Olivia has gotten a new job. She is a hardworking person and has always succeeded at whatever she has set her
mind to through hard work. Tomorrow is her first day of
work.
Which of the following stage directions best convey the basic elements of
this character?
A. Olivia dashes into her bedroom. She scrambles frantically to
locate a pen, which she uses to scrawl a hasty note. She flings the
note into her purse, flings herself - fully clothed – with equal
energy into her bed, and the room goes silent. A moment later, a
hand reaches out and finds the light switch. The room goes dark.
B. Olivia sits motionless at her computer, playing a video game with
zombie-like intensity. Her roommate peeks her head in the door,
points to the clock, and gestures as though to say, "Isn't it late?"
Without looking directly at her, Olivia shoos her away with her
hand and continues playing.
C. Olivia saunters into her bedroom laughing enthusiastically on her
phone. The clock reads 2:25. She kicks off a shoe violently. It hits
the wall, an event she ignores. She steps out of the other shoe and
lies on the bed, mumbling noises of uncommitted conversation.
D. Olivia walks into her bedroom purposefully. Neatly stacked on a
desk is the portfolio from McCormick Inc. and a set of reference
books. On a wardrobe hangs a pressed suit. A note on the
computer reads "Bedtime 9:30 tonight!"

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

actually the answer would be c.) jane addams worked hard to improve the lives of less fortunate people.

awnser:

the thousand and one nights – or, as i prefer to call them in the following forpurely practical reasons: the arabian nights – as we perceive them three hundredyears after antoine galland’s epochal french adaptation bear a distinct arabicimprint. meanwhile, the commonly accepted model for their textual historyacknowledges various stages in the conceptualization and effective formation ofboth the collection’s characteristic frame story and the embedded repertoire. thevast majority of tales in the preserved manuscripts of the nights has beenintegrated into the collection during two periods of arabic influence, the so-calledbaghdad and cairo periods (gerhardt 1963: 115–374). these “arabic” stages arepreceded by an iranian version, probably dating to pre-islamic times, which in itsturn profits from both structural devices and narrative contents originating fromindian tradition. considering the eminent position that iran and iranian culturehold in the early stages of the textual history of the arabian nights, surprisinglyfew details are known concerning the collection’s relation to and its actualposition within the iranian cultural context. in the following, i will discuss linksbetween the arabian nights and iranian culture on several levels. in surveyingthese links, i will treat five major areas: (1) the iranian prototype of the nights; (2) tales of alleged persian origin; (3) persian characters within the tales; (4)persian translations of the arabian nights; and (5) the position of the arabiannights in modern iran
