Reading Assignment Analysis
Another long reading assignment to tackle this week, but I'm excited this time. GUI programming is what I'm mostly interested in. When I first started programming, I couldn't wait until I could write a program that appears on the screen and allows the user to interact with it. This has always been my idea of what programming is all about: graphical user interface programming. Although I know programming is much wider than that, GUI is what captivates me the most. As a matter of fact, I look forward to learning about creating smartphone apps and games and web development. I tried to do a little of the reading assignment each time. The author started off with an introduction that was more confusing than edifying. I noticed that the author of our textbook hasn't presented Java in the best way possible. I believe that there has to be a much …show more content…
I enjoyed all the intricate details of creating a graphical user interface: how to create menus and add menu items, how to create dialogs and set them to be modal or modeless. There was even a method for specifying the tool tip, the text that appears when the mouse hovers on a component. I debated whether or not I should work on the ungraded assignment once I finished the reading assignment. I eventually decided not to. Since I finished the discussion assignment already, which was easy and didn't require a lot of time, I decided to start preparing for the final exam. I want to take the exam before the last day of the exam period at the very least, so that leaves me less than a week to prepare. There's so much to read, and a lot of review. I will start as soon as today. I'll keep the ungraded assignment in mind. If I have the time, I will do it later this week, if only to test myself and how much I know. At any rate, I will continue to study Java on my own after the term is over. I want to learn as much as I can before the next term

    Evaluating an interpretation of literature

    The text ‘A Most Lamentable Man’ written by Christine Marlowe is an interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet which portrays arguments about Friar Laurence, indicating that he was to blame for the tragic ending to the play. Marlowe Claims "Throughout the plot, it is the actions of Friar Laurence, and he alone that are most significant in ensuring the final tragedy of the play." The statement proves that she believes the Friar to be the influence or the main reason the star crossed lovers die whereas in Shakespeare's original version he made the Friar a caring man that just wants to help the young couple and marry them in the unlikely event that the two feuding families make amends. "But come, young waverer, come, go with me, in one respect I’ll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households' rancor to pure love." (2.3.90) Laurence’s poorly executed plan to fake Juliet’s death was one of his main faults Marlowe indicates “Out of all Laurence’s blunders, however, his calculated plan for Juliet to take on the appearance of, ‘A thing like death …’ (4.1.76) is surely his greatest error.” although Marlowe doesn’t end there, she includes his failure to get the all-important letter delivered to Romeo and his slackness in helping prevent Romeo’s death, “Laurence did not emphasise the importance of the letter he had instructed Friar John to deliver to Romeo.”…

    Hi Kristin, the context diagram that you have posted truly represents most of the high level external entities needed for the Scale2 project. This particular context diagram presents sensors and alarms as well as the building alarm as two separate entities or terminators. I wonder if they are redundancies that could be combined into one in order to enhance your work. The other wonder is on the health monitoring device in relationship to the information medical records database and the mobile devices and/or tables; can I consider them been an aggregate of the health monitoring device and/or you do not believe they are high level enough for the context diagram? In my context diagram I represent database health records and mobile devices as two…

    Why the North Won the Civil War by David Donald: Reflection on the economic, military, diplomatic, political, and social reasons the South lost.

    Historians have argued inconclusively for years over the prime reason for Confederate defeat in the Civil War. The book Why the North Won the Civil War outlines five of the most agreed upon causes of Southern defeat, each written by a highly esteemed American historian. The author of each essay does acknowledge and discuss the views of the other authors. However, each author also goes on to explain their botheration and disagreement with their opposition. The purpose of this essay is to summarize each of the five arguments presented by Richard N. Current, T. Harry Williams, Norman A. Graebner, David Herbert Donald, and David M. Potter. Each author gives his insight on one of the following five reasons: economic, military, diplomatic, social, and political, respectively.…

    Analyzing Interpreting and Assessing

    The Great Wave off Kanagawa is the most well-known Japanese woodblock art ever created in the history of Japan (Sayre, 2010). The masterpiece was created by Hokusai Katsushika, known to be the honorable Japanese printmakers of the 19th century. The Great Wave off Kanagawa set precedent for the first of 36 views of Mount Fuji, 1823-29 (Sayre, 2010). I will discuss the six elements of visual design, go in detail of the elements that was present in The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and evaluate the quality.…

    Chapter Analyses

    Many events opened up the book in chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby, indicating that this book would appeal to many in a sense that it could be easily connected to. A significant quote from chapter 1 is a thought from Nick explaining his family heritage. Nick says “The Carraways are something of a clan, and we have a tradition that we're descended from the Dukes of Buccleuch, but the actual founder of my line was my grandfather's brother, who came here in fifty-one, sent a substitute to the Civil War, and started the wholesale hardware business that my father carries on to-day.” Most would see this as him describing his family heritage, but when read more in depth you realize that he is trying to illustrate that his family achieved the American Dream through persistence and hard work. He mentions “the Dukes of Buccleuch” to create his point that they sound like they come from a family who inherits the American Dream, but notifies the reader that his family achieved the American Dream by working towards it. As you read on you learn that Jay Gatsby inherited his wealth, giving Nick a bad perception of him due to the fact that Nick’s family has worked to achieve their wealth, yet to Gatsby the American Dream is just the pursuit of self pleasure. All in all, the quote relates well to the characters, but also to the theme that no matter how wealthy you are, you cannot buy yourself the happiness you can obtain through hard work towards the true American Dream.…

    The Fairfax Recreation Center is a neighborhood fitness center equipped with an indoor swimming pool, exercise equipment, and a running track. The Center is open seven days a week, from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Stationed just inside the front doors is a turnstile. An employee oversees access through the turnstile. Before anyone can enter the facility, they must either present their membership card or pay a $6 daily fee. When the employee at the turnstile collects cash for daily fees, he or she also has the visitor complete a waiver form. The employee then deposits the cash in a locked box and files the forms. At the end of each day the Recreation Center accountant collects the cash box, opens it, removes the cash, and counts it. The accountant then gives a receipt for the cash amount to the employee on turnstile duty. The accountant takes the cash to the bank each evening. The next morning, the accountant makes an entry in the cash receipts journal for the amount indicated on the bank deposit slip. Susan Porcano, the Fairfax Recreation Center General Manager, has some concerns about the internal controls over cash. However, she is concerned that the cost of additional controls may outweigh the benefits. She decides to ask the organization’s outside auditor to review the internal control procedures and to make suggestions for improvement. Assume that you are the outside auditor. Indicate weaknesses in the existing internal control system over cash admission fees and recommend one improvement for each of the weaknesses you identified.…

    After graduating from Boston College’s Lynch School of Education with a BA in Elementary Education, I had the opportunity to go back to my alma mater, Boston English High School.

    In “Who Are You Animal Rights Activists Anyway?” by Tom Regan, he was telling the general public about the views of animal rights activists. Regan has written several essays on animal rights and is recognized as a key intellectual leader of the animal rights movement and has also written several books on the subject which makes him very credible in his writings. Regan’s argument is one of change, he’s trying to get us to change our views and persuade us that not all animal right activists are extremists. He starts his essay by telling us that “the world will have to change once we learn to treat animals with respect”, he goes on to tell us that “being kind to animals is not enough, avoiding cruelty is not enough and that the truth of animal rights requires empty cages, not larger cages.” I found his essay hard to keep my attention by the way he jumped around.…
