For this discussion, please read “Araby,” “Where Are You Going, Where Have you Been?” “Girl,” “Volar,” and “A Rose for Emily.” Respond to one of the questions below.
How does Kincaid create an impression of setting in this story? How would the effect of “Girl” be different if the setting were described in greater detail?
How important is the setting of “Where Are You Going” to the conflict of the story? Close-read setting details to explain how they interact with other aspects of the story.
How important is the setting to “A Rose for Emily”? Is the setting essential to the conflict and characters?
What settings are described in detail in “A Rose for Emily” and which are sketched? What seems to be the effect of the full descriptions of certain settings? How would the significance of events that occur in those settings change without the description?
What is the importance of the setting of “Volar” to the story? What is the effect of the specificity of setting place in “Volar” and the vagueness of other aspects of the setting?
What details of the setting stand out in Joyce’s story “Araby”? What impression do we get of the narrator’s world from these details? How is this world important in shaping the narrator’s experience in the story? Does the setting have some role in the conflict the narrator faces?
Choose one of the stories we read this week and explain how, and through what details, it establishes a mood.
Critic Walter Wells argues that John Updike’s “A&P” is a retelling of James Joyce’s “Araby,” as they are both stories of young male characters whose infatuation leads to an emotional fall and realization. What similarities or differences do you notice in their use of setting, and what is the significance of them?

MK4247 Group project markstrat
You must form a team with other students. Overall, there are six firms in your industry and your team is one of these firms. Each firm is aiming to become the most profitable, and with the highest market share in the industry. The major objective, however, is to allow you to make important marketing decisions and experience the impact of these in your market and your firm’s performance, as well as the financial implications of your marketing decisions.
Each member of the team is responsible for ONE or maximum two brands (Brand Manager).
There are two product markets in this simulation: the Clinites and the Nutrites. You start with two Clinite brands, but from Period 2 onwards you can launch more brands in either the Clinite or the Nutrite market.
Through the R&D projects, you can modify a brand’s characteristics or launch a new brand. Each firm can launch up to five brands in the market.
A total $budget is indicated each period for your firm. You cannot exceed this budget.
Each period is equivalent to a fiscal year.
Each Brand Manager is responsible for setting his/her brand’s objectives, strategy, and tactical actions for each of the 8 periods, make a sales forecast, set prices, and prepare the “Analysis of Key Strategic and Tactical Issues per Brand” with each decision.
The Marketing Team decides during a meeting the allocation of the available budget: a) on advertising and advertising research per brand, b) number and deployment of the salespeople, and c) the purchase of the required marketing research studies.
Once ready each brand manager inputs all necessary figures on line and prepares the “Summary Markstrat Decision Form”. Attention: You need to respect deadlines very strictly.
The “Summary Markstrat Decision Form” and the “Analysis of Key Strategic and Tactical Issues per Brand” should be submitted to the instructor in hard copy each time a decision is made (weekly).
Weekly schedule: a) Decisions are input on line on the dates specified in the course outline b) Results are available, c) the rest of the days: analysis, discussions, meetings, decisions…
As part of the 2nd Assessment, the Brand Manager must prepare to present the major strategic actions and results. See the file of the 2nd Assessment for details.

The “Other Side” Is Not Dumb OR Media Campaigns and The Perception of Reality

Background: The writing requirement is at a minimum of 500 words unless otherwise noted. One of the features of the blogging medium and the characteristics of individual posts is that length is determined by content and goals. Be sure that you are thorough in discussing the subject, topic, or issues at hand (See Responding to Text Document
Actions
[How I will evaluate your posts!]).
Responding to Text via your blog is required. Your posts should include 1) an entry that extends ideas of the topic being explored and 2) one that explores an area of interest particular to you. These posts should serve as exploratory, introductory writing toward larger, later assignments. I encourage you to offer an interpretation, ask a question, link to, a quote from and respond to texts we read this semester.
Blogging in this course should be concerned with the regular examination of ideas and provide concise writing via a unique viewpoint and voice. I encourage you to:
Find new ways of saying what you think you want to say.
Make clear to readers that there is substantive thought behind the ideas presented.
Push yourself to explore the ways you can get at ideas through the use of different media.
Have specific references, including text, hyperlinks, video, images, and audio, as a means of support.
See how things work and what happens when you make changes.
The more you engage with, customize, and explore your blog, the more effective it will be, and the more you will get out of the assignment.
Reminder: Blog entries should be thorough and be at least 500 words (while the focus is not on length, 500 words provides at least a minimum of some thoughtful writing) and are due per the due dates on the course schedule.
Responding to student posts: While you are not required to respond to another person’s posts, it is highly encouraged. Responding to other students will count for participation but more importantly, it will help in engaging in discussion outside of the classroom as well as motivating bloggers.

APA 7th edition format and citations

The instructions for the project are in a word document attachment.

For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You’ll use the short story “The bear came over the mountain” (Munro, 2013) and the film Away from Her (Egoyan et al., 2006). You will begin working on this assignment with reading, viewing, drafting;
For this essay, the short story is the source material. You are going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. First, you must establish the criteria. What makes the short story successful? You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You’ll write about these in the first section of your paper.
This essay should:
have specific criteria, using the short story as source material
use that criterion to make judgments about the film
support the judgment with evidence from the text and film
be 1000 words long
have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)
In this case, we’re making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis. Remember — this judgment is not about the film or text is good or bad. It’s about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story.
include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs
be written using APA formatting
use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page
avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)
be submitted as a MS Word .docx file
References and Citations:
Citation: (Munro, 2013).
Add paragraph numbers with direct quotes (Munro, 2013, para. 4).
All citations should be: (Egoyan et al., 2006).
Add timestamp number with direct quotes.

Although science, government, and news organizations have long used graphs to illustrate trends and significant relationships among variables, such applications came to a climax during the COVID-19 pandemic. Few real-life graphs are linear, so students need practice in interpreting them to grow into informed citizens.
Develop an original response to the following prompts:
Locate or develop a nonlinear graph of data illustrating a complex relationship (polynomial, rational, exponential, harmonic, or other relationship) which might be interesting to middle school students. (Do not use bar or circle graphs.) Some possible resources are provided on the Learning Objects page, or you can consult other web resources.
Take a screenshot or copy the image of the graph, and insert it into your original response. Include an APA citation of the source of the data or graph.
Write four questions you would pose to students to have them analyze and reason about the relationships represented by the graph.
Articulate what you would consider suitable student responses to your questions.
