...A: 1) Text 1 – The Sandra Bullock Trade Text 1 is written by David Brooks and was brought in The New York Times in 2010. In the beginning the text focuses on Sandra Bullock’s life. She has just won an Academy Award for best actress, but beneath the surface, something seems to be very wrong. Brooks uses Bullock as an example of his later conclusion. He puts a spot on the relationship between happiness and economic wealth. According to Brooks there is something a lot more important than economic wealth. “Marital happiness is far more important than anything else in determining personal well-being”. Brooks uses a lot of statistics to support his points of view. From one of the statistics, he deduces that winning the lottery does not make you any happier. Instead he tells that we are happiest after our retirement. “The overall impression from this research is that economic and professional success exists on the surface of life, and that they emerge out of interpersonal relationships, which are much deeper and more important”. The main point in this text is that marital happiness is way more important than economic wealth. Text 2 – But will it make you happy? Text 2 is written by Stephanie Rosenbloom and was brought in The New York Times in 2010. It focuses on the fact, that we are in an economic crisis and we do not spend as much money as we did before the crisis. Because of that, we have to use our money properly. “..people are happier when they spend money on experiences...

...Two things happened to Sandra Bullock this month. First, she won an Academy Award for best actress. Then came the news reports claiming that her husband is an adulterous jerk. So the philosophic question of the day is: Would you take that as a deal? Would you exchange a tremendous professional triumph for a severe personal blow? On the one hand, an Academy Award is nothing to sneeze at. Bullock has earned the admiration of her peers in a way very few experience. She’ll make more money for years to come. She may even live longer. Research by Donald A. Redelmeier and Sheldon M. Singh has found that, on average, Oscar winners live nearly four years longer than nominees that don’t win. Nonetheless, if you had to take more than three seconds to think about this question, you are absolutely crazy. Marital happiness is far more important than anything else in determining personal well-being. If you have a successful marriage, it doesn’t matter how many professional setbacks you endure, you will be reasonably happy. If you have an unsuccessful marriage, it doesn’t matter how many career triumphs you record, you will remain significantly unfulfilled. This isn’t just sermonizing. This is the age of research, so there’s data to back this up. Over the past few decades, teams of researchers have been studying happiness. Their work, which seemed flimsy at first, has developed an impressive rigor, and one of the key findings is that, just as the old sages predicted, worldly success has...

...For a writer with quite a small oeuvre--a novella, a volume of poems, and a book of short fiction--Chicana feminist Sandra Cisneros has become widely read and known. Cisneros blurs lines between genres, calling her fiction, often vignettes rather than structured narratives, "lazy poems" ("Do You Know Me?" 79). Her Bildungsroman, The House on Mango Street, is read both as a young adult novel and as a work of adult fiction, and her most recent book of short stories, Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991), includes prose poems similar to those in Mango Street [The House on Mango Street], and longer works. Most of her fiction is composed as first-person narratives told to us by the central protagonist. She speaks for people like herself or whom she has known--Mexican and Chicana girls and women who grew up "on the borderlands." According to Cisneros, "If I were asked what it is I write about, I would have to say I write about those ghosts inside that haunt me" ("Ghosts and Voices" 73). Part of those ghosts are the myths and legends of the borderlands, which can hold women back in their quests for self-identity, or, when creatively adapted, can offer possibilities for constructing new cultural motifs. In The House on Mango Street, like Cisneros's childhood home, located in Chicago's barrio, the protagonist Esperanza says, "Mexicans don't like their women strong" (10). One could say that all of Cisneros's female characters either struggle to be strong and succeed, thus transcending...

...Vanessa Calderon English 102 April 16, 2011 Research paper Sandra Cisneros Sandra Cisneros a well known author has written two stories that are different in subject but reflect her life in some way. These two exceptional stories are “Barbie Q” and “Eleven”. Most of her writings are about the different events that she encounters throughout her life, some are about the Hispanic community and some about the role of women in society. Cisneros writes about how important is to love one. She utilizes these stories in order to express frustration on the role and superiority that man have and the importance we give age. In her writing Cisneros portrays the struggles she had to contend with growing up as in immigrant in the United States. Cisneros expressed these viewpoints as a child to add an innocent tone to her writings. Sandra Cisneros began writing on the experiences she encountered throughout her life. She came from a different background then most Americans writers. In her stories she spoke about her life, struggles, and challenges she faced. Born in Chicago in 1954 to Mexican parents Sandra Cisneros learned to value culture and the importance of dependency. She was the third and only daughter in a family of seven children. Most of her writings explore issues that are important to her such as feminism, love, oppression, and religion. Cisneros says, "If I were asked what it is I write about, I would have to say I write about those ghosts inside that haunt...

...Callaway Electronics Company Founded in the late 1970s by Phil Knight, a brilliant engineer, the Callaway Electronics Company has experienced tremendous growth as a producer of specialized components for the computer industry. But like many companies that have experienced this type of growth, Callaway has reached near-capacity conditions in its plant. Undertaking an expansion of new capacity will be at least sixteen months in the future. Known for its high quality and innovative approaches, Callaway has been forced to subcontract some work. Recently, one of the major computer manufacturers approached Callaway to design and build a subsystem. While capacity could be made available for almost all of the subsystem at the Callaway facility, it became apparent that one key component, a rather intricate and yet very inexpensive circuit board, would have to be subcontracted. The boards were under a government contract that would make Callaway a subcontractor. All of Callaway’s suppliers are also subcontractors. This would mean “tons of forms” to be sent to suppliers but would also give Callaway some leverage. Based on the projected value of the order, it would be necessary for each supplier to provide a cost and price breakdown on the SF 1491. From this breakdown, Callaway could estimate the reasonableness of the price. Callaway engineers would provide the design to meet the customer’s specs, and, in turn, it would be supply management’s responsibility to handle the contracting...

... House on Mango Street Reading Log Entry One What is the family’s situation? What clues gave this impression? The family's situation was that they were too poor to afford a real house, and moved around a lot. If they did manage to find a place to live, it was generally a rundown house. On page 3 the author says “We didn’t always live on Mango Street. Before that we lived on Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler. Before Keeler was Paulina and before that I can remember.” This shows the reader that the narrator has moved a lot, and that she has moved so often that she was not able to keep track of all the places that she lived in. Another piece of evidence from page 3 is “... and we didn’t have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom.” The evidence here is stating the narrator’s previous circumstances were very poor, and she didn’t have any luxuries living there. On page 4 the narrator says “... and the windows are so small you’d think they were holding their breath...one washroom. Everyone has to share a bedroom…” The reader is able to tell that the narrator’s living conditions did not improve much, and that she is not pleased with her new home. All of the three quotes show how the family is not rich enough to purchase a decent home for everyone to live in. House on Mango Street Reading Log Entry...

...Jerry Spinelli’s book Crash, Crash changes a great deal in a long period of time in unexpected ways. When Crash was a child he was extremely aggressive and judgmental. Crash is like this when:“ ‘I don’t play with guns’ [said Penn] I didn't take it [...] and shot him right between the eyes” (Spinelli 13). It proves that he's very hostile and he doesn’t respect Penn’s “not playing with guns” belief, so it shows he doesn't respect others opinions. Since Crash beat him in water guns he will want to keep beating him, making Penn the victim of Crash’s pranks and later, bullying. Eventually, Crash becomes more egocentric and brutish than ever. After Jane rejects Crash in favor of Penn at a dance, Crash “took a quick half step [...] and rammed into...

...Contemporary Literature Final Paper Never Marry Me Sandra Cisneros’ short story “Never Marry a Mexican” details the life of a young, Chicana woman who struggles with an intense yearning and contempt for love and the union of marriage. It opens speaking about her childhood and recounts individual, life-altering events that have led her to foster her adult beliefs as well as her disillusionment with marriage. She has internalized events that occurred in her parent’s marriage and used these to alter her faith in the structure of the traditional, heterosexual marriage contract to the point that she no longer believes it has held up to the norms of society. The protagonist in “Never Marry a Mexican” does indeed love marriage, but because of the events that have transpired throughout her life she chooses to lash out in unusual fashions. Psychologically, she has had to cope with her inability to achieve her ultimate dream, of marrying a white man. She seeks to become something better than she believes that she is capable of on her own or even with a Mexican man. Sandra Cisneros uses the protagonist to show her readers the psychological struggles that women, more specifically, colored women have to contend with on a regular basis. The protagonist makes it clear to the reader that, in this particular case, male infidelity plays a large role in psychologically harming women who otherwise would likely be open to marriage. For example, at one point in the story the protagonist says...

...means the opposite. Furthermore, you see the author’s use of humour in his colourful language. He uses expressions like “kick a battleship’s ass” and “he wasn’t just full of hot air”, which both are metaphors to interest and entertain the reader. Both of the quotes are from paragraph #5, but playful language is used during the entire text. The used language is overall very casual, and the author makes use of an informal tone. In the text you also find intertextuality, which is references to other movies or texts, the readers know. For example the author makes a reference to the character James Bond from the movies of the same name, when he says “Asian 007’s” and he references to the American pop-culture when he mentions American actress Sandra Bullock in a casual tone. These intertextual references create a space where the reader feels at home in the text because of the many recognizable elements. The function of the text is both delighting and persuading the reader. The delighting shows in the great the use of humour and playful language, which engages the reader and makes the article interesting...
