...Faulkner’s Creative Use of Time in A Rose for Emily William Faulkner must have not believed in writing in chronological order when he portrayed the events in A Rose for Emily, and in good reason. The story begins at, if written in chronological order, what would be right before the end. He then continues the story jumping backwards and moving forwards. A key part is skipped in the retelling of Miss Emily Grierson’s life, which is told at the end of the storyline, and it is perhaps the most interesting part of the story. The story starts off at Miss Emily Geirson’s funeral. Emily is the main character in the story, and Faulkner has her dead in the first sentence. It should be noted that neither Faulkner, nor Emily are the narrator for the story, and instead the narrator is the viewpoint of the general townspeople that knew, or thought they knew, Emily Grierson. Faulkner then has the narrator explain Emily’s house, which plays a mysterious role in the story. It was said for the women that attended her funeral, “mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house.” (Faulkner 91) The story then goes on to tell the origin of Miss Emily’s tax evasion, a settlement she got away with, until the newer generation of mayors and aldermen came in to power. It goes on to tell the time before her death where a deputation from the Board of Alderman visited Emily to settle the dispute of the taxes. When Emily answered the door, it gives an external glimpse of Emily’s life at the time. The story...

...years, time has slowly taken over our lives. It eats away at our relationships and the work we do. Clocks, our way of measuring time, are why society has gone from leisurely to mechanical and rushed. They started as a way to count days and will soon be internalized. In ancient Babylon over 6 thousand years ago the sundial was used to track time. This was the first civilization to let time rule over them. From there Greece developed the first mechanical clock powered by water. Hamilton introduced the modern electric watch in 1957. As a major theme in Cast Away, time decides the decisions people make. Zemechis shows time in three different ways. Batina introduces timelessness. Technology and Chuck represent digital time. Biological time is shown through Kelly and the island. Batina represents the timeless world in Cast Away. When Zemechis introduces Batina she is a spark between two wings. This gives her a spiritual, angelic, or timeless character. There are also no clocks on the farm. This shows that Batina doesn’t let time rule over her. She enjoys her work and gets lost in the art she creates that will last forever. Batina only physically appears at the start and end of the film, but her symbol, the wings with three circles, is constantly there. When we see her four years later, she hasn’t changed. The world around her has gone...

Wells’ The Time Machine became a classic taking his readers on a futuristic journey that inspired science fiction novelists and books for years to come. In The Time Machine, H.G. Wells uses social commentary to describe how life could evolve. Social commentary is a spoken or written act of rebellion toward an individual or group; commentary on social issues or society. The Time Machine uses allegory as a mechanism for...

...different times of the day. Electricity cannot be stored. It must be generated and supplied to each customer as it is called for instantly, day or night, in extremely variable quantities. In virtually all power systems, electricity is produced by generators that are dispatched in merit order, i.e., generators with the lowest marginal cost (lowest variable cost of production) are used first, followed by the next cheapest, etc., until the instantaneous electricity demand is satisfied. In order for the electrical system to be prepared to meet peak demand (typically, peak demand occurs in the late afternoon when people come back home from their jobs) it is necessary to keep a vast array of expensive equipment - transformers, wires, substations, and generation stations - on constant standby. The amount and size of this equipment must be large enough to be able to meet consumption at the highest peak demand period. Otherwise, if total demand exceeds total production at some moment in time, there will occur severe instabilities such as voltage drops or even generalized blackouts. Therefore, if a country could shift part of its electricity usage away from peak periods to other periods of the day (that is, if consumers could smooth their consumption pattern throughout the 24 hours of a day) it would be possible to attain major savings in installed generating capacity and therefore to lower the overall costs of electricity. To achieve this, several countries have implemented "time-of-use" pricing...

...philosophers like William James and Henri Bergson came up with theories, which opposed the idea of time as an objective reality. According to them, time is never objective because it always depends on private experience of an individual. They claimed that time, like human consciousness, cannot be seen as linear, moving from one moment to the next, because time in human mind changes constatntly. It moves without any logic or reason from present to past and future. Simply, in our mind past, present and future can be experienced at the same moment. In his theory of duration, Henri Bergson explains that there are two times: private, or internal time, which is the real authentic time, and standard, public or clock time, which is, in fact, a mere social, artificial construct.[1] Modernist writers, such as James Joyce or Virginia Woolf were fascinated by the theories of time, which influenced greatly their works. In Mrs Dalloway, (1925), which may be considered 'the first important work of the literary period initiated by Ulysses'[2], Woolf is concerned with both, public and private time. In Mrs Dalloway, the public, or the clock time, is represented by the striking of Big Ben, the symbol of England and the precise time. The striking of the hours is repeated throughout the novel as a reminder of time, which restricts the lives of the characters, reminding them constantly of the time and their life passing, of their mortality. Clarsissa Dalloway and Peter Walsh are in their middle...

...“Instructional Strategies Including Effective use of Time” Chelah Clory 4/20/2014 ECEL/ Fraser I construct lessons to fit the needs of each child individually by first assessing what the child knows and what level the child is on. This is implemented in the beginning of the year when children are assessed using a test called the ESI-R. The test consist of the basics a child who is between the age of three and four years of age. One part of the test consists of children repeating what the teacher says. For example, the teacher will say 123 and the child has to repeat 123. Another part of the test is the use of basic fine motor. The child has to stack six blocks like a tower without them falling. There is about four parts to the test. If a child isn’t ready they receive a second chance a little later during the school year. If they fail twice, then the teacher has to fill out a form and is then sent to the board of education to determine if the child needs to be referred. After a couple of months of school as the children play in their centers I go around asking them basic questions in reference to what their doing. For example if a child is already counting from one to ten, then if the child is playing with blocks I’ll say “wow how many blocks do you have and the child will be encouraged to count and I may add more to see if the child can count pass ten and eventually to twenty. If there’s a specific child who’s not yet counting then I find creative ways to increase...

...Article 5 A Pattern-Oriented Approach to Fair Use Michael J. Madison Repository Citation Michael J. Madison, A Pattern-Oriented Approach to Fair Use, 45 Wm. & Mary L. Rev. 1525 (2004), http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr/vol45/iss4/5 Copyright c 2004 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr A PATTERN-ORIENTED APPROACH TO FAIR USE MICHAEL J. MADISON* ABSTRACT More than 150 years into development of the doctrineof "fairuse" in American copyright law, there is no end to legislative,judicial, and academic efforts to rationalizethe doctrine. Its codification in the 1976 CopyrightAct appearsto have contributedto its fragmentation, rather than to its coherence. As did much of copyright law, fair use originated as a judicially unacknowledged effort via the law to validate certain favored practicesand patterns.In the main, it has continued to be applied as such, though too often courts mask their implicit validation of these patterns in the now-conventional "caseby-case" application of the statutoryfair use "factors"to the defendant's use of the copyrighted work in question. A more explicit acknowledgment of the role of these patterns in fair use analysis would be consistent with fair use, copyright policy, and tradition. Importantly, such an acknowledgment would help to bridge the often difficult conceptual gap between fair use claims asserted by individual defendants and the...

...COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. Copyright infringement is the use of work under copyright, infringing the copyright holder's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works, without permission from the copyright holder, which is typically a publisher or other business representing or assigned by the work's creator. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OCCURS WHEN THE COPYRIGHT OWNER'S RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED To fully understand copyright infringement, you must understand what rights you hold as a copyright holder. You own more than just the rights to reproduce the work filed with the US Copyright Office. An owner of a copyright owns a “bundle” of rights. Each of these rights can be sold or assigned separately. Copyright infringement occurs when one of those rights are used without the express consent of the copyright owner. The rights owned by the owner of a copyright include: The Right to Reproduce the Work. This is the right to reproduce, copy, duplicate or transcribe the work in any fixed form. Copyright infringement would occur if someone other than the copyright owner made a copy of the work and resold it. The Right to Derivative Works. This is the right to modify the work to create a new work. A new work that is based upon an existing work is a "derivative work." Copyright infringement would occur here if someone wrote a screenplay based on his favorite John Grisham book and sold or distributed the screenplay...

...interactive digitized media – and the rights inherent in use and fair use – is one of broad confusion. All such media includes: visual, textual, and / or audio elements; digital storage; and an aspect of interactivity by the end user and delivers in such forms as “…computer games, interactive websites, DVDs and mobile telephones through ‘infotainment’ products … compendiums of film reviews … still photographs and theme songs, to educational products such as interactive encyclopedias” (114). With such a vast array of multimedia products and their producer’s intent to multi-purpose each venue for optimal revenue, legal issues loom ever larger over intellectual property (IP) rights and copyrighted material ownership. Peach discusses several legal matters affecting the production of multimedia use, including ethics considerations and blatant unauthorized usage. Anytime a multimedia producer incorporates unauthorized material into a production or product, copyright infringement almost always results. The author ascribes such infringements to ignorance – many by thinking that “…because it is technologically possible… it must be legal” or the blatant choice to ignore copyright processes and requirements (115). Peach warns that technological marvels are no excuse for such violation; legal remedies exist for such infringements and are often sought to protect the ownership rights to such materials. During the process of obtaining fair use permissions or clearances, responsibility rests on...

...priorities around preventing unauthorized copying at any expense, threatening trade sanctions and worse for the recalcitrant." However, the copyright laws in many developing countries still give little consideration to copyright management issues for Digital Media Fields, such as software, E-book, music downloads, and digital cinema. As the biggest sources of illegal download in the world, developing countries’ digital media technology is seriously hindered. At the same time, some people argued that the tolerant digital media copyright law helps to bring culture and knowledge to people. I believe it is a mistake, as they may not understand Fair Use. In the case of China, according to Liu & Bates, “China copyright law focuses more on the regulations for traditional forms of creative content than the digital fields” (Liu & Bates, 2008). However, according to China Internet Network Information Center’s report, “the number of “netizens” in China has exceeded that of the United States” (2008). At the same time, China has become one of the biggest illegal downloads sources. As a result, China has responsibility to pay attention to digital rights management. A strong reason supporting the statement is that protecting digital copyright helps a lot to encourage creativity and the development of digital technology. For example, Apple, a representative of the creative company, has sued many companies, such as Franklin, for infringing on its copyright. The fair protection for its copyright...

...Meredith Butler English 1102 Fiction Essay In the story Everyday Use by Alice Walker, the author attempts to show the contrasts between family members in regards to their heritage during the 1960’s. Ms. Walker tells the story of how different the family members are in education, lifestyle and beliefs. In doing so, she illustrates the importance of everyday items and of everyday people. Ms. Walker, through the point of view of the mother, paints the picture of a young woman, too good for her family, running off to the city only to find that the city values her heritage and conversely, now must she. The character of Dee is first described by her mother in the excerpt, “Dee is lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair and a fuller figure” (Walker, 1973). This is in contrast to her “large, manly mother who can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man” (Walker) and her sister who was disfigured in a fire as a young child. The same fire that Dee stands and watches, so intently, that her mother thought to ask her “why she didn’t do a dance around the ashes” (Walker). It is never stated why Dee feels such deep hatred for her home, however shame and ignorance play a key role. “Dee wanted nice things” (Walker), things that would be difficult if not impossible to a young black girl of the time to obtain. Her mother often notes that Dee daydreams to the point of not blinking, determined to get what she wants. When Dee’s mother and the town raise money to send Dee off to school...

...A fuzzy logic approach to urban land-use mapping Henning Sten Hansen National Environmental Research Institute, Ministry of Environment & Energy Frederiksborgvej 399, DK-4000, Roskilde, Denmark Phone : +45 46 30 18 07 Fax : +45 46 30 12 12 HSH@DMU.DK Abstract. The growth of cities represents huge problems for modern societies. Monitoring, analysing and modelling the urban dynamic call for detailed mapping of urban land-use. Traditionally, urban land-use mapping is based on orthophotos and satellite images, but deriving land-use from remote-sensing alone is not satisfactory. The Danish Building & Dwelling Register is a database containing detailed information like year of construction, use, area etc. Therefore, this database provides a useful foundation for urban land-use mapping. To be able to track urban land-use changes over time, we have chosen square cells (100m x 100m) as basic mapping units. Generally, land cover and land-use mapping are based on crisp classification, but in the current project we have applied a fuzzy modeling approach to land-use mapping. Fuzzy classification offers a better choice in urban land-use mapping, because it can indicate the primary, secondary etc. land-use simultaneously. This will offer more meaningful information for planners and a more detailed understanding of the land-use patterns. Based on these principles, a nation wide urban land-use database for the year 1997 is established. 1 Introduction Metropolitan areas all over the...
