- 971: How To Raise Money For Startin
- ... profits? A percentage of the business? A seat on your board of directories? An investor uses his money to make more money. He wants to make as much as he can, regardless whether it's short term or long term deal. In order to attract him, interest him, and persuade him to "put up" the money you need, you'll not only have to offer him an opportunity for big profits ... to co-sign the loan you need for start-up capital. Remember, there are thousands upon thousands of ways to obtain business start-up capital. This is truly the age of creative financing. Disregard the stories you hear of "tight money," and start making phone calls, talking to people, and making appointments to discuss your plans with the people who have money invest. There's more money now than there's ever been for a new business investment. The problem is that most beginning "business builders" don't know what to believe or which way to turn for help. They tend to believe the stories of "tight money," and they set aside their plans for a business of their own until a time when start-up money might be easier to find. The truth is this: Now is the ...
- 972: Edgar Allen Poe's Symbolism of Death in "The Fall of the House of Usher"
- ... House of Usher". Poe scorned the use of symbolism in readings. "He said that as soon as the reader became preoccupied with meaning, the emotional effect was lost…on the other hand he believed that short stories should have ‘undercurrents of meaning'" ("The Fall of the House of Usher"- Analysis, 4). These statements are contradictory to each other. He believed "both sides of the story". Poe may not have realized that he ... of all ages and interests enjoyed his work even a century after his death. Poe was raised in harsh conditions, and for this reason, probably could not control what he wrote. Edgar Allen Poe's stories will live on through the hearts of readers for years to come. They will scrutinize the symbolic meanings of his passages and figure out their meanings. Poe was obsessed with death and, thus, his ...
- 973: Aunt Julia And The Script Writ
- ... fun to know. In fact, nothing about Marito interested me more than the demons that he possesses, or should I say seem to posses him and manifest themselves in his life as well as his stories. One of the many demons Marito possesses is his writing itself. he seems to constantly be in the middle of writing another short story to send to some newspaper or magazine. The thing is, none of these stories actually ever seem to be very good or successful. Throughout the novel, not one of them is ever actually publisher. Not even MaritoÕs friends really like his writing. In Chapter thirteen he reads the ...

- 975: The Mongol Invasion of China
- ... larger audience and aroused an ardent feeling of identification with the story being acted out. The subject matter of the Yüan plays is often taken from humbler literature of the previous periods, such as the short stories of the T'ang era, or from history; complicated crime and love-stories were, of course, very popular. This type of drama was usually well plotted and in melodramatic four or five act plays. Increasingly the plays would be written in a mixture of the classical and ...
- 976: Omeros
- Omeros and St Lucia Derek Walcott s Omeros is an epic story which fits well into the classical tradition. Its numerous echoes of Homeric writing combined with the use of characters names from Homer s stories are clear evidence to the fact that there is a major parallel to Homer s Iliad and Odyssey. There is no debate in this obvious fact. Omeros and Derek Walcott s writing, however, are much ... and Roman themes. Arguing this fact is an insult to Walcott and his masterful work. There are specific references in Walcott s writing which make this work more than a reproduction of someone else s stories and ideas. Omeros, although it is inundated with references to the works of Homer, is primarily the story of the island of St. Lucia. This island is the home of Derek Walcott, and so there ... local residents of St. Lucia. The first attempt at colonization of this island occurred in 1605, when a group on English colonists were blown off course and ended up on the isle. However, after a short stay the few who were still alive were forced to leave. In 1639, a second group of Englishmen also failed in their attempt at colonization. The French began to take an interest in the ...
- 977: Kurt Vonnegut Sarcasm And Blac
- ... many of his books. He makes the cruel bombing of Dresdon meaningless to show the purposeless cruelty of man (Kennard 5). He takes World War Two’s glory and victory away with sad and sarcastic stories. In Welcome to the Monkey House, there are three good short stories that support this. In D.P., an orphaned Negro boy in a German orphanage finds he does not fit in. One day he saw a man just like him in the woods. He sneaks ...
- 978: Aristotle And Virtue
- ... practical wisdom would determine it. Now it is a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect; and again it is a mean because the vices respectively fall short of or exceed what is right in both passions and actions, while virtue finds and chooses that which is intermediate." The question then becomes, how can I apply this to my life. Its one thing ... the teachings of Aristotle. I am treading along a slow and arduous path towards a degree in nursing, a career that demands many virtues, compassion, empathy, intelligence, courage and endurance. There are too many horror stories in the news these days about nurses who have strayed one way or another from the temperate path either through abuse of power, abuse of controlled substances, lack of compassion or even an excess of ... in the balance of the Golden Mean. Just as a Shakespearean sonnet wouldn't be a sonnet with either thirteen or fifteen lines, virtue isn't virtue if it is in excess or deficiency. In short, Aristotle says that while the potential for a virtuous life is within all of us, it is up to us to use our greatest gift, reason, to achieve our own happiness.
- 979: A Good Man Is Hard To Find
- The short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor could be viewed as a comic strip about massacre and martyrdom. What stops it from becoming a solemn story is its intensity, ambition ... a man that views murder as a sport, he can look at a pile of bodies as nonchalantly as Bailey skimming over the weather report. The irony is absurd. This family is doomed by news stories and columnists. Nothing could be more horribly ridiculous. O'Connor is re-enforcing her stylistic approach to the literature by having the children read comic books in the beginning of the short story, all the way through their fateful journey. This story, in many ways, is a verbal comic strip. It mimics that of the frames of a comic strip with small self-contained scenes. Their ...
