I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

reply to these posts, from your perspective.

my perspective

Paraphrase

Philip Roth states that one of the benefits of literature is the incorporation of different perspectives into its narratives, which makes it possible for the individual to develop empathy towards others. Specifically, because literature allows readers to witness perspectives that are significantly different from their own, they are momentarily taken out of the isolation of their own perspectives. This, in turn, translate to a better empathetic reasoning in the real world, beyond the pages of fiction and nonfiction. Roth’s leap is possible because, just like with books, people also come with built-in narratives, which makes getting accustomed to the presentation and endearment of others with diverse narratives, whether in the confines of a book or in real life, empathy increases in the individual.

Application

Roth’s concept can be applied to the story “Girl”, by Jamaica Kincaid. In it, the author represents childhood and adolescence for a woman of her background – black, woman, foreigner, etc. – in a rather peculiar and interesting structure. Understanding the text fully can be difficult because of the reference to cultural-specific terms, but it is not difficult to develop a sense of empathy towards the narrator. It is clear that she is struggling with the mandates imposed on her and her overall circumstances, which generates sympathy from the reader even though her perspective is rather different from the reader.

Personal Reflection

I certainly agree with Roth’s stance about the advantages of reading and writing. Throughout the years, the books I have read have shown me that it is beneficial to be exposed to ideas different than one’s own, to learn more about the experiences and opinions of those around us. It really shows us that it is possible for literature to have an impact beyond the realm of artistic exercise, as it can bridge people together without need for direct interaction between two individuals, by connecting us to contrasting and diverging stories.

two posts from friends that u need to reply individually:

1st one:

As I unpack Roth’s quote, he mentions that he is able to set aside his narrow minded views and rather than be stuck with what academic and science has taught him, he is able to set his imagination free and create his own world. Fiction allows us to put aside theories and logic and not fear the judgement of falling into the world of fallacies and faults. He is able to dive into a world outside of his everyday life, in which he is imaginative. Often times we dream, but if we were to tell another person these dreams we would be scolded. Roth, “frequently blurs the line between reality and fiction. It is known for being intensely autobiographical, and energized by dialogue and elements of social and political commentary.” This makes perfect sense being that a majority of his writing involves sex and religion. These are subjects that culturally we are often told right from wrong, and to be careful when we speak.

Sensitive subjects such as sex and religion are talked about in holy books, therefore as a society we are taught to be politically correct in order that we not offend others. Roth sees power in the ability to set your own fears aside. He has done so by reading and writing in an imaginative way that combines his greatest questions about the world in a fictional manner that can inspire others to do so similarly. He ends his quote with a comparison, in which he states, “this is how I choose to write.” Ultimately he is speaking to his readers to convey his inspirations behind his words and stories.

2.

While Roth and Jamaica Kincaid’s writing styles are very different. The short story written by Jamaica Kincaid, Girl, is a great example as to why Roth has chosen to write nonfiction. In the story Girl it seems to be written in almost a handbook format. Roth would consider this to be very old-fashioned and boring. The author, plans out her weekly schedule and sets out rules in which you must adhere when completing activities. When you eat you must do so that will not upset another person’s stomach and when you buy clothes to check and make sure it is clean. Throughout Jamaica Kincaid’s story she phrases things such as, “this is how you set a table for breakfast; this is how to behave in front of men.” When she ends her short story with a question that makes you reconsider how your daily activities and how you go about daily rituals will be accepted within societal opinion based on traditional social norms. Roth would argue that this form of writing is not inspiring and imaginative, therefore it is dry and does not allow readers an escape from their everyday rituals and lives.

3.

I believe Roth makes a very good point as to why he chooses to write fiction. I believe readers pick up books with different intentions in mind. Personally, I love history and learning about historical events. I cannot get through novels that are scientific fiction, however there are some fiction novels that are based on true stories that can be made more exciting with writing styles such as Roth’s. I initially thought about stories such as Catcher in The Rye and Harry Potter which impacted me in a way similarly to Roth’s point of view. I encourage people to read and write a variety of writing methods such as fiction, non-fiction, and documentaries. Within these sects there are subsections. I can definitely see the benefit in Roth wanting to escape his reality and put aside rationality when it comes to writing fiction.

2nd one:

1. Paraphrase & Explanation

To paraphrase Philip Roth: I read fiction in order to forget about the place I am, the people around me, and my sense of self for the sake of being able to view the world through someone else’s eyes. I use the same method when I write.

Sometimes when reading a story, especially a good one, the hero or narrator is not just relatable, but the reader can strip away all sense of self and become the main character. It’s no longer the reader reviewing events that had unfolded in the past, but rather, now, the character living in the present.

1. Application

I hadn’t read “Girl” until completing part one, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It first seemed like a mundane list of tasks, then instructions, until I suddenly stopped hearing my voice, and heard Mama, the character I named, tell the girl, “…when buying cotton to make yourself a nice blouse, be sure that it don’t have gum on it…” (lines 3-4). It was here I could visualize Mama looking at the girl and through the girl, Mama was looking at me. Although the girl sheepishly said only a couple of things, I could easily picture Mama’s disapproval every time she warned the girl about being a slut.

1. Personal Reflection

I’ve always found it easy to see other people’s perspective, fiction or nonfiction. When I watch film or read a good story, I can picture myself walking in the main characters shoes. I think it’s healthy to escape from reality from time to time, I think it’s also an important ability when making daily decisions. When I was in high school, one of my favorite novels was The Beach by Alex Garland. The idea of adventure and finding a secluded place and needing to jump a waterfall to get there was an image I truly enjoyed visiting.

I’m stuck on a Business question and need an explanation.

For this assignment, list two to three business scandals or issues that interest you. The issues should be ones that can be framed in ethical terms or in terms of corporate social responsibility. For example, you may be interested in consumer privacy and wonder if it is acceptable for companies such as Amazon to collect and track your digital footprint for marketing purposes or you may be interested in the broader question of the purpose of a corporation: is it for shareholder wealth maximization or is it for the value of all stakeholders, not just shareholders?

I’m studying and need help with a Psychology question to help me learn.

his week we are discussing different types of research methods used to study cognitive development, including longitudinal designs, cross-sectional designs, observational studies, and clinical interviews.

Using the Keiser University Online Library…

1. find a journal article discussing an experiment that was conducted on cognitive development.
2. In a 1-2 page paper, describe the experiment, including the subjects, how the experiment was conducted, and the results.
3. Discuss the type of research method used.
4. Then, evaluate the experiment. Was it conducted effectively? Do you agree with the choice in research method? Would you recommend any adjustments to make the experiment more successful?

I’m working on a Computer Science exercise and need support.

Help me study for my Accounting class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Below are two unrelated cases involving marketable equity securities. Explain how the information provided affects the classification, carrying value, and income reported for that company’s investment securities.

1. The balance sheet of a company does not classify assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent. The portfolio of available-for-sale equity securities includes securities normally considered current that have a net cost in excess of market value of $2,000. The remainder of the portfolio has a net market value in excess of cost of $5,000.
2. A company’s noncurrent portfolio of marketable equity securities consists of the common stock of one company. At the end of the prior year, the market value of the security was 50% of original cost, and this effect was properly reflected in a Valuation Adjustment account. However, at the end of the current year, the market value of the security had appreciated to twice the original cost. The security is still considered noncurrent at year-end.

Help me study for my Law class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

In this course, we have been learning about the different eras of policing, from the inception of the first police force in 1829 to the current era of policing today. Based on the current climate, there is a level of distrust today between the police and the public. Riots, marches, and protests in response to high-profile police shootings have eroded the relationships that were built through community policing. With the hopes of improving police efficiency and finding new approaches to working together with the public, the country is again ready for a new era of policing.

Use the Internet and your textbook to research the different eras of policing until today. Based on the changing role and function of police officers over the years, address the questions below relative to the current state of policing and where we are headed in the future. As an optional component of this assignment for extra credit, you may also interview a law enforcement professional to get his/her explanation on this topic.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Examine at least (2) of the eras of policing and discuss their main strengths and weaknesses.
2. Examine at least two (2) issues facing law enforcement today and explain the impact both of these issues have on social order.
3. Take a position on where law enforcement is headed in the next five (5) years. Discuss what you believe the future of policing looks like and the main challenges you think law enforcement will face.
4. Describe the role of the public in cooperation with the police, as you see it, in the near future in order to improve the relationship between these groups and to work together optimally in facing the future challenges you identified.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Distinguish the relationship of criminal justice to social justice and the wider notion of equity and fairness.
• Summarize the mission of law enforcement in democratic societies and describe the structure of American policing today.
• Summarize the current ethical issues faced by criminal justice professionals and future of the criminal justice system.

J350 | PR Newswire Analyses Rationale & Details

One of our core functions as a public relations practitioner is to tell the public what’s happening at our organization. We report our organization’s news, telling our organization’s story. We do so in a variety of ways, including on our website, via the news media, and across our social media channels. One great place to see this process in action is PR Newswire. On three occasions I want you to go to PRnewswire.com, pick a news release of your choice, and then do a little digging and analysis. First, tell me what they’re announcing. Second, search to see if any traditional news outlets have covered it. Third, see if the organization has posted anything online or via their social media channels. Who are they targeting specifically, and who else might be affected? Is the news getting out there beyond this one news release? What are your recommendations for other things they could do to improve?

I don’t know how to handle this Economics question and need guidance.

The Law of Demand

The “Law of Demand” says that output increases when price falls, all else equal. That is, demand curves slope downward. But sometimes we see the price of a good rise when output increases. For example, lithium is used in rechargeable batteries for computers, phones, other electronic goods, and even certain cars. Demand for lithium was low as recently as the early 2000s. Since then, both the price of lithium and the production of lithium have more than doubled.

Start your discussion post by responding to this question:

• What could explain the simultaneous increases in the price of lithium and the production of lithium? Use supply and demand curves to explain your answer. (Hint: Price and equilibrium quantity have both increased. Would a shift in the demand curve or a shift in the supply curve lead to this result?)

Principles of Economics, Chapter 3: Demand and Supply
