...John Swenson English 11 1st Hour Comparison/Contrast Essay In this essay of comparison and contrast there will be comparisons and contrasts- or in other words similarities and differences- in Jack London’s “To Build A Fire” and Richard Connell’s, “The Most Dangerous Game”. The comparisons will be constructed of the settings, characters, and conflict. First topic to be compared is conflict. The two stories share two conflicts, a struggle for survival. In Jack London’s “To Build A Fire” the main character, not named, thinks in his head, “Without doubt he would lose some fingers and toes and some of his face…” (London 703). In the same manner, the main character, named Rainsford, kills a dog and the “bad guy” says to him “… I’ll see what you can do against my whole pack” (Connell 28). However, the two stories differ in what they struggle against. In “To Build A Fire” the conflict is person versus nature. For example the guy builds a fire and from the spruce tree falls some snow and puts out the fire; to quote “He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree” (London 700). Meanwhile, in “The Most Dangerous Game” the conflict is person versus person which is Rainsford being hunted down by General Zaroff-the “bad guy”- in the middle of a baron island. To quote from General Zaroff “Your strength and stamina against mine” (Connell 24). Secondly, literary item number two is setting. In both stories the setting is set in isolated places. Like in “To Build A Fire” its...

...The world today has faced many trials and tribulations. It is quite similar to the two short stories ‘Young Goodman Brown” and “The Lottery.” In these stories, characters are faced with situations beyond their own imagination and to makes things worse is how they are tested. They will encounter people and other things that are unjust. These stories bring a lot of comparisons such as the setting of the stories, but mostly there are contrasts such as the symbolism within the stories and the meaning each author put behind their stories. In comparing the two short stories “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Lottery,” it is easily noticed that both of these stories takes place well within the community setting. Each story has the involvement of the people who lives within the town. Details in the story showcase how the communities makes the characters feel accepted one way or another to a certain extinct. Within these communities, each has their own traditions, laws, and perimeters that justify the reasoning behind what they do. In turn it kind of makes these communities have a sense of uniqueness to them and that is why individuals are pulled in and want to be part of these communities. In addition, both of these stories showcase a sense of a happy ambience and exuberance. In “The Lottery,” the author, Shirley Jackson illustrates a perfect day by stating “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with a fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely...

...self-perceptions and how he or she interacts in the social world is a significant factor in self-concept. Self-schemas are a significant element of self-concept, which are specific beliefs, mental temples, one uses to define him or herself, and organize his or her world. (Myers, 2010). Self schemas enable people to vision themselves in the future, their possible selves. It helps one to vision what he or she wants such as rich, thin, or successful. Such possible selves are beneficial, for it motivates individuals who want a successful future. The self-concept helps organize thinking and guide social behavior. Social experiences are also exceptionally influential in one’s development of self-concept such as the roles an individual play, social comparisons, success, and failure, and what others think have much to do with one’s development and how he or...

...One reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest can relate to the pressure of society's oppressive rules in many ways. Kesey's usage of metaphors relating people to machines and the hospital to a factory leaves a relatable factor to models in the world, setting a standard for people being perfect. Kesey's usage of imagery helps the readers realize that they are too blinded to see what is going on, and need to look through the fog to see the truth. Finally, Kesey's usage of setting taking place just after World War II helps the reader realize that in the book, the Nurse is striving for everyone to be perfect in her image, hoping that everyone realizes that society is doing this to them, wanting to look a certain way to be perfect. Striving for perfection is something society dictates we all do, but at what cost? One cannot expect to be an individual if everyone decides to follow the same path to supposed perfection, and losing your individuality is not worth someone else’s definition of...

...Selection--The subjects in comparison groups should be functionally equivalent at the beginning of a study. Experimental Mortality--Subjects drop out of studies. If one comparison group experiences a higher level of subject withdrawal/mortality than other groups, then observed differences between groups become questionable. Selection Interactions--In some studies the selection method interacts with one or more of the other threats, biasing the study's results.These variables can be controlled to limit their effect on the experimental conditions.Therefore, is not relevant in observation or descriptive studies that are merely report findings.When internal validity is associated with experimental research it refers to how well the study was run ,and how confidently one can conclude that the change in the dependent variable was produced only by the...

...relationship gives us understanding to how prejudices and racism are acted upon. I am going to compare Rosie Purves and Elvis Malcolm’s experiences of racism at work and discuss how racism can be avoided in the care work. A comparison between Rosie and Elvis was that Rosie didn’t have the support from management that Elvis had. Rosie was under racist actions due to the colour of her skin. The consultant went along with the mother’s request to move her child away from Rosie’s care. This was due to the mother not wanting anyone who was black looking after her child. By the consultant not challenging the mother made it look like he was agreeing with her actions and saying that racism was ok. ‘Nobody at the hospital apologised. The priority was the child, according to the consultant. The team was saying, “We don’t see you as being black” but they were still prepared to move the child’. (Purves, 2010, p 23) By the consultant going a long with the mother’s request caused the hospital to be institutionally discriminative. One of the reasons why the NHS trust was guilty of showing racial discrimination was due to there being no recognition of racism and ‘no policy setting out what action should be taken to address it’. (K101, Unit 11, p159) However in comparison with Rosie, Elvis felt he had full support from his manager. This is due to Somebody Cares having an equal opportunities...

...The Age Old Debate: ADN vs BSN, a comparison Seth Ronning Grand Canyon University Professional Dynamics Kimberly Hammerton September 4, 2013 The Age Old Debate: ADN vs BSN, a comparison In battles of good versus evil through out history, good almost always triumphs in the end. For example the New York Yankees have won a total of twenty seven World Series Championships compared to the Boston Red Sox who have won a meager seven World Series. Another example would be Darth Vader returning from the dark side to vanquish the evil Emperor by means of hurling the villain over a rail to unseen depths and certain death. In the case of Bachelors level nursing compared to Associates level nursing however, there really is no good versus evil to compare. There is no dark versus light there is just a different level of attained educational degree. The question is what does the difference in education level provide in the level of competency of each nurse. The aim of this paper is to discuss what is the definition of competency in nursing and how is it measured, what are the advantages in nursing care for associates and bachelors degree care, and how do the differences in educational level affect overall patient outcomes. What is competency in nursing? The American Nurses Association, or ANA, defines competency by stating, “competency is an expected level of performance that results from an integration of knowledge, skills, abilities, and judgment” (ANA 2004). A nurses’ ability...

Unlike Database Replay, the SQL Performance Analyzer does not try and replicate the workload on the system. It just plugs through each statement gathering performance statistics. The SQL Performance Analyzer can be run manually using the DBMS_SQLPA package or using Enterprise Manager.

...increase departmental functioning in the future. In health care managers have diverse staff to motivate. Employees may be of varied ages, experience, educational levels, and job descriptions. Staff ranges from minimally educated secretarial staff to professionals such as licensed professional nurses, physicians, and physician extenders (Borkowski, 2005). The manager who takes the time to get to know the employees he or she is responsible for will know the individual positive or negative attributes of each employee. This will assist in determining how best to motivate everyone for the good of the department. Many motivational theories exist but only equity and goal-setting theories will be discussed here. Equity Theory Theory Description Equity theory basis relies on the comparison of inputs to outcomes. In the work setting an employee’s education, skill set, and anything else he or she brings to the job position provides the input. The salary, promotion, bonus or anything else attributed to the inputs provides the employee’s outcomes. Equity exists when the ration of inputs to outcomes of one employee equates to those of another employee (Borkowski, 2005). Equity Theory in...

...In the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, similes are used to help bring better meaning to readers by describing the setting, comparing two unlike things, and creating an image in the reader’s head. For example, the first simile is used at the beginning of the story to describe what the setting is like. Mr. Enfield walks the streets that are “as empty as a church” (Stevenson 4) when he is alone that night. The use of this simile is emphasizing the stillness portrayed when Mr Enfield was walking the streets. It helps the reader understand the emptiness around Mr. Enfield and how quiet it was. The simile gives the setting a dark and lonely tone and gives the reader a better understanding of the character’s...

...Autism 2 The purpose of this paper is to review a research article examining the social integration of autistic students in inclusive elementary school classes. The article is: Boutot, E. A. & Bryant, D. P. (2005). Social integration of students with autism in inclusive settings. Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, 40(1), 14-23. The article by Boutot and Bryant (2005) begins with a fairly comprehensive review of the related literature that is used to establish a reason to believe that the social integration of student’s with autism in elementary schools may be difficult and hard to attain. The literature indicates that student’s with autism may, in fact, have difficulties gaining social status and establishing friends. The article also defines autism, explains the various deficits common to elementary students who are autistic, and discusses the components that comprise the concept of social integration. The discussion of social integration as a concept is extensive. Each component is separately discussed in terms of what the literature typically shows as to how autistic children function relative to the component, especially when they are in inclusive settings. The components include measures of social status and establishing friendship. Specifically, they are: social preference, social impact, and social network affiliations. The study ended with the formulation of two research purposes. These were: 1.) To examine for differences...

...that account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort they expend at work (Lombardi & Schermerhorn, 2007). Managers can utilize external factors, like positive reinforcement and punishment to affect how staff works. Health care managers who lead teams and staff with motivation create conditions where their employees feel inspired to work hard and perform to the best of their abilities. Workplace conflict may be inevitable, but proactive managers can respond effectively to conflicts, often improving situations. The text defines needs as unfulfilled physiological or psychological desires of an individual. As the manager of a company that is downsizing I would use the goal setting theory to try and establish goals for moving forward in the organization. Edwin Locke’s goal-setting theory states to assign goals, in the form of clear and desirable...
