- 10171: Linking Media with Fitness Perceptions: A Study on the Affect of Media on Fitness and Body Image

It is good for parents to join in the game, but they must not take over and encourage the children to play and learn in a particular way. This will weaken the child's creation, exploration, imagination and other resources that children should strengthen by play. In brief, the child will take from a toy of what he or she is ready to take.

Is Being Automated Often part of the goal of a data warehouse is to automate the production of a spreadsheet or series of spreadsheets that have been manually created by a user. Sometimes the user's corporate identity is tied to the spreadsheets and he or she feels (rightfully) threatened by the prospect of automation. This user's cooperation will be needed in the data warehouse development. Though dealing with this sensitive personnel issue probably should be to be the responsibility of user management, often the IS organization has the burden of ...
- 10174: Of Mice And Men - Hopes And Dr
- Ofmiceandmenthesis Hopes and dreams are both the fuel and fire in Of Mice and Men. Stienbeck uses these to thicken the plot and make the reader take large interest into the character’s outcomes. George and Lennie have a dream. “Someday—we’re gonna get the jack together and we’re gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an’ a cow and some pigs.” [George, p. 15] Being lowly ranch hands, they dream of a better life, where they don’t work for anyone but themselves. George, the much smarter one of the two, is quite optimistic about it. It seems that he has already talked with someone about buying his or her land.

- 10175: Jane Eyre - Fire And Water
- ... use of poetic symbolism, to develop character, strengthen thematic detail, and establish mood. In Jane Eyre, fire imagery has a strong metaphorical significance, representing passion, sexual desire and the heat of emotion and feeling. Brontë's use of fire imagery is very appropriate in that fire, as is with the passions, can provide warmth and comfort, but can also burn. Water, the antithesis of fire, represents the extreme point of cool reason, without any trace of passion. Eric Solomon writes, "The fire is in Jane’s spirit and in Rochester’s eyes…St. John Rivers contains the icy waters that would put out fire, destroy passion" (Solomon, 73). As Jane wanders between these two points of temptation throughout the novel, the accompanying imagery of fire ...

Through his use of distortion Huxley tells a classic tale ... way. Huxley also uses distortion to open peoples eyes to the world of religion. For example, Bernard Marx hurries and frets about being late to his orgy-porgy session because he is running behind.
