...40, it is clear that it is a third person point of view. The narrator talks about the main character as "she" and her by her name. We see that in following quotes, "Melissa hated forgetting things" (p. 1 l. 1) and "She watched raindrops chase each other down the bus window". This is two quotes where the narrator clearly uses third person of the main character. This is something that happens through the whole story, so the point of view doesn't change. Furthermore me can say that it is a limited narrator in some ways, because we don't know how the main characters deep emotions. On the other side we know how she is as a person, that she is forgetful and how she feel about her living fellow Simon, talking to the other girl Emma or Emily, who she clearly had forgot the name of because she is this forgetful. If we look on the setting, I will start give a characterizing of both Melissa and Simon. Melissa is confused and forgetful. She is also a bit jealous on Simons friend Emma or Emily from work. Furthermore you can say that she might be full of fantasy because she suddenly can't find her house or might even live in a fantasy world. On the other hand there is Simon, he is presented as superior, in that way he knows better, and she will always call him if there is something she can't remember, we see that in following quote "But couldn't remember the name. if she'd had her phone she would have called Simon, because he was good at things like that'. Even though he is not that helpful...

...novel, perceptible not only in Oskar’s loss of his father, but also in his grandparents’ loss of Anna. To anyone, loosing a loved one is a tragic event in someone’s life. Imagine what nine-year-old Oskar is going through when loosing his father, role model, and best friend for no reason. Oskar dynamic emotional changes began to affect the love ones around him. Oskar becomes more violent at home by throwing tantrums, yelling at his mother, and frequently giving he bruises. To cope with his loss, Oskar keeps his mind constantly “inventing,” and embarks on a hunt to find the mystery lock to which his father’s key belongs. When Oskar finally found the lock, he is confused and distraught that there is no longer a way to connect with his father, “But I still couldn't figure out what it all meant. The more I found out, the less I understood.” This quote shows that even though Oskar solved the mystery of the key, he didn’t understand the purpose of finding it. Similarly, Oskar’s grandparents experienced death in a different way. Both lost family in World War II. His grandmother lost her best friend and sister Anna. Anna was also an Oskar’s grandpa lost love. Loosing the same person, both grandparents had different emotions and ways to cope with...

...life story in the form of six different genres? We looked up genre after genre trying to find the top six genres we wanted to use in our multi-genre essay. There were some good genre suggestions on the internet, but they were all generic and lacked what was needed for this project - creativity! But with the use of our 4 minds, we were able to come up with the six unique genres we really liked! These genres ranged from a rejection letter all the way to a museum brochure. Now, how were we going to link all of this information? We thought of using quotes, or poems, or even Bible verses, but we finally decided on one very unique transition genre which serves as a metaphorical reference to Schulz and his life. The transition genre we settled on is a lock and key set, to show Schulz ‘unlocking’ different stages in his life as the genres progress. The transition genres show the progression of Schulz’s life through a metaphorical flow of lock and key. Charles Schulz did not have it easy. He faced a lot of failures before he could ever have his first taste of success. Through this project we hope to educate you about Schulz’s unwavering passion for cartooning and determination to succeed, both leading him to his everlasting success. ...

I honestly feel he was called upon to speak to fill in for someone else at the last minute. He gave a speech, but it was a rambling talk. He had zero visual aids even though several huge screens were available for possible power point presentations. 4. What facts, quotes, stats, or stories does the speaker includes? The speaker gave facts, quotes, stats, etc. such as: GlaxoSmithKlein estimates that 90 percent of drugs work in only 30 to 50 percent of people; 1 in 300 people then have a chance of having a drug affect them positively in order to meet the Number Needed to Treat (NNT); and that your 15 times more likely to be harmed the a drug than you are to be helped by a drug……etc. 5.

...walls and gates that lock, and lots of separate little houses for the gardeners and people” (Gilman 376). This quote shows the reader that this is no ordinary house. The house is extremely isolated; some believe this is a direct connection to women being separated from society. The house is isolated and restricted with its locks and gates similar to that of the narrator’s situation. She is forced to lie around all day; alone in her room while the narrator’s husband’s sister Jennie takes over the narrator’s domestic duties. However, Gilman avoids the use of exaggeration when describing her character John in the story. John, the narrator’s husband is the standard example of what a husband in the early 19th century was. John is a loving, kind, and protective husband; but at the same time very controlling and condescending. Gilman uses a standard image of a husband to show the reader that this is the kind of man that is expected; and although John loves his wife and wants to protect her and help her get better he is not always right. His beliefs could end up driving his wife insane because he keeps disregarding her thoughts on her own treatment. John refers to his wife as a “blessed little goose” (Gilman), infantilizing his wife as she sits in a nursery. This further emphasizes the over barring and controlling role of the husband over the submissive wife. Gilman’s story “The Yellow Wallpaper” has many examples of symbolism specifically directed at the story’s key element the wallpaper...

...“Whose house is this?” The first four words of Toni Morrison’s new book greet — or assail — us before the story even begins. They’re from the epigraph, which quotes a song cycle written by the author some 20 years ago and therefore, it seems safe to say, not originally intended for this book, but an indication, perhaps, of how long its themes have been haunting her. And “haunting” is a fitting word for the lyric itself, in which a speaker professes to lack both recognition of and accountability for the strange, shadowy, dissembling domicile in which he finds himself. The atmosphere of alienation makes the song’s final line even more uncanny: “Say, tell me, why does its lock fit my key?” Thus the stage is set for “Home”: on the basis of its publisher’s description a novel, on the basis of its length a novella, and on the basis of its stripped-down, symbol-laden plot something of an allegory. It tells the story of Frank Money, a 24-year-old Korean War veteran, as he embarks on a reluctant journey home. But where — and what — is home? Frank is already back from the fighting when we meet him, a year after being discharged from an integrated Army into a segregated homeland. Since then, he has wandered the streets of Seattle, “not totally homeless, but close.” He has gambled his Army pay and lost it, worked odd jobs and lost them, lived with a girlfriend and lost her, and all the while struggled, none too successfully, against the prospect of losing his mind. The action begins with...

This may also be true for the names of built-in functions. Reserved words are permitted as identifiers if you quote them as described in Section 9.2, “Schema Object Names”: mysql> CREATE TABLE interval (begin INT, end INT); ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax ... near 'interval (begin INT, end INT)' mysql> CREATE TABLE `interval` (begin INT, end INT); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) Exception: A word that follows a period in a qualified name must be an identifier, so it need not be quoted even if it is reserved: mysql> CREATE TABLE mydb.interval (begin INT, end INT); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) Names of built-in functions are permitted as identifiers but may require care to be used as such. For example,COUNT is acceptable as a column name. However, by default, no whitespace is permitted in function invocations between the function name and the following “(” character.

...with no questions. Ismene’s view of life is biologically impacted. Although she loves her brother, Polyneices, it is against the law to bury him according to Creon. Creon having set law that anyone to touch the corpse to be stoned to death publically causes Ismene’s view of life to become a problem. With her and Antigone being the last two members alive within the family, they must stay alive to continue the family bloodline. Now there are only the two of us, left behind, And see how miserable our end shall be If in the teeth of law we shall transgress Against the sovereign’s decree and power. You ought to realize we are only women, Not meant in nature to fight against men. (Antigone. 57-62) Within this quote we realize not only is Ismene aware they are the only two left to fulfill the families obligation biologically to keep the bloodline alive, but we also see that she understands they both will be killed if going against the men of law and burying their brother. Antigone view of being human is based on a sense of family honor, obligation, and reputation, Her brothers, being both killed, one has had the honor of being buried. Polyneices on the other hand, being left in the open for all to see, animals to feast on, is against all Antigone believes. Even though Creon has forbidden it, they must bury their...

...This object is important to the novel because a few of the most important scenes were located on this mat. The first event that happened here was when Rapp showed Hurley that he was good enough to be allowed into this very secretive program “Hurley had his opponent’s wrist in both hands now… Before he could lock in the move, though, the kid did something that Hurley did not think possible. Rapp somehow reversed into the hold and was now on top”(Flynn 33-34). This quote identifies that even though Rapp was not trained in a military quality in hand to hand combat he still had enough natural talent to be able to defeat Hurley who is known for showing no clemency towards new recruits, but Hurley lost a step with his age and now he paid the price with the pain his recruit put him in. The second key event that happened on the wrestling mat was when Victor asked Rapp his real name but Rapp was not supposed to tell any thing about him or his past, so Victor freaks out and Rapp wants to fight him so he brings it to the mat, but it is broken up before the fight gets physical. This scene is important because it shows the ongoing feud between the two powerhouses in the...

...individual observation might exclude cheating, wasting time to chatter or other distracting things, making noise. For instance, there is a student who is always distracting and talking, not doing homework, but getting an “A” on tests and quizzes. So, there is a huge chance that he is cheating, to find out that, teacher needs to separate all students from each other. After separating each student, give them test and see how each student is doing. By their work, teacher might see on what topics and where, each student struggle with. May be the student who was distracting, but still getting an “A” on tests, was cheating before, or he is smart enough, but too active in class, and teacher was overjudging him. Last, but not least example from the quote is about workers. By keeping workers in one room, the chief might see if the worker is doing his job well, on time. Also, there is not going to be robbery, disorder, and other distracting things which slows down the rate of work, and might distract their coworkers work. For example, the chief will separate each worker from each other and give personal task. The chief might see how well that specific...

...In the story ‘Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl the author identifies the protagonist Mrs.Maloney as dynamic because she changes from a obssesive wife to a twisted widow throughout the story. Dahl shows her change through ongoing syntax, gloomy diction, and figurative language. In the beginning Mrs. Maloney seems to be characterized as obsessive by using ongoing syntax in the second paragraph “when the clock said ten minutes to five, she began to listen, and a few minutes later, punctually as always, she heard the car tires on the stones outside, the car door closing, footsteps passing the window, the key turning in the lock.” (dahl 1) This reveals how she seems to be quite obsessive toward her husband. The quote tells us how she knows exactly what happens when her husband comes home. Despite her husband still being rude to her she still doesn't take no for an answer. For example when he wants another drink, she so eagerly wants to help him but he won't let her....

...Ethics in Cyberspace: Have We Seen This Movie Before? DR. THOMAS DONALDSON Monday, February 5, 2001 Wilder Pavilion, Adamian Academic Center Bentley College Waltham, Massachusetts Presenters Njeru Salesio Kinyua: Nduati Paul Njaaga: Toroitich Patrick Kiplimo: Lemuel Mangla: Bryan Egessa: 046485 015118 049063 090716 090524 Introduction Dr. Donaldson begins by stating that his topic, ethics in cyberspace, should be approached with considerable humility. Internet has dramatically affected our lives while frustrating our attempts to understand it and therefore we should be mindful that in the past, great intellects have been undone by the appearance of new phenomena. He gives an example of Adam Smith’s where he devoted only one paragraph to the topic of the emerging phenomenon of the business corporation. He did so because he believed corporations were never going to amount to much. Professor Smith was profoundly wrong. Dr. Donaldson says he may be profoundly wrong also as he ventures into cyberspace to untangle its ethical implications. “In my attempt I am most concerned to separate the old from the new, that is, to discern which value changes we're encountering are really old stuff, like a movie we've seen before but with a different cast, and what is fundamentally new. “ An answer to this question should help us, in turn, to discover how, if at all, the internet promises to change our values and what ethical controversies...

...10 Business Snapshot 1.1 Hedge Funds CHAPTER 1 Hedge funds have become major users of derivatives for hedging, speculation, and arbitrage. A hedge fund is similar to a mutual fund in that it invests funds on behalf of clients. However, unlike mutual funds hedge funds are not required to register under U.S. federal securities law. This is because they accept funds only from ®nancially sophisticated individuals and do not publicly oer their securities. Mutual funds are subject to regulations requiring that shares in the funds be fairly priced, that the shares be redeemable at any time, that investment policies be disclosed, that the use of leverage be limited, that no short positions be taken, and so on. Hedge funds are relatively free of these regulations. This gives them a great deal of freedom to develop sophisticated, unconventional, and proprietary investment strategies. The fees charged by hedge fund managers are dependent on the fund's performance and are relatively highÐtypically 1 to 2% of the amount invested plus 20% of the pro®ts. Hedge funds have grown in popularity with over $1 trillion being invested throughout the world. ``Funds of funds'' have been set up to invest in a portfolio of other hedge funds. The investment strategy followed by a hedge fund manager often involves using derivatives to set up a speculative or arbitrage position. Once the strategy has been de®ned, the hedge fund manager must: 1. Evaluate the risks to which the fund is exposed. 2. Decide...
