These people considered themselves law-abiding citizens possessing the right to work and honestly earn their living, while convicts brought to the mines were seen as those stealing bread from free miners (“The Coal Creek War” 1).

One of the most obvious points to notice in both Didion’s Where I was From and Ortiz’s From Sand Creek is the sense of deception that both experienced about the places and land that they came from or migrated to. What was supposed to be a positive and enticing quality of the locations only became somewhat of a disappointment or let down based on what both authors express in their messages of their novels. While Didion’s perspective was from her European heritage and ancestors who moved westward under extremely difficult and risky terms, Ortiz’s perspective ...

Implications of unethical practice

According to Schneider, Elizabeth N (42), ethics refers to a set of universal belief, conduct or set of standards that controls what one ought to do when the well-being of others is at stake. Ethically, organizations should, therefore, apply the standards in their day to day operations in a way that creates sustainability and promotes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In brief, CSR can be defined as carrying out activities that may not necessarily benefit the organization but instead help the well being of the third parties such as employees and customers. When ethical standards and corporate social responsibility is ...

Designing a Winogradsky Column

Introduction
A Winogradsky column is a micro-community designed to grow a smaller replica of a larger ecosystem. Sergi Winogradsky along with Martinus Willem Bejerink designed it when microbiology was a newly emerging science. At that time, there were few microbiological methods and most microbiologists were engaged in researching the “germ theory” of disease. Winogradsky broke away from this practice and investigated environmental by cultivating and studying microbial communities. His work furthered our understanding of microbial diversity, physiology autotrophy and environmental nutrient cycling. In particular, his efforts led to a greater understanding of sulfur and nitrogen cycling. Of particular interest in experiments that target a ...

Analysis of An Occurrence at Owl Creek

Analysis of An Occurrence at Owl Creek
In the short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek, time functions deceptively to make the reader unsure of the objective reality. In parts of the story, time functions normally while the story is told from the viewpoint of an omniscient narrator. In other places, time moves fluidly from normal speed to slow motion, from the point of view of an unreliable narrator. In the first part of the story, time flows at a normal pace for a while but begins to show irregularities. While Fahrquhar waits to be hanged, he hears: “Its recurrence ...

Introduction

This book is a collection of short stories, reflecting on the author’s experiences as influenced by the American culture. This was important to the author, especially because she was still familially bound to the influence of her Mexican heritage. The short stories in the book revolve around the social roles that women have in the society, and the relationships that women have with men and other women in the society. Most of the characters used in the books are stereotypical. The men as depicted in the book personify male machismo. On the other hand, women are shown as generally ...

Coming of age and making the transition from child to man is one of the most difficult experiences a person ever lives through. One of the hardest elements about this is that it is the first major change. There is no former frame of reference to look back on. There is no concept that the smallest of errors will not have lifelong consequences. There also is no understanding of how thoughts, whether acted upon or not indirectly shape our actions.
Araby by James Joyce and Nobody Said Anything by Raymond Carver both address that transition, and the attendant feelings ...

According to Lewicki (2010) there are Ten negotiation strategies that when employed properly by a negotiator, then the outcome to the negotiation to will be favourable.

In our present time, holy places are primarily in a closed building. It suits the expectations of our current society. People seek comfort in cool air, comfy pews, and embellished statues and windows as they worship. I happen to enjoy that as well. I feel like a holy place can be wherever there are holy people. But if I had the opportunity to build a place of worship centuries ago, it would be way different. The older I get, the more my holy expectations flourish.
First and foremost, I do believe that God speaks through nature. I feel that ...

Ambrose Bierce wrote What I Saw of Shiloh as his memoir of the 1862 Battle of Shiloh, a Civil War conflict in which he served the Union Army that went against Confederate troops. The atrocities of war are clear in the depictions of Bierce, most notably when he recounted the defeat of the Union Army on the first day of the battle. At the same time, Bierce emphasized the follies of most of the soldiers who fought, whose desire to serve for prestige has ultimately alienated them from the people who permitted them to go to war, hence saying, “I ...

Following essay explores the American literature before the Civil War to identify and understand its types and how historical events shaped them.

Cemeteries are a slice of history. If the occupants could only talk to us, what

fabulous stories we would hear--the birth, life and death of husbands, wives, children,

how they came to Texas and from where; first-hand knowledge of the Civil War, the

Spanish-American War, World Wars One and Two, the Korean War, and the Viet Nam

Conflict by those who were there. Eight cemeteries I have researched on their historical

properties are- Bear Creek Methodist Church and Cemetery, Tullos Cemetery, Hebert

vandalism is a common problem with abandoned and neglected cemeteries which are

We flew into the impressively-named Norman Y Mineta San Jose International Airport, which actually turned out to be larger than we’d expected, considering that Santa Clara has a population of around 120,000, although I suppose as this is more or less in the center of Silicon Valley it is a much-used destination. The airport actually has two terminals and is served by several major airlines.
We’d chosen our starting point at Santana Row to be these pretty gardens on Olin Avenue, because this was just about the center of the complex of the 70 or so stores ...

Although they written during roughly the same time period and are both based on Southern culture, William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” and Eudora Welty’s “A Worn Path” are very different in many ways, from the tone of the stories to the narrative style used. One of the best ways to look at these differences is by comparing the principal characters in the stories. Miss Emily and Phoenix Jackson are both, in different ways, tragic figures. However, a careful examination of these two women reveals that, while the tragedy of Miss Emily is built on despair, that of ...
