...“Everyone’s identity develops over time with the life changes they choose or have forced upon them.” This is evident through the characters of Paul Crabbe and Charlie Kelmeckis in Peter Goldsworthy’s 1989 novel ‘Maestro’ and the 2012 film ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ written and directed by Stephen Chbosky. Paul is the narrator and protagonist of Maestro while Charlie is the narrator and protagonist of Perks. Both the book and the novel are written as memoir, or in Charlie’s case letters, and focus on the protagonist’s transition from youth to adulthood. The Identity of Paul is constantly developing throughout the novel, as new experiences unfold throughout his life. One example of this is the death of Keller and Paul’s responsibility for it. Paul feels responsible for Keller’s death due to his insensitivity towards Keller’s fondness for him. This is proven through...

...Coming of age. It’s not something that happens in an instant, it’s a gradual process that happens over time. It’s kind of like a large melting pot of emotions. A bit of anxiety, mixed with confusion and fear. Each individual’s pot is full of different and in some cases new emotions. These emotions are all ingredients that shape them into who they are as a person. Coming of age is a time of discovering who you are as a person. The question of identity will often spark within the individual and it will affect some more than others. Ultimately, the lasting effect it has on the individual is what makes it one of the most valuable times in a person’s life. The novel, Maestro by Australian author, Peter Goldsworthy is an example of a coming of age...

...“Ah-eh-i-o-u!” With a deep breath, my originally shallow voice projected out of my diaphragm, screaming my individuality. Was that passionate melody really my voice? It was astonishing to hear the unfamiliar vibrant voice, filled with dazzling colors while vocalizing for the first time. The blinding light of reality struck me as I ventured out of Plato’s cave, forcing me to adjust to an unfamiliar, but individualistic finding. Although my parents had initially prompted me to assimilate singing to relieve my boredom, I no longer felt suffocated. Instead, I felt saved from the evil premonition of being unable to grasp the platonic conception of myself and expressing my individuality. Opening a new chapter of my life through my passion for singing,...

...Learnings on Leading People and Teams In this course, I have learned some key elements that are fundamental when dealing with people in a company – and also at home. In the first session, I realized that sometimes people hear to other people say, but they do not listen. Although this may seem obvious, we don’t realize this much, and it is more common than it seems. In the first session I also learnt about the importance (and the dangers) of making assumptions. In the video presented, the boss asked about bringing a new colleague to work with the main character in a political campaign. The main character made assumptions that plain wrong. He was willing to leave his job because he thought that his boss didn’t want him, and felt even threatened by the arrival of a new colleague, when, in fact, his boss really wanted to know his opinion. In the RESAF case, my main learning was before giving someone negative feedback, it’s fundamental to weight in the pros and cons of the outcome of the feedback, and its respective probabilities of happening. For example, if you believe that the person receiving the feedback is highly unlikely to respond negatively to it, maybe it’s better to not even give the feedback. Also, I learned that, when you open your mouth, you lose control – i.e., when you start giving feedback, you can control what you say but not the way the person will perceive it. So, even if you are very polite and “delicate”, the way the other will understand the feedback...

...maximum capacity of 700 people in the capital of the largest country by landmass, Russia. The Chinese have spread the famous stamping, “Made in China” all over almost everything that you can see at home, school, office, just everywhere. But do not count this pearl of the orient out; The Philippines has a wide array of tradition. They go back to centuries ago when the culture was still untapped. They are very well representing the richness of this Island. As time passed, a number of things changed. What once was untapped culture suddenly changed little by little. The Philippines was influenced because of trading and the occupation of the foreigners through food, clothing, buildings, weapons, and dance. I could go on just telling how much change our country has gone through. Some say it is negative since we have forgotten our own culture but for others, it has created progress for the Philippines. A national artist worthy to be talked about is Carlos “Botong” Francisco. Have you ever wondered how dragging it would be to study passed events from our history if there were no pictures? From Angono, Rizal, Francisco was a most distinguished practitioner of mural painting for many decades and best known for his historical pieces. He was one of the first Filipino modernists along with Galo Ocampo and Victorio C. Edades who broke away from Fernando Amorsolo's romanticism of Philippine scenes. To others, Francisco's art "is a prime example of linear painting where lines and contours...

...Theories of criminology Prof. Dr. Ayman Elzeiny Introduction :- What is Theory? Definitions of the theory Vold, Bernard, and Snipes defined it as :- “an explanation … a sensible relating of some particular phenomenon to the whole field of knowledge” On other hand Bohm defined it as “makes statements about the relationship between two classes of phenomena” Williams and McShane defined it as “generalizations of a sort; explains how two or more events are related” . According to Shoemaker the theory is : “a systematic collection of concepts and statements purporting to explain behavior” . And according to Hoover the theory is “a set of related propositions that suggest why events occur”. We can define theory as "Statement of a relationship between two or more propositions and concepts . which explains and/or predicts some behavior ". Introduction to Theories of criminology : There are many "theories" of criminology suggested by many writers. It would not be practical to list them all. a few only that have received some support. The almost prominent schools of criminology Were : The Classical School, "which began about 1755 to 1764" after Beccaria (1738-94) published his famous Essay on Crimes and Punishments; Along with Beccaria, the thinkers of the Classical School were Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Jeremy Bentham, William Blackstone, Samuel Romilly, and others. The Positive School, " which began after the publication of Lombroso's L'uomo...

...years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many positive sides of Franco’s character. An alternative, contemporary view of the dictator, Franco: A Concise Biography written by Gabrielle Hodges focuses on the negative legacy of General Franco. This side of Franco rears its head in many other sources, including Hitler and Spain: The Nazi Role in the Spanish Civil War 936-939, a monograph by Robert H. Whealey. In it he focuses, as the title...

...A Study of Middle Grades Students’ Reading Interests, Habits, and Achievement Nichole Lynnette Smith A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Education in the School of Education. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved By: Dr. Barbara Day Dr. Frank Brown Dr. Sandra Hughes-Hassell Dr. Teresa Petty Dr. Xue Lan Rong i © 2009 Nichole Lynnette Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nichole Lynnette Smith: A Study of Middle Grades Students’ Reading Interests, Habits, and Achievement (Under the direction of Dr. Barbara Day, Advisor) Reading has become an area of concern among the American culture in the past decade. The amount of time the American public spends reading is declining quickly, and its most frequent drop has been among its youngest readers, elementary school students (National Endowment for the Arts, 2004). McKool’s (2007) research has found that there is a “strong relationship between the amount of out-of-school reading a student engages in and his or her success in school” (p. 111). It has also been found that students’ academic levels do not remain the same with no growth, but their academic levels actually drop if they do not read in their free time (Hughes- Hassell & Lutz, 2006). The current literature focuses on younger students, especially those in elementary school. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential differences of what influences...
