“Play Nice: Forget Cutthroat – What You Need is a Little Sugar and Spice” The subtitle caught my attention, as I was flipping through Entrepreneur magazine. Here was a smiling lady standing next to the word ‘cutthroat.’ I read on only to find out what a powerful and recognizable job she has. She is Linda Kaplan Thaler, the CEO of Kaplan Thaler Group Inc. They are an advertising firm that created the AFLAC duck and the jingle, “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up, I’m a Toys R Us Kid.” She credits her success with being nice to people, and incorporating that niceness into the corporate culture at KTG. The article is really her answers to two questions, one about surviving a dog-eat-dog advertising world, and the other about negative advertising and how to overcome the obstacles of “bad press” without retaliating.
How does Duffy create a distinctive speaker in Mrs Midas? In the poem ‘Mrs Midas’ Duffy presents us with a fairly distinctive personality that is a result of a wish made by her husband that turns to be the cause of his death.

Funny Face by Rozanna Lilley – Poem Analysis Title: At first the title “Funny Face”, gives us the impression of a poem full of fun and humour. But after reading the poem, we get a totally different way of seeing the titel. We get a sens of the funny face being something the girls of the pageant put on to satisfying the judgeses and the mothers. It is the only way these young girls can stand to do the pageants for the sake of their mothers. Settings: Funny face mainly takes place in a place called Garden City, I think that Garden City is what they call a special place in their backyard, since it is called ‘Garden’ City, it a place where they come to have fun.
Clarissa presents a first impression of empathy and exuberance within the first two paragraphs. Preparing to play hostess for her upcoming party, Mrs. Dalloway kindly offers her maid Lucy a hand by buying “the flowers herself” (Woolf 1). Happily walking through the fresh air on this particular errand, Clarissa muses on both the beauty of the day in the present and the past, intimating her appreciation natural beauty. Although much of what the reader can infer about Peter Walsh is based on Clarissa’s point of view, the protagonist’s former love interest’s lens is also briefly inspected. When Mrs. Dalloway runs into her old friend Hugh Whitbread, the author reveals that even after many years, “[Peter] had never to this day forgiven her for liking him” (3).
So even though it is acknowledged that she is productive and dutiful she is relegated to only helping with the flower garden as her husband work with the more manly duties of rounding up the horses and selling heads of cattle to buisness men. Elsie is at her strongest when in her garden even going so far as to recieve complements about her green thumb from her husband. “You’ve got a gift with things,” Henry observed. “Some of those yellow chrysanthemums you had this year were ten inches across." ( Steinbeck 2011, p 7) and yet in the same breath she is cut down by Henry telling her she wishes she could work in an area of the farm that she is not allowed to.
For example, Bridget remembers the great joy of the day when Ilia bought the Folio Edition of the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher and presented it to her after many days of eying the book displayed in the stall and after many thoughts about how the money spent on the book could be managed by curtailing some of the provisions of their life. Bridget remembers the pleasure that being poor brought them at that precise moment. When Lamb calls an old China cup ‘Speciosa Miraculta’ we get a taste of his Latinism (Lamb 520). His fondness for alliteration is evident in his reference to a meadow painted

She was known to help stray animals and brining laughter and smiles to the villagers’ faces.
For instance, I went to desert hill on Thanks giving night and I was certainly feeling the happy atmosphere of holiday. When I stood in line to wait for buying makeup for my mother, I talked with some people around me and they told me some funny things and which brand of makeup is good. Time often went quickly through chatting. It is no longer a boring thing to wait. It is known to us that all of the stores will discount on Thanks giving, so it is a good time for people to buy things, especially some luxuries.
