I looked at this man who served us, who I later find out befriended my dad, with disgust at his messy appearance and made assumptions that he would tell bad jokes to entertain us into giving a bigger tip. I was dead wrong. Yes, he made jokes and made sure to compliment us, but I knew he was being honest when he said he enjoyed being our waiter. I came to the conclusion that people are more than what they appear and that we should be more open and understanding to everyone’s
The alternative hypothesis H1 is that the mean annual income μ is less than $50,000. H1:μ < $50,000 Significance level chosen is 5% or α = 0.05 Here, the population standard deviation is unknown. Hence, we use a t statistic Therefore the test statistic used is t = X-μS/n follows a t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom From the t table corresponding to 0.05 probability, the critical value tα =1.6766. Hence the critical region is t < -1.6766. Alternatively, we reject the null hypothesis, if the p value is less than the significance level Substituting the value we get t = 43.74-5014.6396/50 = -3.02 The p value corresponding to t = -3.02 and 49 d.f.

A Reality Check With the use of symbolism, Aldous Huxley creates a beautiful novel that in essence warns his audience of the future. Huxley’s clever use of symbols in the Brave New World, is often apparent, but just as often, they are deeper and less apparent. With his satirical references to sex, drugs, technology and the naming of his characters, Huxley relates his novel back to his readers and their future. Without recognizing these symbols, the readers could find this novel confusing and ridiculous; but with each symbolic object and person comes a clearer picture of what Huxley us really trying to convey. When reading the Brave New World, the sexual references are often the first things that stand out to the audience.

At the beginning Pumblechook was cruel to pip but as soon as Pips status rose, he called him 'dear friend' and repeatedly asked 'may I?' to shake Pips hand. Not only does he try to befriend Pip because of his new found money but he also tells everyone that he was the benefactor because he wants the attention and popularity, he says 'I have been the humble instrument leading up to this', making him an imposter. After Pips downfall, Pumblechooks behaviour changes again towards him and accuses Pip of not having 'common human gratitoode'. So Dickens portrays Pumblechook as a man who changes his behaviour towards someone according to their status just for his own benefit.
Myrtle’s expectations of the outcome of the party were completely wrong. Gatsby’s party, on the other hand, is with a large amount of people and five course meals of which everyone is grateful.

One of the phrases used in The Catcher in the Rye would be just those words alone. In the novel Holden believes that all of the youth in the world needs to
But Jack sees Piggy as almost a threat, as although he is different in terms of being like the other children, he is clever and has strong views, which, further through the book, Piggy expresses more and more for example “I was with him when he found the conch!” Piggy is seeing how he is going to be left out unless he starts making himself heard. The individual deaths of Piggy and Simon are quite different because, it is visible that the chapter, and partly the book build up to Piggy’s death but Simon’s death is quite unexpected. Although in the death of Simon the weather changes as the mood does, this is an example of pathetic fallacy. The ironic thing is that Simon had come down from the hill to tell the ‘tribe’ the news that there was no beast, but in rushing in at the time he did, the children see him as the beast, and on a number of occasions at that point Simon is described as the beast. Another example of irony is that possibly two of the most useful
