...multiple critques of "Hills like White Elephants" I will briefly touch on a few. Several reviews elude the imagery and symbolism of the tale. Instead of list each critique in some haphazard bullet list we'll review the three points that were repeated and most obvious. The while elephant is the most prolific revolving theme of the story. Jig tells her boyfriend the hills look like white elepants. He responds that he's never seen one, to which she retorts "Of course you haven't". The hills are the imagery of the story. They are not actual hills but rather a metaphor for a choice of carrying a pregnancy to full term. White elephants are generally referred to as items whose maintenance costs exceeds their usefulness. In the story, Hemmingway is being subtle making an analogy of the hills being a child. For Jig, the costs exceeds the usefulness. To say children are exspensive is a Zamani 2 gross understatement. The hills represent an achievable undesirable journey. Jig comtemplates whether she's willing to make such a trip. This is eluded several times in the story. Her boyfriends perspective is that the hill is blocking his life with Jig. While jig indulges in the thought of the top of the hill; a child;family;life. The station is a allegory for change. The couple has a decision to make before they come or go. Where they are is irrelevant. The only important detail is where they go from here. This is why their location...

...I am 47 years old and I live in Texarkana, Texas. I moved to Texarkana about twelve years ago to get away from the craziness in Houston, Texas. So, I decided to move to the country where I now live with my boyfriend, two, toypoodles, a ferret and my boyfriends parents. We all live in the country on 5 ½ acres. Our home is 2 homes in one which are both separated, the parents live on one side and we live on the other. Once you have been use to living the city life and move to the country it can be quite an adjustment because there is not much to do in Texarkana, Tx compared to Houston. For instance, simple things for me like driving to town seem like such a chore. Since moving to the country instead of going shopping for dinner no more then a mile from home I now have to drive over fifteen miles to town. Sometimes i feel like I have wasted my entire day. The up side of living in the country is that it is quite peaceful and you do not have your neighbor in your back yard. I have four children 2 girls and 2 boys. My girls are Diana my oldest 29 who has two children My grandchildren Makelia 7 and Baby Juan 4. My daughter Mary is 28 and she has 3 boys Vince 8, Louie, 3, and Baby Luke who is 1 ½ . Then, my boys are Brigido 26 (he is my trouble child) who gave me my 2 beautiful grandchildren Isaiah 8, and Destiney who is 4. My baby is Cameron he is 22 years old and in college in Austin, Tx. I am not working at this point because I have been working on obtaining custody of my 2...

...The Story of 4 Boyfriends Once upon a time there was a girl who had four boyfriends. She loved the fourth boyfriend the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best. She also loved the third boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved her second boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl’s first boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him! One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, ‘I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I’ll be all alone.’ Thus, she asked the fourth boyfriend, ‘I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’ ‘No way!’, replied the fourth boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart. The sad girl then asked the third boyfriend, ‘I loved you all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you...

...had always been skeptical of blind dates but in this case I decided to give it a try. My best friend Tamisha had set up a blind date for myself and a friend of her then boyfriend. She did my hair as preparation for my date. I did my makeup and got dressed, came out of the bedroom awaiting her approval. After she fluffed me up a bit more, he called and told me he was outside. We stood outside waiting for his car to pull up in front of our apartment. When he arrived he stood outside the car and I walked towards him a bundle of nerves. He wasn’t very tall, about five eleven. Dark complexion, perfect teeth, low cut hair and just my type. I didn’t even introduce myself to him properly because I was so nervous. He laughed and said, Nice to meet you. I’m Jamaal.” He walked me to the passenger side car door to let me in his 2004 Chevy Impala. I sat down took a deep breath told myself to relax as he closed the door and walked back to the driver’s side. He told me he was taking me to Red Lobster. I was fine with that. I was just hoping that the date would go as good as he looked. We talked a lot throughout the dinner date. I felt comfortable around him, like I had known him for years. I felt that I could open up to him and let him get to know me. I told him about my childhood, my family life and bout past boyfriends. In return he told me all about his sisters and mom. How his dad passed when he was 12. As he spoke to me I noticed how chiseled his face was. How masculine and defined...

...What do all people have in common: children and adults, rich and poor, men and women? Despite the obvious resemblance between us, the answer lies behind the scenes, behind what we all try to forget and to hide with our masks. We are addicted! Every single one of us. We overuse addiction in order to make ourselves feel better when in fact, we all are faking what we are and we are turning into individuals who cannot think for themselves and cannot be what they really are without the help of other things. Even if initially the term addiction was used to define people who used to take drugs or other substances in order to feel better, to be what they wanted to be and to illustrate another universe where they could live their lives the way they wanted, the signification of this word has crossed the border and has turned into a disease we all face at the moment. Although the main forms of addiction are caused by drugs, alcohol, narcotics, cigarettes, we are facing other addictions that we may not be aware of. To begin with, we have to open our eyes and see what the world is really like. Open your eyes wide. What do you see? You see what others make you see. Why? Because the media is controlling and manipulation us and makes us see a different reality. Try to have a conversation with a random person from the street. Wait! You may want to ask for his id messenger or you may want to see the Facebook profile. Give the children a toy. Watch them play. Surprise again! They are throwing...

...Earnings Management through Real activities Manipulation Purpose: Earnings management is a strategy where Company can easily control and manipulate their earnings to reach their pre-determined earning target. The purpose of this article is to develop empirical methods to detect earnings management through real activities manipulation. Companies reducing discretionary expenditures by increasing price discounts which increases sales temporarily, also overproduction report lower cost of goods sold. I think, real activities manipulation is influenced by the stock of inventories and receivables, incentives to meet zero earnings and the industry membership. Is earnings management good or bad and who is responsible to constrain earnings management? How does market react to firm's earnings management behavior? Hypotheses: Companies and accountants cannot predict every business structure, every new and innovative transaction. Therefore, they build up principles that allow for flexibility so that they can adapt to changing circumstances. Also companies use of that flexibility and they employ earnings management techniques to shade financial unpredictability. I think, the real results of the decisions of the management are veiled. In this article, there were two main hypotheses that are stated in alternative form, are the following: H1A. After controlling for sales level, suspect company years shows evidence of at least one of the following: abnormally low cash flow from operations...

...truth about the new herd taking over their territory. He is afraid that the old man might shout on his face and rave. Even though things aren’t going well in their territory, Basil told the Old Man that things are well and there’s nothing to worry about. This has lead to the Old Man believing that everything is going so well. If Basil was only brave enough to tell Old Man the truth, Old man might have prevented the departure of other walruses to the new herd. In this story, there seemed to have a “mum effect” which occurs when people are reluctant to communicate bad news. Basil clearly was reluctant to deliver the real and bad news to Old Man. 2. What communication “lessons” does this fable offer to those who are serious about careers in the new workplace? In the new workplace, our channels of communication should be open may it be actively or passively. The real information should be told no matter how bad it may be. Failure to communicate the whole truth might affect the organization badly and it may lead to a bigger and chains of problems. In listening, we should be able to interpret correctly what we have heard especially if it is an instruction. Your boss might be disappointed in you once you do things wrongly and he might not trust you with crucial and important tasks again. We don’t want that to happen especially when we are new in the workplace. We should avoid...

...Fairly Real Tales Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth is about the power of fairy tales. As del Toro discusses, for Ofelia, fantasy compensates for the horrors of reality. Throughout the film, she struggles to reconcile her two worlds: the real and the imaginary. Furthermore, her imaginary world can be seen as one in which she has the agency that she is denied in the real world. Ultimately, Ofelia’s fairy tale world offers her insight into the real world and salvation from the horrors of the real world. In an interview, Ethan Alter asked Guillermo del Toro whether Ofelia’s fantasy world is real or all in her mind. He answered that it’s true: “There’s a very clear instance in the movie where there is no other explanation” (Ethan 14). He says that “in my mind, the movie tries to say that if you don’t know where to look, you won’t see these creatures. Like Vidal—he’s unable to see them” (Ethan 14). However, he does say that other viewers may see the film in different ways: “there are two kinds of audiences for this movie: one that will believe it’s real and the other that will think it’s imaginary. For me, the movie is like a Rorschach test. It defines you as a glass-half-empty or glass-half-full person. Which is fine, I like the idea of that being your choice” (Ethan 14). Del Toro’s comments prove that Pan’s Labyrinth attempts to show a world in which fairy tales offer insight into reality and a means of saving oneself from its daily...
