Does the novel contain a great deal of symbolism?, english research paper help

/in /by

This lesson runs concurrently with other lessons. Be sure to check due dates under Syllabus Page 2.

You are to write a paper (seven to ten pages) on a literary topic related to your novel in some way.  Begin reading your novel on the first day of class and complete reading by midterm. Do not wait till the final days of class to write your research paper. Be sure to check due dates on the syllabus.

Think about questions such as these:

  • Does the novel contain a great deal of symbolism?  Perhaps you could write a paper that deals with the author’s use of symbolism in that novel.
  • How does realism play into the meaning of the novel?
  • How does the change in setting affect the development of the plot?

You may choose to address standard fiction elements such as theme, characterization, symbolism, allegory, irony, realism, or settings.  History papers and biographical papers are not acceptable for this assignment.  Begin planning your literary research paper now.  This is an ongoing project that you will work on while you do other lessons in this course.

Here are some novels which you may choose from; try to choose your novel within the first week of class:

Ellison, Ralph.  Invisible Man

Chopin, Kate.  The Awakening

Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451

Faulkner, William. The Reivers

Welty, Eudora.  The Optimist’s Daughter

Morrison, Toni. The Bluest Eye

Kafka, Franz.  The Metamorphosis

Melville, Herman. Bartleby the Scrivener

Dickens, Charles. Great Expectations.

You may work ahead of the scheduled dates, but not after. Make sure that you do not get behind. Check the Schedule of Assignments on page two of the syllabus for all due dates.

In determining the grade for the paper, I will consider form (mechanics, grammar), content, documentation, and process. Each will affect the final grade for the paper.

  • Research papers will have a body of seven to ten (7-10) pages. The paper must also have title page, outline, and Works Cited pages. (These pages are NOT considered as part of the body page count.) You will find a sample research paper, including a sample Works Cited page at thePurdue OWL website or if you have purchased The St. Martin’s Handbook you can find a sample in Chapter 16. Information about formal outlines is in Chapter 3. The order of pages in the paper is title page, outline, body of paper, works cited. These are all to be saved and sent to me as one document.
  • The final Works Cited page will contain seven to eight (7-8) sources.The sources will be derived from appropriate books, periodicals, etc., to denote variety of sources used. Cliffs Notes, Masterplots, Monarch, Wikipedia are NOT appropriate sources. Each of the sources used in the Works Cited must be used at least once in the research paper.
  • You are to follow MLA format and documentation as described in Chapter 37 of the Literature: Craft & Voice text and also in The St. Martin’s Handbook.
  • Use direct quotations sparingly (no more than 25% of the paper).
  • Be sure topic is sufficiently limited.
  • All words should be spelled correctly and errors in sentence structure eliminated.
  • The level of diction should be formal (no slang, contractions, jargon, or technical terms without definition).
  • The paper should be well written and scholarly.
  • All borrowed information must be noted whether quoted or not.

PLAGIARISM: Each student is responsible for constructing a research paper based on his/her own idea about a topic. Borrowed material must be scrupulously documented. Plagiarism is a serious offense and will result in an F in the course.

PENALTIES: Late paper penalties will be assessed. You are given the assignment at the beginning of the semester with a specific due date in order to have ample time to complete your paper.

Complete this assessment in three parts. For Parts 1 and 2, submit a 2- to 3-page paper that includes both parts. For Part 3, submit a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

Part 1: Employee Relations
  1. Use the Capella University Library to research the relationship between employee relations and organizational mission, vision, values, and culture.
    • Explain how an organization’s mission, vision, values, and culture influence its relationships with its employees.
    • Support your position with at least one recent article (not more than three years old) from a trade magazine, professional magazine, or journal.
  2. Select two of the internal HR customer groups from the media piece Types of Internal Human Resources Customers TYPES OF INTERNAL HUMAN RESOURCES CUSTOMERS.docx   and answer the following questions. Provide support for your answers from relevant and credible sources.
  • What are some of the specific employee relations issues a member of each group might bring to HR?
  • How would HR, as a strategic employee relations partner, respond to these issues?
  • How would HR, as an enforcer, respond to these issues?
Part 2: Policy Issues
  1. Use the Capella University Library to locate one recent article (not more than three years old) about a situation involving one of the following policy issues. The article may be taken from a newspaper, professional magazine or journal, or popular press magazine.
    • Workplace romance.
    • Dress codes (may be about tattoos, piercing, or attire).
    • Use of social media at work.
    • Employee privacy.

    • Explain how your assumptions, judgments, and beliefs (and those of the person or people who brought the issue to your attention) might influence your approach to the conversation.
    • Explain how you would you handle the situation if the conversation with the employee does not go well or if the employee does not seem to take the situation seriously.
Part 3: Regulatory Issues
  1. Use the Capella University Library and the Internet to identify and research an HR regulatory issue.
  2. Create an effective, professional presentation of the issue to managers in your organization, or in an organization of your choice.
    • Create 10–12 slides, using Microsoft PowerPoint, to support your presentation.
      • Important: The effectiveness of any professional presentation depends on your ability to communicate effectively with your audience; therefore, create slides that support and enhance your presentation. Be sure to use the speaker notes section of each slide for information and details that are not presented on the slides. Only the main topic, concept, or point of any subject should be shown on the slide so that your audience is not reading the presentation from the slide but must listen to you throughout. This is accomplished through the purposeful use of speaker’s notes.
    • Explain the employment law and its main requirements.
    • Analyze the potential impact this issue could have on employee relations, engagement, and retention.
    • Organize your research data and information in a coherent manner to support your position and influence others.
      • Note: Because you will submit just your slide deck for this assessment and will not actually deliver the presentation, ensure that all applicable information is contained within your slide deck in either the visual portion of the slides or in the associated speaker notes.
  3. Ensure that your slide deck includes the following slides:
    • Title slide.
    • Introduction slide.

A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:

– Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study.

– Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.

– Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.

– Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.

– Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.

Ethical Contract and Agreements, management homework help

/in /by

It’s time to delve into contract law, at least momentarily. Contracts are integrated into our everyday life whether we realize it or not. If you make a purchase at a store, you are creating a contract for the purchase of said items in return for cash, check or credit. While this may not be a traditional type of contract consisting of a written document that all parties sign, this is nevertheless a contract.

Much the same, we deal with contracts on a day-to-day basis in the business world. But, can everything be contracted? Or are there certain contracts that are void or voidable (hint, hint)?

Write a 2-3 page paper using proper APA formatting. Within this paper you are asked to analyze the types on contracts that are void and voidable as well as why they are forbidden in the business world. Below are some ideas to help get you started:

  • Compare and contrast void and voidable
  • Against public policy
  • One-Sided
  • Minor exception
  • Mental Capacity
  • Illegal Contracts
