...The Affect that Emily Grierson has of the Old South and the New South “A Rose for Emily” is one of William Faulkner’s strangest, most unusual, and famous short stories ever because of its unique plot. The story focuses on Miss Emily Grierson, the unknown mystery of her life, the views of the Old South about Miss Grierson, and the views of the New South about her. Some critics say that Miss Emily Grierson was “one of the strongest, strangest, and most memorable character in any of Faulkner’s short fiction stories” (Kriewald 1). In the beginning of the story, the author describes Emily as a very popular person. Although she was very popular, she was also very different. Most people from the Old South had changed their lifestyle as the time progressed, but not Emily. She stayed the same and nobody could change that. Emily is affected by the change of time, but she doesn’t the change in time change her life. Miss Emily Grierson was one of the most isolated and unknown people in the town of Jefferson, and she made everyone in the town wonder what kind of person she was. Miss Emily represents the Old South, and when she died, everyone in the town went to her funeral: “the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one had seen in at least ten years”(Faulkner, 548). One of the major symbols of Miss Grierson was her house. Her house was one that was build during the Civil War, and...

...Structure & Development of the New South Wales (NSW) Primary Curriculum The New South Wales Primary Curriculum provides the framework for the outcomes based education currently in use in all Public schools in New South Wales. This essay will present a brief overview of the structure, definition, goals, influences, processes and show how it meets the needs of current and future learners. Drawing from various sources, an examination of the curriculums content and foundation, will provide a snapshot of where the educational direction is headed. Curriculum Structure and Development In 2004 the Board of Studies NSW developed the consultation paper, Defining Mandatory Outcomes in the K–6 Curriculum, which also involved surveys, submissions and state-wide consultation meetings with teachers across NSW. This process helped to bring about the current NSW Primary Curriculum Foundations Statements. Collaborating with teachers and educational professionals the statements developed by the board of studies NSW give clear direction of what must be taught through each of the stages of learning in the K-6 curriculum (The Board of Studies NSW, 2007). The NSW Primary Curriculum is structured into six key learning areas (KLA’s), English; Mathematics; Science and Technology; Human Society and its Environment; Creative Arts; and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). The KLA’s, along with the syllabus, remain at the core of planning and programming, and are broken...

...Mining Law Mining law is a very broad topic, but basically, Mining and Mineral exploration law is dealt with under the New South Wales System of Regulation under the Mining Act 1992 and the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 and accompanying Regulations. These acts of parliament are essential in order to understand the way that the the regulation of mining operates in New South Wales. Many people are unaware that despite owning land, you do not necessarily own the mineral titles which are found on the land and that these can be resumed by the government if there is no license. For this reason a mining licence is necessary to establish the correct title to a mine if the minerals are under the jurisdiction of New South Wales Law. Administratively, this area is handled by the department of primary industries in New South Wales. The Mining Industry has a large body of law and regulations The Department fulfils a number of functions in the administration of mining title in New South Wales. It creates records of exploration licenses, assesses leases and processes mining lease applications. The headquarters of the Department of primary industries in New South Wales is Maitland. The department keeps a register of mineral titles and prospecting licenses. The Department also maintains the computerised Title Administration System (TAS). The overall function of the system of mining title is to provide the control mechanism for government by allowing the government to dictate the operating...

...Australia, Land of the Opposites Have you ever wondered about what lives in Australia? Have you ever thought in visiting this distant country? Australia is a very diverse country, with some outstanding places, such as Tasmania, as well as some places that are not that attractive, as is the example of New South Wales. These ideas are depicted in Text A and B through rich imagery, tone and descriptive diction. In Text A which is an advertisement to visit, “Tasmania, land of adventure, extreme beauty and diverse landscapes”(Tasmaniacs) rich imagery of beautiful sites is used to convince the reader to visit this interesting place. An example of this pleasant imagery can be seen when the author says “warm yellow and burnt oranges kiss the calm turquoise waters”. This imagery makes the reader feel as if he is in the beach seeing this beautiful scene, where the colors of the sky touch the water in a remarkable way. On the other hand, Text B uses imagery to show how uninviting the Australian territory of New South Wales is. Imagery is excessively used to show how bad the Australian territory is in this journal of an expedition into the interior of Australia. The author observes how the “bushes were so thickly intermingled” that the horses could not pass through. It is possible to picture how tight these bushes were and how transport was difficult in this territory. Another element used to convince the reader of how the Australian territory is, is the use of tone. On...

It is more common for ski areas to exist well away from towns, and the term ski area is used for a destination area, often purpose-built and self-contained (naturally), where skiing is the main activity at that areas. Ski areas refer to commercial ski fields operated by clubs or companies, be they downhill, cross-country or Nordic, as well as their associated facilities. Sometime that area can be indoor area designed and developed to skiing from a commercial perspective like what we find at Australia called IN2SKI (http://in2ski.com.au/) which is an indoor ski slope, and offers more than 30 sliding activities including skiing, boarding, air boarding, tubing...

These gold rushes also changed the face of Australia a lots. 2.0 The gold rushes 3.1 In New South Wales New South Wales was one of the wealthiest state in Australia at that time and gold was discovered as early as 1823 when Government Surveyor, J. McBrien found some in the Fish River near Bathurst. This event and the mass exodus of fortune-seekers to the Californian goldfields form1848 caused the New South Wales government to introduce the highest reward of 10000 for anybody who discovered a goldfield. And the first strike was made by Edward Hargraves, who had just returned from unlucky Californian goldfield where he spend 18 months for his working, in February 1851 at Summer Hill Creek, near Bathurst and he named “ Ophir” for this place.

...times larger than those of H&M, H&M had grown quickly and passed Gap in 2009. However, Spain’s Inditex, with its fast-fashion chain, Zara, had done even better. It passed H&M in sales in 2005 and, by 2011, had also become more profitable. H&M had also lagged behind Inditex in supply pipeline speed, brand diversification, online retail presence, and expansion into China. Meanwhile, the world’s leading hypermarket chains, including Wal-Mart and Tesco, were making significant headway in apparel. In 2012, CEO Karl-Johan Persson, grandson of the company’s founder Erling Persson, promised increased expansion into underdeveloped markets, a stronger push to online retailing, and the launch of a major new retail brand. He noted, “We are looking forward to an exciting 2013 full of new opportunities. We have great respect for the macroeconomic climate and how it may affect consumption in many of our markets, but we believe strongly in our offering and are convinced that H&M will continue to maintain its strong position.”1 Whether Persson’s plans were enough to catch up with Inditex remained to be seen. H&M Early History Erling Persson, a former pen salesman, opened H&M’s first store in Sweden in 1947 to provide women’s fashionable clothes at very low prices. Over the years,...

Australia has 19 listed World Heritage properties. Australia is also famous for its landmark buildings including the Sydney Harbour Bridge; its ancient geology, as well as for its high country. The majority of Australia experiences temperate weather for most of the year. The northern states of Australia are typically warm all the time, with the southern states experiencing cool winters but rarely sub-zero temperatures. Snow falls on the higher mountains during the winter months, enabling skiing in southern New South Wales and Victorian ski resorts, as well as the smaller resorts in Australia's island state, Tasmania. As of October 2012, Australia's population is roughly 22.7 million people. The most populous states are New South Wales and Victoria, with their respective capitals, Sydney and Melbourne, the largest cities in Australia.

...1. Phillip Island is located south-southeast from Melbourne cbd. 2. The aim of the fieldwork investigation is to look at geographical characteristics to Phillip Island including social, economic, environmental political and technological features to the area. Also looking at management strategies to the island, the spacial interaction, spacial association, and change over time. 3. Phillip islands dates back to 40,000 years to the Bunurong tribes, the original inhabitants of the Western Port region. Phillip Island was named after Arthur Phillip whom was the first governor of New South Wales in 1788. In the same year, Phillip Island was visited by George Bass in January, in which he became the first European to visit the island. George entered the western port bay from a trip from New South Wales in a whale Boat. He then returned to the island with Matthew Flinders arriving at Rhyll and calling it “Snapper Island”. A memorial of the arriving is located at near the pier of Rhyll. Church Hill Island which was discovered in 1798, later named by James Grant, was the site of the first European settlement in Victoria. Phillip island is also known for its motor racing history. The circuit was created with the island roads and was the original Australian grand prix in 1928 until 1935. In 1956, the circuit was constructed into a grand prix circuit which held the Armstrong 500. The event then located to Bathurst in 1963, over a period of time evolved and became the Bathurst 1000...

...Location For this theme of geography I chose a map that labels all the cities in Australia. This is an appropriate choice because it shows not only the absolute location, but the relative location as well. It shows the absolute location (33.8650° south, 151.2094° east) because the map has latitude and longitude labeled. It shows relative location because the cities near Sydney are labeled. For example if someone was describing where Sydney was in relation to other Australian cities they might say “I live near Carberra” or “I live east of Adelaides”. Both these cities and others are labeled in the map of the cities of Australia. This is why this map is a good choice to represent the location of Sydney. B. Place To represent place I chose a picture of Sydney’s seaport, combined with two caucasian Australians saying “G’day mate”. I also added a famous church in Sydney, St. James, to the skyscrapers and other buildings. Sydney’s seaport represents how Sydney’s physical features include a lot of water (specifically seas). The two caucasian Australians saying “G’day mate” represent human characteristics in Australia. The majority of people living in Sydney are the race of Caucasian and this is why I chose these two people. They are saying “G’day mate” because in Australia they speak English, but they speak with different phrases than we would use in the United States. I also added a famous church in Sydney to the...

...jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me!" Dorothea Mackellar [ (Baskerville, 2009) ] You could easily spend three to four weeks discovering all of Australia. However if time were limited, then a short weeklong “walkabout” to the area of your choice would do. Australia is divided into six states each with a different landscape and cultural difference: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia. AUSTRALIA Prepare for your Australian trip, by learning about the currency; how to place a phone call; and what to do if a medical or safety emergency happens. Approximately, 85 percent of the people of Australia live in the southeastern quarter of the country, especially in large cities along the coast. The vast interior of Australia is too dry to support a large population, and few people live there. The eastern Highlands, sometimes called the Great Dividing Range because their slopes divide the flow of the rivers in the region. Australia lies between the Indian and South Pacific oceans. Australia is often referred to as being “down under” because it lies entirely within the Southern Hemisphere.
