Rachel Ray Vs. Paula Dean
Jessica M. Bird Ms. Castro Compare and Contrast Cooking Shows English 101 22 October 2009 Rachel Ray Vs. Paula Deen On television today there are many different cooking shows. There are the contests one as well as the home cooking. The home cooking actually teaches you how to cook a meal and are more enjoyable. Rachel Ray and Paula Deen are the two most popular hosts. In a lot of aspects the shows are very similar, but at the same time they are different. Showing individual how to make different meals/snacks is the point of this show. Yet each has a different target audience. Paula targets families more because she is making meals the entire family can enjoy. Rachel also does this, but she targets the party throwers as well. Not high school, college parties, but adult get togethers. The target audience is pertinent because it will draw different people to your show. The setting of both of these home-cooking shows is a kitchen. However the two kitchens are very different. Rachel's kitchen if full of bright color, looking like an average home in seventies. The walls are made of green tiles and all of the cabinets are a bright orange. She has fruit bowls on the counters that are made of wood. All of the colors are a little distracting. The colors also clash, green and orange do not go well together, and neither does the brown counter tops. Modern kitchens do
Discuss, with Illustrations from your own Observations and Study of Children Acquiring Language, what you Consider to be the Relative Importance of Social Environment and the Child's Innate Faculties in its Acquisition of Language.
Discuss, with Illustrations from your own Observations and Study of Children Acquiring Language, what you Consider to be the Relative Importance of Social Environment and the Child's Innate Faculties in its Acquisition of Language During the first four to five years of life, a human will learn how to articulate most of the sounds of English speech and acquire the ability to produce correctly structured sentences, take part in spoken dialogue and use language in order to learn, express emotions and to make personal contact. However, is the human's ability to do this due to nature - innate language learning faculties that every human automatically possesses, or nurture - the belief that humans only develop language as a form of communication as a result of being exposed to language and being encouraged to use it from an early stage? The nature versus nurture debate is a conundrum which has interested humans for centuries, prompting even illiterate Indian Mogul, Akbar the Great, to carry out experiments on this precise subject. He placed thirty new-born babies into a home where mute wet-nurses cared for them, in order to see if these children would be able to learn how to communicate without the 'nurture' aspect of a normal child's language development. The results were as follows - "When these children appeared before the emperor, they were found incapable of expressing
The defeat of the Spanish Armada.
THE DEFEAT OF THE SPANISH ARMADA The Spanish Armada was a powerful navy that attempted to enter England by force in 1588. This navy had been called previously "The Invincible Armada", because the Spaniards thought that it could not be defeated (The History of...). Philip II of Spain had many reasons to want to get rid of Queen Elizabeth. For a long time, English ships had been attacking Spanish treasure ships and raiding Spanish settlements in the Americas. Queen Elizabeth declined punishing the privateers and would not return the treasures that they had acquired. Another reason was the making of England an uncomfortable country for Catholics, since they could be fined or kept captive for not attending the Protestant Church. As she encouraged Protestant ideas, she was willing to fight against Catholic Spain. English troops had been fighting together with the Dutch rebels in their war opposing their Spanish rulers (Shenkman). The mentioned fleet was made up of 130 ships and 30,000 men, the majority of which were soldiers. On the other hand, the English carried no army at all, and only 16,000 sailors, along with long-range cannons on low quick ships to get manoeuvrability. The unforgettable Spanish defeat by the English comes still as a surprise for many, who cannot understand how they could crush a navy of such size. The commander of the armada was the Duke of
Compare And Contrast – The Trout And Crackling Day
Compare And Contrast - The Trout And Crackling Day In this essay I aim to examine the themes of childhood in the short stories 'The Trout' and 'Crackling Day'. I will go about this by examining the words, thoughts and actions of the characters that the authors have created. I will also examine the social attitudes of the time period in which the stories were written and how they relate to the theme of childhood in both stories. The Trout is about a 12 year old girl called Julia who when exploring finds a trout in a well. Eventually she sets it free in to the local river. Crackling Day is about the journey of a little boy in Johannesburg, South Africa, to collect some crackling from the something or other. The first impression I got from The Trout was one of confusion. The fairy tale style of the story made it not very realistic. It was almost as if the story was written 'out-of-this-world' which made the story odd. The first impression that I got of the main character, Julia, was that she was very sarcastic and rude. However when I re-read the story I realised why she was acting that way. I think that she acted that way because she was trying to grow up. The themes within The Trout and Crackling Day are both treated in a different way despite the fact that they both have the same theme of childhood. Crackling Day uses more language and descriptive words to illustrate his
To what extent are beliefs, thoughts and knowledge restricted or helped by the language which can be used to express them?
TOK: To what extent are beliefs, thoughts and knowledge restricted or helped by the language which can be used to express them? For: * If a person is really interested in something or someone they will have such passion for this thing that they will use as many positive and detailed descriptions. This can be due to people's thought processes and perhaps the individual is really keen on allowing someone else to get the full picture (understanding) of their idea that they will want it to be as accurate as possible. However, in some languages, such a thorough portrayal can be described by the use of only one word. For instance, in the Australian language, Pintupi, the word 'katara', is the hole that a goanna makes when it has broken the surface of its burrow after hibernation. Here, we can see that it takes many words to reproduce the meaning that the Australians are able to conjure in one sole word. This is probably the effect of the regular use of this translated phrase, which probably reflects the Australian's beliefs and traditions. * Language is different for each individual and the idea of language will affect this person's outlook on life, his or her future tactics on situations and also the way in which he or she remembers. E.g. American Indians, Hopi, were said to view the world in a much different way to others. They treated words such as 'lightning' and 'wave' only
The Great Gatenby.
The Great Gatenby "'Which one of us is which, sir?' I asked, then wished I hadn't as Gilligan lit up like a fireworks display." (Marsden, 1989; 81) That is the story of Erle Gatenby's first term at Linley. A normal teenager troubled by going to school, teachers, girls, and, of course, getting into trouble. Since the first day at his new school Erle had a crush on the rebellious, sexy Melanie Tozer. During the course of the novel they developed a steady relationship, which caused them to become isolated from their friends and receive unwanted attention from teachers, especially Gilligan. "He had a line about how spending so much time in each others company meant that we were antisocial and were isolating ourselves from 'the group'." (Marsden, 1989; 41) Erle and Melanie had a major influence on each other that drove them towards a lot of trouble. Smoking was the cause of most of this but it seemed to bring them closer together. It is a daily routine for them to sneak out and go to their favourite spot for a quiet smoke. Getting into trouble was not the only thing they had in common. They were both good in the water, Erle at swimming, Melanie at diving. They both shared the experience of the early 6 o'clock training session. The more they saw each other, the stronger their relationship seemed to get. During the early stages of the relationship they didn't take their
Behind the Canvas
Behind the canvas the shadow loomed large and dangerous. The head was enormous and it seemed to be floating in the air. The feet, as long as canoes, would rise and fall as the other elongated shadow moved up towards the top of the tent. As John entered the tent, the head burst. It was a balloon, a silly childish prank. The shadow, a petite ten year old. Falling on top of his mates in laughter, John started to come round from his ever-lasting laughing fit. "That was the worst monster I've ever seen," laughed James. " It wasn't as bad as your go yesterday!" chuckled David. "OK, but you have to say that that was awful David," James stated. " Time for some real stories I think." "Not ghost stories, James they're boring," whined John. "Not a ghost story, John, a real story..." The time was 2-45pm and there was only fifteen minutes until kick-off and the road was deserted. A piece of tumbleweed blew across the pavement. A bulky shadow squeezed under the thin barriers and a tall, chunky middle-aged man was walking across the road towards the ground. By his side his son, a skinny seven year old. They rushed through the busy traffic and into the long never-ending passageway, which reflected the sight of a Leviathan winding through the prehistoric woodlands, towards the stadium. The boy was furiously tugging his father's hand in an attempt to arrive on time. Stopping 100m from
Journey's End Raleigh
IOP Essay: Character of Raleigh In Journey's End, R.C. Sheriff presents a myriad of characters, all of which serve a different purpose. R.C. Sheriff has specially created the character of Raleigh to provide an accurate view of the realities of war as well as the emotions felt by every officer, who is new and fresh to the war scene. The playwright has effectively utilized Raleigh's emotions and attitude to reveal his inexperienced nature, and young and fresh mind. Raleigh, as such, is a round and dynamic character as well as a supporting character that evolves throughout the play. Moreover, the character of Raleigh has a variety of functions, which includes the evoking of important themes, moving the plot forward and revealing the emotions and thoughts of other characters. Throughout the play, Raleigh proves to be a benchmark for other character as he has qualities that are contrary to other characters in different ways. Therefore, the character of Raleigh is extremely essential to Journey's End. Raleigh is a young, fresh and inexperienced officer, "just out from England". He is also the only soldier, who has never "been up on the line before". Raleigh's inexperienced nature is well-highlighted through several methods throughout the entire play. Firstly, R.C. Sheriff describes the way he carries out himself in the trenches in front of other officers for the first few days to

Can We Paint With All the Colours of the Wind? Some may think that we own the earth and we can do whatever we want to it. Most of the time, we are more concerned about making our lives more comfortable even though we are already living in a modern city like Hong Kong. Every day we consume energy and fail to recognize how we should do it in a more environmentally friendly way. Little do people know the story behind energy and how it is connected to the quality of our lives and our planet. Where does energy come from? It comes from burning fossil fuels. From heating our homes, to fuelling our cars, and to manufacturing our MP3 players, energy is produced and consumed naturally. Fossil fuels are either burned directly or burned in power stations to drive turbines which generate electricity. Every time we burn fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. In a natural carbon cycle, carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However, the rate we are producing carbon dioxide is so quick that plants and trees have no chance of absorbing it. These extra carbon emissions are affecting our earth's atmosphere. Therefore, to maintain a better future, we ought to reduce our carbon emission. In addition, all this extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere changes the overall temperature of the planet. It is rising, causing what
McFly Radio:ACTIVE Music Review
Release date: 22nd September 2008 Over the past 5 years in the spotlight, McFly have constantly been chucked back and forth between critics like a piece of bait between angry dogs - being criticized for being too pop or trying to be too rock, for being young and for being tied together with the name "boyband". And what do they have to say back to this continuous battle to win over the charts and the crowds? This album. Filled with provocative lyrics and catchy tunes to fight back to the critics and put them in the top spot after scoring sixteen singles in the top 10, seven of which fought to number one. Originally released for free in The Mail On Sunday newspaper on 20th July 2008, the band planned a rerelease of the album featuring four extra tracks and a DVD of the recording of the album in Australia. The newspaper's normal circulation went up by 300,000 when the album was released as fans sold out shops to get their hands on the exclusive paperback album. An astounding 2.5 million copies were given away in total while the recent rereleased deluxe version peaking at number 8 in the UK album chart and also had success in other worldwide: Japan, Europe and South America to name a few. Singer and guitarist Tom Fletcher revealed, "We get to put it into almost three million homes, which is an incredible opportunity for us. Hopefully the three million people will all enjoy the
