...Analysis on "The Hiding Place" Trying to forgive your enemy is like trying to see in the dark, it is nearly impossible. In Corrie Ten Boom's book, The Hiding Place, forgiving her enemies was hard, but her faith in God made it possible. At the very beginning of the book, Corrie Ten Boom introduces the theme of faith by telling about her family and their strong Christian beliefs. She tells about her father, Casper. She explains that he would read the Bible and pray with Corrie and her family twice a day. Corrie's father also loved and respected the Jewish. Along with her father, the author mentions Betsie, her sister. Betsie took care of their home in Haarlem, Holland. In 1940, the Nazis invaded Holland, and World War II began. Due to the Ten Boom's strong Christian beliefs, they felt obligated to help their Jewish friends in every way possible. Their home soon became the center for a major anti-Nazi operation. In order to help her friends, Corrie had to do some sinful things like lie and bribe. Corrie sacrificed her own safety.nd part of her bedroom that became a secret room that was a hiding place for the Jews to have constant safety. The author later tells us that her entire family gets arrested by the Nazis, but the hidden Jews remained safe. Corrie and Betsie were sent to various concentration camps where the conditions were cruel. In every camp, the sisters used a hidden Bible to spread the word of God. Corrie was amazed by Betsie's faith through the ungodly...

...8th period English Analysis Essay for Maus We have all evolved from animals, and even though as humans we are more complex, we are also very similar. In the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegleman, Art chooses to illustrate humans as animals. He portrays different classes and religions as different animals. This impacts the story in a positive way because it deepens the understanding of the characters and also further separates the classes and religions. By using animals instead of people there is an implied background of the nature of that animal which lets the reader have a fuller understanding of the character’s personality and traits. They also widen the gap between the groups by showing the natural hierarchy of the animals. The choice to use animals instead of humans was a positive addition to the story; animals were used in their most simplistic form so the traits that they were given during the time of the holocaust could be more easily understood. An illustration demonstrates this concept by having a Jewish family hiding in a bunker inside a garbage hole. Presented as mice, they were hiding in a hole underground that was filled with garbage, showing that they were cowards and dirty creatures. There is also another illustration where they are hiding from the Nazis, who are portrayed as cats, by crawling through a tunnel, like a mouse hole, to escape into another area. This also shows their sneaky and cowardly actions. Another way in which the...

...At What Cost, do you Save your Civilization? “We must recognize the chief characteristic of the modern era – a permanent state of what I call violent peace.” (Admiral James D. Watkins). It is a leader’s obligation to place the safety of his people no matter the cost. Many will agree that prioritizing the greater good over the well-being of few individuals, for in the end, the most expensive price is the cost of life. While many people think that the film, “Planet of the Apes” by Franklin J. Schaffner, was about, Taylor, a lost American space explorer, trying to figure out where he landed and how to get home. Yet through the simian leader continually trying to kill and tame Taylor shows that Dr. Zaius rightfully places the security of his people...

...American writer David Sedaris is a distinguished person. He has nine “essay collections,” most of which are very commercially successful. It all started with “SantaLand Diaries,” an essay that was the spark to his flaring fame. He is the second of six children and was brought up in North Carolina but has been living in Europe for a long time with his boyfriend Hugh Hamrick. His works receive critical acclaim and adoration from readers and were nominated to and won several awards as well (Wikipedia, “David Sedaris”). Sedaris’ writings are personal essays, which should provide great insight into his personality due to their autobiographical nature. An important feature of him that manifests clearly in his writings and interviews is hiding his weaknesses, which is a part of his perfectionist tendencies. Sedaris always tries to make things funnier than they really are. It is as if he is wearing a mask, a funny one, so that whatever bothers him wouldn’t leak through his façade and reveal his vulnerability to the world. An example of this was obvious in his interview for Dutch TV. He mentioned that his “youngest sister committed suicide” and the devastating effect this had on his family. However, he added that he included funny details in a story he wrote about this incident and his relationship with his deceased sibling. (Brands, “David...

...Almost all digital files can be used for steganography, but the formats of file that are more suitable are those with a high degree of redundancy. Redundancy can be defined as object bits that provide accuracy far greater than necessary for the object’s use and demonstration. The repetitive bits of an object are those bits that can be altered without the alteration being detected easily. Image and video files especially comply with this requirement, while research has also uncovered other file manuscripts that can be used for data hiding. This paper is mainly concentrating about image and video as carriers and their performance analysis based on its PSR and MSE...

...Who Am I 8/1/2015 This self-analysis gives an idea of who I am, what I believe in, what kinds of behaviors I have, what my gender roles are, what social influences I have, what I see as my group dynamics, and how I feel about relationships. This is all about me and who I am inside as a person, my very own self- analysis. I have changed a lot over the last few years so if I had written this a few years ago I am sure it would have been answered differently. I am a survivor. I believe myself to be a survivor because I have brought myself to a place in my life that will keep me alive. I have battled with drugs and alcohol for most of my life and have been clean for 7 years now, all of my own doing. I have lived on the streets and fought battles with myself teaching myself to live independent of others to survive. I am independent. I can live on my own and take care of myself and my family without the help of others. I have been to the bottom of the worst places in life and that has taught me to not be carless with what I have, and know that I can lose it all again in the blink of an eye. I am happy. I enjoy life. I have lived my life in dark places for so long. I love life so much now. I enjoy family and friends and all of the time I have with them, knowing that every day I wake is another blessing to me. I have to say I believe myself to be both independent and interdependent. I think independent because of all that I have achieved in my life because of all of the heartaches...

...Article ACC/291 April 25, 2012 Effect of Unethical Behavior Article Analysis The Sarbanes-Oxley act was created in 2002 and was put in place because their needed to be some guidelines in accounting to prevent fraudulent activities from occurring. In the 1990’s businesses would create false financial statements in hopes to raise their stock prices to get more investors. The most notable company to crash was Enron, followed by Global Crossing which is the parent of MCI, and Xerox; later, almost one thousand publicly traded companies restated their financial statements. This resulted in almost $6 trillion of stock market value disappearing (Cunningham, 2003). I decided to do more research to see how many scandals such as these have occurred over the years before the act was created. Phar-Mor Scandal was a popular chain of drugstores in the 90’s. They were accused of mail fraud, embezzlement, bank fraud and transportation of funds received from theft or fraud. Once these illegal activities were discovered, it eventually leads to bankruptcy and over 5,000 employees out of work. Another Scandal happened with the Lehman Brothers Holding Inc, a financial service firm. This scandal began to take place in early 2000’s and was discovered in 2011. This company was caught hiding a debt of 155 billion in bonds and a debt of 639 billion of assets. The company also failed to let their investors know of their financial...

...115 Double loop learning in organizations By uncovering their own hidden theories of action, managers can detect and correct errors Chris Argyris Why are employees reluctant to report to the top that one of their company's products is a "loser" and why can't the vice presidents of another company reveal to their president the spectacular lack of success of one of the company's divisions? The inability to uncover errors and other unpleasant truths arises from faulty organizational learning, says this author. Such habits and attitudes, which alJow a company to hide its problems, lead to rigidity and deterioration.

Chris Argyris is James Conant Professor of Education and Organizational Behavior at Harvard University, and is the author of numerous publications on executive leadership and organizational effectiveness.
