...Student earning L Centre What is a referencing system? (Author-Date System) HARVARD REFERENCING There are many variations of the Harvard referencing style. This leaflet is based on the AGPS Style Manual (6th edn), 2002. It is advisable to check with each lecturer as to which variation they require you to use and to follow that advice for the work submitted to that lecturer. A referencing system is a standardised way of informing readers of the sources of information, ideas, graphics etc. that are used in any given work, e.g. your assignment. There are a number of different referencing systems, but those most commonly used at Flinders University are: • Harvard (an author-date system) • APA (American Psychological Association, also an author-date system) • The Note system (including footnotes and endnotes). Author-date systems use the authors’ surnames and the year of publication within the text of a work to refer to a detailed list of full references at the end of the work. The Note system uses numbers within the text to refer to details either at the bottom of the page (footnotes) or at the end of the work (endnotes). See the Student Learning Centre (SLC) brochures on the APA and Note systems for details on these systems. Referencing and academic integrity The use of a referencing system to acknowledge other people’s work, ideas and expression is integral to academic writing and academic integrity. See SLC leaflets on Academic Integrity or the 'Academic Integrity...

...Table 1 Performance analysis of EPM for the past 3 years from 2006 to 2008 Table 2 Percentage of increase/decrease in the account balances Table 3 Increase of price of feed and production cost In late 2008, the operating cash was running low because of the problems in cash liquidity. From the abstract of account above, we found that the cost of sales was increasing from 2006 to 2008 and it is too close to the revenue amount. However, in 2007, the cost of sales increased while the revenue did not increase much and operating loss was recorded in 2008 as the retail price of chicken was increased from RM 3.22 to RM 5.04 per kilo from 2006 to 2008. Thus, the increment of revenue in 2008 by 36.16% was almost same with the increment in cost, 36.95% in that year. On the other hand, in 2008, the cost of feeding was increased by RM 33.50 from RM 54.50 to RM 88.00 per bag which is an increased of almost 61.5%. Hence, the production cost was also increase from RM 3.22 to RM 5.04 per kilo from 2006 to 2008 by RM 1.82 which is 56.5%. In short, the exorbitant cost of chicken feed resulting the operating loss faced by the company.

...relationships of Amir, a wealthy young Pashtun boy in Afghanistan in the 1970’s. The story narrates the hardship of living in a socially divided, culture based environment with various sides of humanity. As the novel progresses, the relationship between Amir and his father, Baba, goes through multiple pivotal phases. These phases are the direct cause of the switch between the two main settings of Kabul, Afghanistan and Fremont, California. The change in setting helps portray the rollercoaster of Amir and Baba’s relationship over many years. It illustrates the story of Amir’s longing to be noticed and loved by Baba, Baba’s dissatisfaction with Amir, and their inability to relate to one another....

...The main problem between Baba and Amir isn’t exactly clear and throughout the entire book information is given that can be interpreted in many ways. Right at the start Amir’s mother died because of his birth and Baba and Amir’s mother were really close which could be the start of everything, that could be why Baba doesn’t like Amir as he should. Another wrench in the whole reasoning though, is that throughout the book there are parts where it seems like Baba loves Hassan more than he loves Amir “It wasn’t fair. Hassan hadn’t done anything to earn Baba’s affections; He’d just been born with that stupid harelip.” (46) Later on the fact that Hassan is the child of Baba and Sanaubar, Hassan’s mother and Ali’s ex wife, surfaces which adds a whole new element of disgust towards Baba and Rahim Khan since Rahim knew about. This also explains why Baba loved Hassan because Baba was Hassan’s genetic...

...Explore the relationship between Amir and Baba. Throughout the novel The Kite Runner, the relationship between Amir and Baba has many ups and downs, the reader sees it broaden as Amir grows older and it is clear that deep down their relationship is strong. Amir tells the reader during his dream that he ‘can never tell Baba from the bear.’ This gives the impression that Baba is strong and rugged in appearance. It is important that the reader knows that Baba is the narrator’s father; due to the unconditional love we expect between father and son, Amir’s opinion may well be biased. Indirectly, the reader can make an opinion on Baba, and his relationship with Amir, through his speech and actions as described by Amir. The reader is told that ‘Baba heaved a sigh of impatience.’ This shows that Baba, unlike most fatherly figures has very little patience with Amir and even the smallest things that Amir does seems to get on his nerves. Hosseini suggests that Amir is some what intimidated by Baba from the quotation ‘My father was a force of nature, a towering Pashtun specimen with a thick beard, a wayward crop of curly brown hair as unruly as the man himself,’ The metaphor ‘My father was a force of nature’ suggests an essence of fear; the character of Baba is not to be reckoned with. The reader is presented with imagery of a storm at sea or a hurricane as Rahim Khan Nicknames Baba. This could suggest an element of incomparable strength, recklessness and perhaps the tendency of storms...

...With this quote, Amir reveals his character development, his acceptance of everything that has happened and his freedom after twenty-six years of guilt, as he embraces one of Hosseini’s main messages in The Kite Runner. For most of his life, Amir was incredibly guilty about what happened to Hassan, and before that, he was jealous of Hassan’s attention from Baba. Now, finally, Amir can just remember his amazing, loyal friend, and all the good times they had together. He reveals this when he says Hassan’s old saying, “for you, a thousand times over.” Those words used to bring Amir to tears, but now that he has accepted everything-- Hassan’s rape, Baba’s sins, Hassan’s death, and what happened to Sohrab-- Amir can use them to remember his dear...

...As I read pages 88-91, I realized that no matter the harm or hurt that Amir has caused Hassan, He would always be loyal. Between these pages, Amir waited for Ali and Hassan to leave for the market so he can put the wrist watch and money Baba had given him for his birthday present under Hassan’s mattress. When Baba had asked Hassan if he had stolen the wrist watch, surprisingly, Hassan had said ‘Yes’. At that moment, Amir realizes Hassan had known about him being in the alley during his rape. He also knew Amir had set him up. Baba forgives him but, Ali said they had to leave. Baba cried and pleaded for them to stay but Ali had made his mind. It was raining while they left meanwhile, Amir stood by the window watching. This helped me appreciate...

...Since Amir is a Pashtun, he has power above other social groups, including Hassan who is a Hazara. Amir has the ability to discriminate or mistreat Hazara’s without being judged or mistreated back. Before Amir can be as strong and as powerful as his father, he isn’t able to realize that in order to have the qualities that Baba is known for, he must treat others fairly like the example his father gives him. When Hassan got rapped, Amir had the power to fix things, but instead was furtive with his power. If only he had told someone, if would have saved him some of the grief and suffering that he now feels. Hassan on the other hand doesn’t have much power. Although he stands up for what is right, he gets punished for his actions. Because Hassan...

...Explore the relationship between Amir and his father using chapters 1-6. Chapter one is a very short chapter. In said chapter, the detail of the relationship between Amir and Baba is barely touched upon. As Amir talks of him, and the other names he lists as if he has not heard from Baba, or anyone else, for a long time. It instantly suggests that an event must have happened to cause such separation. Amir lists Hassan first, and Baba just after. Due to the novel being in present day at this point, Hassan holds more importance to Amir as he was the first name that was mentioned. The second chapter starts to highlight the unhealthy father/son relationship between Baba and Amir. Amir looks up to Baba highly and brags about him and longs for his company. Baba, however, is always busy with work or engaging in ‘grown up time’, which is drinking and smoking. Although it is common to distance yourself from loved ones after your wife died during childbirth, distancing himself this much and for this long is highly irregular. Amir looks up to Baba and there for has a positive Father complex during this time. We also discover that Baba set up the brotherly relationship between Amir and Hassan by hiring the same nursing woman he had for Amir, for Hassan. -------------------------------------------- [ 1 ]. The first stage of bereavement begins at the moment of death, and continues for the next several weeks or months. [ 2 ]. The father complex can influence the way people think about...
