...Judith Pulido October 11, 2011 C/LT 320I T/R 3:30-4:45 The Trickster and Captain Jack Sparrow The trickster is a mythical figure, which brings about a boon of healing and rebirth. Trickster is able to heal a crowd by laughter. He is able to do so by using his unrestrained imagination of telling the truth and saying things as is. He always finds a way out of social constraints and is able to spread his healing all over. In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow illustrates this by finding a way out of social constraint, telling the truth, and ultimately saving everyone by being the fool he is. Although many things may get in the way of retrieving his freedom, Captain Sparrow is always able to find a way out of constraining social constructs. When he first arrives in Port Royal a toll collector stops him. Successfully he is able to get through by bribing his way out by offering three “shillings” but being a pirate as he is, he steals the toll collector’s bag and acquires more money than he gave. He is also able to find a hole to escape when Commodore Norrington and the British Navy catch him after saving Miss Elizabeth Swann. When he is handcuffed he uses them and Elizabeth to escape. Also, because he knows that the British Navy does not trust him, he skillfully tricks them. With the help of William Turner he steals the Commodore’s ship with a few tricks up his sleeve. He pretends to steal one ship to gain another...

...Huynh Thieu Dinh (Felix) Eng4U Mr. Burton October 31th, 2013 Hamlet Act 1 Scene 5: Pirate of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl Hamlet is a story take place around the 14th to 15th century in the land of Denmark. The ghost scene from act 1 scene 5 is a crucial scene since it is the beginning of Hamlet’s plot for revenge. It is also one of Shakespeare “signature” scenes because most of his plays always include a supernatural figure manipulates and affects the plot. Then how could anything make the scene any better than it is now? The answer is changes the scene to an adaptation of the movie “Pirate of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl”. The adaptation would change the setting, costumes and makeups, dialogue, lighting, and figure placement. Setting: In the adaptation, I want to add in an ominous atmosphere for the setting of the scene because it would fit the supernatural event. First the time setting is at a starless night along with a crescent moon. Hamlet runs through a dark forest toward the ghost voice beyond the luminous light. Then, Hamlet reaches a sea shore covered in thick layers of mists. The dark forest, luminous light and misty sea shore are the factors that contribute to the mysterious setting. The reason I create this part of the setting is to enhance the meeting between Hamlet and the ghost. When Hamlet reaches the seashore, the voice stops and he then sees a ghost ship floats into a cave. Again, the cave also acts as a factor generates the haunting...

...Hi, Disney's latest, P.o.c- on stranger tides, is not an action entertainer as that of P.o.c - at the world's end. But it certainly has all the ingredients to keep you glued to your seats. It's an out and out johnny depp movie, where he carries it all through with ease and his usual, yet different gestures. The plot of the movie revolves around Spaniards, British and the pirates, who are all set in search for fountain of youth. Even though it sounds same [group of people fighting for a common thing] as the previous ones, the manner in which it is dealt is gripping. As the action sequences are less in this venture, more effort have been put on comedy sequences. This is where Depp has scored immensely. Mentioning about his action sequences, the one which stood out was Depp's escape from king's palace, which was as good as any of the captain's earlier escapes. Apart from johnny, other noticeable performances were from Penelope Cruz, Ian Mcshane & Geoffrey Rush. Especially Ian Mcshane, in the role of Black Beard scores all through, starting from his introduction as the captain, till he is fooled to death by depp in the closing moments of the film. This legendary actor proves again why he is a valuable asset to any film. For Penelope Cruz, as Angelica, you can never take this as her best, but still she has essayed her part to perfection as the daughter of Blackbeard. A new addition to this venture are the appearance of mermaids with killer...

...PHILIPPINE FLORA AND FAUNA Flora and fauna refer to plant and wildlife, respectively. The indigenous plant and wildlife of a geographical region is often referred to as that region’s flora and fauna. Both are collective terms, referring to groups of plant or wildlife specific to a region or a time period. For example, the flora and fauna of a warm region may consist of tropical to warm-temperate vegetation and exotic species of birds. By definition, flora is a word of Latin origin referring to Flora, the goddess of flowers. Flora can refer to a group of plants, a disquisition of a group of plants, as well as to bacteria. Flora is the root of the word floral, which means pertaining to flowers. Fauna can refer to the animal life or classification of animals of a certain region, time period, or environment. Fauna is also of Latin origin. In Roman Mythology Fauna was the sister of Faunus, a good spirit of the forest and plains. The flora and fauna of any given region is usually explained in biological terms to include the genus and species of plant and animal life, their preferred growing or breeding habits, and their connection to one another in the environment as well. In addition to geographical groupings, environment also helps further classifications of flora and fauna. For example, aquatic flora andfauna of a region refers to the plant and animal life found in the waters in or surrounding a geographic region.

...there was a little jack rabbit that had tiny, tiny ears and little legs. His main problem was that he could hear or get around very easily. His home was under this big oak tree in the forest, it was very cool and it kept the rain from getting him all wet. Mr. Jack was very friendly; everyone in the forest was his friends even his common enemy; like the coyote. But out of all his friends there was this one that Mr. Jack would always turn to for help or questions that he wanted answers to. This friend live in the upper part of the tree, he was an owl named Hoot. So one night he just got back and he saw Hoot in the tree and he looked at him and said “ Hoot, why is it so hard for me to get around and so hard for me to hear I don’t get it; I know you can hear really well, and you get around great because you have wings”. Hoot was thinking and said “I don’t know how that works but that’s the way life goes, now get some sleep.” “Ok I will good night Hoot.” Later that night Jack was having dreams about actually having long legs and ears, he was so happy and excited that in the morning he woke up and had to tell Hoot. He was very happy for Jack, then it hit him what if I try to tug on Jacks ears and legs. Hoot thought it over very carefully and was thinking maybe that will really work. At least Jack would be happy if that really did happen because he never stops talking about his ears and legs getting longer. The next day he was tell Jack about his great plan, Jack got excited and said...

...The strongest always prevail over the weak; one example is World War 1. The stronger armies prevailed, while the weaker ones were destroyed. Golding in his novel, Lord of the Flies, argues that the strongest prevail over the weak. A couple of instances where this is demonstrated are when Jack makes his own group and everyone joins him because he’s stronger, nobody disobeys the stronger people because they are scared they will get hurt, and lastly Jacks group has stronger people so they take over Ralphs group. Firstly, one of the many scenes demonstrating that the stronger prevail over the weak is when Jack creates his own group. For example “Long before Ralph and Piggy came up with Jack’s lot” (164). This proves Golding’s argument that the stronger do in fact prevail over the weak considering everyone joined his group because he was physically stronger then Ralph. Secondly, another example that relates to Golding’s argument is when Samneric are too scared to leave Jack’s group because they are afraid that they will get hurt or killed. For example, Ralph said “Wont you come with me? Three of us- we’d stand a chance” and Samneric replied “‘You don’t know Roger. He’s a terror.’ ‘-and the Chief-they’re both-‘ ‘-terrors” (210). This once again proves Golding’s argument because Samneric were indeed too afraid to disobey the stronger leaders. Finally, the last instance where Golding shows that the stronger prevail over the weak is that Jack’s group had more people, and eventually...

...Through the usage of bitter diction, metaphor, and tender diction, King illustrates a gender dynamic granting men control in which Jack struggles to conform and Wendy is successful in following. By using resentful language, King indicates that as Jack deals with control, he tries but fails to obtain control. While speaking to Al on the phone, Jack thinks, but does not voice, “First Ullman, then Wendy, now Al. What was this? National Let’s Pick Jack Torrance Apart Week?” (275). Feeling hostile, Jack bitterly thinks to himself that everyone around him is “picking him apart,” a resentful way to mean criticizing him. As a stereotypical male, Jack is supposed to be regarded with authority, not belittled like he currently is. His inner resentment...

...Other Archetypes We focus on the trickster or deceiver because her archetype ties directly to the ultimate quest of Mr. Incredible and his family. The deceit that Mirage commits is by enticing Bob, or Mr. Incredible, with a false quest of destroying a military weapon that has gone rogue. Her trickery is appealing to Mr. Incredible because it satisfies two of his main concerns. It satisfies his ability to care for his family financially and it also satisfies his desire to utilize his superhero abilities for what he believes is for the common good. The trickery or deceit archetype in this myth shows importance because it allows the viewers to see the vulnerability of the hero and later with success, shows how the hero is able to overcome the circumstance. Another female archetype in the myth is that of the mother or queen. Helen or Elastigirl, as she is known in the hero world is the matriarch or glue of The Incredible family. She understands that it is imperative for the family to continue to lead a discreet lifestyle when it relates to their superhero abilities. She does so by being the voice of reason to her husband and children even when they do not quite understand of the reasons behind their secrecy. Finally, we look at the companion or ally as many of us may refer to them as. Lucious, also known as Frozone, is Mr. Incredible’s right hand man. His character stands by Mr. Incredible, regardless of his agreement or disagreement with Mr. Incredible. From being...

Governor Markell grew up in Newark, Delaware, and graduated from Newark High School and Brown University major in economics and development studies and received an MBA degree from the University of Chicago. After he graduated from university of Chicago, he had thousands of jobs, but three of the most unforgettable experience he had were served as Vice President for Corporate Development at Nextel, this job includes helping to lead the movement to wireless technology, worked as a senior management position at Comcast, and worked as a banker at First Chicago Corporation. Jobs seeking are not easy, remember, you are the one who need it. So show the employers and let them believe that you are qualifying for it. Attitudes are important, according to Markell. And the piece of advice he would like to share with us “jobs are not hard to find, especially for UD students, all you have to do is show them how much you want it”. As an entrepreneur, Markell led the development of several educational efforts in personal financial management, known as "the Financial Literacy initiatives." He created the Delaware Money School, which offers free classes to Delawareans throughout the year on topics such as saving for college and retirement...

...We have come a long way from the days of Feudalism where Lords were land (fief) owners and the vassals were the common folk who provided a service to the Lord for use of the land, whether it is to serve in the military or other forms as requested. This was the way of life in medieval times, up until the 15th century (Hirst, 2012). From here, the transition began from Feudalism to the early stage Capitalism, where the ordinary people broke away from the Feudal system and owned property and the means of production as well as the resources to make and maintain wealth (Dictionary.com, 2012). England in the 1800’s was hard in comparison to today. The life expectancy for a man aged 20 in 1850 was 60.1 years compared to 76.7 in 2004 (Geoff Canyon's Appeal to Authority, 2009). This was mainly due to the living conditions and especially those in the poor area of East London, where animals not only shared the often over crowed living area with humans but also the human waste that was thrown onto the streets. Often those who lived in the bottom apartments lived close to if not in the stench, more so than those who lived multiple stories above the streets. With the pollution of human waste in the streets and the polluted River Thames from the sewage of the West End, no matter where you lived in the East End, you still had to walk through the rising filth. These living conditions were the main reason for the various outbreaks of diseases, sores and premature deaths during the 1800’s...

...CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, social performance, or sustainable responsible business/ Responsible Business) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. The goal of CSR is to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders. The term "corporate social responsibility" came into common use in the late 1960s and early 1970s after many multinational corporations formed the term stakeholder, meaning those on whom an organization's activities have an impact. It was used to describe corporate owners beyond shareholders as a result of an influential book by R. Edward Freeman, Strategic management: a stakeholder approach in 1984. Proponents argue that corporations make more long term profits by operating with a perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from the economic role of businesses. Others argue CSR is merely window-dressing, or an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. CSR is...

...What will he do with this information? A DOZEN big screens hang on the wall. Maps flash. Numbers stream by. The Alibaba Group’s “live data monitoring room” offers a snapshot of frantic activity: Chinese firms trading with foreign ones; Chinese individuals buying clothes from each other. Perhaps half a billion people use Alibaba’s various online services. The group’s diminutive founder, Jack Ma, smiles that business is “pretty good”. Yet he is far from satisfied. In a country where tycoons are often the children of politicians, Mr Ma stands out. He failed twice to get into college. He learned English from the radio. He stumbled on the internet during a trip to America as an interpreter in the mid-1990s. He typed the phrase “Chinese beer” into a search engine. No results appeared. He saw an opportunity. He started Alibaba in 1999, to help small firms find customers and suppliers without going through costly middlemen. Alibaba.com now claims to have 57m users, including some in nearly every country. It is sometimes likened to eBay, but is more like an online Yellow Pages.
