Innocence and the Songs of Experience to parallel Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. The first two are books of poetry romanticizing the simplicity of nature over the rushed boom of the Industrial Revolution, and the later, a horror story about an articulate, yellow skinned monster that inspired a whole subgenre of fiction and films. The connections lie deeper than what a quick read can pick up; they’re in the fiber of the themes of distinction between innocence and experience. . One overlapping key…

Comparative Paper How do you measure a human life? Is it the years in your life, or the life in your years? By examining Daytripper in light of the theory of life articulated in American Beauty, we can see that Daytripper is arguing life’s true meaning is found in quality, not quantity.

views instead of the normal classroom scene. I liked that this experience was a chance to interact with my colleagues and learn who they are on a personal level subsequent to grading their three-minute stories the previous Fridays. From this hiking experience, I learned the value of teamwork, effective communication, and what encompasses wholesome leadership as well as what can transpire when there is no leadership. As like all experiences, there are some parts I cherished and others not as…

also brings about a certain amount of expectation. We assume that because it happened a specific way last time it will happen that way again. And when it is different, we might experience disappointment or confusion. Of course, things can happen almost exactly like they did last time, but each year or each time you experience something, be it for the first time or the 10th time, it is different. Allowing…

Learning Curves The learning curve, also referred to as the experience curve, is a simplistic, yet powerful, estimating technique which has become an essential concept/tool used for strategic planning within project management (Kerzner, 2013; Lieberman, 1987; Linton & Walsh, 2013). Bailey and Gupta (1999) suggested that the learning curve should probably be called the “forecasting curve” because it is primarily used to forecast the future expenditure of project resources (as cited in McKee &…
