...Rodolpho may only want to be in a relationship with her for his American citizenship. While directing this scene, my intensions would be for the audience to feel sympathy for Eddie and a sadness for Catherine. As well as this, I would also want them to feel a new unease towards Rodolpho as this will be the first time the audience will see that Rodolpho may have ulterior motives for his relationship with Catherine. I would stage this play on a proscenium stage as I would want the audience to feel like they are a fly on the wall in the Carbone household. This would really help with the naturalism of the play. Downstage right is where I would have the phone box located which is used at the end of the play. I would have the phone box glow brighter and brighter throughout the play until the scene in which it...

People generally don’t like change and once they get used to something, they like to stay with it. 2. In 25 words or less, and in your own words, summarize the author's prediction about Apple's future success. Apple’s margins may start to fall sharply but that doesn’t mean they won’t be successful. Bet on Microsoft to put their hat into the ring. 3. Based on the factors discussed in the article (e.g., the rise of HTML5), are future prospects brighter for Apple or Google? Defend your answer. Prospects are brighter for Google, simply because there is more areas in which to grow. The rise of HTML5 makes it less expensive for Google to operate the same principles and that is where they will take advantage. Consumers are looking for lower prices and better deals. Apple has loyal customers, called, “Apple-ites,” however; other customers are looking for lower pricing; especially if the device can do virtually the same things as an Apple product. Also, Google is acquiring a manufacturing arm that has yet to grow into many markets such as TV and PC. Google can now force other OEM's to better the build quality of its devices and most importantly do whatever it...

...burial scene of Count Orgaz and a heaven scene with Christ above them. This painting is the most intriguing for El Greco’s use of two focal points. In El Greco’s career The Burial of Count Orgaz is widely accepted as his greatest work. In describing the painting itself it is divided into two sections, one being a burial scene of Count Orgaz in the lower half portion of the artwork, and a scene of heaven with Christ and the saints swirling overhead among thin silky clouds. The two distinct sections of this artwork give the painting two focal points, which the eyes are drawn towards. The section of the artwork depicting heaven has Christ as a focal point, he is centered at the very top of the painting with virtually every figure around him looking up with some motioning towards him. Christ is dressed in white robe, and the figures surrounding Christ vary from Saints to musicians, angles, multitudes of followers, and the Virgin Mary. The figures all seem to be swirling among silky clouds around Christ which gives each figure a distinct position and proportion in the painting, some closer up and distinctive, other more further away and faded. The burial scene directly below the heavens has the Count Orgaz as the focal point and he is positioned near the lowest part of the painting and perpendicular to Christ. The mourners around the Count Orgaz are dressed in formal coats of black and all are similarly positioned in the background. The Count Orgaz himself is richly dressed in the foreground...

...* * * While looking at these two master pieces, I can see that both artist used a similar art style to represent night and day. With van Gough's I have always liked the way the darker colors show how the stars can come out in the night sky. LeWitt's art work I personally have never seen but the he uses the same types of color while staying true with the visual design of van Gough. The difference between the two pieces is that the lines are completely making the flow and the artist original to the other. van Gough's Starry Night uses the curve of the lines to bring the stars to live as balls of light,, like what people thought they were back then. LeWitt's shows us with the lines coming from the sun, how hot that particular day was for that gentleman to work out side in the field. With the lines in either curved or straight people can see the aspects of how differently each artwork can be. I do not believe that the artists can swap in the linage of the other and get the same effect they were going for. * * * * * This piece of artwork shows how people in higher society in Europe lived back then. With the numerous children in fancy clothes, a large hallway with many pieces of artwork on the walls this was living. We can only imagine what the artist is painting in the artwork but I do believe that they are doing a family portrait of the children. Velazquez brought shadows and light into this piece to bring out hoe formal a...

...The American Sun: The African Immigrant Experience I remember the day. I remember the day that I came to America. On that spring day, I remember getting off the plane in New York City with my children. It was a sunny day. I remember the African sun in great detail, but for some reason, the sun was much bigger and brighter in United States. You would think it would be just the opposite coming to a northern climate, but the sun seemed, in fact, much bigger and brighter. We had made it. What an unbelievable adventure, but we had finally made it to the United States. The airport seemed like a hive of honeybees buzzing about in hurried chaos. I told my children, “Stay together. We have to keep an eye out for Aunt Emmy. She will be picking us up.” My kids were so young, all they did was look and laugh in their playful way. They had no idea of the significance of our trip. They...

...using oil paint. In the painting, one can see a boat on the lake with two sailors. One sailor is a man, and the other is a woman. The woman in the boat is decently dressed, and she is peddling the boat. The man is gazing at the large landscape at the end of the lake. At both edges of the lake, there is a landscape covered with big bush. At a distance, there is another boat occupied by two sailors. The two sailors at the distant boat can be seen conversing with each other. The sky is very brighter with scattered brown clouds indicating that it was on a summer evening (Leiber, Alden, Mœglin-Delcroix, & Purves, T. 2001). From the look, the painting represents a couple enjoying a date at the lakeside on a summer evening. However, the man is depicted as naïve looking on how he is dressed and is being distracted by the large landscape covered with bushes. The woman is seen gesturing her to concentrate. There is another couple in the other boat that is seen enjoying their time by looking at how they are communicating. The lady in the big boat has diverted her attention to the couple in the other boat, and it can be interpreted that she wishes she could be comfortable in the other boat. Analysis The work is a representation of romance and women...

...always look forward to “slaying the dragon,” as fire is referred to in a fire house. But fire fighting in the south has taken a backseat to the new kid on the block which is medical calls. The bottom line is this a career in which people get into to help others and to provide the best outcome possible in dangerous situations whether it be a raging fire or a serious medical injury. The problem with this is the standard of excellence is starting to decline. The reason is due to the three factors I have note previously and I will look into explaining each. Lets first look into rookie firefighters. They are often new young men and women looking to develop their first career in life. They are fresh out of the fire academy, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) school, Paramedic school or a combination of both. They are wet behind the eyes looking for guidance with hunger in their eyes. No wait that is what they should look like. Instead most of the time these individuals come into the service thinking they know everything at hand because they have been through school though they lack on the street experience. They are called Generation X. These Generation X individuals have a different outlook on self expectations and respect for authority. (Goblet 2013) The become what we call 6-22s, six months on the job acting as if they have been there for 22 years. Unlike previous generations with discipline and structure this one lacks both. Not all individuals but the majority of them. They...

...arrived to the house in the evening, I looked up and I was able to see the stars that lit up the sky above me. As I walk down to the lake, I was able to hear the crickets’ chirping and the owls hooting as they hear the crackling of the snow that I’m stepping upon. As I look through the horizon of the snow, I saw the never ending slope falling towards the lake that apparently was frozen. As I sat on one of the unfrozen steps, I looked up once again, and I see the beautiful full moon sitting on a cloud. The stars shined even brighter when the moon glistened its light down to Earth. The lake looked really calm and I only saw a couple of ripples being caused by a female duck and her ducklings swimming in the middle of the lake. In the morning when I looked outside the window, the sun shined beautifully through the icicles that dangled down the side of the house. When I drove down to the city, you can see the cities that are at sea level. As I continued looking down, I see the clouds climbing up the mountains. And as I reach out of the car’s window, I can feel the refreshing mist that touches my fingertips. The scenery of the cities down below can’t no longer be seen because of the clouds the cover the scene like a...

...new that I’ve not seen. Well I realized that I could not have been more incorrect. Prior to taking Humanities I simply enjoyed looking at art. Through my studies so far I’ve learned to truly appreciate art, the time it takes to design and create art and the thought process in involved with selection. I feel that my eyes were not truly seeing art they were merely looking at the art. Thru the same eyes I now see the beauty in colors, lighting, lines, contour, space, technique and so much more. One can never realize how amazing art is until one learns about art and learns to appreciate it. [pic] Martha and Mary Magdalene, by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio painted about 1598. This was found in the European Inspired by Italia wing of the DIA. The approximate size of the painting is six feet. The medium chosen for this creation of art was oil and tempera on canvas. The title did not help me interpret what I was seeing in this painting as I had not read nor heard about such a story from childhood. When looking over the painting I noticed several things that appear to me to be of importance such as; the difference in clothing, the mirror, the flower, the box on the table, the reflection of light in the mirror, and the expressions on each face. The artist uses warm colors but chose to accentuate Mary’s status by using a deeper brighter red as well as a deeper green. This makes it seem as if Mary’s clothes may have cost more, or as if her taste had been more elegant...

...What is Emotional Intelligence: Emotional Intelligence, or EI, is defined as the ability or capacity to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, and of others.� Arriving at the Emotional Quotient is the standard means of measuring the Emotional Intelligence of an individual. | The importance of EQ in the workplace: In recent times behavioral scientists around the world have arrived at the conclusion that IQ alone is not the primary factor that leads to better performing managers and workers. The role of EQ in determining the performance of individual�s at the workplace is now widely recognized and well understood. People with more emotional intelligence have been found to be better leaders and workers, bettering their lower-EQ counterparts on important traits such as leadership, decision making skills, self control, empathy, teamwork, self-confidence and orientation to achieve higher goals. | In today�s fast paced business environment, a well balanced handling of relationships and emotions play a crucial role in achieving success. Emotions play an important role in decision making and strategy formulation, allowing people with higher EQ to handle work related situations more efficiently. | Your Overall EQ Score: This EQ test is based on the standard five personality traits related to EQ and which have been proposed by Reuven Bar-On, namely: 1.Interpersonal EQ (social responsibility / empathy) 2.Intrapersonal EQ (emotional self-awareness) 3.Adaptability...

...Antonio Allen BA-316-BL 3/30/2015 Financial Issue Paper Could our economy possibly be suffering because the industry is not looking at the bigger picture and instead looks at short term goals? That is the belief of some as Rana Foroohar states in her article for Time, “…because finance looks for quick growth rather than long-term rewards” (Foroohar). Her response is to that of a paper written by Stephen G. Cecchetti, a professor at Brandeis International Business School and a senior economist from BIS, Enisse Kharroubi asking why the financial sector growth out crowds the real economic growth. From another perspective comes the view that financialization has brought a systematic transformation to the capitalist economy. A four part interview printed on Truthout with Costas Lapavitas takes a look on the brighter side of how the industry has been doing great things for the economy over the past few decades. Foroohar says that because the industry invests in industries such as real estate and construction instead of in industries with more life behind them like technology or pharmaceuticals that is another reason for economic growth to be put on the back burner. Finance tends to rise from “…lower capital investment in the real economy, greater inequality, and the demise of more productive industries.” (Foroohar). This puts into perspective just why the economic growth seems to be non-existent while financial firms continues to rise. There is also the interesting point...

...genie” and the individual having an endless amount of free wishes. It emphasises that it is important that you feel good; the more you feel good, the more you will attract things that make you feel good. This concept is very empowering and motivating. It makes me feel that I can take on the world once I have a positive attitude to life and the endless riches that are available for me. The law of attraction states that it is present in abundance for each person and this is good news for me; I want to manifest greatness in all I endeavour to pursue. In preparation for the gruelling five years ahead of me in medical sciences, I thought it imperative to rejuvenate my beliefs in this life changing “way of life”. I rummaged through my bookshelf looking for the book “Laws of attraction, by Esther and Jerry Hicks and downloaded “The Secret” online. I wanted to ensure that my mind and consciousness in my thought patterns would fully support me as I endeavour to achieve academic success and excellence. After all, I am only following through on the work I had already begun, attracting and manifesting greatness. However, it brings about an awareness of how I must be in tune with the nature of my thoughts as even a negative thought can also...

...to melt as snow. Over the greatness of such space Steps must be gentle. It is all hung by an invisible white hair. It trembles as birch limbs webbing the air. And I ask myself: “Are your fingers long enough to play Old keys that are but echoes: Is the silence strong enough To carry back the music to its source And back to you again As though to her?” Yet I would lead my grandmother by the hand Through much of what she would not understand; And so I stumble. And the rain continues on the roof With such a sound of gently pitying laughter. (Thiel, 2005, pp. 295-296) The imagery in this poem is very rich and vivid. At the beginning I see a darkness that is beginning to be lite up by fond memories, like a candle getting brighter and brighter. I can hear rain falling on the roof at the same time. The granddaughter has found some letters, perhaps in an attic. The letters are old and brown with age. And with age paper becomes brittle and could fall apart without much help. As she starts to open the letters she comes to the realization that she must be very careful. She is questioning whether or not she should read it. The sound of the rain falling on the roof sounds to...
