...When he attempted to conveying the content about the trailer of the movie ‘downsizing’ (E) I (M2) applied a different context and understood the trailer to mean something else (SE 1). Describing the interaction in this way it becomes evident that the point where the miscommunication happened is when it came to my perception of the statement – the lower horizontal arm leading up to SE 1. What Nelson saw in E as E1 was communicated till the point of SE. In this scenario since the channel used is directly from the source there is no influence on the content from an external channel. In a situation where there is an external source a discussion on the representation concept would be necessary. Based on the influence of my perceptions the event became SE...

...Patricia McFarland Michelle Smith ART 101 13 October 2012 Themes of Art Critical Essay In ‘The Turkish Bath’ painted by Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, is a glimpse into what the western world believes a harem to look like. The painter never actually visited a Turkish bath, and his painting is purely conjecture. With that stated, one definition of a harem is a sphere of women. The painter chose to use circular lines in almost every point in this painting. He created circles within circles, with the round bodies and rounded faces, and rounded trim on the alcoves and furnishings. All of the bodies are very curvy, voluptuous, sensual, and soft. Most of the concubines have rounded eyes, with very curved faces and bodies. Even the breasts and nipples are circles within circles, as are the stomachs and navels. The entire room seems to be a circle and the view that we have is as though through a key hole or hole in the wall. All of the five senses are represented in this piece, touch, smell, sight, taste and sound. They are represented so that each sense is saturated and the power of the sultan is quite obvious. There is truly a celebration of all five senses in this painting. Touch seems to be the most obvious. Many of the women are touching in some fashion, from merely lying next to each other, to fondling of another woman’s breast. The touching seems to be quite accepted and relaxed, indicating there are no inhibitions connected to touching. There is touching...

...PRE-TEST: 1. Read “The Importance of Rites,” from Myths to Live By, by Joseph Campbell. 2. Evaluate this brief essay in terms of internal criteria by judging whether, or to what extent it is coherent. Specify in detail why you think it is either coherent or incoherent. In the essay, “The Importance of Rites,” Myths to Live By, by Joseph Campbell is a moderately incoherent. A coherent communication should be very clear, and each paragraph should follow through on the main topic, but this essay does not. The author strays from his topic statement where he states his opinion that the function of ritual is to give form to human life, not in the way of what is on the surface, but what lies inside. The author further explains that in ancient times, social occasions were eminently organized and the inner makings were of a religious tone. Campbell further compares those times with the present and states that what is within us is of the utmost importance. The author shares this information in the first paragraph of this essay. Unfortunately, as we continue to read this communication, it is evident that there is little consistency or coherency in in the remaining paragraphs starting with the second paragraph where the author states comparisons of different animal species, with no recollection of his original point. The paragraphs that follow, skips back and forth between structures of rituals, human behaviors, religious beliefs, and other non-essential topics with no relative...

...than I thought it would be, I barely got through one. Reading is a fun experience but a really hard one to focus on. The first book was an alright read. It was a great book that had a lot of twists and had an interesting, thick plot. The next book would have been a great read, but I shot too high and came back with very little results. When I broke my arm I missed 5 days of school or approximately an hour of reading and I had too much homework to catch up. Since I only read the first book my entire essay will solely be based on how I felt when I read this book. The kind of books that I enjoy reading are the ones that have thick plots and twists, I really loved the dynamics of the characters in this book. The way that the story blended a subject like crime into a setting that it's not normally seen. I thought that the most intense part of the story was the gambling and the planning it put an image in my head of a kid...

...Narrative Essay The Circus by Matkurbanova Gulzat It was a long time ago, when my children were still young. I took them to the city zoo because I wanted them to see real animals. I noticed that animals were behaving strange. Some were just laying there and doing nothing. Others were just moving their heads or walking in a circle. They rushed to any place where children feed them. There I saw a little-sad tiger. I felt very sorry for it, because the cub will never know freedom and life in the forest. Then I disliked the zoo. A year later I brought my daughters to the circus. As we entered the building, I could smell sharp and unpleasant odor which made me sick. Since we came early, my daughters started playing with other children in the lobby where there were a lot of attractions for children. "Mom, animals will act in the arena?," Umida, my elder daughter asked with glowing eyes. "Of course," I said. Both my girls were very happy. "Mom,How are you feeling?" asked Umida. "Absolutely awful," I stammered. Shoira, my younger daughter, looked up at the two of us from under her eyelashes and patted my arm. "Sweetie, give me a hug, please, " I asked her. She shook her head and hugged me. "Good, now I feel much better," I said. In the arena, there were clowns, jugglers and acrobats. But a special delight in children were caused by performance of animals. We saw beautiful animals that played ball, spinning the hoops and performing complex tricks. Of course, back then I...

...me to be free and write down how I feel. Sometimes it’s hard to express the feelings I get and how to incorporate them into words for others to comprehend, but I guess that’s the reason. To have others approach your feelings and figure out the emotions they capture through your piece of literature. Now, the part I dislike about writing is having to follow structure and regulations. I do understand why there are building blocks to literacy writing, I just don’t feel you get to allow yourself to come out of your shell as much. For example, me, I am writing this essay allowing myself to express what I feel and about my writing history, but it’s going by some guidelines of the class. The font, margins, and the minimum length of the essay are just the beginning of them. In high school I remember we had to write about how we felt about a book that was assigned in class, but we had to have a thesis statement, a full-circle ending, and it had to be 3 pages long. I did enjoy reading the book, the analysis behind the words and writing what we got out of the book. It was the structural part of the assignment I didn’t enjoy. I do love to write, seeing my words come out onto paper comes naturally to me, even though I had a hard time at the beginning of my writing when I started grade school. My parents placed me in school at age four, when I started first grade I had trouble understanding the teachers because they spoke in a different language. Since I was...

...Past Papers, Marks Scheme indicative content and examiners Report comments June 2010 A) How far did ‘peaceful coexistence’ ease Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union and the USA in the years 1953–61? Mark Scheme: Candidates should have knowledge about the main features of ‘peaceful coexistence’ in the period 1953-61. Developments which helped to ease Cold War tensions might include: the end of the Korean War (1953); Soviet settlement of border disputes with Turkey and Iran (1953) and recognition of Israel (1953); Austrian independence and improved Soviet-Yugoslav relations (1955); the ‘Geneva spirit’ based on east-west summit diplomacy and Khrushchev’s visit to the USA in 1959. Developments which sustained Cold War tensions during the period might include: US attitudes towards communism in the 1950s (domino theory, ‘roll back’, Eisenhower doctrine); Soviet concept of peaceful coexistence based on long-term victory of communism; the impact of the Hungarian Rising (1956) and the launch of Sputnik (1957); the U2 spy plane incident (1960) and the issue of Germany (1958-1961). At Levels 1 and 2 simple or more developed statements will provide either only simple or more developed statements about peaceful coexistence with either only implicit reference to the extent tensions were eased or argument based on insufficient evidence.

...Essay 3, written by Emily Greentree DRAFT The main character in Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood, a comic book written and illustrated by Marjane Satrapi, is Marjane while she was growing up with her family during the Islamic Revolution. She is an educated young girl and is raised by a family who fights for freedom in the revolution. Her father, Ebi Satrapi, and her mother, Taji Satrapi, are protecting their daughter while also protecting human rights to defend their culture and land. Iraq bombs are dropping in their lands of Iran and Iran troops are fighting to defend. Her family has friends who are communists and her uncle was in prison for 9 years because he was communist too. Marji reflects on the events around her and shares with the reader about the difficulties of the war and growing up with a regime changing culture. The school demonstrations become violent and she has more reasons to not to be living in Iran any longer. Her parents decide she should live in Austria. The panel on bottom page 146 has Marjane lying in bed. The frame of the panel is a rectangle that stretches from the entire left side of the page to the right side of the page.

...Are You Listening to Me? Jennifer Ailey English 1 November 4th 2008 Ailey 1 In Deborah Tannen’s Book “You Just Don’t Understand” she discusses the many differences and problems men and women have with getting their point across in conversations to each other. In this essay I’ve chosen three aspects that she mentions in the book that I will discuss in detail. The first difference I want to point out is the concept of framing or symbolic gestures thought chivalrous, which is really allowing the one performing them the control. Asking for information is another major difference between men and women. Whereas women see it as a means to an end men see it as a sign of inferior knowledge and position. The final point I will be going over is problem solving, something men and women are rarely eye-to-eye on. Men will not give up until they can figure something out, whereas women know when to concede. When it comes to performing symbolic or chivalrous actions women hardly think into the real meaning behind the action. For a woman to take an offered open door she may think herself being treated to what is considered chivalrous, whereas in reality she’s allowing the man the power to allow her passage and she therefore takes a subordinate position to him. Though to some women taking the offered open door is a sign of weakness and lack of independence in not being able to open a door on her own. By...
