student’s names. Seeing the pennants immediately made me think of what Payne (2013) wrote, “spiritual resources provide a person with a ‘future story,’ which gives him/her hope for the future” (p. 9). Teacher’s had bulletin boards outside their classroom. They were decorated with items from the college they attended which I believe reaffirm their “future story”. The Kansas Report Card website (http://ksreportcard.ksde.org) provided useful information about the school district. The Wichita…

water. Another scenario was in “The Moral Logic of Survival Guilt.” The people who felt guilt in this story did not have to feel it if they did not do anything wrong. Also, The soldiers in the story got to choose their occupation and what they do so having a friend pass is part of the job and it happens. The final scenario of why a person should be held accountable for their action comes in the story called “The Value of a Sherpa Life.” Sherpas die everyday due to their job and although this is…

“Dad can you tell me a story.” The dad replied,”Yes I can, and I have the perfect story in mind that you may like. It is an old legend that happened some 200 years ago.” The legend goes like this there was a man named Floyd once. He was 27 and dedicated to his job. The place he worked at was known as Wal-Mart. He was a television salesman. One day, Floyd glanced at a tv and saw that there was breaking news. The News Lady announced that the world was in a state of chaos. Floyd was then in shock…

Personally I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had a somewhat good idea of how coalitions in parliamentary governments worked because of the lectures in class; however, I did not know how it would actually play out. Before the simulation game I did some brief research on the Scottish National Party, and I quickly figured out that we were an outlier in English parliament. So realistically the SNP would its own coalition. I went in with the mindset that no one, even the Labour Party,…

also focuses on the part played by intellectualism and physical challenges in the development of identity of individuals. The entire plot is spiced with tearing irony. There are four clear sections in the story emphasizing the relationships between four prime characters. The irony of the story encompasses the social and religious parameters and the rude outlook about disabilities. The main character is Joy or Hulga who had lost her leg in an accident. This made her withdraw from the physical…

readers would predict that the story would have a feminist theme. And they would be right. However, the way that the story’s author, Susan Glaspell, establishes this theme is far more unexpected.

elements that any story is composed of (characters, setting, plot, etc.), there is no true way to determine which is more important to the development of the story; without characters, there is no one for the plot to occur to, no one to occupy the setting. Without plot, there is nothing for the characters to do, the story is merely stagnant. but with no setting, there is no place for the characters to exist, for the plot to occur to-there is no available catalyst in which the story may take…

culture, the presence of stories has remained a consistent and integral part of both society and its folk groups. Often passed verbally through the generations, stories act as an indication of the beliefs and concerns of the people, reinforcing their position and role in their communities. I investigated the transmission and belief of prediction stories in Polish families, where they are called przepowiednie. In this essay, I will discuss whether knowledge of these stories was affected by age,…
