    Examples Of Family In A Thousand Splendid Suns

    No one cherishes his or her family constantly. That is only an unavoidable truth. In spite of this, A Thousand Splendid Suns proposes that there's nobody more critical than your family. The novel likewise proposes that the idea of "family" stretches out past blood relatives. Consider how Mariam and Laila build up a mother-daughter relationship, or consider the bond amongst Tariq and Zalmai that starts to develop towards the ending of the novel. Now and then family is your blood, and every now and then it isn't—yet your family, however you define it, is always at the center of your life.…

    Glory Field Essay

    Lizzy, a slave working on a plantation in 1864, showed courage when she makes decisions that could endanger her life. First, she showed courage when Lem, another slave, has been bound to the tree in the middle of a field as punishment by Mr. Joe Haynes, the plantation overseer. She supports Lem by bringing him water. This was courageous because Lizzy knew if she was caught, she would be tortured as Mr. Joe Haynes was doing to Lem. Unfortunately, she was caught and was whipped until Joshua, another slave, tackled Mr. Joe Haynes to save her. All of them knew that if they did not run away from the Glory Field, they would be killed. “‘Go on, girl, before you break everybody’s heart.’ a voice from the darkness said... ‘Don’t turn back’ (a lady said). Lizzy stopped, looked down, took a deep breath, and continued (to walk away from the plantation).” Once again, Lizzy has shown courage by leaving The Glory Field even though it was the only home she had ever known.…

(Quote):When she and the children arrive, Lula, a member of the all-black congregation, inquires in a threatening manner, “ ‘I wants to know why you bringin’ white chillun to nigger church’ ” (Lee 119). Calpurnia holds her ground and confidently responds, “ ‘They’s my comp’ny’ ” (Lee 119). Lula continues to carry on, and Calpurnia sternly threatens Lula’s advance on the children when she says, “ ‘Stop right there, nigger’ ” (Lee 119).

    Financial and Non Financial Motivators

    It is important that a company makes the employee feel motivated. There are many reasons as to why they should do this. One of the reasons is that if an employee does not feel motivated then they may feel that their job is quite boring and therefore as a result of this they may decide to leave the employment and resign. If they do this, this would cost the company money to hire and recruit a new employer as they would have to repeat the process of recruitment and selection all over again. Also it will make the company look bad and their business name will have a bad reputation with the public if too many of their staffs are leaving their employment. Moreover, it helps to ensure that the workers work to the best of their ability.…
