...Rachel’s Secret, a historical-fiction novel, based on the Kishinev Pogrom, about murder, anti-semitism, hate, and having the strength to overcome it all. Written by Shelly Sanders and published in 2012, Sanders takes us into the eyes of a Jew living in pre-revolutionary Russia, told in a way that would allow teenagers to understand the struggles since a teenager is the main character. The book is written very well overall, with a few minor grammar errors here and there which don’t take away from the subject matter itself. The book handled this serious matter very well, taking a lot of care to not make light of the situation. It really goes to show just how hated Jewish people back then, with something as simple as a lie leading to the deaths...

...Some readers have commented that Mary Shelly presents the creature as more human than his creator. How far do you agree with this view? To some extent I agree with this statement, but there is also a point of disagreement. Shelly introduces the creature into the novel with physical human characteristics, who soon begins to learn the human language and feel human emotions and senses such as love, kindness, pain and anger. The creature takes complete responsibility for his actions, respects life more than Frankenstein, which is apparent by Frankenstein robbing graves to create the creature, and the fact that Frankenstein abandons the creature to die, only for the creature to experience the hatred of mankind. In almost every way, the monster portrays himself as more human than Frankenstein, but of course, one must not put aside the fact that ultimately, Frankenstein is a human and the creature is not. Of course, for the creature to be more human than his creator, he must first have the typical human characteristics. He firstly shows physical human features. He is “eight feet in height” and his body parts are taken from dead bodies which his creator dug out from graves. His “limbs were in proportion” and his “hair was of lustrous black. He has also developed human emotions. Having been scared off by the villagers he began “feeling pain invade [him] on all sides, [he] sat down and wept”. This shows that his surroundings have an impact on how he feels and reacts, and to weep is...

...the play to be one of great familiarity to a situation that has been present in my life for almost five years now. In order to describe the situation with some anonymity, I’m going to refer to sibling of my parent as Shelly and use the term “parent” for gender inclusivity purposes. As a child growing up, I always referred to Shelly as my fun aunt. She always wore trendy clothes, had a young, pretty appearance, drove a cool car, and knew how to have fun. From my parent’s side of the family, stories of Shelly growing up always revolved around a theme of Shelly being the most spoiled out of six children. Shelly was the youngest of all of the girls. If Shelly wanted it, she would either get it automatically or throw a fit until she got it. During my teenage years there were many instances that arose where Shelly needed to borrow money from my parent. In one instance that I can recall vividly, Shelly’s car was being repossessed. She called my parent in tears and panicked claiming she needed almost one-thousand dollars right then or her car was going to be reposed. Of course, my parent sprang into action and paid the money in the midst of Shelly’s car being loaded on a flatbed trailer. Just like all of the times before, my parent never was repaid a dime from Shelly or even provided with a sincere gesture of gratitude I might add. About ten years ago,...

...Locker room time couldn’t come fast enough for Shelly. There were so many dicks down there just waiting to lift up for her greedy eyes. This would never get old. She had Miss Hartick with her again. She had hoped for Miss Devasquez though. Shelly was grateful to Miss Hartick. If it weren’t for her weird point of view, she would never have gotten to invade the boys’ locker room at all. As much as she appreciated the vice principal though, Shelly knew that Miss Devasquez was a better escort for her. Since Miss Devasquez knew and encouraged Shelly’s perversions, Shelly could actually do more with her. Miss Devasquez had seen Shelly grab more than one boy by the cock. What would Miss Hartick say if she saw that? Shelly knew that it would be a risk to try it, but she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she didn’t test it out. She knew how she would do it. She thought she had a legitimate way to get a hold of a boy’s piece. If she did that, then she could say that another feel was just too tempting. After all, they were only human, right? The moment they walked in to the locker room Shelly felt a delightful quiver. The first time she stepped into...

...Claudia Casale May 08, 2013 Romanticism Romanticism was a period of time where Authors were making a lot of references towards nature, emphasis of emotions and also of imagination and intuition. Mary Shelly and William Blake are two Authors that wrote during the romanticism period. Both authors address the romantic period in their writing. Both others uses nature as one of their themes throughout their writing. Mary Shelly uses the idea of romanticism in Frankenstein by putting escape of nature and high regards towards the weather. As an example weather which represent the feeling of the monster Tim, “When the sun had recovered its warmth, and the earth again began to look green … I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure… and I even raised my humid eyes with thankfulness towards the blessed sun which bestowed such joy upon me”(98). Mary Shelly used nature to describe feelings and emotions throughout the novel. As an example, after a dreadful winter of cold and rejections, Tim the monster feels his heart ease as spring arrives. Also, another writer during the romanticism was William Blake. Blake makes powerful emphasis on imagery throughout his poems, and might used few stanzas about nature. In the The Tyger he does not specify where the setting is but in line 2 he writes “In the forest of the night”. In his poem he writes about the Tyger which is the main focus of the poem. Since the Tyger is a wild creature, he might refer to nature and makes the setting a little...

...tea, water, and club soda. These liquids should have a different taste, color, odor, and purpose (O’Leary, Shelly, 91). Water molecules take up most of the room in the container (O’Leary, Shelly, 88). A solution is a mixture of a solute and solvent (O’Leary, Shelly, 88). During the experiment, keep a cup of plain liquid to compare (O’Leary, Shelly, 93). Nancy K O’Leary and Susan Shelly stated, “If you use mile or orange juice, for example, you won’t be able to watch salt and sugar dissolve,” (O’Leary, Shelly, 91). All liquids must be clear (O’Leary, Shelly, 92). Water is a solvent (O’Leary, Shelly, 90). BodnerResearchWeb.com stated, “Sugar dissolves in water because energy is given off when the slightly polar sucrose molecules form intermolecular dons with the polar water molecules.” (Bodner Research Web). The different temperatures are boiling (warm), cool, and room temperature. All of the liquids must be in the same temperature, or temperature will have to be used as a variable (O’Leary, Shelly, 91). All of the liquids have to be the same temperature for an accurate result (O’Leary, Shelly, 91). The solutes used are the two main ingredients, salt and sugar. Solutes are homogenous systems, such as salt and sugar (chem4kids.com). Sugar is a molecular solid (Bodner Research Web). Salt is a little smaller than sugar and is a crystal (O’Leary, Shelly,...

...employee. We had been having some friction with this employee and a supervisor. I had been trying my best to keep the employee happy as she is also my friend. My original intent was to ascertain what happened while I was away. Unfortunately, I let my emotions and the way I felt for this supervisor get in the way. Our conversation took place as follows. Richard: “While you were on vacation Shelly gave us her two-week notice.” Christy: “Wait!!! What??? Why did she do that what happen?” Richard:” She and Eugene had an exchanging of emails and she decided she did not need to put up with the extra stress he had been causing her.” Christy: “Should I try to talk to Shelly to see if there is anything I can do?” Richard: “No! We already spoke and she has decided this on her own.” Christy: “Ok”….. Later that day I could not understand what happen and why it had gone to that extreme. So against my better judgment I talked to Shelly on our lunch hour. Shelly: “So I am sure Richard spoke to you about what happen while you were gone?” Christy: “He said you gave a two-week notice?” Shelly: “Did he tell you why?” Christy: “No..” At that moment, I said no. I wanted to hear her side of the story. Her side was that her supervisor had told her he would be signing off on all her time off request. She did not like that as she had been giving them to me for quite some time. So she told him she would continue to submit them to me and if he had a problem with it to take it up with Richard...

...The novel “Frankenstein,” written by Mary Shelly, is a horror story that depicts what happens when one man's desire for scientific discovery and immortality goes horribly wrong, and ultimately what happens to society's outcasts. The novel is essentially responsible for the genre of science fiction, has seared a collective cultural imagination, and is now considered a legendary classic. While evaluating the novel, the reader will notice that the idea of gender is an underlying theme throughout the story. There is a broad structural duplication in the novel that correlates to this idea of gender which reaffirms this strong theme and how it affects the story’s outcomes. For example, according to Shelly, the time it took to complete the novel consisted of nine months, Walton’s journey lasts nine months, and Victor takes nine months (winter, spring, summer) to create the Creature. This, all of course equal to the time it takes to create human life; the length a woman is pregnant with a child. Although it may not appear to be important to the novel, Shelly makes sure that reproduction by implication becomes a central motif of the text, as we will discuss later. As the narrative is written from the perspective of three men, the women follow more of a romanticized, idealized figure as compared to the male characters present throughout the story. Shelly characterizes each woman as passive, disposable and serving a utilitarian function, while the men are portrayed at the ultimate being...

...monopolistic competition market. Monopolistic competition exists when multiple businesses are selling the same goods with very small differences (Ferrell, 2009). I will discuss the economic factors needed to operate this type of business and identify how each factor could give the business a competitive advantage. Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies Mrs. Shelly Acres love for cooking motivated her to start her own business called Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies. Mrs. Acres had taken her grandmother’s homemade pie recipe and turned it into a successful pie business. Mrs. Acres sells her pies to local supermarkets and select family restaurants for $4.50 each (Ferrell, 2009). During the first six months, Mrs. Acres produced 2000 pies each month. Her success comes from three productive part time employees who produced a quality product and whom are motivated by incentives as well as their vested interest of being a part of a successful new business (Ferrell, 2009). Supply and Demand for Homemade Pies Mrs. Acres Homemade pies have a $4.50 price point which created an overwhelming demand for the product.

...Explain and demonstrate the relationship between supply and demand for Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies. Shelly can supply 2000 pies each month for $4.5 each, netting $1.5 profit per pie with three part-time employees, however the demand is higher than what she can do, so eventually Shelly expanded her operations, borrowing money and increasing staff to four full-time employees. The production time increase to 8000 pies per month with profit soared to $12,000 per month. As per the chart showed within only six months the demands increased 4 times, and it promises to increase more in the next quarter. It brings challenges to Shelly to consider on these following three options: 1- Maintain current production levels and raise prices; 2- Expand the facility and staff while maintaining the current price; 3- Contract the production of the pies to a national restaurant chain, giving Shelly a percentage of profits with minimal involvement. Each options have particular challenge that She should consider seriously, the first option seam the best choice because it will help her to increase profit and do not cost more expense on employees or facility, however it will minimize her market segment, when the price raising only the high class can buy pie and other middle or lower class cannot then it will leading to supply over than the demand. Or another case when she increase the price then she cannot competitive with others. On the second option, It’s seem reasonable one because when...

...Ferrell, 2009) Shelly the owner of Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies is facing the risk of not being able to meet the demand for her homemade pies. The demand for her pies has gone from 8,000 pies a month to 12000 pies per month. According to the text Shelly has three choices: 1. Maintain current production levels and raise prices, 2. Expand the facility and staff while maintaining the current prices, or 3. Contract the production of the pies to a national restaurant chain, giving Shelly a percentage of profits with minimal involvement. (Ferrell, Hirt, & Ferrell, 2009) Let’s explore each of Shelly’s options. Option one: Maintain current production levels and raise prices. Per the law of supply and demand, the higher the price of the product the lower the demand for the product. Consumers naturally avoid buying products when the costs go up. Option two: Expand the facility and staff while maintaining the current prices. Option two is an ideal option for Shelly. Seeking a loan from a banking institution would allow Shelly to hire additional staff, while keeping the pie prices the same. By hiring additional staff she will be able to produce more pies and bring in more money. Option three: Contract the production of the pies to a national restaurant chain, giving Shelly a percentage of profits with minimal involvement. Depending on the percentage that Shelly will be able to take home; this may be the best option for her. This will eliminate all labor and supply cost for Shelly. When supply...

In our case supply is an amount of pies Shelly Acres’ company, Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies produces. In the first month of the business she sold 2000 pies.

The most of the time when company produces a high quality product in reasonable price, demand for this product will increase. This is happening to Shelly Acres’ business.

Therefore, Mrs. Acres’ decision to hire more employees is a right move. This will help to manage supply increase in short term. Having a high demand on produced product is a good sign to grow the business. If it is needed Shelly Acres has...
