The Perks Of Being A Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky

A modern book that holds a great deal of sentiment within it is Stephen Chbosky’s novel, The Perks of being a Wallflower. The novel is about a young boy, Charlie, who has some anxiety about beginning high school especially after recently losing his friend, Michael, and he beings to write letters to an anonymous person. Charlie eventually becomes best friends with Sam and Patrick and goes through a lot of challenging situations that year. He deals with bullies, relationship problems, secrets, parties, drugs, abortion, and friendship. Throughout the novel, it is sensed that there may be something mentally troubling Charlie based on his strange actions. By the end of the novel a repressed memory of his is revealed to him and this causes him†¦show more content†¦Charlie doesn’t give his friend any clues as to who his real identity is and asks the friend to not write back to him but simply listen to his story. Having the novel be written in a series of letters makes the story more intimate for the reader versus if the narrator had chosen to tell his stories in a traditional first person point of view novel or as a diary. The narrator writes to the friend saying, â€Å"Even though I didn’t know you, I felt like I did because you sounded like such a good person†¦ The kind of person who would understand how they were better than a diary because there is communion and a diary can be found† (206). A diary can always be found and read by another person but letters leave your presence as soon as you mail them and an intimacy between the sender and the receiver of the letter is made. Charlie writes these letters knowing that someone will read them and has the satisfaction of knowing that there’s a good person out there whom he can confide in when things are getting rough. In Bartleby the Scrivener, by Herman Melville, we meet Bartleby who is employed as a copyist and eventually stops doing his work because he says that he wou ld prefer not to and stays in his office all day. Bartleby’s employer rids of Bartleby by moving his office to a new location, having BartlebyShow MoreRelatedThe Perks Of Being A Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky Essay1317 Words   |  6 Pagesbanned book is a novel for young adults that was published in 1999, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

Though Chbosky may have been more sentimental than was needed at times, the novel fits very well for whom the target audience of the book was directed to, which was teenagers. Chbosky understand that sentiment can be used in a certain way to make his scenes more powerful and uses many sentimental ideals numerous times throughout his novel. This affects the reader’s understanding of his writing to a great extent and how they identify with the characters.

Analysis Of The Poem The Mother And Abortion

Ben hudson Professor Lopez ENGL 1302 7-29-17 â€Å"The Mother† and Abortion Today, we read literature from all eras, from Shakespeare to James Baldwin. Literature imbeds social, political, and ethical problems and or ideals. This is especially true in poetry where symbolism empowers the writing. When you take a look at â€Å"The Mother† by Gwendolyn Brooks, it addresses the issue of abortion. Abortion has been a hot topic for over a hundred years, for it is debated over social and ethical reasons. When we analyze this poem, it is important to draw the connections between how it is covered by media, and how the poems stands on it. Take a look at â€Å"The Mother†, the poem is about a mother who had gotten an abortion and was haunted by the child she†¦show more content†¦The majority of Democrats have been seen to promote pro-choice, and republicans chose the side of pro-life. Republicans however, are mainly driven to pro-life based on their faith, which is usually a denomination of Christian ity. The mainstream media has the tendency to possess bias towards a specific party, influencing their articles on abortion to their interests. Media uses certain rhetoric to guide the viewer’s beliefs towards what they want them to believe; most of the time these media outlets are biased on a subject or just an entire political party. For example, if we take a look at an article about abortion covered by TFP Student Action, it uses rhetoric to get you to side with and agree with what theyre saying. The first point they make is that abortion offends God saying It’s not just a personal choice â€Å"but a grave offense against God and His creation.† (10 reasons abortion is evil not a pro-choice). This notion is trying to say that it isn’t a simple choice to make, but it is also a choice to offend the greater being and his creation. This is used to draw in anyone of faith trying to make them think it’s a choice against God, therefor swaying them agai nst abortion. This technique is usually used by Catholics, as they have very strong views about abortion being seen as murder which is a transgression in most religions. The next point they make compares the war on terror andShow MoreRelatedAnalysis Of The Poem The Road Not Taken By Gwendolyn Brooks980 Words   |  4 PagesFor my analysis I chose to look at two poems where the authors transform the readers into the speakers.

Growth of Clothing Retail Industry

Question: Discuss about the Growth of Clothing Retail Industry. Answer: Introduction: The clothing industry in Australia is one of the main sectors in retail trade. The clothing and apparel industry has faced a lot of difficulty in the previous years in Australia. The industry however has seen a little growth in the year 2015. The clothing and foot ware industry depends on a lot of factors like the fashion trends, customers choice and others (Okonkwo 2016). In the past few years, the foreign clothing retail companies are also entering the Australian market for trade. As a result, the indigenous companies are facing problems (Chen and Li 2016). The clothing industry has started using the new technologies like the online shopping, online marketing, use of digital media and others. This has improved the business of the clothing market of Australia. The clothing industry in Australia is still in a maturing state (Ewing 2014). The challenges that were faced in the clothing industry are due to the changes in the economic condition of the people of the country. The consumers became aware in spending due to the changes in the economic conditions (Casidy 2012). The growth of the Australian clothing industry is being studied in this research. The main factors that affect the growth of clothing industry will be discussed in this research work. The proposal gives an idea about the methods of data collection and the analysis of such data. The possible interpretation of the results of analysis of data is given in this proposal. The main problem statement in this research is to analyze the growth of clothing industry in Australia and the factors behind such growth. Literature review: The clothing retail industry in Australia is one of the major retail sectors of the country. The sector contributes a large portion o the GDP of the country. The past few years this sector however has not seen much growth. The change in economy of the country has resulted in the decline of this industry (Fry 2013). Due to inflation and other economic factors the consumers has become cautious about spending. The indigenous companies are also facing competition from the foreign companies. The foreign companies are entering into the Australian market over the last few years. All these factors have led to the decline of this industry (Gardetti and Torres 2013). The clothing industry can be classified into many different sectors such as the clothing, fashionable apparels, apparels and footwear and others. The fashion is a very important factor in the apparel industry. The company that has a fashion line is more preferable than the ordinary companies. The fashion line has led to the growth of companies like Nike, Adidas and others. These companies mostly trade in sports goods and apparels. The brand value of the companies is also an important factor for the growth of these industries (Singleton 2013). There are more than 40 popular clothing companies in Australia. The fashion sense o the customer is one of the driving forces behind the growth of this industry. The customer of these popular brands like Nike is mostly college goers. The generation Y has a strong sense of fashion. The fashion sense of the customer is changing day by day. The foreign companies are finding advantage for this change. The foreign companies could expand their busines s in the Australian market owing to these changes (Brooks 2013). The country Australia does not have many large fashion companies. There are only two branded fashion companies in the country namely Billabong and Rip Curl. The company Billabong accounts for 1.5 billion Australian dollars while the company Rip Curl accounts for almost 884 million Australian dollars. The fashion industry of Australia contributes more than 75000 Australian dollars to the GDP of the country. The total employment in the clothing, textile and foot ware industry of Australia is 37000 (Mohan Kathuria 2013). The fitness and athletics clothing industry also forms a part of the clothing industry of Australia. The fitness and athletic clothing industry however has shown a growth over the years. The main reason for the growth of this industry is the changing consumer behavior. The consumers have started using gym clothes due to comfort in these clothes. There is a high demand of gym clothing in the Australian market (Jegethesan, Sneddon and Soutar 2012). The management of supply chain has also facilitated the growth of these industries. The foreign companies like H M COS are expanding their territories in Australia. The company COS has opened a store in Sydney in the year 2014. There is no such leading company in foot ware and apparel business in Australia. The South African company MRP has entered Australian market in the year 2015 (Robinson and Hsieh 2016). The sector has shown a marginal improvement in the year 2015. The customers demand for the latest designs has been increased in the present time. The clothing industry has also improved due to digitalization. The use of social media sites has also led to the growth of this sector of industry. The concepts of online advertisement, online shopping has greatly benefitted the industry (Brooks and Simon 2012). Variables and hypothesis: The main variables in this research work are the total profits generated by the clothing retail industry, the number of indigenous companies in the industry, the foreign companies that are entering in the industry, the employment status in this industry, the contribution of the industry to the GDP of the country and others. The profit of the industry is taken as the dependent variable and the other variables as the independent variable. The hypotheses of the research work are as follows: H01: The clothing retail industry has not shown any major changes over the years. H11: The clothing retail industry has shown a major change in growth over the years. The variable of profit of the companies is measured in terms of the Australian dollars. The GDP of the country, the numbers of companies that are operating in the country, the employment status of the industry are all obtained for the whole country. Since this figures are quite large, these figures are associated with errors. There is no such constraint involved in doing the research work. Research design and methodology: The research involves qualitative method of study. The data collected for the research work is secondary data. The secondary data about the number of people involved in clothing retail industry, employment status of the industry, the impact of the industry to the economy of the country and others are obtained from the official websites and other websites. The data has been collected for a particular span of time. The data can be collected for a period of 10 years. There is some ethics related to any kind of research. The researcher cannot forget the ethical issues while doing the research work. The researcher has not violated the ethics in this research work. The researcher has obtained the data from the websites and other sources ethically. The places where the data are not available, the researcher has paid to obtain the data. The researcher has not taken any unethical measures such as hacking or others to obtain the data. The data obtained for the purpose of the research is secondary data. Therefore, the data is not subjected any kind of sampling procedures. However, the data has been collected for a particular span of time. Data analysis: The analysis of the data so collected is carried out with the help of different statistical tools and techniques. The measures of descriptive statistics have been calculated for the variables. The mean, median, standard deviation, variance, range and others has been calculated for the study. A comparison among the previous and past year figures will help to understand the growth of the industry. A time series analysis can be performed to know about the growth of this sector. The values of the profit from this sector can be plotted along with time. An increasing trend in the values will help to know that the dataset has an increasing trend. A regression analysis can also be performed by taking the profit as the dependent variable and the other variables such as the GDP of the country, employment status of this sector, number of firms in this sector and others as independent variable. A significant value of the beta co efficient of the regression model will explain that the variable ha s an impact on the profit of this sector. Conclusion The research will be carried out to know about the condition of the clothing retail industry in Australia. The research will point out the problems faced by the clothing retail industry in the present years. The possible remedy to these problems will also be discussed in this research. The analysis and conclusions from the research will help to take a close look into the problems faced by clothing retail industry. The proposal points out the problems in the particular sector of research. An extensive literature review has been conducted to know about the problems of the clothing retail industry. The methods of data collection and the analysis of the data are also given in this proposal. References: Brooks, A. and Simon, D., 2012.

The father of science

The father of science-fiction Essay Many theorists believe Melies to be the first auteur of film. When putting together a film, Melies himself handled much of the task. He was involved in hiring the actors, obviously shooting the film, and also developing and editing the films. Melies even made sure he was a part of their hand-coloring and distribution to theaters. One of the most crucial factors in considering Melies as the first true auteur is his introduction of fade-ins and fade-outs for each scene. In making the entire film flow as one true story, Melies would fade in between scenes, thus showing how the scenes progress one after another, and how characters and plotlines intertwine within each other. A Trip to the Moon is a brilliant example of how Melies used fades as a way to communicate with the audience the passage of time, and the progression of the story. A shot of the crowd is faded into a shot of the spaceship.

These fades and lap dissolves are the first of their kind, and incredibly crucial to the evolution of film. For a film like A Trip to the Moon it is obvious that it is impossible to shoot on location. And also, it would grow incredibly expensive to build enormous and dramatic sets that try to convey a feeling of location on the moon. So instead of massive constructs used to reveal location, Melies decided to use vast paintings as backdrops for some of his more fantastical films. Using these paintings was far more efficient that having to build an entire construct for a short scene on film. And not only were the paintings large, but Melies decided to give the paintings a sort of dreamy appearance. He liked dabbling into the abstract and paranormal. Big and beautiful paintings are much more interesting to look at then a set that might try to be incredibly realistic. While some see Melies strictly as the father of fantasy or science-fiction, I would go as far to say he could easily be considered the father of film. The way Melies constructed entire stories by fading in and out of scenes to advance the plot is a key invention that has brought film to where it is today. Melies made steps within his career that easily could have taken decades for the rest of the world to grasp. The fact that one of his major inventions had arisen out of a common camera jam tells that we learn from our mistakes, and Georges Melies sure learned how to capitalize on his.
