Martin Delaney Advice from a former slave speech

/in /by

Description

Intro:

When trying to develop the structure for an essay always understand the importance and purpose of an introduction. The introduction should provide any background information that sets the stage for you to introduce your thesis statement. The thesis should address the purpose of your paper and outline body paragraphs. If you are answering a question you should address that question entirely. Your thesis usually concludes your introduction.

Body Paragraphs:

When it comes to developing your body paragraphs it is important to think about the context in which your document was written. What was going on in America at that time? Why was it written? By whom? What does the document actually say? Who was the intended audience? What was the intention/goal(s) of the document? What was achieved? What did you find important about the document? Was there anything left unsaid or do you have any questions for the author? Use information from your textbook, notes, and of course direct evidence from document, because this is supposed to be a primary source analysis.

Outro:

The purpose of a conclusion for this course will be to actually conclude something. Simply restating your thesis or rephrasing your essay in four sentences or less is redundant. Do not do this. I want you to actually provide conclusive analysis based on the evidence that you have documented throughout your body paragraphs. Some of the questions posed in the “body paragraphs” section could be used to structure your conclusion around.

Prior year financial statements

/in /by

You have been asked to take prior year financial statements and prepare next year’s budget by factoring in some changes expected in the next year, including lost revenue, opportunities for additional revenue, etc… To make the budget balance you will have to cut expenses in a thoughtful and strategic manner. My instructions will step you through three Excel worksheets starting with the prior year financial statements and ending with next year’s budget.

Use these Excel workbook “Worksheets for Chapter 8 Case Study” to complete this assignment. Look at the tabs at the bottom of the workbook for each of the three worksheets you need to complete.

Step-by-step instructions:

Worksheet 8.3 (prior year statement of activities by account categories):
Use the June 30, 2011 column of the trial balance under Table 8.14 on pages 177-8 to complete this worksheet. You’ll need to add together accounts for each category. For example, Government Grants = Acct. 4101 through 4103.
Enter amounts in thousands. For example, $79,451.25 will be $79.
Check Figures: Revenue less expenses = $35.
Worksheet 8.4 (prior year statement of activities allocated out to programs and support categories):
Using the trial balance from Table 8.14, allocate each line over its programs and support subcategories.
For example, Government Grants will be accounted 4101 through 4103, but only 4101 and 4102 go under the HOPE column. 4103 goes under CARE.
Add together the two subcategories (program and support) column totals to reach the Total column amounts at the far right. This column will tie to the 2011/10 revenues and expenses in Worksheet 8.3.
Check Figures: “Hope” revenue less expenses = $106, the “Support” subtotal revenue less expenses = $(151) and the Total Column revenue – expenses = $35.
Worksheet 8.5 (upcoming year statement of activities budget = prior year adjusted for changes in the upcoming year):
Input all the numbers from Worksheet 8.4.
As you make the following changes, take notes on what you are changing and why. This will help with the recommendations section at the end!
Then adjust (reduce) the revenues for the changes listed in instruction #5 at the bottom of page 180. These changes affect the HOPE program and Admin. support.
Then adjust the revenues in the CARE program to maximize the revenue possibilities listed in Table 8.16 on page 182.
Consider other realistic possibilities for increasing revenues through special events, etc… and reflect them in the worksheet.
Based on these changes, adjust the expenses in a reasonable manner to reflect the above changes in revenue.
You need to adjust the expenses in a thoughtful and strategic manner to get to a breakeven ($0) “revenues less expenses” in the Total column.
Recommendations will describe how you overcome the lost revenue. This is worth almost of a third of the assignment, so don’t forget this!

How were revenues decreased?
What other revenue sources did you plan to increase and how?
What expenses did you decide to adjust and what reasoning do you have for these changes?

Heart Of Darkness

/in /by

Read the following passage from the end of Heart of Darkness, after Kurtz has died and Marlow himself has almost died. Then, in
a well-organized, MLA-formatted essay of 700-800 words, analyze the language (repetition, imagery, diction, syntax) Conrad
uses to illustrate Marlows feelings about death, and how he compares himself to Kurtz.
Tips for Success:
Read and reread, looking up words you do not know, and annotating purposefully.
Start with a clear and focused introduction where you include a thesis that directly references the prompt. Avoid
generalities or vague openers; feel free to get right to your point.
Your subsequent paragraphs should begin with thesis that clearly indicate which part of the argument you are addressing.
Do not forget to include transitions as you move from one idea to the next.
Blended and contextualized evidence should be only from the passage and should be plentiful; use words and phrases
instead of whole sentences so that you can better focus your ideas. Citations are not necessary.
Analysis should directly illustrate how meaning is being created through language.
Your conclusion should be purposeful, offering new insight based on your analysis. No need for length here 2-3
sentences should cover it.
Droll thing life isthat mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is
some knowledge of yourselfthat comes too latea crop of unextinguishable regrets. I have wrestled with death. It is the
most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing
around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat,
in a sickly atmosphere of tepid skepticism, without much belief in your own right, and still less in that of your adversary. If
such is the form of ultimate wisdom, then life is a greater riddle than some of us think it to be. I was within a hair’s-breadth of
the last opportunity for pronouncement, and I found with humiliation that probably I would have nothing to say. This is the
reason why I affirm that Kurtz was a remarkable man. He had something to say. He said it. Since I had peeped over the
edge myself, I understand better the meaning of his stare, that could not see the flame of the candle, but was wide enough
to embrace the whole universe, piercing enough to penetrate all the hearts that beat in the darkness. He had summed
uphe had judged. ‘The horror!’ He was a remarkable man. After all, this was the expression of some sort of belief; it had
candor, it had conviction, it had a vibrating note of revolt in its whisper, it had the appalling face of a glimpsed truththe
strange commingling of desire and hate. And it is not my own extremity I remember besta vision of grayness without form
filled with physical pain, and a careless contempt for the evanescence of all thingseven of this pain itself. No! It is his
extremity that I seem to have lived through. True, he had made that last stride, he had stepped over the edge, while I had
been permitted to draw back my hesitating foot. And perhaps in this is the whole difference; perhaps all the wisdom, and all
truth, and all sincerity, are just compressed into that inappreciable moment of time in which we step over the threshold of
the invisible. Perhaps! I like to think my summing-up would not have been a word of careless contempt. Better his
crymuch better. It was an affirmation, a moral victory paid for by innumerable defeats, by abominable terrors, by
abominable satisfactions. But it was a victory! (44).
