Eunice Williams was called the "unredeemed captive" not because her farther did not try to get her away from her captives, but because of the fact that she did not want to go back home.…
The doctors told that her death was because she was so happy that she died, and it is sad that they got it completely wrong. None of them truly knew what was going on in Louise Mallard’s head before her death. She was filled with excitement about life and nobody was aware of the freedom she felt. It is hard to imagine a death where nobody truly knows about how someone feels.…
A brief History of Ann Summers 1970’s 4 sex shops in London aimed at men clinical white closeted spaces. 1980’s 3 shops closed and 1981 party planners recruited all women 500 of them. 1990’s Ann summers went back into storefront retailing again. In the 2000’s early on Knickerbox was acquired and this added 26 stores in the high street. Web based online retailing and retail is now the biggest part of the Ann Summers Business (1). The change started when Jackie Gold (one of the owners daughters) took a Tupperware party idea to the board. This change was really a new business rather than a change it took the existing inventory of the sex shops and utilised a new format for distribution. Throughout the decades Ann Summers has changed as detailed above the reasons for change would seem entirely driven by customer needs and wants. Gold states “Ann Summers continues to be a customer-led business and it is customers again who have driven the latest rebrand” (1: 19). It is clear that Ann Summers as a brand have a wealth of engagement with customers defined by interaction with staff in the stores and the face to face engagement they have with customers who might not like to discuss or share with friends in the party plan atmosphere, together with the 8000 party planners who make there income from arranging 200,000 parties in customers homes per annum (2). These 8000 party planners see and listen to women in a comfortable and relaxing environment (possibly a drink or two is involved) but understanding the customer needs and wants has probably never been easier a ready made focus group which earns you money. The communication to customers about change or rebranding has never been easier Ann Summers have a captive audience to communicate changes to but best of all the changes are actually driven by the customer. Do they understand their customer - the answer is yes. The customer completes their empathy map for them.…
Diane Sawyer has a sympathetic attitude towards Robert Looks Twice because of the rough life he has. The audience can see and hear the sympathy when she talks about the poverty, the drunks, and the very dull community. She does not just show sympathy for Robert, but she does for the whole community. In addition, she shows sympathy when she says, “70 percent of Roberts’s friends will drop out.” Furthermore, when Robert gives her a tour of his house and everything is a mess she shows sympathy to him. He has to find a corner because the house is so small and has so many children that it is always loud, and really shows the understanding when she says, “Robert has to try to find a corner of the house so he can study.”…
She’s likable and well established as being conflicted. She is clearly uncomfortable with the idea of the funeral and death. She doesn’t like others suffocating her with their condolences. She feels like a loner. She’s consumed with guilt and she blames herself for her father’s death. She struggles with guilt, grief, and healing. She’s caught between a controlling mother who thrives on anger and blame, and her deceased father, who saw good in people and was more of a peacemaker; he wasn’t afraid to say sorry.…

The ambiguities in Katherine Ann Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" have provided fertile ground for widely different interpretations. Most critics, however, agree that Granny dies without a sign from God that her soul will be received into heaven. I would like to present evidence to the contrary: Granny does indeed get a sign, but one that she does not recognize. Her mistake is that she expects to receive this sign from Christ, when it is not Christ whom she should expect, but her own daughter Hapsy.…
Most of us sleep well at night with the assurance that if an emergency arose, we could just pick up the phone and someone would be at our door ready to assist us within a couple of minutes from making the emergency call. What would we do if your house or your safety would be threaten on a regular basis? And what if emergency personnel did not show up when we needed them the most? This paper will cover the steps taken by Kristin prior to her death and how the court system failed to keep her safe from her boyfriend.…
Poet, Mary Jane Sterling, expresses the pain of desolation through Thoughts on Silence, with an intention to raise consciousness on residential schools. Throughout the poem, longing and loneliness is evident while Sterling expresses her hardships in trying to adapt to a different culture and a new language. The poem starts with her feeling lost and confused in what seems, to her, like a different world. Looking outside, the narrator feels her “heart [leap] with the bird.” The bird symbolizes the tranquility and freedom which she longs for. These three examples undoubtedly illustrate her experiences of despair, and why she chose to write this poem. In truth, Sterling uses her personal experiences in a cleverly written poem to raise consciousness…
Near the beggining of the story, the tone is shown by Deadalus being sympathetic of him killing Talus.…
The three quotes provided are similar in that they all explore aspects of the difficulty of looking at events through memories. In the first quote, the narrator demonstrates that as far as the day of Santiago Nasar’s death goes, there are conflicting accounts of the weather that morning. The second compares looking at life through memories to looking at it through shards of broken glass – one cannot look at one complete picture and is thereby left to piece the memory together themselves. The final quote looks at the mismatch between the narrator’s mother’s memory of Angela Vicario’s auspiciousness and the narrator’s own recollection of her “helpless air and a poverty of spirit”.…
Ann Hopkins worked at Price Waterhouse 's Office of Government Services in Washington, D.C., for five years before she was proposed candidacy for partnership in 1982.

The metal cage holds in those who are turned away from society and hurts them in the process. The poem Sympathy was written by Paul Laurence Dunbar. It explores the racism that imprisons his soul. Dunbar uses the caged bird as a symbol of racism. The entrapped bird is hurt and injured while great things are happening around it. The tone is pleading and anguish over the racism that is expressed toward the black community. It explains the wonderful sun and beautiful weather and how the caged bird cannot feel it because it is entrapped by racism. “But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings.” This shows how he is adamant on getting rid of racism but he is the caged bird trapped by the racism and hatred of others. As the poem continues on Dunbar shows the darkness of racism and how the caged bird can even be bruised and sore. “When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, When he beats his bars and he would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee.” He beats his wings against the cage which is society holding him in by racism. The only way he would be free if society forgets the differences and establishes a community that accepts adversity. This is not a happy matter and Dunbar is sending a message to everyone by begging them to fight racism instead of embracing it. The frail caged bird can only be free by the decisions and actions of others and it is powerless over the might and will of humanity. Tear the cages apart and bend the bars for we are all birds within a…
Hello and thank you all for coming. Today we are gathered to mourn the loss of a spectacular individual who stood next to me through the thick and thin, through the good and bad, and has left my heart with a crater big enough to engulf the world, Mrs. Mallard. She was a faithful and devout woman whom I am proud to call my wife. We spent many years together, during which I always tried to make her happy. Yet recently all the memories of her and I have come flooding back to me in tidal waves of emotions, and after consideration I feel I have not done enough. I did not cherish every second of every minute of every hour I was with her and it devastates me at this time, but that’s how it always goes I suppose. But not for her. Mrs. Mallard ensured my life was as simplistic and easy going as she could. Whether it was her loving support, physical labors, or the smiles she would give me which could outshine the moon. She would always know what I needed and would move mountains to make sure I had it. Her affection was so strong that it ultimately caused her passing. After being told I had perished in a mining incident she become so distressed that her heart could not handle the news that I was still alive. She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for coming.…
