Adam can be classified as the “wild card” American character because he has many examples throughout the course of this film where he does not act as a true American at all but he manages to redeem himself in the end. He never once admits to civilization, being in love with Milly, or that Milly can actually change his brothers. Even after Gideon comes to visit him after the birth of his daughter, Hannah, Adam refuses
Harry's closest friend, Ron Weasley, can be compared to St. Peter (“Helium”). St. Peter was one of Jesus' closest friends, however, just like Ron, he denied or abandoned Jesus three times. St. Peter abandoned Jesus three times before the rooster crowed as is stated in Mark 14:65-72. While Ron never denied Harry, he was not present during three of Harry's most trying times. Ron was not present for three different scenarios when it seemed as though Harry needed him most.

According to Essentials of Public Speaking, PowerPoint poisoning is a term coined by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, which refers to a text- induced coma that listeners experience when there are too many PowerPoint slides or the slides are too long, have too many bullets, or are too confusing. The textbook also states that according to a survey of business people who watch more than 100 PowerPoint presentations per year, sixty two percent got annoyed with speakers who read from their slides. Classmate David Glenn summarizes his thoughts extremely well in his critique, Long-long title, long-long slides, and long-long speech. There's the formula for suggested maximum number of visuals?

Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know” (Camus 1). He cannot muster up any sort of emotion even when his mother dies. This is Meursault’s first demonstration of existentialism: even after the death of a loved one, life goes on unchanging. Other events which would normally elicit some enthusiasm from most people are unremarkable for Meursault. When his girlfriend Marie, one of the few people about whom he goes into detail, asks him to marry her, he nonchalantly agrees.
John Fowles - Interview John Fowles, author of The Collector, The Magus and Daniel Martin, can barely walk; his speech is slurred and his gaze is rheumy. Fowles has not written a novel (since A Maggot ) for 18 years and his newly published diaries are almost certain to be his last work. However, as he says: 'I do think a lot, though.' The intellect that has dazzled readers since the publication of The Collector 40 years ago is still razor-sharp, if haphazard. His recall is patchy, and he is forever wafting a questioning hand at Sarah, his second wife: 'She is my memory now.'
Activity #1: Diagnosis John Nash's antisocial behaviour was clear from the very beginning of the movie where we notice him seated alone and not speaking to anyone. As the movie develops he is hardly seen associating himself with people other than his roommate who he relies on and to who he states that "the truth is I don't like people much, and they don't much like me." Abnormal behaviour John displays is where he starts to believe he had been hired for a top-secret government mission, even though he hadn't. These delusions often led him to ramble on about things that no one could understood. Disorganized speech is another symptom of schizophrenia which he displayed frequently.
