...©2008, T. Orman “Quitters Inc.” by Stephen King NOTE to TEACHER: This short story is appropriate for high school students (grades 10-12). It contains strong language that may not be appropriate for all students, so please use your own discretion. I use the movie “Cat’s Eye” as a companion to this story because the first story in the movie is based on “Quitters Inc.” Two differences: Dick Morrison’s son is a daughter in the movie (played by Drew Barrymore) and a cat is used for the “rabbit room.” We also read “The Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” by Jack Finney. If you choose to show the entire movie “Cat’s Eye,” the second story is called “The Ledge.” It is not similar in theme, but you could talk about the similarities as characters from both must go out on a ledge of a tall building. “The Ledge” story (from King’s Night Shift collection) does contain profanity/ language. This document includes: • Vocabulary crossword for Quitters Inc. • Additional vocabulary exercises (can be used before, after, or during reading) • Vocabulary definitions organizer • Pre-reading anticipatory questions • Content comprehension questions • Post-reading follow-up questions • Figurative language exercise • The text (with visuals) of Quitters Inc. (I did the layout, images, and formatting, but the story itself is provided by www.en8848.com.cn/fiction/Fiction/Horror/735.html) • Extended activities: research (both large & small) projects that can be used to collaborate with other departments (such...

...RESEARCH PAPER I. Title: Lining Our Silver Box: A Two Phase Study on the Usage, Attitude and Image of Silver Jewelry II. Background of the Study Sterling silver is a material commonly used in making hand-crafted jewelry. It is a silver-alloy made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Sterling silver jewelry is a popular accessory choice among thrifty shoppers who wish to look stylish and trendy. Buyers of sterling silver jewelry can replicate their favorite accessory trends, look and feel stylishly classy, while only paying a fraction of the cost of genuine silver, gold, or platinum. Silver Box started out in 2006 as a small humble company with a mission to design, execute, and distribute sterling silver jewelry creations of best value to Filipinos all over the country. From its initial launch at a Christmas bazaar, the small business has come far, branching out all around the metro. Despite its initial success and the rising demand for silver, Silver Box’s sales have declined. The company needs to have a clearer vision of what target market it is capable of achieving. In addition, Silver Box currently does not subscribe to any particular marketing strategy. For these reasons, this paper aims to conduct a thorough research on the consumers of sterling silver in order to find the appropriate market segments, brand strategies, and plans of action for Silver Box to reach a higher level of profitability. III. Objectives A. To identify the appropriate target...

Eh ayun nga, mukhang malalate tuloy ako. Ay! Andito na pala ako. "Para!" kasabay na pag-para rin ng isang lalaki. Ang dami rin pala ng estudyante nila dito. Hindi na dapat ako magtaka dahil mukhang maganda ang pasilidad ng eskwelahang ito. Habang naglalakad ako papasok ng gate, may isang boses ng lalaki akong narinig na nagsasabing... "Miss na nakaheadband na may butterfly! Hindi pareho medyas mo!" natatawang sinabi nito. Lumingon ako upang hanapin kung sino ang nakaheadband na may butterfly at bigla ko na lamang naalala na yun pala ang suot ko, kaya tinignan...

" You are five minutes late Samantha!" bungad nito nang makarating siya. Samantha frowned, " we are in the Philippines and the traffic here is hell, okay?" Umupo siya sa katapat na upuan nito at inabot ang kape ni Greg. Humigop siya sa tasa nito pero muntik na niyang maibuga ang laman ng bibig nang makita ang pandidiri sa mukha nito. "eew!! that was gross Samantha" "Bakit naman?" maang-maangan niya "You know what? sa lahat ng models na kilala ko ikaw at ikaw lang ang walang Poise" sabi nito bago humigop sa bagong order na kape, ayaw na kasi nitong uminom sa tasa na ininuman niya kaya binigay nalang ng bakla sa kanya at umorder ng panibago hinawakan niya ang dibdib at kinwari hindi makahinga,"ang sakit mo naman magsalita Greg! ang sakit sakit" umirap ito sa kanya, "ang drama mo girl!"

She's snob but somehow nice, while HE is the gentleman every girl will die for. Will rivalry cross their fate? Or Love will play their lives? He was always mistaken for the popular singer, whom She really hates. Will Her high school life end up just like those typical one's? Or will He make the best or even worst out of it? ➶ Chapter 1: Interference /KATHERINE'S PERSPECTIVE First day of school, sigh. Simula na naman ito ng hectic schedule, little time, less fun, and whatsoever bothersome school works. Pero first day of school sometimes is not that bad, kasi usually pupunta ka lang sa unahan at magpapakilala. Orientations, introductions, chit-chats - yeah, that's pretty much it. Kaya on second thought, I'm going to enjoy this first day lalo na dahil makikita ko na ang aking mga hmm, how should I describe my friends? Loud speaker-like? Loquacious? Nah, pero siguro ganyan nga sila - love ko naman. Ew, korni ko.I guess back na kami sa routine namin. Si Lindsay, medyo brat, madaldal (as I've said), okay naman pag dating sa academics, mabait, at sabihin na nating medyo war-freak. Di sya close sa parents nya gawa ng wala lagi sa bahay nila. So ayun, siguro yun ang dahilan kung bakit parang naging "Play Girl" itong si Lindsay, in other way. Hindi naman talaga. Pero all in all she's one of a kind...
