The Four Resource model was created by Freebody and Luke in the 1990s as previous literacy models were essential, but not sufficient. Previous approaches include the skills approach, whole language approach and genre approach (Anstey, 2002). The Four Resource model assists with the development of the ability to analyse tasks, solve problems, identify resources and self monitor which are essential to being a competent reader (Anstey, 2002). This model aims for balanced content for the development…

Similarly as a winged creature secured away a pen longs to fly, so does a man restricted to a part and controlled in a home. In the short story, "Story of an Hour," by Kate Chopin, the lady is caught in a cold marriage and a constrictive house.

Despite the fact that both stories share the topics of imprisonment and limitation, physically and inwardly, the ladies in the stories have…

What first appears to be a film about war and the separation between the two Koreas is, in actuality, a heartfelt comedy that touches on the innocence and good that exists in all people. Park Kwang-hyun uses not only technical camera movements and graphics to explain these themes, but he also incorporates symbolism and thoughtful timing in dialogue, presentation, and delivery. Park Kwang-hyun has a cinematic style all his own. Although Hayao Miyazaki inspired his film, there are clear…

The obstetrician advised Kate to channel her deep feelings and begin writing, and she took that advice to heart. Kate Chopin is the founding mother of the new wave of brave feminist movements in writing.…
