    After watching a few commercials from this year’s Super Bowl Football game, the one that caught my eye the most was the 2012 Chevy Silverado Apocalypse. It was humorous, creative, and got the point across to the audience. Compared to the other commercials of this year’s Super Bowl those were the qualities that stuck out more so. The commercial effective with the way it played out and was well set up.…

    Providing a course of action allows the team to stay focused. “Team expectations are the sum of the individual performance factors and can be advanced only by individual accountability” (Porter-O 'Grady & Mallock, 2007, pg. 222). Once the team knows the expectations they can take their course to accomplish what is required. Taking into account the weaknesses and strengths of each member can allow the manager to assign tasks appropriately to members (Enescu, & Popescu, 2012). If a task is given to someone who struggles with the form of work, it can affect the time frame that may be given to achieving the goal. A manager looks at motivation to help improve those who are struggling and addresses learning needs (Porter-O’Grady & Mallock, 2007). Education can help implementation when there is a complication in task, or a procedure is not concise. Change implementation is done correctly can help improve both the staff and the…

    Donald Halls’ “A Hundred Thousand Straightened Nails” is a symbolic presentation of the decay of New Hampshire the author uses the life of Washington Woodward to show the pointless existence that is experienced in a place as lifeless as New Hampshire. He uses the contrast of his own opinion and the beliefs of Woodward to show how after a while it is impossible to escape a pointless mindset. Washington finds joy in discarded relics such as old nails, and wood, and finds simple joy in simple life. He settled on life, in his lifeless town and spent his life with his animals, his stories, his beliefs and his box of “A Hundred Thousand Straightened Nails.”(Hall)…

    As someone not overly tolerant of military conflict, in light of the divisive war in Iraq and considering the unpopular nature of the Vietnam War in U.S. society; I decided to choose Tim O'Brien's account of combat in Vietnam in "The Things They Carried." I found outside commentary on this story by searching for reviews and analyses of the work on EBSCO Host, the university research database. I also surveyed the commentaries in The Story and Its Writer to add substance to my own analysis of the story. The most useful sources were the more scholarly ones that came from EBSCO host in journals like Critique and the Explicator.…

    “Give me liberty or give me death.” (henry). This is a famous quote from the talented American revolunist Patrick Henry. It was said that henry could position his audience to anger, fear or laughter more sudden then professional actors. He showed this talent in his Speech at the Virginia Conventiomn. The most popular poets and writers uses multiple techniques and strategies to grasp their audience attention. The rhetorical devices include pathos, that appeals to emotion, ethos, which means authority, logos introduces logic. Many revolunist uses the rhetorical triangle, which is “the art of enchanting the soul” (plato). Arthur Miller uses these styles as well in his play The Crucible. I strongly believe that henry used ethos, pathos and rhetorical questioning to connect with the audience in The Crucible.…

    In the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, there are three main sinners. They are Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth. These three people all commit terrible sins including revenge, adultery, and murder. Of these sinners, Roger Chillingworth is the guiltiest of them all, and this is because he never felt remorse for the terrible things he did throughout the novel. Chillingworth sins were aimed to bring pain and suffering to others where as Hester's and Dimmesdale's sin was a sin of passion, and was never meant to hurt anyone.…

    “Scouts of Honor” was a video that shocked me to know that the largest youth movement in the country, in which values are treating everyone equally and standing up for what you believe in, would ban gays to be a part of their organization. One in five boys in American are a boy scout. In Petalima, California, troop # 174, a twelve-year-old boy by the name of Steven Cozza started an anti-gay stand by the name of “Scouting for all”. They held petitions and set up stands at local grocery stored. They also went to San Francisco to the gay freedom day to take a stand. Steven chose to do this because of the expulsion of gays from the scouts. The New York City Police Department even opted to help in their efforts when they heard about what Cozza was doing. Cozza spoke about the increased suicide rates of teen who are searching for acceptance and trying to figure out why society is so against the homosexual community. It was justified that a gay man as a leader of a boy-scout troop would in turn be a child molester. Even the Boy Scout Association of America stated that studies show gays are less likely to be child molesters that heterosexuals. In the case against Tim Curry, the Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts of American was a private institution and they could ban gays from their organization if they so desired. The boy-scout handbook teaches you to love everyone, not just certain people. Steven showed this contradiction to Americans at his rallies. Scott Cozza, Steven’s father, was forced to resign at Assistant Scout Master of Steven’s troop because f his involvement in the “Scouting for All” campaign. The banning of homosexuals from the boy scouts defeats the puproses and teachings of the boy scouts morality as a whole. In 1999, James Dale won a court case against the Boy Scouts of America stating that they were a public association and that they couldn’t discriminate on gay members. In 2000, the Supreme Court overruled their decision and stood by…

    Once a loss occurs within a family there is always a number of ways the family can get through their pain. A family can choose what role a loss is going to play in their lives. Either they can let the pain subside slowly or quickly get over it and move on, but I do not personally think one can truly accept losing a family member without some sort of grieving process involved. One family may choose denial, and resistance to let a loved one go, while another family may grief together to console one another. Once a family goes through a lose it becomes apparent that it can happen to anyone.…

    In T.S. Eliot's poem, The Hippopotamus, the first six lines of the poem, we can see the description of a hippopotamus. This Hippo is much like the human race because, we are simply made out of “flesh and blood.” Eliot utilizes religious reference in order to give us his point of view about religion and to picture them through the hippopotamus. , Eliot uses anaphora to show the importance of baptism and to be accepted as a Child of God. He also wants to explain how we should be forgiven for any sins that we might have committed in the past.…
