I do agree with Evans and Alire in their agreeing with Dana Rooks; of course I want to be someone who develops in to a leader! We’ve learned through this class that “management is the art of getting things done through people” (Mary Parker Follett, 1941). This chapter tells us leadership is depends upon people- “a leader without followers leads nothing” (p.321), without people nothing can be done through them, which to me makes management and leadership go hand in hand. As Elliot taught us in the

*INTRO* *BLACK ROOK IN RAINY WEATHER* “Black Rook in Rainy Weather” is focused on her feelings and thoughts, her lack of inspiration – although it appears as if she is writing about the outside world. She uses her nearby surroundings as a metaphor for her feelings and ideas. Plath feels empty and longs for nature and her mundane surroundings to ‘speak’ to her, to provide her with inspiration for her poetry “A minor light may still lean incandescent out of kitchen table or chair as if a celestial

classroom is because it is an uncomfortable subject to discuss. One reason why people do not talk about race in the classroom was because they were taught that it was impolite to do so. In an article titled Why Can’t We Talk About Race, the author Noliwe Rooks asserts Feeling uncomfortable because race or racism is mentioned in your presence just doesn’t compare to the economic, psychological, and spiritual consequences of structured racial inequality […] Of course, the problem is that many of us—black

space for some other inclusions. The oriental feel to the film (Rooks, 1972) is something one cannot ignore. The scenes of rural India, Rabindra Sangeet, sweeping shots of forests, lakes and sunsets, the character of Kamala dressed in clothes that seem to be inspired from classic Sanskrit plays. These render an Oriental feel to the film. This could be one of the reasons why westerners were so attracted to watching this film. Conrad Rooks effectively places music at

1. I interviewed Quinton Schnier on April 12, 2016 in a face-to-face interview. I felt very comfortable interviewing him. I interviewed Steve Riojas on April 15, 2015 over the telephone. I felt very comfortable interviewing him as well. 2. From these interviews, I learned that face-to-face communication is much more effective than speaking over the phone. Non-verbal gestures can be seen during a face-to-face communication, which helps greatly in understanding when a person is being serious or joking

played on a board of 8x8 squares, alternating the colors, white and black, which are the 64 possible positions for game development. At the beginning of the game, each player has sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, and eight pawns. The objective is to overthrow the opponent's king, reaching the square where it lives, with some of the pieces of the opponent, to check, making the other player unable to move or eliminate the attacking piece in order to escape the

This piece was named “Endgame”. It’s oil on canvas that was created in 1944 and it is 17 inches by 17 inches. This painting is a surrealist style. The painting is a chess board with four rooks displayed in the upper right corner and they are white and light blue. From the rooks, there are faint white lines representing the queens moves on the board. These lines lead up to a satin heeled female shoe that represents the queen. The shoe is crushing a bishops mitre (representing the bishop chess piece)

“THE WAR PRAYER” MARK TWAIN The War Prayer," a short story or composing verse by Mark Twain, is a scorching arraignment of war, and especially of visually impaired energetic and religious enthusiasm as inspirations for war. The structure of the work is straightforward: An anonymous nation goes to war, and devoted subjects go to a congregation administration for troopers who have been rung. The general population call upon their God to allow them triumph and secure their troops. All of a sudden, a

Allusion is when “...a writer intentionally references persons, places, or things outside of the work itself, usually without specifically explaining them,” (Harris. Rooks. Stegall. 86.). There is straightforward, brief, complex, extended, Biblical, literary, historical, and cultural allusion. Extended allusion is allusion that is expressed more than once throughout the story, and brief allusion is the opposite of extended allusion. Brief allusion is conveyed less in a story. Rudyard Kipling’s “Cupid’s

trees to speak./Augurs and understood relations have/ By maggot pies and choughs and rooks brought forth/ The secret’st man of blood.” (Act III, Scene IV, lines 122-126). Macbeth’s paranoia goes so far that he believes the dead, Banquo and Duncan, will resurrect and get revenge for what he has done. Macbeth feels so guilty of the murders that he has committed. Macbeth, by saying “By maggot pies and choughs and rooks brought forth/ The secret’st man of blood.” This implies that even the craftiest of

Standardized tests have, on many occasions, been used for racial and cultural statistic purposes. Time Magazine writer, Noliwe M. Rooks, wrote in an issue, "In Virginia only 45% of black students in each school must pass standardized math tests while 68% of whites, and 82% of Asians must do the same. Officials say that these plans are not discriminatory because students who are the

“According to the Pew Study on the American Dream, social mobility is increasingly difficult, if not impossible; the study found those born at both the top and the bottom of the “income ladder” stay where they are from one generation to the next.” (Rooks) Meaning that if you are born into poverty it is more likely than not that you will stay there. This could help to reason why politicians have a hard time coming up with a good plan of action to help those in poverty. While Horatio Alger’s stories

Race has been a common dividing factor in most of North America’s history. From slavery to hate groups that thrive on racism, North America has its fair amount of hatred between races. Recently, this past June a gunman opened fire in a church killing nine people. While this is a tragedy, it is also a hate crime for a white man went into a church and killed nine African Americans. Last June, a twenty-one year old man named Dylann Storm Roof rocked the nation with an awful hate crime. During a bible

According to Vu and Rook (2013), ‘traditional Vietnamese cultures emphasize filial piety and are based on a patriarchal structure’ (p.227). ‘The father is expected to be the main bread-winner, while the teenage daughter should be chaste, obedient, and her main activity should be assisting others in the family’ (Vu and Rook p.227). While sons are directed towards higher education, girls are expected to occupy their time

Manipulating Moments in Time: Comparing John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Virginia Woolf’s The Death of a Moth Time can be manipulated in several different ways in writing, whether through sentence length, detail, time skips, flashbacks, flashforwards, or any number of other strategies. In their pieces Hiroshima and The Death of a Moth, John Hersey and Virginia Woolf use several techniques to manipulate moments in time; in the beginning of Hiroshima, Hersey prolongs and relives the moments before and during

I believe Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward, Duke of Clarence and Avondale was Jack the Ripper and responsible for the death of canonical five and possibly more prostitutes in the Whitechapel district of East End London. I have reason to support this allegation because due to Prince Albert’s demanding circumstance he was would have been desperately trying to prevent his private affairs and royal scandal from hitting the newspapers and being blown and out proportion by journalists. This would

Whether Alec or Angel contributed most to Tess’ hardships is a loaded question, but when looking at it in the scope of things it is quite apparent that Angel was the one who gave Tess the most pain. Without a doubt Alec did in fact “rape” Tess causing him to be a major threat, and in addition, his nagging personality is the center of much scorn from Tess. But Alec is not the one who brings Tess her worst hardships; her husband Angel, the man who vowed to be with her for life but left her because
