expected to share Pilenz admiration for Mahlke', due to the way Pilenz tells Mahlke's story. One may have a feeling that, when reading Pilenz's words, Mahlke's attitude is sometimes irritable, egocentric, and so on, despite often the fact that Pilenz wants to deny those feelings which we perceive that he shows. Many times the group of friend’s joke and laugh at Mahlke, including Pilenz: “We laughed as, bluish and shivering, he crossed himself with his waterlogged fingertips, attempted to move his lips in prayer and produced a bit of Latin between chattering...

...The quote is most evident in when anyone is given a certain task, that person then takes on the responsibility of having to accomplish that task. For example, when a carpenter gets a customer that wants new cabinets in their kitchen. The carpenter then has to complete the requests of the customer, doesn’t matter how he gets the job done, but as long as the cabinets are completed. He could get his five workers to complete the job, or he could do it himself with his two top carpenters. The task is given first and it does not matter how or who gets the task done but as long as the cabinets are complete. In the end when the customer sees the final product they will be happy either way, which is where the “[who cares] “in the quote comes into play. The cat does its job in the household by catching the mice, it doesn’t matter what type of cat. Just like building cabinets, in the end as long as the cabinets are what the customer asked...

...In the story A Good Man is Hard to Find, by Flannery O'Connor is about a grandmother’s family going on vacation to Florida when a murderer is on loose. Through the story, the family ends up meeting with the murderer and identify him as Mistif. The grandmother kept talking to him about him and how he’s a good man, but in the end he ended up killing the family. I believe that the grandmother caused the death of her family because of the actions she had taken. The author used foreshadowing as a literary device to show the outcome of the family. The author also shown irony in the story when the family met the misfit and how the grandmother mis-read him. The author use foreshadowing in the beginning when they started to introduce people like the misfit and the cat. In the story the grandmother was always kept talking about a murderer on loose. Not just that, the cat played a huge role as Bailey her son, didn’t want to bring the cat. The grandmother first stated it when she...

...learned about the INROADS program, a non profit organization that places minorities into internships at a corporate level. I participated in this program and I was taught how to interview and given several mock interviews. Once I completed all of these interviews I passed onto the corporate interview phase where I interview with major companies like IBM and AT&T. During the interviews I learned about both positions and at the time, Project Management/Frond End Developer and Software Engineer both sounded like good positions. I know long term I wanted to do something with mobile application development so the contribution of both positions would put me closer to my goals. After my interview I was offered positions at both companies so of course I had to decide between the two. With a five day grace period a decision had to be made quickly. Being a Software Engineer would provide me with the skills I needed to do mobile application development on the back end, in other words, “coding”. The role of a Front End Developer or Project Manager would assist me in developing the user interface or user experience of mobile applications. It would also help me learn the different methodologies and approaches to application development. The position at IBM would require me to move to Durham, NC and the position at AT&T required me to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia. If I took the position in either place I would have to sublease a home for the summer. This would mean I needed to...

...Amazing Autumn The most amazing season of the year is autumn, or as most southerners call it fall. Fall is the time of year when football comes on, the leaves change, bonfires are in full swing, and anything pumpkin and apple is selling. The anticipation of all the little trick-or-treaters, and knowing that family will be around in just a few short weeks makes the heart warm from the inside out. Fall brings Thanksgiving, Halloween, and much more, it also starts to bring everyone’s heart out. Everyone has a bigger heart it seems when fall comes and makes it appearance for a few months, after that it leaves one longing for it until it comes back around. Fall is full of wonderful things that make the season what it is. At the beginning of an East Tennessee fall, all which is heard is “Go big orange!’ All people want to see are the mountains’ trees changing from the bright green and dull green colors into reds, oranges, yellows, and some deep purples. The changing of the leaves’ color and the yelling of Tennessee Volunteer fanatics are how one will know the wonderful season fall is upon us. When fall arrives, Starbucks starts to sell pumpkin spice lattes, and Wal-Mart sells pumpkins to carve. Some will start to see women and men drinking the hot and delicious pumpkin spice lattes and children planning what to carve on their pumpkins. With children planning to carve pumpkins, people will start to see the pumpkins with rather menacing, and some humorous, faces carved into them...

...accomplish objective(s). To assume a defeat for one of the parties in conflict can preclude the possibility of a win-win option. While sports metaphors are generally used in the context of a winner and a loser, they can also impart an implied opportunity (Wilmot & Hocker, 2014). Competing for position or ideas can also include the possibility for a satisfactory resolution for all parties. At The United States Institute of Peace Sports and Peacebuilding Symposium, participants explored sports contributions to peacemaking efforts and the effectiveness of sports metaphors. It was recognized that “Sports speaks a language of its own that can be translated seamlessly from one culture to another” (Perreault, 2010). Terms like dancing in the end zone, home court advantage, or a decisive blow, all imply a single focus for a victory over an opponent. On the other hand, to be on a level playing field, in the huddle, or in formation, implies a collaborative effort to resolving a conflict. When using a sports metaphor we assume that the other parties involved are working within an...

...Maria Nathan Writing Assignment-1 Strategic Design at Dynacorp 1. If you were on the Dynacorp task force, what would be your first choice for an alternative design? What would be your second choice?. Answer: If I am on the Dynacorp task force, my first choice for an alternative design would be front /back structure of strategic design. This structure divides the organization into two parts such that the back end products which include engineering, manufacturing and the logistics and the front end is faced by the marketing and sales division. As Dynacorp is spread across the US and as well as the world, this front/back structure will also support the various divisions spread across the globe. Each country where Dynacorp wants to expand itself can have its marketing and sales division and the manufacturing division can be located in a country where the production costs would be as lower as possible. This would be an advantage by lowering the production costs and increasing the profit of Dynacorp. The marketing division, which becomes the back end of the structure, can address the various issues faced by the Dynacorp, with one major issue of handling the change from dealing with the direct customers to the consulting firms with special practices in ITC. This can be coordinated with the engineering and the production divisions, which in turn spread across the globe. With the advancement in the information exchange systems, the communication between the divisions can...
