    In John Updike’s “A & P” Sammy, the main character of the story encounters three young girls who come into his grocery store. They are dressed for a day at the beach, not shopping. “The one that caught my eye first was the one in the plaid green two-piece. She was a chunky kid, with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs.” (Updike) Sammy goes on to say the girls are barefoot and in describing another of the girls says the straps on her swimsuit are down. Their apparel gives them some unintended attention. Lengel, the A & P manager, confronts the three girls, reminding them they are not at the beach. The girls try to defend themselves stating the reason they are in the store is to pick up one item for one of the girls’ mothers. Lengel does not care and tells the girls it does not matter why they are in the store but they need to be decent when they came in to do any sort of shopping. Sammy does not like the way Lengel made a scene and embarrassed the girls. He feels he must follow his heart and stand up for the three girls by quitting his job. In my life, exploring the option of homeschooling my three children, I feel there could be unintended negative consequences as well. Weighing the pros and cons of the decision is a heavy task, but in the end I must do what is right for my family despite outside obstacles, just as Sammy had to do what he felt was right. Sadly, doing what is right for you often times is rejected by main stream society and can therefore bring uphill challenges that accompany your decision.…

    Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, analyses the notion of humanity being simultaneously good and evil, and also of there being a complexity of varying layers of instinctive behaviours. Stevenson explores these concepts in his narrative technique, amongst the midst of the aristocracy and middle class Victorian values of respectability, morality and intolerant sexual restraint.…

    At the beginning of the article the author sets a scene of a typical road trip. He portraits a tranquil atmosphere using adjectives “nice” and “relaxing”. However, this peaceful scene is soon disturbed by the argument of the couple, as John couldn’t understand what Allison’s actual intentions were. The author tells an anecdote in order to explain features of women’s spoken language, such as indirect speech, in more entertaining way that would capture the reader’s attention. He implements spoken language features, for example non standard structuring of questions “everything OK darling?” and punctuation marks “… “ which indentifies the pause of the speaker, so the story would be easy to follow. The anecdote highlights the indirect speech features of Allison by the use of interrogative “ Would you like a cup of coffee?” Although, the pronoun ‘you’ should suggest that she was only addressing to her friend, John, but according to author her intentions were self-centred. She only asked, because she wanted a cup of coffee herself. The metaphor “beats around the bush” also suggests that women tent to hedge and use fillers when expressing themselves.…

    Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the same, correct way. As preparation for the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.…

    The introduction of “A Question of Language,” is a frame for Gloria Naylor's discussion. Gloria Naylor defines how the written and spoken language can give different meaning to a word. She considers language powerful tool used by writers and everyday people, to express their feelings and capture reality and life. She portrays just how powerful she feels the spoken word could be. And she introduces to all of us that how powerful the spoken word could be which was what the rest of the piece emphasizes. Gloria Naylor uses the chronological organization to start with her childhood experience and then transitions into how her thoughts on the word ‘nigger’ evolved into what they are today. The impacts of what and how we communicate can be very profound for others. Even by simply uttering a single word and sometimes by not saying anything at all, or just presenting a certain look can send a strong message, whether or not the sender’s intention has been interpreted correctly.…
