On August 13, 2013, at approximately 1:37 A.M., Sparks police department received a call that an accidental death has occurred. Queenie Volupides, the wife of the deceased Arthur Volupides, claims that her husband slipped and fell on the stairs while he was coming down to the kitchen for another alcoholic beverage. She says that she wasn’t home when the incident occurred. She states that she was at a country club that was hosting a party and that when she arrived home (at approx 1:15 A.M.) she found him lying on the stairs dead. However, the crime scene shows many inconsistencies within Queenie’s Story.…

Following the Crusades, European interest in Asian goods skyrocketed. This interest led to a need for new cheaper direct water routes to Asia. This led to the accidental discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. This discovery is seen as one of the most successful failures in history, as Columbus failed to find his target, India. However, the failure was a disguised success as new trade routes were discovered, colonies for European nations, and new crops were discovered. Columbus’ methods were seen as cruel and inhumane by some and he was criticized by many. This is seen in the textbook, In a People’s History of The United States. The latter of the argument glorified Columbus for his “acceleration” of the Native populations in the Americas through the introduction of old world crops and technology. This view was supported by the American Pageant. Both texts supply factual information about various events in history, but present Christopher Columbus and the Europeans in different ways.…

Sammy’s Decision to not be a Sheep and Change the Course of his Life in John Updike’s short story, “A&P”…

Observation is a process that is constantly performed by all individuals in everyday situations. It is a tool used to gain a better understanding of a situation, although the observer is not always aware that they are in fact performing such an act. In John Updike’s, A & P, the narrator, Sammy, finds himself observing with great detail, three female shoppers in the supermarket in which he is employed. It is through his observations that not only are Sammy’s desires exposed, but he is seen as a character who lives in the moment, and quite frankly grows up in such a short period of time. A close reading towards the bottom of page 218 in the story supports these subjects through its showing of his passion for the three girls, his quick decision making, and his overall condition. In a short matter of minutes Sammy’s true colors are shown and he is left to deal with the consequences.…
“It’s our policy” (6), A&P by John Updike, a short story centered on conformity and an adolescent named Sammy claiming his independence. The grocery store represents a box that cages Sammy in and prevents him from experiencing a maturing phase in his life. The every day ritual of the store is “empty” (4) and everyone usually has “nothing much to do” (4). The grocery store never really changes and is a bit of a “Crummy” (6) place to be as customers are as boring as “sheep” (6). Sammy has accepted the bore by molding himself into the store, observing and analyzing every square inch of the building. Sammy feels like the store has control over him, like he has been painted white and camouflaged into its vast walls. He needs to find his own unique colors and paint his own life’s picture.…
School counselors in Hawaii are licensed through the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board (HTSB). School counselors in Hawaii are not required to have a masters degree, however this may preclude those without a masters degree from being able to administer, score, and interpret some assessments (Naugle, 2009; State of Hawaii, 2015). In 2012 HTSB adopted new standards for professional school counselors (State of Hawaii, 2015). Throughout the standards there is mention of school counselors using and interpreting different types of assessments. For instance, standard 3 specifies that school counselors provide accurate and relevant interpretation of assessment data; standard 9 specifies that school counselors use program assessments to evaluate the school counseling program (State of Hawaii, 2015).…

The act of eating is rarely a morally or politically innocent or benign act, but the cultural and social implications of such eating varies. Using the example of the United States, this paper will focus first on the particular moral ground gained in some Christian communities from particular diets such as the Weigh Down Diet as compared the ethics and politics of the Slow Food movement in the United States. These two examples, while not always interconnected, illustrate how US-Americans explicitly and implicitly understands food and eating as inherently moral and political activities, through which one gains higher moral ground through controlling and maintaining individual physical bodies and/or collective abstract bodies.…
As you are aware I'm sure, I hadn't turned in my intent to return form yet because I wasn't sure, as I had been told that I was in a position to possibly get promoted at my other job. I have come to find out yesterday that I got the promotion, and I am super excited for the opportunity. Unfortunately, it means more hours, and I won't be able to juggle that job and this one at the desk, plus school. One had to go, and I am choosing to resign from this job.…
The biggest challenge for many of us is how to balance our studies, work and family demands. While we want happy fulfilling lives outside of family, work and school, we have to make personal sacrifices in order to be successful in life. Since time is precious, keeping a balance between three worlds can be a challenge. Fortunately, with proper planning, balance is possible. Every day, I have to make choices and manage my time incredibly well in order to be able to balance my online studies, my work and family demands. In my opinion family demands, work and studies balance are a process, not a static achievement. So, it is important to make the decisions selecting careers and jobs, timing dogs, allocating roles and responsibilities etc, which will provide the opportunity for balance. The real task of balance takes place on a weekly and daily basis.…
