    Fried Green Tomatoes At The Gentle Stop Cafe Essay

    The novel that I chose to write my essay on is "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe", By Flannie Flagg.I chose to write my essay on this book because the author uses past events to help show how they have affected future scenarios. The message is that love is love. The author uses the plot to convey the message by having Idgie and Ruth both lose Buddy, who is Idgie's older brother and Ruth's lover. They both feel pain and remorse over Buddy's death but, in different ways, all at the same. Over time, Ruth and Idgie begin to love each other as sisters. So does Evelyn, a character that plays a different part in the book later in Idgie's life. Evelyn is a middle aged woman that comes to Idgie's nursing home to visit her own mother-in-law who has a dislike for her. Over time, Idgie tells Evelyn her story through the hardships and happiness through parts of her life. They quickly become the best of friends, almost like sisters to one another. Evelyn feels almost as deep of a…

    April Raintree Comparative Essay

    Mrs. Raintree and Mrs. DeRosier were two mother figures that had a negative influence on April’s identity. Mrs. Raintree was an alcoholic and had parties that became violent. “It seemed to me that after the welfare cheque days, came the medicine days.” Pg. 2. This quote indicates that the money that was meant to be spent to help April’s family was wasted on alcohol. April’s mother neglected both April and Cheryl because of drinking. This shapes April into becoming more independent by having to take care of herself and Cheryl. April’s mother is a cause of why the girls were taken away to foster homes. April ends up being separated from Cheryl when she goes to live with the DeRosiers. Mrs. Derosier is a racist and is cruel to April. “Mrs. DeRosier had said, ‘…you half-breeds’”. Pg. 26. Mrs. DeRosier neglected April except for when she was needed to do chores. April was treated like a servant at the DeRosier’s household. Mrs. DeRosier would leave with her children and leave April to do all the chores. “She left me instructions to wash the floors and clean the bathroom after I finished the breakfast dishes.” Pg. 29. Both April’s mother and Mrs. DeRosier helped shape April into being ashamed of being Metis. She learned to hide her true feelings. With these two mother figures…

    April Raintree Analysis

    In an attempt to get away from anything indigenous, April began to distance herself from her sister Cheryl so that she doesn’t have to face that fact that she herself is indigenous. This made Cheryl feel isolated. April “turned [her] back on [Cheryl] a long time ago” (195). Cheryl felt that April married bob “to get away from [her]” (195). Cheryl felt that April couldn’t deal with her being and acting like a first nation. She felt like April married Bob just to get away from her disgraceful sister. This made Cheryl feel unwanted and thus was the reason she spiraled into drugs, an abusive boyfriend, and prostitution. Similar to April, Sam and Dean bring misfortune and turmoil to those around them specifically Jo and Ellen Harvelle, their hunter friends. In Abandon All Hope Lucifer summoned hellhounds to capture Sam and Dean. the hellhounds mortally wound Jo and leave her immobile. They decided the best option was to leave Jo behind to set off a bomb to kill the hell hounds since Jo was going to die anyways. Ellen stayed behind because “someone had to let the hellhounds in”. Ellen and Jo died in an attempts to let Sam and Dean escape to go fight Lucifer. If they just accepted their roles Lucifer wouldn’t have had to send the hellhounds that killed Jo and Ellen wouldn’t have had to set off the bomb that killed…

    Law and Equal Employment Opportunity

    Laws and regulations have assumed an importance of major proportions in the process of staffing organizations. Virtually all aspects of staffing are subject to their influence. No organization can or should ignore provisions of the law; in this case, ignorance truly is not bliss. This chapter begins by discussing the formation of the employment relationships from a legal perspective. It first defines what an employer is, along with the rights and obligations of being an employer. The employer may acquire people to work for it in the form of employees, independent contractors, and temporary employees. Legal meanings and implications for each of these terms are provided. For many reasons, the employment relationship has become increasingly regulated. Reasons for the myriad laws and regulations affecting the employment relationship are suggested. Then, the major sources of the laws and regulations controlling the employment relationship are indicated. Equal employment opportunity and affirmative action (EEO/AA) laws and regulations have become paramount in the eyes of many who are concerned with staffing organizations. The general provisions of five major EEO/AA laws are summarized, along with indications of how these laws are administered and enforced. While voluntary compliance is preferred by the enforcement agencies, if it fails, litigation may follow. Litigation is based on the key concepts of disparate treatment and disparate impact. For these same five laws, their specific (and numerous) provisions regarding staffing are then presented in detail. Within this presentation the true scope, complexity, and impact of the laws regarding staffing become known. Numerous information sources about EEO/AA laws and regulations are then presented. Also described are several compliance and outreach initiatives by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Attention then turns to other staffing laws and regulations. These involve…
