- 1011: McDonald’s
- This is an exciting and interesting essay to write for a number of reasons. For one it’s an honour to make a research on one of the most profitable societies of the world, for second because the kindness of McDonald’s employees and the precision of McDonald’s Web site, are perfect sources for all kind of information that can help analyse through Porter’s value chain, all the aspects of its value creation.

- ... the truth about the world she lives in, and cuts herself free. Nora Helmer was a delicate character who had been pampered all of her life, by her father, and by Torvald. She really didn't have a care in the world. She didn't even have to care for the children; the maid would usually take care of that. In every sense of the word, she was your typical housewife. She never left the house, mostly because her husband was afraid of the way people "would talk." I do not know if but a few people knew about their marriage, and that was the way Torvald wanted it to be. It really wasn't her fault she was the way she was, it was mostly Torvald's for spoiling her.

Directors, editors, and cameramen are making silent films with the help of a "scenarist," usually an ex-vaudeville actor who invents humorous situations. But where are the screenwriters?

( Motion Picture Association of America [MPAA], 1999) The Storytellers All of that changed with the advent of sound for film in the 1920s. Suddenly, actors needed something to say.

- General George S. PATTON Soldier, General, Pilot, Athlete, Father, Gun Owner, Hero, Legend UNLIKE many war heroes who had no intention of ever becoming famous, George Patton decided during childhood that his goal in life was to be a hero. This noble aim was first inspired by listening to his father read aloud for hours about the exploits of the heroes of ancient Greece. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey were particular favourites of young Georgie, who could recite lines from both texts long before he could even lift a sword. These classic images were filled out by recent war stories of ... Patton house and would entertain Georgie for hours with tales of his Civil War adventures.

- 1017: Car Winterization
- ... fit in your car. Two things to remember about batteries: First, the battery that started your car easily in the summer may not have enough oomph to do it in winter, when the oil isn't as "fluid" as it was last July. And secondly, batteries lose power as the temperature drops. So, not only do you need MORE power to start the car in winter, you also get LESS power ... in auto parts stores for a couple of bucks. You suck up a little of the anti-freeze from the radiator--or the overflow container and see how many of the little balls float. It's cute. If this is beyond you, most real gas stations will do it for you in a couple of minutes. By the way, this is very important. If the stuff freezes, it expands, and it's bye-bye engine block. If your coolant hasn't been changed in several years, get the cooling system flushed. The rust inhibitors in antifreeze break down over time and need to be renewed. Plus, ...

- ... them to land at. The area around the Bay of Pigs is a swampy marsh land area which would be hard on the troops. The Cuban forces were quick to react and Castro ordered his T-33 trainer jets, two Sea Furies, and two B-26s into the air to stop the invading forces. Off the coast was the command and control ship and another vessel carrying supplies for the invading ... smaller vessels. With some of the invading forces' ships destroyed, and no command and control ship, the logistics of the operation soon broke down as the other supply ships were kept at bay by Casto's air force. As with many failed military adventures, one of the problems with this one was with supplying the troops. In the air, Castro had easily won superiority over the invading force. His fast moving T-33s, although unimpressive by today's standards, made short work of the slow moving B-26s of the invading force. On Tuesday, two were shot out of the sky and by Wednesday the invaders ...

Ideology, being defined as the “system of interlinked ideas, symbols, and beliefs by which a culture seeks to ... rumor, story, whatever it was” into the lynching of the Negro, Will Mayes. Beyond the blatantly ideological actions of the main characters however, lie the eyes and tongues of the townsfolk—the people who don’t take a direct role in the action yet whose presence is always felt. It is my thesis that by the actions of the main characters, secondary characters, and the narrator himself Faulkner crafts a story ... traces of ideology in the text—the mob members acting on ideological notions concerning the honor of women and the denigration of blacks.
