...The Great Gatsby’s third chapter mainly focuses on Nick’s first encounter, with the shrouded character of Jay Gatsby. Nick meets Gatsby at one of his gaudy parties; at which Nick seems to be “one of the few guests who had actually been invited”. Nick, of course, is employed by Fitzgerald and used to frame this chapter. Our established retrospective narrator writes in the subjective first person, meaning we only get his point of view of events; this peripheral style of narration generates intrigue within the reader, as Fitzgerald deliberately doesn’t want us guessing everything .In Jay McInerney’s article on ‘Gatsby’, he writes “Fitzgerald’s best narrators always seem to be partaking of the festivities even as they shiver outside with their noses pressed up against the glass.” I have to concur with McInerney here, as this quote sums up Nick’s narrative style completely. Nick is “within and without”, constantly on the outskirts of events, observing. From this it would be easy to conclude that Nick is a very dull narrator, whose appearance in the novel is only to mask Fitzgerald; so that Fitzgerald can get his opinions and views on this hedonistic lifestyle across. However, that is not the case, as Nick accommodates many aspects which pair with a good narrator. Nick is undoubtedly “one of the few honest people that I have ever known” and through his powerful quality of reservation, Fitzgerald allows other characters to express themselves and develop. This makes the novel more accessible...

...or European bistros. Their success is also gained by the notion that they do not appear to have any corporate appearance. Savor is also dedicated to only handle the freshest ingredients to their customers whenever possible. They build great relationships from local businesses where they get their food. Along with Savor comes the great chefs that makes Savor unique. Executive Chef Rob is a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. Alongside Chef Rob is the renowned Chef Maria. Chef Rob creates unique combinations of menus including great wine selections where the wine is from the Italian winery, Stefano Farino. When Savor was announced, Anna had an opportunity to co-run the restaurant. Little did she know, she will soon be in charge of Catering. A major challenge Anna will have to tackle, despite the success of Savor, is the fact the catering business is competitive where three major catering companies, Brandeis, Upstream, and Ryan’s Bistro, are dominating the catering business. Problem Identification Savor itself is a very successful restaurant despite the downturn of the economy. Where it lacks is the restaurant only seats 115 customers and little is known about the catering clienteles. Compared to its three...

...this assignment I recorded my complete daily food intake for three consecutive days. During this three day time period I would say that all of the food that I consumed was a great example of my daily diet. They are the foods that I do normally eat, and with that being said this three day food intake armed me with some important information about my diet. I have learned a great deal about my diet in these short three days. I learned a great deal about my normal, or usual, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake. I must say that I was genuinely surprised at the results of looking at my carbohydrate, protein, and lipid intake. I gained a majority of protein from three different food sources: New York strip steak which afforded me a whopping 90.3 grams of protein, Roasted turkey meat (no skin) –which gave me 24.9 grams of protein, and deviled eggs which I gained 17.9 grams of protein from. I must say that I was quite surprised by the protein intake from the deviled eggs. Looking over the summary for the three days I was highly surprised by my high volume of carbohydrate intake. It seems as though a great deal of food that I consume on a daily basis is packed full of carbohydrates. The top sources from which I consumed the most carbohydrates is as follows: New York strip steak (64.8 grams), Bagels (31.0 grams), and Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and meatballs (28.6 grams). I also had a pretty high daily lipid intake. The three foods that I gained my highest lipid intake from was Jimmy Dean...

...Wells College and I care for my great grandma, Zelda Klaczko, three times a week. She is a retired, very polite, strong-willed, independent woman that doesn’t like to ask for help or rely on anyone, that has volunteered at a local church in Camillus for several years. My great grandma had a stroke on April 26th, 2018 the day before my uncle Doug passed away on April 27th 2018 from cancer. With finals right around the corner, I had to learn how to grieve, cope, and adjust to caring for my great grandma three days out of the week, on-top of my part-time job and studying for finals that started on May 7th. I definitely overworked myself the last couple of weeks of school. Though it wasn’t easy, I was able to adjust to my new lifestyle without my uncle and with caring for great grandma. Due to stress, grieving, being a full-time student, being a caregiver for my great grandma, and working part-time at Wegmans, I had gotten very little sleep, but despite all of this I was able to ace all of my finals. I’ve been there to help her get better and feel some sort of normalcy after both of the devastating events in April from...

It is mainly about the seven steps to constructing a system to turn a good or even bad company to a great company.

...What Makes a Society Great – The Roman Empire as Example It is important to study the characteristics of a great society. Throughout history, there have been many societies that were great and many that were failures. In order to advance mankind and countries today, lessons can be learned from the past. There are many characteristics that are present in great societies. However, some of these qualities are more important than others. The three main characteristics that make a society great are a high quality of life, economic prosperity, and democracy. This essay explains why these three characteristics can make a society great and illustrates these qualities using the example of the Roman Empire. Quality of Life and Basic Needs It is extremely important for a society to meet the essential needs of all citizens and to provide a good quality of life. According to Randy Schutt in Inciting Democracy, in a good society, every person would have their basic human needs met (14). Basic human needs include: air, water, food, clothing, shelter, and safety from harm. A good quality of life includes meeting all basic human needs and also involves living an enjoyable life. According to Panos Mourdoukoutas and Abraham Stefanidis, “quality of life allows people to enjoy their wealth, advancing their personal and public lives.” Roman Empire Example For citizens in the Roman Empire, the quality of life was high and all basic human needs were met. Rome offered various entertainments for...

...assignment I chose three different fast food restaurants; The Dog House, Gene and Jude’s Hot Dogs and Wiener’s Circle. All three are fast food restaurants in three different Chicagoland areas. Their main specialty is the Chicago style hot dog. All three serve a great hot dog yet the businesses are very different. 1. The employees do their tasks in a similar way. Each place has an order taker that provides customer service. At the Dog House you are greeted by a very polite cashier, you place your order with her, take your ticket number and wait for your food. The kitchen staff makes your food and then another employee barks out your order number. Self serve on the beverages while you wait for your food. At Gene and Jude’s Hot Dogs you stand in a very long line and are greeted by an employee who you place your order with. Then you move along in what seems like a cafeteria line while they make your food in plain sight. Everyone behind the counter is working quickly to fill the orders made. You feel like cattle just moving along and quickly receive your food with a heart-felt thank you. At Weiner’s Circle there is also a long line and you place your order with the cashier. Here the cashier has a major attitude on purpose. The attitude of the staff is the shtick of the place as well as the food. Kitchen staff, in a kitchen that is visible, prepares the food as you wait and watch others abused by the cashier. All three have great food and their own...

...class, we did an experiment on which paper towel brand absorbs the best. My hypothesis was that If I test three different brands of paper towels, then Bounty will be the most absorbent. First, we took out one sheet of three different kinds of paper towels (Bounty, Viva and Great Value) and we cut them into 2 cm x 28 cm each. Next, we filled a graduated cylinder and we filled it to 25 milliliters, and we had to look at each tic mark on the graduated cylinder to make sure that our measurement was exact. After that, we put a strip of one of the paper towels into the graduated cylinder and we used an eyedropper to help push the strip of paper into the graduated cylinder. Then, we waited a few seconds to let the strip of paper absorb the water,...

...Book Report Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t (Jim Collins, 1996) In his book “Good to Great” Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" Collins and a devoted team of 22 researchers embarked to discover what transforms good companies into truly great companies. To begin the research for the Good-to-Great study, they searched for companies that: performed at or below the general stock market for at least fifteen years; then at a transition point began to pull away from the competition, and sustained returns of at least 3 times the general market for the next fifteen years. They started with a list of 1,435 companies that appeared on the Fortune 500 list from 1965 to 1995 and ended up with only 11 that made the cut. These eleven companies produced, on average, a return of 6.9 times the general stock market during the 15 years following the transition points. Collins chose a 15-year span to avoid "one-hit wonders" and lucky breaks. The companies that were selected were Abbott Laboratories, Circuit City, Federal Home Loan Mortgage, Gillette, Kimberly-Clark, Kroger, Nucor, Philip Morris, Pitney Bowes, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo. In the book, Collins highlights some important factors which are the result of the research. Although there are several factors involved for taking a company from good to great', what these great companies turned out to have in common was a particular kind of leader...

...Time Traveling Wanda Castro HUM 205 November 16, 2014 Mark Gainey Time Traveling My name is Wanda Castro and I am a world-renowned art historian and author.

Today I will take you on a journey along with me; we will make three stops to three different time-periods exploring art from three civilizations.

The Sumerian King Urnammu (Nanna) and his son Shulgi built the ziggurat in approximately the 21st century BC during the Third Dynasty of Ur, in dedication to the moon God Nanna. They were believed to be dwelling places for the gods and each city had its own patron God. Only priests were permitted on the ziggurat or in the rooms at its base, and it was their responsibility to care for the gods and attend to their needs. The priests were very powerful...

...Secular Organizations and Sacred Places Paper Team C Tammy Gillespie, Mary Gurganus, Nicole Plescher, Charles Zack, Joseph Cruz HUM 105 University of Phoenix April 11, 2011 Introduction Sacred places are critical elements in the mythic traditions that Team C has been studying and the stories surrounding the world’s myths are important as well. The stories surrounding the sacred places are important as the mythic breaks into today’s present high technological world, with the boundary crossings from the past to the present world today. The stories can come from a sacred sight, a secular organization, or some site with supernatural revelation that can link the past to the present with the myths (stories) told about an ancient people, or an ancient civilization through the myths. Stories about sacred places allow today’s humanity to see past versus present, realistic versus mythological, or spiritual versus materialistic (University of Phoenix, 2011). Team C ran across an article that showed a new sacred site in today’s world that will seem ancient to the future generations, but not for today’s generation...
