Of Mice and Men The story Of Mice and Men is one of the most well known novels throughout the world. This very popular book is a favorite of many people. So many people can remember the name Lennie. I will explain some of the important factors as well as details in this story. One of the more memorable characters is definitely George Milton. He is Lennie's best friend. George is the kind of guy who will protect Lennie from anybody. He is a nice guy as long as you are nice to him and Lennie. George's best friend Lennie is probably the most memorable character in the book. His full name is Leonard Small. Which could mean he is strong as a lion but slow, as in dumb. One thing about Lennie Is the fact that every animal he touches he usually kills it. The reason he did this is the fact that he did not know his own strength. Curley, the bosses' son is a bully. He does not like Lennie because Lennie is big. Curley doesn't like big people because he is small himself. He believes he can boss people around because he is the bosses' son. His wife is a flirt. She wants everybody at the Ranch. Curley doesn't like that so he tries to keep her in the house. Slim is like the head of the ranch because he knows what is going on and everybody likes him. He is the kind of guy you would want as a friend. He is called a Jerkline skinner. He is a person that is very easy
'Ruthless leader....loving brother....boring Puritan....gracious victor.' Explore the way in which Shakespeare presents the character of Octavius Caesar in 'Antony
'Ruthless leader....loving brother....boring Puritan....gracious victor.' Explore the way in which Shakespeare presents the character of Octavius Caesar in 'Antony and Cleopatra' Shakespeare portrays Octavius Caesar as a very complex character in 'Antony and Cleopatra.' Shakespeare shows the audience how he has very strong feelings about War, leadership, the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra, and his sister Octavia. These attitudes can be seen as being too rational, too ambitious, and too efficient. However it is these characteristics which in some ways, form the particular contrast with Antony, which shows us his complex character, which also contributes to the conflicts which arise in the play. Shakespeare is very clever in the portrayal of Caesar; he uses Caesar as a foil for Antony, however he is a character in his own right. Shakespeare shows Caesar to be, what you could say, a contradiction. The audience see how Caesar respects Antony's soldier-ship yet still fights him; they see how he clearly loves his sister, but uses her unscrupulously as a political device; and they are shown how he is very rational and dull, yet he surprisingly tells his soldiers, as well as some Egyptians about how he would parade the defeated Cleopatra. He wants to do this because he feels that 'her life in Rome would be eternal in our triumph.' This shows the reader how Caesar has
Universe - Definitions
Quasars Possibly extremely dense neutron stars giving off radiation. Once thought to be the bright centre of other galaxies. Pulsars These are neutron stars that emit an enourmous amount of radiation. They spin hundreds of times a second and we pick up the radio waves on Earth. Neutron Stars Formed from very large stars collapsing. Between 10 and 100 km in diameter a they can have a mass many times that of the sun. A star 8 times that of the sun creates a neutron star 1.5 times that of the sun. The rest of the mass is blown into the space. Black Holes Black holes that are worth considering are only found at the centre of galaxies. The centre of every galaxy has a black hole. It keeps the galaxy together with its immense gravity and is 10 times denser than what would be expected if there were just stars at the centre of our galaxy. Nothing escapes, not even light. Photons are captured and added to the gravity. 0 point field No dimensions. Cells take light from it to tell other cells where to go in growing. Where does gravity come from? There is infinite energy from gravity so in theory it could be converted into infinite
Compare the effectiveness of different transmission methods.
unit 10 communication technologies D2 compare the effectiveness of different transmission methods. Comparison of the effectiveness of different transmission methods are chosen in particular situation for a technological technology has progressed to a number than any other technology has ever progressed to, thus this progress has enabled for data to be transmitted using wireless technology. The following, mobile phones, radio, microwave and the internet are all a type of communication methods that use the technological advancement in wireless data transmissions. The wireless data transmission is a type of system that will transmit invisible electromagnetic waves to transmit data over a long/short range within a short amount of time. Of course there are many more ways to transmit information or data signals over a transmission method and this is only one way to send information or data signals. Radio: effectiveness of different transmission radio is basically a wireless media that transfers data by carrying electromagnetic waves with maybe long or short transmission (frequency) to distant or close by location in just a very short amount of time and it does that through the electrical conductor and the antenna that is attached to the radio. The electromagnetic waves that the radio sends with either the low and long frequency are regulated by the federal communication
Key influences on an individual's learning
Unit 6 Personal Professional Development Annie Plant Health Science P1 In this assignment I am going to explain key influences on the personal learning process of individuals. The key influences of learning are: health, motivation, Learning style, IT skills, Access to study centre, specific learning needs, Attitude and self discipline, Lifestyle Care responsibilities, Study space, employment. There are many different key influences on an individual’s learning processes and each of these all have an effect on the individuals learning processes and abilities. The first influence is called formal and informal learning. Informal learning is personal; the individual is responsible for gaining knowledge. Informal learning is forced by some else usually through a formal training programme for example a class taught by a teacher. Informal learning is where the individual intentionally gets the information for themselves via such as textbooks, the internet, media, etc. Formal learning is impersonal; it is planned learning that derives from activities within a structured learning setting. This structured learning setting includes the hierarchically structured school system that runs from primary school through to university and specific training for a job. Another influence is sensory learning. There are four sensory learning styles: the first is kinaesthetic learning which
Assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative promoting anti discrimination practice.
M2 Assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative promoting anti discrimination practice. There are several national policies and legislation in place to make sure that individuals are not discriminated based on their circumstances. These national policies such as the mental health act and the mental capacity act of 2005. Mental health Act 1983 as amended in 2007 with the mental capacity act is guide for health care to follow for the benefits and protecting the rights of people with mental disorder with the primary objective to make sure individuals can receive effective care and treatment. The Mental Health Act (1983) is a significant statutory framework for anybody working within the mental health. The Mental Health Act of 1983 covers the detention of people deemed a risk to themselves or others. This provides a framework for decision making, by providing a logical format in which balances the law and legal values in order for a mental health worker to reach a decision of action. Mental health patient are the most discriminated in health care setting, this is due to the presentation. There is the tendency of mental ill patient being stigmatised by the public and even health care professionals who they are under their care. Therefore the government enact this piece of legislation. This act came into force in 2007 after series of reported abuse and neglect

Unit 4: Development Through the Life Stages
Jessica Bascombe 20174011 Unit 4: Development Through the Life Stages M3: Cardiovascular System: With increasing age the heart becomes more vulnerable to disease as individuals age they develop narrow arteries and other blood vessels this is because the blood vessels become covered with fat such as cholesterol. This can cause high blood pressure this can lead to the risk of strokes and heart attacks. This could affect Eminem’s self esteem as he would have a lack of confidence and maybe scared to face the difficulty. Respiratory System: As individuals age they are vulnerable to diseases such as emphysema it is a disease in which the air sacs in the lungs become damaged this can cause a shortness of breath and heart failure. Elderly individuals are also vulnerable to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease this is when there is an obstruction on the airflow such as brominates. Eminem would become upset because he could have a chance of getting these type of diseases many parts of the body such as chest muscles and lungs may reduce because they are not working properly this is because the body of the individual is becoming weaker Eminem would have a lack of confidence and also may have a decrease in his self esteem as he wouldn’t socialize much with others. Nervous System: Nerve cell may begin to transmit messages more slowly and the waste products can collect in the
Is war Inevitable?
What is war? Many people think of it as fighting for something and others think of it as a struggle. War is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as a quarrel usually between nations conducted by force. In my opinion war is never going to end, it is inevitable. If war comes to an end it will be from failure of human wisdom. As far as we know, war has always been part of our human history, and it probably occurred from time to time, in one form or another, even throughout our prehistory, that is, for as far back as humans existed. Why do people have war? My answer is so that they can accomplish political objectives, such as to move borders or move them back to acquire land or get it back, to acquire resources or get them back. Also they may join a war to protect an ally. I feel countries get involved in war for benefit for themselves. The reason why wars start is the exact same thing: where countries want other countries land, or resources. Or perhaps another country's government wronged them. There are also wars of religion. Then there are civil wars, usually occurring because the people are not happy with the government (not always though). Then there are people like Hitler, who have personal reasons. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, also called the Nazi Party. He was the ruler of Germany from 1933
English Coursework Text Transformation Commentary
English Coursework Text Transformation Commentary I chose to transform the 19th century poem "Maude Clare", by Christina Rossetti into a contemporary magazine article by interviewing the characters from the poem as though it were a true story for the audience to read for entertainment. I chose the "Maude Clare" poem because I found it interesting to read and could imagine reading it as a story from a book or from a magazine or newspaper article. The poem has a dramatic storyline of a bride and groom being embarrassed after they leave the church. The storyline would cause a scandal and would appeal to a wide audience who thrive on gossip. E.g. a tabloid newspaper or a glossy magazine. I decided the article would be written for a glossy magazine. Maude Clare and Lord Thomas are getting married at the church, and just as everything seems perfect, their wedding day is disrupted when the grooms ex girlfriend turns up to announce she is pregnant. Neither the bride nor the groom experience joy during the occasion because of Maude Clare's patent presence. Her presence sullies the marriage between Nell and him, adding conflict to the wedding. Rosseti contrasts Maude Clare and the bride throughout the poem. I transformed the poem by writing it as a story as though I am the reporter interviewing the guests at the wedding. I modernised the story by making Nell and Tom ordinary
