Appreciation for the smaller things in life allows one to make the best out of a bad situation. An appreciation of these things may be vulnerable to the influence of one’s mood. This becomes apparent to Alain de Botton when he states, “When we are in a good mood and it is sunny, it is tempting to impute a connection between what happens inside and outside of us, but the appearance of London on my return was a reminder of the indifference of the world to any of the events unfolding in the lives of its inhabitants” (59). There is a common misconception that the external environment can affect one’s internal mood ones, though it is moderately the opposite happening: mood affects how we perceive the weather; however, that is not the case. The environment can play a major role in one’s mood, but in another aspect; a person’s temper is a factor in how they perceive the weather.
Annie Dillard uses diction based on her word choice. In paragraph 10, she says, “So I only see tatters of clearness through a pervading obscurity. I can’t distinguish the fog from the overcast sky; I can’t be sure if the light is direct or reflected. Everywhere darkness and the presence of unseen appalls.” She talks about not seeing clearly because of the fogginess. And Dillard tells us that maybe we’re reading (seeing) things wrong.
Candidates from different races, religions and languages will be hired, eliminating the problem lack of diversity may cause and turning it into a positive. While the island of Kava is susceptible to many natural disasters, NFP will take into account the disasters that can be avoided. Studying the weather over a period of time and listening to the advice of natives will tell the company which areas of the country are less vulnerable to natural disasters. If the volcano is predicted to erupt every 100 years and recently did, it may be of less concern. The areas affected consistently by hurricanes will be studied and avoided.
Aldous Huxley was either a psychic or God because whatever he wrote in the novel, is actually happening in today’s society. Even if he was imagining these things, he had a commendable imagination. Today, imagination and creativity are diminishing because people are too busy in catching up with television shows, shopping during sales etc. After reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and learning about the World State, I have started to notice some of the themes in my own surroundings. West Hill Collegiate shares a lot of similarities with the World State.
1. Winter driving and summer driving can be very different but they also have similarities. When comparing driving in the winter virus driving in the summer, most drivers would say summer driving is the best. During the winter, roads are snowy and icy. This can make drivers stressed and the condtions make it dangrous.
Human nature could sometimes convey you along an a verse path “for example cruelty, hatred, violence ”. Human nature could also sometimes lead you through a positive door “for example happiness, innocence, love, compassion and other contented feelings.” This essay is mainly about the flaws in human nature, and to show that there are more of both negative meanings, then positive meanings. For the first example for flaws in human nature in the story the Lottery, by Shirley Jackson is about village people who have a yearly ritual harvest and during the harvest they have some sort of lottery, and it’s a lottery you don’t want to be part of. The story is disturbing and cruel (for example the kids help pile up rocks for the ritual of the harvest) the kids didn’t only help pile up the rocks they also helped in the killing. Mrs. Hutchinson’s own “flesh and blood”, co-operated in her death.
The price for the barrels averaged at a high of $105 in the first week of May and the price of a gallon in Houston was at a decreasing $3.74 from $3.89 about three weeks ago. The test of economics relating to the cost of resources versus the product isn’t sufficient because even at the highest peak in a month for crude oil, prices were still falling per gallon which leads to the other factor, the number of sellers/ suppliers. Every under construction site lately has been the input of a new gas station. This supports the slow falling price as the market widens with new competition. In the Cypress/Katy area there have been over ten new stations
Hemingway almost immediately sets the atmosphere of sadness and depression through rain. Hemingway emphasizes how unpleasant it is outside but then describes the hotel room as comforting and cheerful. Hemingway uses syntax and detail to stress the contrast between the negative outside world and the reassuring room he is in with Catherine. The devices create an image of a negativity surrounding Frederic and Catherine, the image that together they manage to overcome the great sense of fear and loneliness that they feel in the presence of other people outside of this room. The repetition of the word outside in the first sentence highlights how all the negativity is taking place outside of the hotel room and the detail also creates an image of being in a mothers womb.
The unemployment rate was at about 9.5 percent to 9.7 percent in the beginning of 2010 up until December and then it started to slightly decline. It got down to 8.8 percent but then rose over 9 percent again by May of 2011 and has stayed around that percentage. This may be a sign that jobs are being created and hopefully the unemployment rate will experience another decrease during 2011. The unemployment rates by age showed that the 16-19 age group is having the worst time with unemployment. The unemployment rates for 16-19 year olds has stayed pretty steadily around 25 percent since the beginning of 2010 until the present and has never been below 24.5 percent.
The median age for the population of Dyer County is 36.5 years of age. Looking back at the US Census report from the year 2000 the population was 38, 335 and has only increased by 765 residents over the last twelve years.

This dire statistic earns Dyers County the title of the eight highest unemployment rate for counties in the state of Tennessee.
