By examining the two characters, what they say and how They respond to the news of Eva Smith's death, show how Priestley uses BIRLING and SHEILA differently in order to make his points about MORALITY AND RESPONSIBILITY To his first AUDIENCE in 1946 The play An Inspector Calls, wrote by J.B. Priestley, was written in 1946. An Inspector Calls was set in 1912. Priestley chose this era to set An Inspector Calls because it was before both wars and most of the audience would know the history from the past 40 years. This fact helped Priestley to portray Birling as a pompous businessman who thinks he knows everything. He describes how the Titanic is unsinkable, how there will not be war (although in two years WWI begins), and that by 1940 there will be peace. Birling is extremely proud that he used to be Lord Mayor and he is hoping that he will get a knighthood. Birling says to Gerald after dinner, "there's a fair chance that I might find my into the next honours list. Just a knighthood, of course." The 'of course' part at the end of the little speech I think shows Birling would be very disappointed if he didn't get a knighthood. J.B. Priestley subverts the detective genre, which was very popular at the time. When an audience read the book, or sat down to watch the production, they would immediately think that there was going to be an ironclad murderer. This was not the case as
'Shakespeare's Presentation of love in Romeo and Juliet Reveals a World of Passion, Violence and Death.' How does Shakespeare Explore These Themes?
William Bowles. 'Shakespeare's Presentation of love in Romeo and Juliet Reveals a World of Passion, Violence and Death.' How does Shakespeare Explore These Themes? The passion displayed by Romeo and Juliet abruptly unlocks a world of love and inevitable tragedy. The linguistic stress on violence and death is foreboding because of the conflict of the opposing Capulets and Montagues. Throughout the play the connection of love and disaster is repeatedly made with the use of language and characterisation. The eponymous characters display their passionate love in the balcony scene, when Juliet is concerned for Romeo's safety: 'And the place death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find you here.' Even when their love is yet to mature, Juliet's speech already anticipates Death as a consequence of their love. Juliet is submissive, but the power of her love turns her into a mature and self-sufficient woman. Romeo replies 'Life were better ended by their hate, Than death prolonged, wanting of thy love.' The language to this intrepid and spirited act provides an insight to Romeo's highly amorous and profound character. Their love is like a flame destined to blaze fervidly, and no concern of death is capable of extinguishing it. As Romeo indicated here he would rather die than live without Juliet. The correlation love and death is portrayed with clever use of language
How does Shakespeare use language to convey Prospero's character in act one scene two
How does Shakespeare use language to convey Prosperos character in Act 1 Scene 2? Shakespeare shows his characters to be unique. They each have extraordinary characteristics ands personalities in the play. The main character whom I am going to concentrate on is Prospero. I will be focusing on his gestures and language and how this suits his character in the tempest. Prospero is a powerful, sharp, determined and a loving farther. He is willing to change and can also become mercurial at times. Prospero is considerate yet stern. So how does Shakespeare use language to convey prosperos character? Example one: Prospero uses similes, metaphors and detailed description to emphasis the horror of Ariel's situation before he came to the island. This highlights his own power as he sets Ariel free. "She did confine thee.... into a cloven pine". Here Prospero is reminding Ariel of what he's been through (Sycorax) Prospero is conveying his power and mercy upon Ariel. Prospero keeps using blackmail against Ariel (so Ariel can stay and serve Prospero). Prospero quotes "Once a month recount what thou hast been" Here Prospero is convincing Ariel to once a month recount and remind himself of what he's been through and that Prospero has helped Ariel through his bad times. This now gives Ariel no chance but to listen to Prospero under pressure and for giving short
To what extent are areas of knowledge shaped by their past? Consider with reference to two areas of knowledge.
Transfer-Encoding: chunked To what extent are areas of knowledge shaped by their past? Consider with reference to two areas of knowledge. In an attempt to better understand truth, humans have been developing various knowledge frameworks over centuries. Although we may accept a certain set of knowledge claims in the present, we often build on past developments in order to do so. This raises the question: To what extent have past developments shaped our understanding of current knowledge areas? I will be exploring this question in reference to two areas of knowledge: religious knowledge systems and mathematics. Religions are based on a set of beliefs which are commonly derived from the teachings of a particular religious founder and outlined in a sacred religious text that acts as an authority on all religious knowledge. These texts and teachings are essentially an artefact of the past as they are based on past events, as recorded by our ancestors. The Koran for example, is a record of the God’s revelations as spoken to Muhammed during his life while the Bible records Jesus’s life and his journey to absolve humans of all sin. Followers of a certain religion have faith that their teachings will not alter from day to day and that is why they obey them. The recording of religious knowledge in scripture means that central beliefs of a religion, such as the noble eightfold
Why is Aluminium utilised in the contemporary world, for the construction of aircraft and rockets, more so than other metals and substances?
Why is Aluminium utilised in the contemporary world, for the construction of aircraft and rockets, more so than other metals and substances? Aluminium is used extravagantly in the contemporary world, primarily due to its unique structure and desirable properties. Further, aluminium is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust; thus, scarcity is not a problem. It is a member of the Boron group of chemical elements, and is ‘the most widely used non-ferrous metal’ (Planet Ark, 2010). It has the symbol Al, and its atomic number is 13. It is necessary to consider the fact that ‘pure aluminium is not often used as it has poor mechanical properties. It is usually alloyed with other metals or silicon’ (Chemical Industry Education Centre, 2011). A key area in which aluminium alloys are utilised is for the construction of aircraft and rockets. Aircraft manufacturers use high-strength aluminium alloys for the construction of aircraft and rockets. This is because aluminium (the predominant element of the alloy) is able to be compounded with other metals and substances, is highly malleable, resistant to corrosion and consists of a high strength to density ratio, in comparison to other metals. ‘Aluminium is used in virtually all segments of the aircraft, missile and spacecraft industry-in airframes, engines, accessories, and tankage for liquid fuel and oxidizers’
This report will focus on Inbev Company. This is where I spent my work experience. The company produces the largest amount of Stella in the world.
Work Experience Introduction This report will focus on Inbev Company. This is where I spent my work experience. The company produces the largest amount of Stella in the world. Stella Artois is a Belgian lager beer brewed in Leuven, Belgium by InBev (formerly InterBrew). Although the Artois brewery was established in 1366 (named Den Horen, "the horn" at the time), the brew as it is commonly known today did not arrive on the scene until 1926. Colloquially known as Stella, it is the most popular premium lager in the UK beer market, and is being heavily promoted as an international brand by InBev. I worked in three main areas * Technicians * Engineers * Micro Lab The technicians mainly concentrated on two areas, the C.H.P and the RO plant. These main areas were important for the running and well being of the plant. The C.H.P which stands for combined heat and power turns the excess heat from the plant into electricity which can either be stored to run the plant or be sold on to the electricity companies. R.O stands for Reverse Osmosis. Reverse Osmosis takes all of the minerals out of the water; this means the brewery can put what ever minerals they want back into the water. On the engineering side of the work they concentrated on how everything works in the plant If a motor failed the engineers fix it. They also worked with effluent this is waste water. This is then

Who or what is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet and why did Shakespeare set two innocent against a backdrop of violence? Romeo and Juliet is about two innocent "star-crossed lovers" meeting at a ball. They both get married the next day without their parents' knowledge and Romeo, after the marriage is involved in a fight, where he kills Juliet's cousin, Tybalt. The Prince banishes Romeo from Verona and at the end of the play, both Romeo and Juliet commit suicide due to their family feud. In this essay, I shall be discussing at whom or what is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet and why did Shakespeare set these two innocents amidst such turmoil and hatred. In order to do this I will also be considering these two issues; which characters in the play might be responsible for this and how fate has a part in this. The parents of Juliet have a tremendous effect on their lives. They began by arranging a marriage for their naïve and innocent daughter. Lord Capulet's reaction to Juliet's refusal to wed Paris was ferocious "Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch!" Capulet wants to murder his own daughter his "fingers itch." He finally tells her that unless she approves her wedding with Paris he would disown her "I'll ne'er acknowledge thee,

Running Head: World Trade Organisation World Trade Organisation [Writer's Name] [Institute's Name] World Trade Organisation Introduction The 'World Trade Organisation' is a global entity that is responsible for creating and regulating different statutes and policies for trading of goods and services on international level. According to the BBC (2011), "the World Trade Organisation is an international body whose purpose is to promote free trade by persuading countries to abolish import tariffs and other barriers. As such, it has become closely associated with globalisation. Their mission is to help firms and producers of goods and services, importers and exporters improve their profit." Advantages WTO has a number of benefits. Firstly, WTO's trading system encourages peace between nations. In particular, when nations carry out trading with each other without any conflict, they subsequently resolve a number of trading issues and build long-term relationships. This leads to the creation of peace between them. In addition, the trading system also forces enhancement of confidence and teamwork between nations. For example, earlier, people who sell products and services used to hesitate due to trade disputes with their international customers. However, after WTO, the trading has now become a smooth process, and both the seller and the buyer are satisfied with the exchange,
The two businesses that I have decided to investigate are Sealy Beds and Asda.
Business Assignment The two businesses that I have decided to investigate are Sealy Beds and Asda. I have chosen these two businesses because they are local and easily accessible, in the past either a family member or me have shopped in it. These two businesses are quite the opposite; Sealy Beds manufactures their own products and sell them to different stores. Whereas Asda buys their products off other brands and sells them in there own supermarkets. General Information on Sealy Beds Sealy Beds UK is a part of the Silentnight group that is based in Lancashire. The brand came to the UK in1974 and it is located in Aspatria, West Cumbria. In Aspatria it operates 200,000 square foot manufacturing plant; it supplies beds to retailers all over the UK. In the year 1999 Sealy Beds celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. Sealy is primarily an American owned company, Sealy brand is also made in many other countries including: * Australia * New Zealand * Canada * The West Indies * South Africa * Japan * Israel * Thailand When Sealy started making beds its annual turnover was a mere £450,000, but Sealy started to flourish and it has now established itself among the leading bed manufacturers such as Sleep Easy, Millbrook, Myers and Slumberland. General Information on Asda Asda has made itself the best value food and clothing superstore. Asda became part of 'The Wal-Mart

Analysis of DEFRA and Animal Aid Within the past few months, I have been exploring a range of texts centralising around the theme of animal welfare. Each text consisting of its own unique layout, language and ways in which the writer conveys their ideas to the audience. Two texts I have studied in detail are the 'DEFRA' website (text 1) and the 'Animal Aid leaflet' (text 2) The discussion of this essay shall consist of a comparison of these two texts focusing how the writer uses presentation and language to communicate their ideas and perspectives to the audience. To commence text 1- the DEFRA website is an advice text and its intended audience are adults- particularly ones who own pets or are in the agricultural industry and are in contact with animals on a daily basis The purpose of the DEFRA text is to advise its audience about how to transport and store animals, evidence of this is where it states 'those transporting animals including agricultural animals should take action to avoid...' Text 2- the 'Animal Aid' leaflet is a persuasive text targeted teenagers and adults who are meat eaters likely to turn vegetarian. The purpose of this text is to persuade people to become vegetarian; this is shown as many persuasive techniques such as imperatives have been used. In both texts, the writer has used colour in order to effectively convey their message to the audience. Text
