Literature Writing: Passing

Read Nella Larsen’s Passing:

And then look at these discussion questions below. Choose one of them, include the question so I know what you are responding to, and answer the question fully, quoting from the text for support. This should be at least 2 pages in length. MLA formatted

Questions: (REMEMBER TO PICK ONE)

  • Passing is set in the 1920s, before the Supreme Court declared “separate but equal” facilities for nonwhites unconstitutional. What privileges is Irene Redfield denied as a black person? What do men and women gain by passing?
  • In Part One, Irene has tea with Gertrude and Clare, her two childhood friends. Compare the attitudes each woman has toward passing. To what degree does each pass for white?
  • Passing presents two women, Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry, who make very different choices yet whose lives intertwine in startling ways. Compare the characters of each. What are each woman’s strengths? Her weaknesses? What are each woman’s attitudes toward race? How do these attitudes influence the novel’s plot?
  • Compare different characters’ attitudes toward sexuality. For instance, in what ways are Irene’s and Clare’s thoughts on sex similar? How are they different? How might these attitudes be related to each character’s thoughts on race?
  • Passing functions as a metaphor with several layers of meaning. What are they? How do they relate to each other?
  • What are the female characters’ perspectives on motherhood?
  • What are Irene’s attitudes in terms of race? Are they any different from John Bellew’s?
  • What does the following passage mean?: “[Irene] was caught between two allegiances, different, yet the same. Herself. Her race. Race: The thing that bound and suffocated her. Whatever steps she took, or if she took none at all, something would be crushed. A person or the race. Clare, herself, or the race. Or, it might be all three.”

/in /by

Instructions: Use the following information, which is from a story by The Associated Press, to write an inverted pyramid news story. The dateline on the story should be TAYLORSVILLE, N.C.

NOTE: You actually must write this story from the facts. Do not copy and paste. You have to rewrite these into a story.

There has been a fire in a house. The house is in Taylorsville, N.C., which is located about 50 miles west of Winston-Salem. Taylorsville is in Alexander County.

The fire’s cause was not immediately known. You got this information from Patricia Lee of the Alexander County Communications Center.

Six people were killed when the fire tore through the house. Officials said a newborn baby was among the dead.

You also interviewed a neighbor, John McWhorter. He told you that a woman living in the one-story brick house ran to his home to call 911 about 4 a.m.

The dead reportedly were aged 2 days to 20 years.

McWhorter told you that the woman told him that six other people were in the house.

Here’s a quote from McWhorter: “When I got up there, it was burning so bad, I mean you couldn’t even get close to that house. The heat was something fierce.”

McWhorter also told you that Ronnie Shue’s family lived in the house. He said Shue was called home from his third-shift job.

Here’s another quote from McWhorter: “He (Shue) came home and I tried to calm him down, of course. Then the EMS people carried him and her off.”

Revenue and Reimbursement

/in /by

GRADING RUBRIC MUST BE FOLLOWED

Write a 3–4-page proposal for billing changes, and explain how the proposed changes will benefit the organization, the physicians, and the patients.

Questions to Consider:

  • What resources are available to help patients with no insurance and no financial means to pay for health care?
  • How can an organization be financially prepared to handle uninsured patients?

Requirements

Imagine that you have just stepped into a new role as the office manager for a very successful clinic. The clinic is a conglomeration of physicians who offer specialized care. Each group of physicians tried to manage their own billing process but it quickly became obvious that one billing office would be more efficient. You realize that there has been a lack of consistency in the clinic and that you will need to update the billing policies and procedures immediately. You also realize that there is always resistance to change, and you will need to provide evidence supporting the changes you plan to make.

Prepare a proposal for billing changes that you would present to the physicians. You will need to support each proposed change with relevant evidence to assure buy-in from the physicians.

Write a proposal for changes you would like to make to the billing policies and procedures in a successful physicians clinic. Include the following in your proposal:

  • Develop a step-by-step process for the entire revenue cycle from pre-verification of insurance to accounts receivable management.
  • Recommend a method for determining a pricing structure. What factors can influence pricing?
  • Explain the factors that must be considered while negotiating insurance contracts. What major payer categories are appropriate for this practice?
  • Explain how the clinic will handle private pay and charity care.
  • Recommend either an installed or a web-based billing software system. (Please note that you should not recommend a specific brand of software; just the type of software.)
  • Explain how the changes will benefit the physicians, the clinic, and patients.
