- 18321: The Sound and the Fury: Summary
- ... together. Each individual section could not succeed in its goal without the views given in the other sections. They all work together to for m the complete work. The first section is narrated from Benjy's mind. Unfortunately for the reader, Benjy is mentally incapable of clear thought. In other words, this section of the book appears to be a jumbled mess of sounds and senses at first glance. However, this section can be "translated" to make some kind of sense. Once this happens, the story does make sense and does serve a purpose. The main conflict of the story revolves around Caddy's promiscuity. Each character takes some position regarding this fact. Benjy, as retarded as he is, is the only one capable of telling an unbiased version of the story. Because he cannot think rationally enough to decide a position on the matter, he can give some sense of neutrality to the situation. This is the purpose of the "Benjy Section." Quentin, another of Caddy's brothers, is the narrator of the second section. While his section does involve "stream-of-consciousness," it is not nearly as complicated to read as Benjy's section is. Quentin is a young man ...
- 18322: Definition/Exemplification: Success
- ... to receive good grades. For instance, someone might ask a friend to do an assignment for her because her friend had taken the same class during the previous semester, or someone might “reuse” someone else’s paper to turn in for a grade. These people may never be caught and might refer to this as a success because a good grade was received by cheating, but these people should feel guilty instead of successful because someone else’s work had been used and did not work for it themselves. Sometimes success also involves the work of more than one person. To illustrate, consider the work of teams. Why do people consider sport teams ... to be a “star” because sports are a team effort. If no one gave commitment, there would not have been a team, and each player cannot take the credit of the success of another person’s work because it would be like “plagiarism.” Similarly, success is not receiving another person’s accomplishments as people think it is, such as an inheritance. An inheritance may be a part of a great ...
- 18323: DuPont: An Investment Analysis
- ... Pont for the quality of his powder, which was being used to clear the land at Monticello. Many other heroes of early America owed their success, and their lives, to the dependable quality of DuPont's first product. This represents a good, strong start for a company. DuPont, which is moving through the last decade of the twentieth century and toward its third century, emphasizes several things; competing globally; sharpening its business focus; increasing productivity; committing to safety, health, and environmental excellence; and continuing to extend its significant science and technological achievement. One of DuPont's major strategies is to focus on businesses in which DuPont has core competencies, where DuPont can build competitive advantage. The most notable example of this focus was the 1993 transaction in which DuPont acquired ICI's nylon business and ICI acquired DuPont's acrylics business. This strengthened the company's position in the global nylon business while divesting a business that no longer fit its portfolio. Another major factor in ...
- 18324: Two Themes That Affect Marlow and Kurtz In Heart Of Darkness
- ... Marlow and Kurtz In Heart Of Darkness There are many themes that run through the novel Heart of Darkness. There are however two main and significant ones. These are the theme of restraint and man's journey into self. The importance of restraint is stressed throughout Heart of Darkness. In the novel Marlow is saved by restraint, while Kurtz is doomed by his lack of it. Marlow felt different about Africa ... those unpermitted aspirations lurking in the darkness of his inner station. Marlow also responds to these dark callings, and he almost becomes their captive. He confuses the beat of the drum (the call to man's primitive side) with his own heartbeat, and is pleased. Yet he does not slip over the edge as Kurtz does. Marlow keeps to the track. When he is confronted with the ultimate evil where a man "must fall back on (his) own innate strength, upon (his) own capacity for faithfulness," he is able to do so, he shows the necessary restraint. The second theme of course is man's journey into self. During Marlow's mission to find Kurtz, he is also trying to find himself. He, like Kurtz had good intentions upon entering the Congo. Conrad tries to show us that Marlow ...
