Relatinshipe between father and son in things fall apart
The relationship between Unoka and Okonkwo, In "Things Fall Apart", many father and son relationships exist. The most notable one is the Okonkwo has with his father Unoku. Their relationship is a very strained in which Okonkwo grows up hating his father and consciously adopts opposite ideals. Unoku is often viewed as a poor, lazy man who never planned for the future. He is always in debt and as a result he left his son with nothing to live on when he dies. Two ways that shows Okonkwo's hate towards his father is the way he constantly beats his own son Nwoye. Another way is how Onkonkwo never wants to show any weakness and consciously adopts opposite ideals of his father. The constant beating of Nuroye by Onkokwo done on purpose by him in order to prevent Nwoye becoming like Unoka. Onkonkwo worries about his son following in the footsteps of his grandfather that he even refers to him as being "old enough to impregnate a woman". Okonkwo views his son as a symbol of laziness just like Unoka, and so he does his best to prevent this. The fact that Nuroye has feminine like characteristics angers his father. This includes Nwoye crying a lot when Ikmefuma is taken away and that he prefers listening to his mother's children stories rather than his father's war stories. Nuroye struggles in the shadow of his powerful, successful, and demanding father that as a result
Microsoft Excel vs. Microsoft Access
Microsoft Excel vs. Microsoft Access Introduction In this report I will look at the two most popular business data handling tools. I will look at both pros and cons of each piece of software and compare to see which has the best tools for processing information to support effective business decision-making. Microsoft Access Microsoft Access is part of the software package Microsoft Office. It is used for easily creating databases. Microsoft Access is one of the more simple database software available however It has all the features needed to create a successful working database which is updateable at any time. An Access database can be made very user friendly and easily accessible to anyone who might not have great computer knowledge. On the other hand the database can be hard to interpret into data if no special interface is created. The setback which comes with Access is that time needs to be spent to create a database which is in complete working order with no glitches. It also has no special graphical features to present your data. Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel is also part of the software package Microsoft Office.

Nuclear power creates toxic waste which damages the environment, and wind turbines are inefficient and unreliable as they only work intermittently. At the

Read the extract and compose a compentary on everything you learn about her as a person and as a story teller. How does Atwood try to engage your sympathy for Offred? Is she successful? Read the opening of chapter 2, "A window, two white curtains. Under the window,....who was in love with either/or." --Offred describes her surroundings in great detail ex. "... which I made of wood, in narrow strips, highly polished." Or even noticing how the room changes when the window is opened vs. closed, "makes the curtains move" (Symbolically suffocating as only partially able to open/partial air) Often sparks interior monologue about past Plenty of time to do so, nothing else occupies time --Can't control inner thoughts (area of freedom) - stream of consciousness fitting, although her memory is spotted (hint of brainwashing involved) --Separates herself from the people in authority, "they" "them" (anonymous) Even though they control her life, she does not offer them respect --Feels limited by her life and not satisfied living with maxims taught.

In the year 2007, Wi-Fi spread widely in business and industrial sites. . Mr. Paraskar has been working in the cyber crime department for five years. He has come across various security problems in Wi-Fi networks such as hacking and received a large number of complaints based on this issue. Wi-Fi is used by most personal computer operating systems, video game consoles, laptops, smart phones and many other electronic devices. The popularity of this technology is increasing day by day and airports, hotels, restaurants are offering free Wi-Fi to attract customers and slowly Wi-Fi is replacing local area networks which require wires for connection to the internet. As far as security loopholes of Wi-Fi are concerned, many Wi-Fi users do not secure their Wi-Fi networks. This makes the Wi-Fi network accessible to any outsider who has a Wi-Fi enabled device anywhere near the Wi-Fi network. Mr. Paraskar said that hacking into Wi-Fi networks is a very serious issue and a great amount of damage can be caused as a result of compromise in Wi-Fi networks. People can hack into Wi-Fi networks which have highly confidential data which can be leaked and provided to outsiders or misused
University Entrance Essay
On December 23rd, 1814, American President Andrew Jackson called upon the French privateer and smuggler, Jean Lafitte, and his fellow Baratarians to aid in fending off British invasion. In a courageous fight, together they were able to defeat the British despite being outnumbered three to one. Much of the victory is credited to the pirate turned patriot, and my direct ancestor, Jean Lafitte. In more ways than one, my life today seems to be shaped around the career of my ancestor, for I too, have sailed nearly 85,000 miles over Davy Jones' locker. When the term pirate is used, most relate this to buried treasure, cannons, and swabbing decks. However, there is more to being a pirate than that. Pirates, like me, require defining traits that shape them as a whole. The first is adventure. Jean Lafitte's perils through the waterways of New Orleans were what allowed Jackson's army to surprise the British. Similarly, my life follows the same path of adventure, without the swashbuckling of course. Spending three years of my life living on a boat sailing throughout the South Pacific islands exposed me to remote and diverse cultures at an early age. This experience opened my mind to realize how much we can potentially give to developing countries. This played a role in my inspiration to travel to the remote town of Mata Palo, Costa Rica last summer to work on a turtle conservation

World Literature Essay II: C Candidate Number: 000 119 023 Word Count:1071 Total Number of Pages: 4 The Individual vs. The Party in Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler Purpose Statement: The fundamental believes of the Party explained by Arthur Koestler were oppressive to the ideological believes of the individual. In return the revolution failed to reach a utopian society due to the oppression of the individual. The party describe in Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler represents the governmental and economic system of communism in the Soviet Union during the 1930's and 40's with the main intend of reaching a utopia in the real world. The sacrifice of the individual was necessary to carry out the will of history in the eyes of the party. The ideology of the party creates a conflict in Darkness at Noon where the ideologies of the party undermined the ideas of the grammatical fiction with a result of a failed revolution. An individual perception is needed to help the rest of humanity, without it nothing can be done to change society. Koestler uses Rubashov as a vehicle to describe the struggle between the ideas of the party and of the individual. The transformation from despising the "silent partner" to an overall understanding of the necessity to acquire it can explain the flaw of the party. As Rubashov is slowly accepting his grammatical fiction he is getting closer to
French Wine
Quelle est la consommation du vin en France et son effet sur la société? Wine with food La Culture * A growing competition of drinks which challenges wine as a French national symbol. * The wine consumed has changed and the consumption of quality wines is no longer restricted to festive occasions. * French people drink the most wine in the world * Wine is part of the French culture and France cuisine would not be the same without this drink. Drinking wine with meals is a common French tradition and is possible to see families enjoying their dinners accompanied by a glass of wine at most French regions. * Wine is among the most important elements of not only French cuisine but of the French culture and traditions as well. * Legal drinking age is 16 for wine * As the demand for higher quality wine increases at the expense of lower-quality wines, traditionally the backbone of the French wine industry, the French will have to adapt their wine industry accordingly. Wine culture in France has changed. The French drink less wine, but wine of better quality. The future undoubtedly will be marked by fewer bottles of common wine and by larger amounts of premium wines, which is a desirable situation for the wine consumer, but unpleasant for many growers accustomed to extract as much tonnage as possible from bountiful, ordinary wines. Wine Drinking in moderation La
