Accountants
... and work methods. A financial accountant records economic data and periodically prepares reports that show profit and other financial information of a company using the generally accepted accounting principles. The reports prepared by the accountant are useful for managers, and also for owners, creditors and the public. Based on information in the reports the public can use the reports to choose a company to invest in. Because a financial accountant is employed by an individual company, she is considered a private accountant. Another type of accountant is a tax accountant. A tax accountant prepares yearly tax returns for individual clients. The accountants have to u ...

Alice Munro Open Secrets The A
... Munro’s characteristic approach to short story writing as it explores central character’s lives that are revealed from a combination of first person narrative and third person narrative. By using both narratives, Munro adds realism, some autobiographical information about her own life in the short stories, as the stories are also based on fiction as can it be found in earlier written short stories.
Since many of her stories are based on the region in which she was born, the characters and narrators are often thought of as being about her life and how she grew up; and making her stories appear from a feminist approach. This could also indicate why the central ch ...

Macbeth Issues
... them and smear The sleepy grooms with blood.” (Act II, Scene 2) Here Lady Macbeth directs Macbeth what to do after the murder of Duncan.
Lady Macbeth takes control of their situation. ”Lady Macbeth brought a directness, a practicality, an inability to see difficulties in a good cause”. Says Barbara Everette in “Macbeth As A Married Couple”. This shows how much Lady Macbeth’s views were a major part in their relationship. Both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth corrupted their relationship with their struggle for power. They both felt the need for authority, which as a result lead to their downfall.
In the beginning of the play Lady Macbeth comes across to us as evil- ...

To Kill A MockingTo Kill A Moc
... because Calpurnia is as good as a role model as Aunt Alexandra, if not better. Aunt Alexandra is a bigot and doesn't see the character of Calpurnia, just the color of her skin. Another person who is treated like an inferior is Scout by her teacher, because she knew how to read. "She discovered that I was literate and looked at me with more than faint distaste. (p.17)." Scout is treated like it is her fault that she knows more than the average child did. She learned earlier than others so she gets punished unjustly. Tom Robinson is also one who is discriminated by a biased community. Tom is found guilty by the jury in his case against the Ewells (p.211). The gui ...

Myth Of Rock
... Vinci to the Wright Brothers to Thelonius Monk in the latter category. The way we acquire our information combined with the veracity of that information affects our subjective sense of reality. It is the reason why propaganda was such a useful weapon during the Cold War years. The ability to create doubt in the minds of society causes that society to question its own sense of cultural/societal/governmental reality. In his book 1984, George Orwell created a society in which the ministry of information controlled the masses by controlling the information they received. The government even went so far as to rewrite history by changing old newspaper and film files to s ...

Writing Styles Of Poe And Hoffman
... become so exaggerated that they become terrifying. The first point made by Kayser is that:
Hoffman is a master in the composition of grotesque scenes; still
we get the impression that the grotesque effect is usually weakened
by the conclusions of his works. (Kayser 71)
I find this statement to be very true in that in many stories, even by other authors, as well as some movies, this sort of thins happens frequently. During the course of the story or movie, the writer does an exceptional job of terrifying the viewer or reader and then concludes the piece with a sort of an upsetting ending. This can be found in many of today’s horror movies. A good example w ...

Killer Angels 2
... authors often find it tempting to display their research and learning ability by filling each paragraph with mindless babble. Michael Shaara tells the story with vivid emotions. He makes the reader feel like they were there in the camps, under the artillery, behind the stone wall, marched, bled, and prayed that Lee would not order the charge. Michael Shaara takes you there, as soldiers saw the war and army life. He showed the true sorrow and terror. "Yet you learn to love it. Isn't that amazing? Long marches and no rest., up very early in the morning, and asleep late in the rain, and there's a marvelous excitement to it, a joy to wake in the morning, and fe ...

Two Different Attitudes, Two D
... my Hips” carries a very proud and self-confident attitude. The best example of this would be when the speaker says, “These hips are mighty hips. These hips are magic hips. I have known them to put a spell on a man and spin him like a top!”(Pg705). That line is so powerful, it portrays the image that she thinks that bug women are better than men. The speaker in this poem is also a very brave and daring type of women. “They don’t like to be held back. These hips have never been enslaved, they go where they want to go”(Pg705), that line shows how brave the speaker is. It conveys the message that nobody is going to hold her back fo ...
