    • How have you seen the selected traits utilized effectively in your own experiences in life?

    Many of our texts thus far prominently feature individuals who evolve and change over the course of their respective narratives, particularly in response to challenging circumstances that test their character and integrity.  Write an essay that examines this development of character across TWO of our course texts assigned before the midterm (i.e., The Odyssey, The Rāmāyana of Vālmīki, and Henry V).  How do your two chosen characters change over the course of their respective narratives, and what provokes this change?  Is this evolution of character a positive or a negative one and what are its effects?  Do these changes alter your opinions of these characters?  Why or why not?

  • Tell us about a time you had all of the facts but missed the meaning

    $10.00

    From David McCullough’s recent commencement address at BC: “Facts alone are never enough. Facts rarely if ever have any soul. In writing or trying to understand history one may have all manner of ‘data,’ and miss the point. One can have all the facts and miss the truth. It can be like the old piano teacher’s lament to her student, ‘I hear all the notes, but I hear no music.” Tell us about a time you had all of the facts but missed the meaning.

  • ESSAY : MEDIATING or NEGOTIATING – Immigration

    $22.50

    ESSAY : MEDIATING or NEGOTIATING.

    At least 5 authoritative sources required (okay to include previous research, but you also need at least three fresh sources).

    • As with previous tip sheets, I’ve included the previous sheets at the bottom in blue in case it helps you process the information.
    • Continue with the same subtopic of Forgiveness you’ve been researching, or select a new subtopic if you are writing more than two essays. Remember: at least two of your essays must be on the same topic (to encourage delving into greater depth). Don’t feel obligated to insert the words Forgive or Forgiveness in the essay; so long as your subtopic falls under the huge umbrella of the topic, you’re fine. For instance, during the researching process, some of you have branched out further (e.g., the mental health impacts of extended bitterness versus forgiveness in cases of violent crime) than where you started, but it’s likely fine so long as it is still reasonably related. If you’re unsure, ask me.
    • Select an issue (question) that you wish to address about your subtopic. Stay focused on addressing this throughout the essay. Reach some workable, feasible solution. This solution need not eliminate the conflict, but may diminish the degree of conflict. TIP: Youll make it easier on yourself if you craft a specific, concrete compromise (e.g., urging writing a letter of forgiveness to the criminal) rather than a general, abstract one (e.g., go forth and forgive).
    • Whether you choose mediating or negotiating, you need to identify the audience beneath your title: the two disputing parties. If you opt to negotiate, identify the disputing parties as well as which party you are.

    Find creative, feasible solutions.

    Build from common ground.

    Like with convincing and persuading, mediating will likely not reach everyone.

    Focus on the best solution under the circumstances. Provide benefit for each side (win-win).

    The solution may not provide equal benefits, but both sides should leave with sense of progress and some gain as a result of flexibility.

    Ethos: Earning the respect of both sides
    EX: listening to all disputants (e.g., Lincoln)

    Pathos: Using emotion to appeal to both sides
    EX: greater good (e.g., John McCain’s concession speech)

    Logos: Integrating values of both sides

    EX: Oslo Peace Accord (truce between Israel and Palestinian Authority)

    No set format so long as it is logically organized and achieves objective.

    One possibility:
    1. Overview of the conflict (301)
    2. Discussion of differences underlying the conflict (302) 3. Proposed solution (303)

  • Close reading Analysis: Love in a fallen city

    $10.00

    Conduct a close reading of the short story uploaded.  A “close reading” is an analysis that focuses on how elements internal to a literary text create meaning. These elements might include, for instance, language, character, structure, imagery, or symbolism.

    In analyzing it, your job will be to explain how some element of its style or form illustrates a meaning conveyed by the story as a whole. “Meaning” might include a moral, a philosophy, a world view, or simply an attitude toward a particular issue or problem. This is an analytical assignment, not a research project, so the only
    sources you will need are the literary text. Your analysis will focus on just one element, and the more specific you are the better.

    Description

    Conduct a close reading of one passage in the short story –“Love in a Fallen City”. A “close reading” is an analysis that focuses on how elements internal to a literary text create meaning. These elements might include, for instance, language, character, structure, imagery, or symbolism. For the purposes of this assignment, they do not include external factors, such as historical context or the author’s biography. Your analysis will focus on just one element, and the more specific you are the better. Examples of “structure” might include use of narrative arc, parallelism, repetition, symmetry, and motif. Examples of “language” might include narrative tone, dialogue, idiom, hyperbole, and the like. Of course, you are not limited to these examples, which are purely illustrative. The passage you choose may be as short as a paragraph or as long as two pages. In analyzing it, your job will be to explain how some element of its style or form illustrates a meaning conveyed by the story as a whole. “Meaning” might include a moral, a philosophy, a world view, or simply an attitude toward a particular issue or problem.

    This is an analytical assignment, not a research project, so the only sources you will need are the literary text.

    Make sure to read the whole story first before you choose the passage to write on!

  • Discipline And Documentation – Here She Goes Again

    $5.00

    Cover all of the issues in the case and use good writing and presentation techniques and address the issues in detail.

    Case: Discipline and Documentation – Here She Goes Again –

    Background:

    “I’ve come to the end of my patience with Roberta Weston,” said accounting manager Sam Best. “The position she’s in is so important to us that we simply can’t afford any more of her omissions or mistakes. For the sake of the hospital and the department, I believe she’s got to go. When I hired her, she told me she had solid experience in hospital accounting and billing, but I was not able to get a direct reference for her because I could not contact her previous supervisor, and all the HR office there would give me was her dates of employment, title, that she left voluntarily and was eligible for rehire.”

    “What’s the problem?” asked human resource director Charlene Harrison.

    “Problems, plural,” Best answered. “She’s so late in posting receipts on rentals in the medical arts center that we wind up double-billing a number of physicians every month. Actually, it’s the same with just about all miscellaneous income-since she’s responsible for all receipts except third-party reimbursement. Most of the time she is late getting the posting completed and frequently she fails to properly credit collections/deposits to the correct account.  We’re losing control of income, and I get three or four complaints a week from people who claim they’ve been billed again for charges they’ve already paid.”

    Best shook his head and added, “I’ve really tried to give her every chance to turn around, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long.  I don’t know if she doesn’t comprehend how important timely posting is or if she just doesn’t know how to do it.”

    Harrison said, “I’ve reviewed Roberta’s file. The only evidence of a problem I found was your rather detailed performance improvement review of two months ago. In that process, you’re supposed to give the employee detailed direction aimed at correcting the problem. You did that, and you also provided a warning that task performance would be monitored closely for 30 days and that she could be let go by the end of that period if her work didn’t come up to satisfactory levels. You did the review well, but I didn’t see anything about any follow-up”

    Best said, “That’s because she had shaped up by the end of the 30 days.”

    “But now she isn’t working up to the requirements of the job?”

    “No. Her work was just marginally okay at the end of the 30 days, but within two weeks after that the bottom dropped out again and the mistakes started rolling in.”

    Harrison asked, “What do you mean by ‘again’?”

    “This is the third time I’ve been through this with her. I go over the areas in which she’s not working up to standard, she puts on a burst of effort and does better, and a month or so later she falls back into her old ways.” Best frowned and added, “I can’t put up with it any longer. Three strikes-she’s out.”

    Harrison said, “According to her file it’s just one strike. The only documentation is your single performance improvement review. What about the other two times?”

    “Strictly verbal.”

    “You didn’t write up anything? You’re supposed to cover oral warnings with a counseling form or at least a memo for the record.”

    Best said, “If I wrote up one of those every time I had to talk to an employee, I’d never get done writing. It’s a lot of work.”

    “I know it is,” responded Harrison, “but you’ve got to have your documentation. As it stands right now, if we terminate her she could probably give us a real hard time with a couple of outside agencies.”

    “So what should I do?” Best asked.

    Instructions

    Describe the ways in which the employee might be able to give the organization a “real hard time” if she is terminated now. >> Use Bullet format
    Develop a plan of action that you would recommend Sam Best to follow in dealing with employee Roberta Weston.
    Can you think of any way to legally terminate the employee right now, without any potential of legal implications for the organization?
    Be sure you answer all of the questions.  I will remove 1/3 credit for each question you do not address.
