The short story Rescue from Qiamarr is about an old compulsive man who was averse to be embarked to an adventure. The old man, Dacy, felt like everything needed to be the same. He reasoned that he needed to have order in his life. The monotony of the neighborhood reflects the personality Darcy. He is proud of how he worked his whole life he worked to live in his tedium neighborhood. His life then takes an unexpected turn when an out-of-place looking car forces him on an adventure to save a sorcerer. The car stood out in the neighborhood of ticky-tacky houses. It seemed to have possessed magickal powers, personifying the vehicle. The beginning of the story shows that Dacy was reluctant to even notice the car, let alone get into the car. Dacy

    I learned a lot from Darcy, Sarah, and Miranda's miscue analysis. I really like how the teacher just didn't bring up the student's weaknesses but also her strengths. That can really boost a student's self confident level if they are struggling with a subject. From this section I hope to remember that the quantity of easy and interesting reading that the student's pick will help them become successful readers. By having the student's self select their own reading material will help them make meaning out of the text. Another thing I hope to remember from this section is that students who overuse phonics need to come up with another word when struggling that sounds like a real word that makes sense. Students can also say "blank" when struggling…

    In A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, the audience can see how insecure Dave is about having to take the role of a parent for his little brother, Toph. Throughout the book Dave is constantly thinking about how everyone thinks that Dave shouldn’t be taking care of Christopher or he is an unfit parent. Dave wants to give the very best to Toph but most of the time that isn’t possible. For example, when they were looking for houses people were rejecting them saying the two weren’t the best fit or didn’t think they could pay. One landlord who was sceptical was unsure about Dave’s lack of job and their age. Dave responded “We can pay. We have money. We could pay the year’s rent all at once if you want” (76., which made the…

    The narrator has a younger brother whom is disabled, Doodle. The narrator decides he wants to teach Doodle to walk and run. This is one of his major flaws. He has too much pride to have a brother that cannot do a lot of things. This ultimately leads to the narrator leaving Doodle for dead in a large storm. The narrator does not take Doodle into account for his plan. He only cares that “[He] was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so [he] set out to teach him” (Hurst 418). This is a very common flaw, and is one of the most dangerous. At the end of the story they are trying to outrun the storm and get back to their house. Doodle is running himself, and then falls. He calls out, “‘Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me!’” (Hurst 425) but the narrator keeps on going, not wanting to give up on his brother. But it was a mistake. Doodle could not stay up himself, and lay there dying. Eventually the narrator gives up on his pride and comes back to help Doodle, only to find his corpse. The narrator’s pride was too much, and took the life of his…

    The Walt Disney Company’s organizational structure looks most like a horizontal structure. Horizontal structure is based on departmentalization or subdividing the organization into subunits (Bateman & Snell, 2011). The Disney Company has five business segments: interactive media, studio entertainment, consumer products, parks and resorts, and media networks. These departments are grouped by product which is a great example of the divisional approach. Each product is closely related to the other as they all are about entertainment in one form or another, but they do still have their own descriptions.…

    If I've said it once I've probably said it lots of times and forgot, but I never find more mistakes in my rough drafts until the minute I submit the paper to be graded. There is a point where no matter how closely I read the sentences and check punctuation or citations my brain starts to glass over even the really obvious mistakes in the paper. For this reason, I start the revision process by having several different people look at the paper in different locations like the library, writing center, Starbucks, or a restaurant. After I've weeded out all the mistakes, I rewrite the rough draft by hand to check that I've tied off all loose ends and I don't have any random tangents in my paragraphs. I follow that up with running my paper though several free apps to double check on my grammar and punctuation before submitting the final product.…
