...Application Letter April 14, 2006 Mr. Dominico Chua Employment Manager MILY Corporation 13764 Linda Blair Roanoke, VA 24019 chua@mily.com Dear Mr. Chua: From your company's web site I learned about your need for a sales representative for the Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina areas. I am very interested in this position with MILY’s, and believe that my education and employment background are appropriate for the position.

...After reading The Unknown Citizen by W.H. Auden I was a little confused about the context of the poem. After rereading it a few times I began to think it was about establishing the American Dream after the War because of the description the speaker gave of the citizen. The speaker says “ But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.”, I knew that this was an allusion to Ford Motors which had been a huge factory job, which had been what most men did. Later when the speaker says, “And had everything necessary to the Modern Man, a phonograph, radio, a car and a frigidaire.”, it really helped back up my theory because he was working hard to acquire the nicest things which was huge after the war due to having to scrape and save everything. Overall, I enjoyed the poem. The slight satire caught my interest and enticed me the entire poem. Part Two: After our discussion After our class discussion I found out my theory was completely off. The poem was actually satirical about the “Big Brother” and the mold society tries to push everyone into. We discussed how the speaker capitalizes “the Bureau of Statistics” and how that was the first hint of the satire. The speaker used this to show how the government keeps track of everything. As the poem went on, more fake government organizations came up to show how simple and ordinary the citizen was. The last line “Was he happy? Was he free? The questions is absurd; had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.”, emphasized that...

...unknown Prof: Rennie English 102 April 16, 2013 "A Certain Lady" is a poem written in the past, but is still relevant in today's time. Dorothy Parker was an amazing writer. "A Certain Lady" was interpreted as a woman who pretended to be somebody she is not. Due to the title "Certain Lady" that Parker uses as the theme of this poem, they could describe who the speaker really was. She was a woman who hid her inner feelings just to please her husband; it also shows how much he does not or will not know this eccentric. "All the straining things within my heart you'll never know.... And what goes on my love, while you're away, you will never know." These line tells me how sad she was and the emotion she had to deal with in the relationship. The first stanza of this poem explains all the pretence she portrays whenever he's around. " Oh, I can smile for you, and tilt my head, and drink your rushing words with eager lips, and paint my mouth for you a fragrant red , And trace your brows with tutored finger-tips." The image of this phrase tells me how ignorant he was and too blind to see the tears in her eyes. She pretended to be who she's not. The speaker's tone also describes her experiences with the situation. " Painting my mouth for you a fragrant red" sounds like things he admired on her the most. So, she is to be the top of her game and playing her role, and yet he cannot see the character she is: she must be a lady with lots of experience. " When you rehearse your...

...“What is my embarrassing moment?” And I will answer it starting my story on March 11, 2015. It was the day our principal gave the results in UPCAT that makes me sad. On the other hand after classes I received a text message from my sister congratulating me for passing the PUPCET. From that day on, I was thinking when will I go there to enroll. Since I knew that I passed, I never opened the PUP website which is my mistake. It was April 25, 2015, when I’m surfing the net and accidentally opened the PUP website. That time I realized that my enrollment day had already passed, it supposed to be on April 20, but I remember that on that day I was in the hospital to visit my newly born nephew. Therefore my father accompanied me to PUP on April 27. When we get there the guard told us that parents are not allowed inside, which makes me worry because I’m afraid to talk to other person without the help of my father. On the first booth, the students there are arranging the credentials to its proper formation. When the student asks me, “Why are you late for your enrollment day?” And I just told him that the internet connection was not working so that I opened it late. While arranging my credentials he told me, “What course you want to take?” And I told him, “I wanted to take accountancy but I know that there is no slot available.” And he asks me, “What are your rank in your school?” I answered him, “I was the valedictorian of the class but we’re just 35 and it’s just 1/3 of the class is my foe for...

...for Britain was a triumph because the soldiers escaped and survived the incident at Dunkirk to fight another day; this can be seen in interpretations of source B1. Its written by a military historian who interprets Dunkirk as ‘a miracle’ he then goes on to say ‘Hundreds of troops were rescued from the German advance in a nick of time- it seemed like a victory just getting the troops back to fight another day’ the historian has come to this conclusion because they saved a whole lot of people even though they lost some, it boosted the opinions of the army in the public eye and how they can fight another day. This is a reliable piece of evidence to a certain extent as it gives you all the information about Dunkirk, it is written by a military historian, so it’s got professional hindsight because of that and because it was written 60 or so years after it happened. However this source can be questioned as it was written 6 decades after it happened so some of the facts could have been lost, it’s only a one sided piece of evidence and it could be biased as he would be working for the government as a historian. It’s also not a primary source as he wasn’t there which it happened. From source b2 I can infer that the British soldiers were brave and that even though they were alone they were not willing to back down. Their ally France had let them down and now they had to face what was to transpire on their own. This also shows us that the evacuation was a success. This cartoon was created to...

...performance by changing the interaction between firms and suppliers. The change in information system such as electronic data interchange and purchasing system based on Internet has reduced the cost, time and other difficulties when the company exchange with suppliers. Ordering goods with supplier through electronic data system helps companies avoid paperwork which mistimes and arises some errors that can delay the production chain. A new method of working with suppliers has integrated with interorganizational system to create a greater benefit for the company. For example, the ASAP system, which is used in the hospital, lets it orders supplies automatically from the wholesellers. This system reduces the cost of data entry, about $25-30 each if it was written by hand. Besides that, when the order has been written in the database, this system has responsibility in the operation supply. It includes the designing the space of the stock, setting the inventory system based on computer, and replenishing automatically the inventory. This combination...

...First paragraph. When it comes to writing a paper we should be very careful with mistakes, which we might have. While we writing our paper we might face many challenges. The first challenge which people might face writing a paper it is when there are too many words, which repeat a lot. People usually do not pay enough attention to that because they do not think it is a big deal usually. However we should pay attention to repeat words a lot, it might get our readers be confused and think that we do not know grammar rules at all. The second challenge, which people do face it is when they write too long or too short sentences. In other words, people do not keep sentence variety or rhythm of the paragraphs. When our writing does have sentences that too long or too short, it looks like we write long sentences because we do not know what we are trying to explain. The third challenge is not putting punctuation where it need to be. Without a punctuation the whole paper will look like it is not organized at all and does have a lot of information, which look like a mess. All our mistakes in paper will make our readers think that we just do not know basic grammar rules and it might lead to the situation where our readers will not take our work serious. Second paragraph. It is not so easy to overcome the challenges that we might face while we are writing a paper. The best way of avoiding them is to find them before we will submit our work. It is not easy but we can do it, if we...

...Nov 16,2013 1. Emerson begins his second paragraph with “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string,” (as cited in Langan, 2014) What does he mean by this? Why do you think he placed the quote this early in the essay? Explain (1)I feel that Emerson’s quote “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to its own string,” Is implying, whatever you set your mind too you can accomplish. “Every heart vibrates to its own Iron string,” Is implying that everyone is different; we go about doing things in different ways, but it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. (2) I feel he placed this quote so early in the essay because; he wanted to attract the reader’s attention with such a unique passage. He tried grabbing their attention, early in the passage. 2. In paragraph 4, Emerson says, “it is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own” (as cited in Langan, 2014). What does he mean by this quote? What is his purpose in making this statement? Explain. (1) “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion”, basically it’s saying that it is easy for other people to justify your life, doing what’s good in the eyes of society. Letting what other people think, affect the way you live your life. “It’s is easy in solitude to live after our own,” Is saying to live in solitude, you can easily live, doing the things that you want to do. (2) To shed light on the situation, of people caring, what other people think. Live by your...

...Jordan Hollingsworth Professor Appling English 1102 28 February 2016 Paper on Simon J. Ortiz “(My Father’s Song) A poem is a set up of words out together into a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanza structure. In the poem written by Simon J. Ortiz is a very touch poem about ones father and how he misses him dearly. He recalls a memory they had once shared together. The next poem that will be laid out and made more clearer to the viewer will be a poem about a mans father and his hard work. The narrator of the story is one that is recalling his past and how he felt bad for his dad as a young boy. As he has gotten older and more understanding to challenges in life he starts to relative the hardship and to feel bad for his dad. Some expressions or descriptions that are used inside poems are figurative language, symbolisms, metaphor, simile, and personification. Figurative language is words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. Symbolisms are the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. In the essay we will discuss the ideas of how the author uses different ways that they have put there thought together in the poem. Metaphor is a term of used to imply comparison between two literally incompatible items; it does not use explicit connective words. Simile is an explicit comparison...

...Proof by David Auburn was actually a pretty good read. I found it a little difficult to read the play as it was written, though. This is the first play I’ve read that was just kind of written as a play. I had to go back and read a few parts over again when I got off track or forgot that something was mentioned, but reading plays isn’t so bad. I found it hard to get to know the characters too well. Because plays are all dialogue, I never really knew what was on their mind. Anyway, Proof is a play about a young woman who is the daughter of a brilliant mathematician. Her name is Catherine. He is kind of old and not all there in the head. Since he is a little crazy, he doesn’t do work with numbers anymore. He doesn’t really do much of anything except let Catherine take care of him. A few scenes go by, and Catherine’s father is now dead. I caught on to the fact that Catherine is very good with numbers like her father, but I feel like she is hiding it, perhaps because she doesn’t want to be like him. Enter Hal, a quirky nerd taught by Robert (Catherine’s insane father) in the past. He is desperate to find something to prove Robert was sane and still the genius he once knew. He does! He finds a notebook with calculations that could only be done by a genius. Catherine claims it as her own, and no one believes her. Both Hal and her sister completely doubt that she could do those kinds of calculations. She is upset that they don’t believe her. So in the end she has to prove that the...

...exaggerated and sarcastic manner. In this way it keeps the readers interests and gives an example to what a typical person would recount these situations as. But towards the end, the subject isn’t just an essay expressing the many things that aggravates him but also pointing out that the general public gets agitated over everything, which in some cases result to unnecessary violence that can be easily avoided if people were more calm and collective. Throughout the entire essay he was expressing his opinion in a captious but realistic approach, which would identify it as a critique. By presenting his paper in this aspect he can expose all the faults he sees so similar minded individuals can also relate to him. Road Warriors does specify the time or location but one can infer the essay’s time of creations is likely written after an encounter with “road rage”. Dave capitalizes certain phrases in his essay to emphasize his frustration, as if he was venting to someone about it. There aren’t any details as to where it was written. He doesn’t state anything about the occasion in general at all. Dave’s audience really ranges from adolescent to the elderly. He mocks minors by referring them as “testosterone- deranged youth “ giving minors a negative connotation and also assuming all teenagers are crazy drivers and they’re the ones tailgating and cutting him off. Motorist are also mentioned, he bashes on them by alluding motorist belong to a cult where driving on the right is forbidden, exaggerating...

The title page is the reader's first contact with the report and it is worth taking some trouble over its lay-out. It answers questions in the mind of someone who might be going through a pile of reports looking for a particular one and those questions would probably be: What is it about? (Subject of the report) Who wrote it? (Author(s)) For whom? (Name of person or group for whom it was prepared) From where? (Full postal address of organisation on whose behalf it was written When?

...June, 8 2012 While King's letter was set and written in the 1960's, it is still prevalent today. Martin Luther King was not only a civil rights activist for Blacks, but his logic and rhetoric is to be admired. I feel it is our duty not only to read King's letter, but to use it as an educational tool. The letter, by King, is well written and a great example of how to write a letter formed essay. Ignoring the fact this letter was being written during the civil rights fights and protests in the 1960's, it was written by a well-educated and well known man who is respected and admired. King begins his letter in a polite address to accusations delivered to him, "But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will..." He takes politeness to a degree that it becomes an art form. Not once does he use an offense word or phrase that would offend the audience of his letter. King's logic is also to be commended. The Letter began with King's reasons of being in Birmingham and he explains it in a way that you feel like you should agree with him. The different types of rhetoric that King uses are perfect for the intended purpose. His play on pathos, or our emotions, is so that you really have to pay attention to discover it. The best example of his play on pathos is when he describes an even with his son, "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?" It is not the point that the son was asking about racial mistreatment but that it was a child asking his father. When you...

...other eight children where fled from the planet Lorien and landed on Earth. They fled because there was another alien race, called The Mogadarians, who took over their planet and destroyed everything. These nine children are known as Legacies and as they grow into adults they acquire the same special powers as their parents were gifted with. These powers are the only thing that can stop The Mogadarians. Together with his guardian, Henri, John is traveling through America to escape facing with The Mogadarians. They can’t stay in one place for too long because then it would get easier for The Mogadarians to find them. The Mogadarians must kill every one of the nine Legacy children in order. And now they have already killed Number One, Number Two and Number Three. John is Number Four. Pittacus Lore, the author, words are very easy to understand. So for me, who speaks Swedish, had no problem understanding what it stood in the text. He also wrote very modern, no difficult words that you had to look in a dictionary. It was written as a teenage book should be. But there was something that bothered me with his writing. You could tell that he hasn’t written so many books before. He repeated some words in almost every chapter. The words was “nod”, “shrugs” and “as though”. It was kind of annoying. When you are aware of that, you can’t help notice it. Besides that, the book was pretty good. I found the 440 pages of I am Number Four very interesting and I really liked the story...
