SummaryWebster defines “mother” as “a female parent.” While in some cases that may be all there is to a mother, more commonly, a mother has many more qualities than simply being “a female parent.” One mother in particular who has an array of qualities is Amanda Wingfield. Amanda is the mother of Tom and Laura Wingfield in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie. Amanda is the primary character in Williams’ play, because her actions and opinions shape all of the events in the play.
Table of Contents

SummarySexual discrimination is problem that many athletes deal with regardless of their sex. Women more often deal with sexual discrimination, but even guys deal with this problem. Although sexual discrimination is still a problem today, it is not the same issue it used to be thanks to Title IX. Women are now given a lot more athletic opportunities and have most of the rights men have. Even with the improvements made to eliminate this problem, sexual discrimination is still an ongoing issue. The remainder of this paper is going to cover topics of what sexual discrimination, why it happens and cases of athletes being sexually discriminated against.
Table of Contents
- According to the dictionary, sexual discrimination is 'discrimination (usually in employment) that excludes one sex (usually women) to the benefit of the other sex?.
- Another reason may be that society doesn't view women the same way as men.
- To help see that women would no longer be discriminated against in sports, the Title IX amendment was started.
- Some colleges have violated title IX, which ended up going to court.
- In 2000, some Louisiana State University female athletes sued the University because they refused to offer them the same opportunities as the male athletes had.
- The very latest case is a current case that is yet to be settled.

SummaryThe retail industry is flooded with products and services, all vying for market share and revenue. In order to succeed, the different firms must carefully understand and analyze the market they are in. They must ask questions about their rivals and the structure of the industry, as well as make decisions regarding pricing and non-pricing strategies. FranklinCovey is a firm that sells planning systems for mostly business professionals, in the market of planners/organizers. They compete with other well-known brands such as At-a-Glance and DayRunner, yet there are characteristics that set them apart. During my observation of this firm, I came across distinctive elements of the industry and its overall structure, and made note of their various pricing and non-pricing strategies.

SummaryThe British are often imagined as newspaper addicts impatiently waiting for the postman to deliver their paper on Sunday morning. Yet, it would be wrong to believe that they do not share a similar interest for the booming world of the magazine press. As we will see, the magazines sector in Britain is extremely dynamic and magazine readers are more and more numerous across the country. But before I begin explaining the dynamics and characteristics of the British magazine press, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that what we call “magazines” doesn’t only refer to the numerous “consumer magazines” (that is to say “magazines grand-public”) one is likely to find in every news stand! Magazines are in fact to be grouped into several distinctive categories which I will mention later on.
As you can see on the outline which I’ve handed out, I will first be focusing on the two main characteristics of the magazine press: its dynamism and the main actors of the magazine industry. To continue, I will present the different types of magazines and the leading titles on the market.

SummaryReaders love the story of the predator and the prey, regardless of where or with whom the sympathy falls. A tale of survival or near-survival keeps us craving more, and if the creator or messenger of that story can secretly divulge wisdom along the way, then both reader and author benefit.
Using a similar objective and a common motivation for their pieces, we can see that both Plumwood and Stark’s essays seek to educate their reader, while masking this behind a veil of entertainment. Furthermore, both pieces use contrasting writing styles to portray their stories of fight or flight, and to portray a theme that mankind needs to humble itself in regards to nature. Peter Stark’s essay “The Sting of the Assassin” seeks to relate a story of one of the world’s more deadly jellyfish, the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri). Stark weaves his informative essay with a purely fictional tale regarding struggling newlyweds. Val Plumwood’s essay “Being Prey” contains none of the dialogue that “Assassin” uses, but the story may even be more powerful as the reader knows this story not only could happen, but did.

Summary“We need to increase the funding for the movie Working Title by 10% in order to ensure a quality product. As you know, we are working with a first-time director, whose only previous experience has been shooting commercials for a shampoo company. Since the advertising business is notoriously wasteful, it stands to reason that our director will expect to be able to shoot take after take, without concern for how much time is being spent on any one scene. In addition, while we have saved money by hiring relatively inexperienced assistant producers and directors, this savings in salary will undoubtedly translate to greater expenditures in paying the actors and unionized crew overtime for the extra hours they will spend on the set waiting for the assistant directors and producers to arrange things. If we don’t get this extra money, the movie is virtually assured to be a failure.”
Table of Contents
- The head of the movie studio certainly should not increase the funding for Working Title by ten percent based solely on this recommendation by the producer
- Also, the fact that the assistant directors and producers are relatively inexperienced does not necessarily imply that they will take more time "to arrange things" than more experienced assistants

SummaryThe Chicano Art Movement began in part as an effort on the part of Chicanos to take agency in their own representation. Before the Movement, most available representation of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans cast them in a negative light — often as servile or violent (Davalos 3). It is arguable whether this has changed, but the Movement has allowed Chicanas and Chicanos to offer alternative representations of themselves. However, to convey these new representations to the mainstream — to get them past the “cultural gatekeepers” Luis Camnitzer points out — the Movement has turned to mainstream museums (Alba 21). This has presented a set of complications inherent to exhibition practices. In the case of Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge, an exhibition curated mostly from the private collection of Cheech and Patti Marin, these complications become particularly problematic.
Table of Contents
- The art of Chicano Visions - selected primarily from Cheech Marin's private collection.
- Among those is one painting by Ester Hernández - far more eminent figure in the Chicano Art Movement.
- One mythical icon that many Chicanas have chosen to revisit is La Llorona.
- No collaborative efforts were established with scholars except to write descriptive essays for the book.

SummaryHow might T.S. Eliot’s poem, which has come to define the modernist movement, be different if instead of bearing the title, “The Waste Land”, it is called “He Do the Police in Different Voices?” This paper will not seek out any definitive answers as to the meaning of the elusive, chaotic poem that is “The Waste Land,” but rather it will seek slant rays of illumination on the poem by examining the editing changes effected by Ezra Pound, Vivien Eliot (Eliot’s wife) or T.S. Eliot himself. The change in title most certainly improves the reception and final production of the poem, and it serves as an important example of the significance of revision in T.S. Eliot’s writing process. Many such significant editing changes can be found in the comparison between the first drafts of the poem and the final production, and one can hope to clarify Eliot’s intentions and directions for the poem, as well as Pound’s influence on those drives.
Table of Contents
- The title.
- The epigraph.
- Burial of the dead.
- A game of chess.
- The fire sermon.
- Death by water.
- What the thunder said.
- The degree of pound's influence.

SummaryMark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, his seminal 1876 novel, has been both lauded and decried by multitudes of readers who almost universally regard Twain in a favorable light. Negative reviews of this work are found most easily among admitted Twain fans—something that seems to stem from the inevitable comparisons to Twain’s other works, most notably The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Despite mixed reviews, Tom Sawyer is an important work, particularly for understanding Twain’s motivations his own life.
Table of Contents
- Many different views of Twain's goals for this book are put forth in the body of scholarly literature discussing it
- William Spengemann's Mark Twain and the Backwoods Angel focuses on Twain's treatment of innocence, and claims that Twain's main goal in the book is to show that 'life without innocence is either hopeless, or, at best, reprehensible?
- More than a chance for Twain to reminisce, though, the Sawyer character is a warning, according to Tom Towers
- Whatever the case, Tom Sawyer represents a fork in life's road'a choice between good and evil, between aggression and non-aggression
- This story is Tom's, as declared in its title, and that makes the story one of a boy becoming a man
- Tom, on the other hand, unwittingly moves Becky and himself closer to peril, and also close to financial reward when he presses on in the cave
- While it is true that Huck Finn is given the ability to speak for himself in the work bearing his name, it is not obvious that this indicates a condemnation of Tom Sawyer

SummaryIn Edwin Arlington Robinson's short poem "Richard Cory," the speaker tells of a rich gentleman who, to the collective shock of the community, commits suicide for unknown reasons. The poem begins by describing this gentleman, Richard Cory, as slim, graceful, and friendly. Even though he is much richer than the rest of the community, he is always personable and speaks nicely to the common townspeople. The speaker describes Cory as nicely but humbly dressed; however he still has some innate quality about him that makes him appear to sparkle in the eyes of the town. Because of this, the townsfolk always watch him with awe whenever they see him. Cory is obviously well liked and admired by the whole community, who apparently think he has the perfect life. They envy him so much, in fact, that they come to resent their own situations in life; they work long hard hours, but they still cannot even afford to buy decent food for their families. Cory's suicide is told at the very end of the poem in only two lines, and is as much of a shock to the reader as it must have been to the town.
Table of Contents
- On the surface, the speaker seems to simply be one of the poor, working-class townspeople.
- The speaker's tone in Richard Cory is calm and unemotional, while at the same time ironic, reflective and possibly even regretful
- Several words and phrases in this poem carry more meaning than their definitions denote
- Another revealing phrase appears in the second line of the third stanza, where Cory is said to be admirably schooled in every grace
- Wording is also important at the very end of the poem when the speaker describes Cory's death
- Although it is relatively short, containing only four quatrains, Robinson's Richard Cory is a powerful poem
