Procedure An ABAB withdrawal design with one participant was utilized to evaluate to evaluate the effects of the token economy. Parents were interviewed in the home to gain information pertaining to Nic’s behavior in home and at school as well as to identify target behaviors and secondary reinforcers. A list of potential reinforcers and target behaviors was identified along with the token value for each identified reinforcer. All identified behaviors would earn one token. During this visit…

observation. (Please refer figure 1.1) 5. Debrief with team: Since, I was working by myself in this, so I have decided to debrief this in the class and get my cohorts inputs. Mode 4: Frame Insights: User Journey Map (4.17) For this mode, I have used the “User Journey Map, 4.17” to proceed with my finding from the previous modes. The Frame Insight method works on the flow map by recording the entire steps of user’s experiences in a chrono-graphical manner. Kumar (2012) states “The User…

A “narrative” is defined as being a “written or spoken account of connected events” (“Narrative”). Narratives can take many forms. For instance, in english class many of the short stories we read are narratives. However, a movie, a television show or a song, could also be a narrative. Even our lives can be considered our own personal narratives in which we are the writer, the main character and often times the reader. “Life as a Narrative” demonstrates how certain events, both minor and major,…

In a traditional novel, the author composes the story to describe fictional character and events usually in the form of a sequence. On the other hand, Jean Rhys subverts traditional literary structure by having multiple characters narrate the story. Rhys wrote the novel to include racial, gender and cultural identity to help the reader understand what it meant to be a ‘Jamaican mad women’ rather than just a mad woman. She uses the three factors to give the story meaning. By having more than…

not blend the line between the two voices because Anthony’s reflective voice shows itself more often than the narrator in “The Ballad of the Sad Café” uses its lamenting voice. Barnes’s two voices are effective in how much they pop up, slowing the narrative and forcing the reader to slow down along with Anthony and have a moment of reflection while at the same time wondering why Anthony is so concerned with paradoxes of time and providing anecdotes about trees in his former yard. On the other…

Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” is fascinating short story written in 1983. As I indulged in the story I was somewhat surprised by the narrators thoughts and actions. As I read the story again I started to understand the actions of the unnamed narrator and how they related to the theme. I have dislike for the narrator in this story, but I am glad that he had the epiphany that he had at the end of the story and can forgive him for his actions. It is clear that the narrator feels very uncomfortable…

ironic social commentary by creating the world of Highbury which emulated the virtues and vices of the Regency era. Norman Page calls Austen’s work a “triumph of style” as it achieved complex social commentary whilst maintaining an entertaining narrative with realistic characters instead of caricatures using techniques such as free indirect style and prose syntax which characterise Austen’s work. Emma is narrated from the point of view of a third person omniscient narrator who gives insight…

When someone is changed based on the power given to them people often say that he or she isn’t in their senses and that all of their actions are being altered based on their desire for more. This is exactly why I believe that Nurse Ratched in actuality is not a bad human being. In my opinion Nurse Ratched is made to look like an emasculating monster by the ward and McMurphy further proves this opinion when he acts against the very foundation laid down by Nurse Ratched. In reality when rules are…

Derek through the heart (after “I love you”) is ironic and works well. It’s not clear what happens to Alexia at the end. The final scene with the grandmother waking up like Sleeping Beauty is smart, although remember the audience can’t read the narrative descriptions about “sleeping beauty”. The end does feel like it needs something more regarding Alexia, before it transitions to the grandmother. The characters are complex, crazy, and un-nerving. They have a range of emotion that should…

“His Girls”- Question # 4 “The 1950s were a decade of prosperity for the United States. Conformity became the norm, and a conservative code of dress and behavior…dictated what was appropriate” (142). This is the background of the time the story, “A&P” written by John Updike, takes place in. Updike writes about a boy named Sammy who finds himself, while still in the stages of transitioning from a boy to a man a “boy-man” (Schneider). Sammy’s character starts to reveal itself when he is taken…
