...The Shrew And The Strength Katherine is a very complex character in Taming Of The Shrew and Ten Things I Hate About You. Kat knows exactly where she stands and is confident enough to open her mouth even when it can be little overbearing. Kat has a strong sense of self but can be blinded by love and I use the term “love” loosely in her taming of the shrew self because she isn’t really loved she is “loved’ because is tamed. In the movie though she is much harder to barge from the anchors the hold her to her rough demeanor but she keeps her anchors and incorporates Patrick into her personality instead of throwing it into the trash for a him. She is loved despite the fact she isn’t tamed. Let’s start at the very beginning of when we first meet Kat. A strong and independent women who stays true to herself and won’t let anything stumble in her path of feminism and strength “Why should I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own? -10 things” Kat proclaims. Though we can say she was strong and independent some may see that as snappy, rude and well the “B” word. “People...

...In 1593, William Shakespeare wrote “The Taming of the Shrew” and in 1999 “10 Things I Hate About You” made its debut in theaters as a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s play. Both works are comedies that deal with the theme of gender playing a part in character’s roles in society. The modern adaptation, directed by Gil Junger, sets the plot in a high school and adds more of a teenage romance twist on the story. Although “10 Things I Hate About You” may not follow the exact storyline of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”, there are many similarities between the two works including characters, dialogue, and theme (Andrews vi, IMDb). William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon to John and Mary Shakespeare. In 1582,...

...10 Things I Hate About You and the Pursuit of Happiness 10 Things I Hate About You is a Shakespearian parody that is based on his literary work, Taming the Shrew, but also pays homage to his other works as well. This film is a loose adaptation that uses modern day teenage problems and settings as well as modern day language in place of Shakespeare’s old world customs and a language that has long since been put to rest. While this film has many archetypical characters, concepts, themes and symbols, one thing sticks out the most and that is the concept of the pursuit of happiness. No matter what day in age we are in this is a concept that we as humans are always trying to obtain. The induction of this film surrounds around the character Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a new-comer that is being shown around by school by his new friend Michael, as he burns, pines and perishes over the sweet, sexy and much adored innocence that is Bianca Stratford (Larissa Oleynik). It is here that you learn that she is untouchable as her tyrannical father will not let her date. At this time, you are also introduced to a few key characters such as Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan), the egocentric king of the popular crowd and Katarina “Kat” Stratford (Julia Stiles), the polar opposite of her younger sister and plays an ill-tempered harridan with cutting wit that is hell bent to not be tempted by the idiocies of teenage life. It is here that the pursuit of happiness starts. Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)...

...5 Things You Didn’t Know About Working In A Restaurant We have all dined in a restaurant in some point in time. Whether it be McDonald’s, Burger King, or Wendy’s. Hell, some of us might have had the balls to go to Hell’s Kitchen! But here’s a few facts that I’ve been through that might make you reconsider restaurants… Five things you might not know about restaurants… 1. Managing a Restaurant takes up all of your time When you decide to manage a restaurant, it’s worse than having a newborn child. You see, just like a child, it eats, breathes, shits, and cause havoc in your life. And just like a newborn child, it requires your constant attention. And like said new life in this world, you are ultimately responsible. It’s your day off? Fuck you! Somebody failed to show up for an important shift. You have a catering order to go out? You have to be there for it. You watch and plan everyday for as long as you’re in charge. Corporate makes you hire a new manager? Now you’re fucked. Not only are you responsible for making sure that they learn all the systems and procedures, you HAVE to let them fail so they can learn, only to clean up their mess. And as a training manager, you have the added cost of their labor on your books. Thank you powers that be! Let me hold some idiots’ hand and walk them through how to be a retard on my dime. Don’t get me wrong, we all need to learn and grow, but corporate doesn’t have to babysit. Speaking of babysitting… 2. The staff can be your worst...

...My college education is very important to me and plays a critical role in goals I've set for my future. Like most other college students, I've got plans, hopes, and ideas for my college life and time I'm to spend attending school. Taking this course also plays a role in my college experience. While having children and being a single mother may have initially caused me to put off starting college, it's now my number one reason for attending school. In today's society, it's almost essential for one to have a college degree to have a successful career. It's very important for me to have a successful career because I want to be able to provide for my children as well as give them every possible advantage I can. I also hope that one day they will be able to say they're proud of me for working hard and getting my education and know that I did it for us, so that we could have a better life. Most college students set goals for what they hope their college experience will be and I'm no different. I've set goals to study hard and make good grades and know that I've done my best. I've also set goals for myself to make new friends and step out of my comfort zone and try new things. While I can't totally...

...a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to get to this point of my life and working even harder to get to the successful and graduate part of my life. I care more for some others than I do myself but I have a huge nonchalant attitude. I don’t really show anger or sadness much I always smile because I’m optimistic about life. I look at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can’t take it back so just move-on and improve what you did wrong if it’s possible. Strong is another trait I like to associate with myself because through all I have been through I made it and I’m still standing. I don’t let thing phase me very much because I’ve been through a lot so I’ve felt pain before and depression and all other worthless feelings so I have repressed that and won’t allow myself to feel it again. I am determined, strong-minded, outspoken, thoughtful, caring, and the most important, honest. Honesty is the most honorable trait to me because I feel being honest with someone can get you so much farther in life. My motivations in life is my background, I don’t want to go back to my past or where I’m from so I am determined to get away and I need a degree for that. Each of the perspectives play into my personality but the one that I would say really explains me is the Psychodynamic. Psychodynamic is where your inner conflicts or things that happen to you influence your behaviors. I’ve grown to be more secure;...

...that comedy is all about pleasure and merrymaking. How do you react to this idea in your study of Much Ado About Nothing? Much Ado About Nothing is heavily influenced by the inclusion of C.L. Barber’s viewpoint on comedy, that pleasure and merrymaking should be a focal point in festive comedy. Shakespeare utilizes witty mockery, satirical conversations and the Saturnalian reversal of roles to emphasize festivity and merrymaking as a main theme in his comedy as this ensures the audience can make fun and laugh at the situations displayed. But, as the audience we cannot forget that Shakespeare used this idea of pleasurable entertainment to disguise the underlying Machevellian plots of Don John and Borachio to disrupt the fairy tale type of tenor the characters could have led. Therefore, further into Much Ado About Nothing, discussions about whether Shakespeares play conforms to C.L. Barber’s argument or to what extent is C.L. Barber’s perspective disputed are risen. Initially, from reading the script of Much Ado About Nothing, the reader can respond to C.L. Barber’s argument with firm disagreement as many other genres are used to heighten the effect of comedy in the play, although C.L. Barber’s argument was specifically aimed at comedies, whilst Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is classed as a dramatic comedy, where tragedy is also hung in the balance in the climactic parts of the play. The purpose of Shakespeare’s plays in general and especially Much Ado About Nothing, is to expose...

...manners are important in today's society because it's a personality trait that's good to have. It's practically a necessity. Great manners help you through a lot of life's obstacles for different reasons. Consideration is a reason why manners are important which goes along with your maturity level and how polite you can be on a daily basis. It shows you're a decent person, and that you understand and have respect for the people around you. Manners are very important when it comes to a good social life, ever since elementary school we were taught to use our manners and be polite to the people we tal k to everyday. People judge you all the time, it's just a way of life, and having great manners brings off a positive response and attitude toward other people, and people will unconsciously think of you as a polite and caring person. Another reason that manners exist for a good reasons is, coexistence. Without polite people around, and well manners, coexistence between humans would be quite difficult I think. Manners are just the guidelines to peaceful coexistence between people, and without it, I think it would be a different kind of society to be living in, kind of like animals. Without manners it would be kind of difficult to have a social life, get a job, have any sort of relationship with people etc. Most of the time we don't think about using our manners everyday, but because it has such a big impact on our life's, and we've been taught since we were young to have manners, we...

..."Ethics in Organizational Behavior" Please respond to the following: The decision to terminate an employee requires more information than what is given. The overall culture of the attitude towards the employee, how they interact, fit in, encourage or discourage their co-workers, and the overall dynamic of their presence in the organization. By keeping the more motivated employees, that usually is comprised of the younger generation of the employee pool • Considering I have to answer the question I will provide explanations for both being “let go.” If the company is looking to keep young energetic employees, and might be planning on moving into a new office style in the future they have to let go of Mary. If the company is not planning on changing their office style they have to let go Sarah. Keep in mind they both have strong attributes to bring to the table. Sarah is trying to prove herself by stepping up to volunteer her services, but she is young and may find something more appealing to her and leave anyway. Maybe Sarah finds a job in San Diego she is young and energetic, she may move away. Then the company is finding itself having to rehire. Mary will be there for the long haul, she has family very steady employee at mid-40s. So like I said in first paragraph, I would need more information in order to make a decision. •From the scenario, determine the level of emphasis that organizations should place on ensuring that layoff decisions are ethical and legal...
