Jennifer Strauss, Les Murray and Elizabeth Riddell explore the similar idea of loss of innocence. Strauss expresses concern for her son, whom has lost his innocence to his own anger and depression, through various contrasts. In the opening stanza she describes her son as ‘weightless of cause or consequence,’ which highlights the innocence of her son, unburdened by responsibility. Specifically, the term ‘weightless’ is used as an analogy to compare her son to the likes of Armstrong. This image is once again revisited in the final stanza, only the tone is darker; ‘his clumsy steps/ walking a landscape stranger than the moon,’ communicates that her son is now weighted by the burden of society and the world. This idea is reinforced as Strauss metaphorically describes her son as being a ‘night without stars.’ The image of ‘stars’ is a representation of optimism and thus the darkness of the night symbolises his depression. Similarly, Riddell uses irony to reveal the same loss of innocence through the metaphor; ‘welcome, baby, to the world of swords/ and deadlier words.’ In this way, Riddell juxtaposes the joy and innocence generally associated with the welcoming of a new baby to the harsh reality of the world. Comparably, Murray confesses his own troubled childhood and adolescence as a result of his mother’s passing. Murray uses the metaphor of living permanently ‘in funeral’ to describe his perpetual state of mourning. The early loss of his mother tainted his outlook on the…

there were 51 colonies in quadrant A (the handle of the paper dispenser in the women’s bathroom), most were circular in shape, white in color, and smooth over all. There were 87 colonies in quadrant B (the spatula used in the sandwich bar), most being circular, white, and smooth. There were 13 colonies in quadrant C (the outer handle of the front entrance to the school); they were mostly circular, beige and shiny. Lastly, there were 55 colonies in quadrant D (the microphone part of the podium);…

Mini 2 - Speech to Save Quadrant L Hello authorities, I am a child from quadrant L and there is quite the dilemma going on right now. My fellow students and I have been suffering now that we live in post-apocalyptic Hawai’i. Two fifths of the earth’s population has already died from everything that has been going on, and everyone is trying to survive in their own ways. We built ourselves a giant, clear glass dome in order to survive, however we are all in great danger. We rely on a large kelp…

You did a fantastic job explaining the four quadrants on which patients need fall into what quadrant and where they would benefit treatment. To recap the patients that belong into each quadrant are as followed: • Quadrant 1 – Less severe substance use disorder and less severe mental health disorder • Quadrant 2 – More serious mental health disorder and less severe substance use disorder • Quadrant 3 – More serious substance use disorder and less severe mental health disorder • Quadrant 4 –…

good relaxation space to teach you, because it is a very familiar environment for you, please try to feel relaxed and casual, and you do not feel nervous. Next, I gave her the paper and pen, in order to let her do the activities about quadrant, ABC123, and time log. 2. Describe your friend’s reaction when explaining the technique that you planned for them? She listened very carefully, but also asked me some questions. For example, she asked me that whether she needs to put all the details of…

I'm sitting on a park bench in the darkness of night on a warm summer day, staring through a few trees, staring into a one way street roughly a hundred feet away, staring at the SUV parked and pointing to my left, staring at the woman sitting in the drivers seat and the man leaning up against the passenger seat on her side of the car smoking a cigarette. Imagine a plus sign, imagine four quadrants, the bottom-left and bottom-right is the park, I'm sitting in the bottom-left quadrant…

The Cummins Quadrant is a detailed model of learning. Any activity a student takes part in can be placed in one of the four quadrants of activity. Quadrant A is where students receive contexts clues to help understanding. For example, students may be following directions or giving oral presentations. It is context embedded. Quadrant C is where students receive less or none context clues. It is context reduced. An activity in quadrant C may be from following written directions on assignment to…

Steve Mueller, author of “Stephen Covey’s Time Management Matrix Explained”, wrote about Stephen Covey, an inspirational speaker who wrote many books, and his explanation of time management and the four quadrants on how to prioritize. Each quadrant had a specific meaning of what task goes in the quadrant and also gave examples. The first quadrant had to deal with important deadlines with very high urgency’s; an example could be getting gas or an essay that is due tomorrow because they need…

South Africa presented so many contrasts, conflicts and contradictions for me. Too many to address in this short article. The one aspect that is worth mentioning here, like people, countries also have quadrant preferences. My observation is that countries evolve through the quadrants. South Africa has gone from an extreme collection of three different tribes of indigenous people to being overtaken by invading tribes in the 1860’s goldrush to European tribes (Dutch and English) to ruling tribes…

Kelp, our one and only source of nutrition, is nearly gone. With the remaining resources we have, we’d only last a few more weeks. Along with our weak source of kelp, it has contracted an extreme disease that seems to be spreading rapidly. There are scientists that are working on a solution for the contracted virus, however, there seems to be no sign of a solution, nor no signs of obtaining an idea for the solution either. On top of this, it seems our water source has been rapidly…
