The Dairy Science Department at Cal Poly :: Agriculture

The Dairy Science Department at Cal Poly The Eugene and Rachel Boone Dairy Science Complex at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo contains a fully-operational dairy and research facilities for students in the Dairy Science department. This complex is located on Mt. Bishop Road, past the Crops Unit and Veterinary Hospital, and sits in the scenic foothills of Bishop’s Peak. Cal Poly has one of the largest Dairy Science departments in the country and it is the only university on the west coast to offer a specific Dairy Science major. The first-rate facilities at Cal Poly allow students to learn about feeding, milking, calf raising, artificial insemination, and the management of dairies in the classroom and then practice what they have learned on the purebred Jerseys and Holsteins. The Dairy Cattle Instructional Unit was built in 1992 and is used for a wide range of instructional activities. The first floor of this unit contains two classrooms, a computer room, a nutrition and physiology laboratory, and a microbiology laboratory. Numerous plaques and awards from local cattle shows dot the white walls. Cal Poly has bred some of the top-rated cows in the nation for type and production and individual cows have won many awards for the rich content and amount of milk produced. Industrial-like stairs along one wall lead up to the second floor where visitors can view the milking process. Cows are milked at the milking parlor daily from 4 to 6 am and 4 to 6 pm. This immaculate parlor can milk 16 cows at one time and contains state of the art milking equipment including an energy-efficient pre-cooling system, which the milk passes through before being stored in two 3,000-gallon bulk tanks. The physiology laboratory is used for artificial insemination, feed a nalysis, and dairy biotechnology courses. Students perform experiments such as embryo manipulations and transfer techniques in this laboratory. Beyond the Instructional Unit are the barns where all the cows reside.

Night World : Black Dawn Chapter 5

Maggie woke slowly. And painfully. I must be sick, she thought. It was the only explanation for the way she felt. Her bodywas heavy and achy, her head was throbbing, and her sinuseswere completely stuffed up. She was breathing through her mouth, which was so dry and glueythat her tongue stuck to the roof of it. I was having a dream, she thought. But even asshe grasped at bits of it,, it dissolved. Somethingabout †¦ fog? And a boy. It seemed vaguely important for her to remember, but even the importance was hard to keep holdof. Besides, another, more practical considerationwas overriding it. Thirst. She was dying of thirst. I need a glass of water†¦. It took a tremendous effort to lift her head and open her eyes. But when she did, her brain cleared fast. She wasn't in her bedroom. She was in asmall, dark, smelly room; a room that was moving jerkily, bouncing her painfully up and down andfrom side to side. There was a rhythmic noise com ing from just outside that she felt she should be able to recognize. Below her cheek and under her fingers was theroughness of unpainted wood. The ceiling andwalls were made of the same silvery, weatheredboards. What kind of room is small and made of woodand†¦ Not a room, she thought suddenly. A vehicle. Some kind of wooden cart. As soon as she realized it, she knew what therhythmic sound was. Horses' hoofs. No, it can't be, she thought. It's too bizarre. I am sick; I'm probably hallucinating. But it felt incredibly real for a hallucination. Itfelt exactlyasif she were in a wooden cart beingdrawn by horses. Over rough ground. Which ex plained all the jostling. So what was going on?What was she doinghere? Where did I go to sleep? All at once adrenaline surged through her-andwith it a flash of memory. Sylvia. The incense†¦ Miles. Miles is dead†¦ no. He's not. Sylvia said thatbut she was lying. And then she said I'd never findout what happened to him. And then she druggedme with that smoke. It gave Maggie a faint feeling of satisfaction tohave put this much together. Even if everythingelse was completely confusing, she had a solidmemory to hang on to. â€Å"You woke up,† a voice said. â€Å"Finally. This kidsays you've been asleep for a day and a half.† Maggie pushed herself up by stages until shecould see the speaker. It was a girl with untidy red hair, an angular, intense face, and flat, hard eyes.She seemed to be about Maggie's age. Beside her was a younger girl, maybe nine or ten. She was very pretty, slight, with short blond hair under ared plaid baseball cap. She looked frightened. â€Å"Who are you?† Maggie said indistinctly. Hertongue was thick-she was so thirsty.†Where amI? What's going on?† â€Å"Huh. You'll find out,† the redhaired girl said. Maggie looked around. There was a fourth girl inthe cart, curled up in the corner with her eyes shut. Maggie felt stupid and slow, but she tried togather herself. â€Å"What do you mean I've been asleep for a day and a half?† The redhaired girl shrugged. â€Å"That's what shesaid. I wouldn't know. They just picked me up afew hours ago. I almost made it out of this place, but they caughtme.†Ã¢â‚¬Ëœ Maggie stared at her. There was a fresh bruiseon one of the girl's angular cheekbones and her lipwas swollen. â€Å"Whatplace?† she said slowly. When nobodyanswered, she went on, `Look. I'm Maggie Neely. I don't know where this is or what I'm doing here,but the last thing I remember is a girl named Sylviaknocking me out. Sylvia Weald. Do you guysknow her?† The redhead just stared back with narrowedgreen eyes. The girl lying down didn't stir, and theblond kid in the plaid cap cringed. â€Å"Come on, somebody talk to me!† â€Å"You really doe t know what's going on?† the redhaired girl said. â€Å"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking over and over!† The girl eyed her a moment, then spoke with akind of malicious pleasure. â€Å"You've been sold into slavery. You re a slave now.† Maggie laughed. It was a short involuntary sound, and it hurt heraching head. The blond kid flinched again. Something in her expression made Maggie's grin fadeaway. . She felt a cold ripple up her spine. â€Å"Come on,† she said. â€Å"Give me a break. Therearen't slaves anymore!† â€Å"There are here.† The redhead smiledagain,nastily. â€Å"But I bet you don't know whereyouare, either.† â€Å"In Washington State-† Even as she said it,Maggie felt her stomach tighten. â€Å"Wrong. Or right, but it doesn't matter. Technically we may be in Washington, but where we really are is hell.† Maggie was losing her self control. â€Å"What are you talkingabout?† â€Å"Take a look through that crack.† There were lots of cracks in the cart; the palelight that filtered through them was the only illumi nation. Maggie knelt up and put her eye to a big one, blinking and squinting. At first she couldn't see much. The cart wasbouncing and it was hard to determine what shewas looking at. All she knew was that there seemedto be no color. Everything was either phosphorescent white or dead black. Gradually she realized that the white was an overcast sky, and the black was a mountain. A big mountain, close enough to smack her face against. It reared up haughtily against the sky, its lowerreaches covered with trees that seemed ebony instead of green and swimming with mist. Its top wascompletely wreathed in clouds; there was no way to judge how high it was. And beside it was another mountain just like it.Maggie shifted, trying to get a wider view. Therewere mountains everywhere, in an impenetrablering surrounding her. They were†¦ scary. Maggie knew mountains, and loved them, butthese were different from any she'd ever seen. So cold, and with that haunted mist creeping everywhere. The place seemed to be full of ghosts, materializing and then disappearing with an almostaudible wail. It was like another world. Maggie sat down hard, then slowly turned backto look at the redheaded girl. â€Å"Where is this?† she said, and her voice was almost a whisper. To her surprise, the girl didn't laugh maliciouslyagain. Instead she looked away, with eyes thatseemed to focus on some distant and terrible memory, and she spoke in almost a whisper herself. â€Å"It's the most secret place in the Night World.† Maggie felt as if the mist outside had reached down the back of her pajama top. â€Å"The what?† â€Å"The Night World. It's like an organization. For all of them, youknow.† When Maggie just looked at her, she went on, â€Å"Them. The ones that aren't human.† This time what Maggie felt was a plunging in her stomach, and she honestly didn't know if it was because she was locked up in here with a loony, or if some part of her already accepted what the loony was saying. Either way, she was scared sick, and she couldn't say anything. The girl with red hair flicked a glance at her, and the malicious pleasure came back. â€Å"The vampires,† she said distinctly, â€Å"and the shapeshifters and the witches – â€Å" Oh, God, Maggie thought. Sylvia.Sylvia is a witch. She didn't know how she knew and probably part of her didn't believe it anyway, but the word was thundering around inside her like an avalanche, gathering evidence as it fell. The incense, those strange purple eyes, the way Miles fell for her so fast and hardly ever called the family after he met her, and changed his whole personality, just as if he'd been under a spell, bewitched and helpless, and, oh, Miles, why didn't I guess†¦. I'm not smart, but I've always been a good judge of character. How could I screw up when it counted? â€Å"They don't normally have places of their own,† the redheaded girl was going on; and the wordswere somehow finding their way to Maggie's earsdespite the chaos going on inside her. â€Å"Mostly theyjust live in ourcities, pretending to be like us. Butthis valley is special; it's been here in the Cascades for centuries and humans have never found it. It's all surrounded by spells and fogand those moun tains. There's a pass through them, big enough forcarts, but only the Night People can see it. It'scalled the Dark Kingdom.† Oh, terrific,Maggie thought numbly. The namewas strangely suited to what she'd seen outside. Yellow sunlight was almost impossible to imagine in this place. Those filmy wraiths of mist held it ina shimmering silvery-white spell. â€Å"And you're trying to say that we're all †¦slaves now? But how did you guys get here?† When the redhead didn't answer, she looked atthe little blond girl. The girl shifted her slight body, gulped. Finallyshe spoke in a husky little voice. â€Å"I'm P.J. Penobscot. I was-it happened to meon Halloween. I was trick-or-treating.† She looked down at herself and Maggie realized she was wearing a tan cable-knit sweater and a vest. â€Å"I was agolfer. And I was only supposed to go on my ownblock because the weather was getting bad. But myfriend Aaron and I went across the street and thiscar stopped in front ofme†¦.†She trailed off andswallowed hard. Maggie reached over and squeezed her hand. â€Å"I bet you were a great golfer.† P.J. smiled wanly. â€Å"Thanks.† Then her small face hardened and her eyes became distant. â€Å"Aaron got away, but this man grabbed me. I tried to hit him with my golf club, but he took it away. He lookedat me and then he put me in the car. He wasstrong.† â€Å"He was a professional slave trader,† the redhaired girl said. â€Å"Both the guys I've seen are pros.That's why they looked at her face-they takepretty slaves when they can get them.† Maggie stared at her, then turned to P.J. â€Å"Andthen what?† â€Å"They put something over my face-I was stillfighting and yelling and everything-and then Iwent to sleep for a while. I woke up in this warehouse place.† She breathed once and looked at herthin wrists. â€Å"I was chained to a bed and I was allalone. I was alone for a while. And then, maybe itwas the next day, they brought in her.†She noddedat the girl sleeping in the corner. Maggie looked at the still form. It didn't moveexcept when the cart shook it. â€Å"Is she all right?† â€Å"She's sick. They left her there for a long time, maybe four days, but she never really woke up. Ithink she's getting worse.† P.J.'s voice was quiet and detached. â€Å"They came in to give us food, but that was all. And then yesterday they brought you in. Maggie blinked. â€Å"To the warehouse.† P.J. nodded solemnly. â€Å"You were asleep, too. But I don't know what happened after that. They putthe cloth over my face again. When I woke up Iwas in a van.† â€Å"They use those for transport on the other side,†the redhaired girl said. â€Å"To get up to the pass. Then they switch to a cart. The people in this valleyhave never seen a car.† â€Å"So you mean I slept through all that?† Maggieasked P.J. P.J. nodded again, and the redhead said, â€Å"Theyprobably gave you more of the drug. They try to keep everybody too doped up to fight.† Maggie was chewing her lip. Something had occurred to her. Maybe Sylvia hadn't gone climbingwith Miles at all. â€Å"So, PJ., you never saw any other slaves besides that girl? You didn't see a boy?† She fished in her jacket pocket and pulled out the photoof Miles. â€Å"A boy who looked like this?† P.J. looked at the photograph gravely, then shookher head. â€Å"I never saw him before. He looks likeyou. â€Å"He's my brother, Miles. He disappeared on Halloween, too. I thought maybe†¦ .†Maggie shookher head, then held the photograph toward the redhaired girl. â€Å"Never seen him before,† the girl said shortly. Maggie looked at her. For somebody who likedto talk about scary things, she didn't say much thatwas helpful. â€Å"And what about you? How'd you gethere?† The girl snorted. â€Å"I told you. I was getting outofthe valley.† Her face tightened. â€Å"And I almost madeit through the pass, but they caught me and stuckme in here. I should have made them kill me instead.† â€Å"Whoa,† Maggie said. She glanced at Pi., meaning that they shouldn't frighten her unnecessarily.†It can't be that bad.† To her surprise, the girl didn't sneer or get mad. â€Å"It's worse,† she said, almost whispering again.†Just leave it alone. You' l find out.† Maggie felt the hair at the back of her neck stir. â€Å"What are you saying?† The girl turned, her green eyes burning darkly.†The Night People have to eat,† she said. â€Å"They caneat normal things, food and water. But the vampires have to drink blood and the shapeshiftershave to eat flesh. Is that clear enough for you?† Maggie sat frozen. She wasn't worried aboutscaring P.J. anymore. She was too scared herself. â€Å"We're slave labor for them, but we're also a foodsupply. A food supply that lasts a long time,through lots of feedings,† the girl said brusquely. Maggie ducked her head and clenched her fists.†Well, then, obviously we've got to escape,† she said through her teeth. The redhead gave a laugh so bitter that Maggiefelt a chill down her spine. She looked at P.J. â€Å"Do you want to escape?† â€Å"Leave her alone!† the redhead snapped. â€Å"You,don't understand what you're talking about. We'reonly humans; they're Night People. There's nothingwe can do against them, nothing!† â€Å"BUt – 2) â€Å"Do you know what the Night People do to slaveswho try to escape?† And then the redhaired girl turned her back onMaggie. She did it with a lithe twist that left Maggie startled. Did I hurt her feelings? Maggie thought stupidly. The redhead glanced back over her shoulder, atthe same time reaching around to grasp the bottomof her shirt in back. Her expression was unreadable, but suddenlyMaggie was nervous. â€Å"What are you doing?† The redhaired girl gave a strange little smile andpulled the shirt up, exposing her back. Somebody had been playing tic-tac-toe there. The lines were cut into the flesh of her back, thescars shiny pink and only half healed. In thesquares were Xs and Os, raggedy-looking andbrighter red because for the most part they'd beenburned in. A few looked cut, like the strategic posi tion in the middle which would have been takenfirst. Somebody had won, three diagonal Xs, and had run a burn-line through the winning marks. Maggie gasped. She kept on gasping. She started to hyperventilate, and then she started to faint. The world seemed to recede from her, narrowingdown to a one-dimensional point of light. But there wasn't room to actually fall over. As she slumpedbackward, she hit the wall of the cart. The world wobbled and came back, shiny at the edges. â€Å"Oh, God,† Maggie said. â€Å"Oh, God.They did thisto you? How could they dothat?† â€Å"This is nothing,† the girl said. â€Å"They did it whenI escaped the first time. And now I escaped againand I got caught again. This time they'll do something worse.† She let go of her top and it slid downto cover her back again. Maggie tried to swallow, but her mouth was toodry. Before she knew she was moving, she foundherself grabbing the girl's arms from behind. â€Å"What's your name?† â€Å"Who ca-â€Å" â€Å"What's your name?† The redhaired girl gave her a peculiar look over her shoulder. Then her arms lifted slightly under Maggie's handsas she shrugged. â€Å"Jeanne.† â€Å"Jeanne. It's got to stop,† Maggie said. â€Å"We can't let them dothings like that to people. And we'vegot to get away. If they're already going to punishyou for escaping, what difference does it make ifyou try it again now? Don't you think?† Maggie liked the way that sounded, calm andcompetent and logical. The swift decision for ac tion didn't blot out the memory of what she'd just seen, but it made the whole situation more bearable. She'd witnessed an injustice and she wasgoing to do something about it. That simple. Something so wicked had to be fixed, now. She started to cry. Jeanne turned around, gave her a long, assessinglook. P.J. was crying, too, very quietly. Maggie found her tears running out. Theyweren't doing any good. When she stopped, Jeanne was still watching her with narrowed eyes. â€Å"So you're going to take on the whole NightWorld alone,† she said. Maggie wiped her cheeks with her hands. â€Å"No,just the ones here.† Jeanne stared at her another moment, thenstraightened abruptly. â€Å"Okay,† she said, so suddenly that Maggie was startled. â€Å"Let's do it. If wecan figure out a way.† Maggie looked toward the back of the cart.†What about those doors?† â€Å"Locked and chained on the outside. It's no goodkicking them.† From nowhere, an image came into Maggie'smind. Herself and Miles in a rowboat on Lake Chelan with their grandfather. Deliberately rocking it while their grandfather yelled and fumed. â€Å"What if we all throw our weight from one sideto the other? If we could turn the cart over, maybethe doors would pop open. You know how armored cars always seem to do that. Or maybe it wouldsmash one of the walls enough that we could getout.† â€Å"And maybe we'd go falling straight down a ravine,† Jeanne said acidly. â€Å"It's a long way down to the valley, and this road is narrow.† But there wasa certain unwilling respect in her eyes. â€Å"I guess wecould try it when we get to a meadow,† she said slowly. â€Å"I know a place. I'm not saying it would work; it probably won't. But †¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"We have totry,† Maggie said. She was lookingstraight at Jeanne. For a moment there was something between them-a flash of understanding andagreement. A bond. â€Å"Once we got out, we'd have to run,† Jeanne said,still slowly. â€Å"They're sitting up there.† She pointedto the ceiling at the front of the cart, above Maggie's head. â€Å"This thing is like a stagecoach, okay?There's a seat up there, and the two guys are onit. Professional slave traders are tough. They're not going to want us to get away.† â€Å"They might get smashed up when we roll over,†Maggie said. Jeanne shook her head sharply. â€Å"Night People arestrong. It takes a lot more than that tokill them.We'd have to just take off and head for the forest as fast as we could. Our only chance is to get lostin the trees-and hope they can't track us.† â€Å"Okay,† Maggie said. She looked at P.J. â€Å"Do youthink you could do that? Just run and keeprunning?† P.J. gulped twice, sank her teeth into her top lip, and nodded. She twisted her baseball cap around so the visor faced the back. â€Å"I can run,† she said. Maggie gave heranapproving nod. Then shelooked at the fourth girl, the one still curled upasleep. She leaned over to touch the girl's shoulder. â€Å"Forget it,† Jeanne said shortly. â€Å"We can't takeher.† Maggie looked up at her, shocked. â€Å"What are youtalking about? Why not?†

Essay on Salvation (Langston Hughes) - 666 Words

Saved From Innocence In most peoples lives, there comes a point in time where their perception changes abruptly; a single moment in their life when they come to a sudden realization. In Langston Hughes Salvation, contrary to all expectations, a young Hughes is not saved by Jesus, but is saved from his own innocence. Salvation is the story of a young boy who has an experience of revelation. While attending a church revival, he comes to the sudden realization that Jesus will not physically come save him. In the first three sentences of the essay, the speaker adopts a very childlike style. He makes use of simple words and keeps the sentences short, similar in style to that of an early aged teenager. But since the text is written†¦show more content†¦Just like any other kid would, Hughes listens and believes word-for-word what his aunt tells him: She said you could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul. (181) This naivete is characteristic of youths of that age group. After all, he heard a great many old people say the same thing (181) and it seemed to him they ought to know (181). With all the hype and anticipation surrounding this event, Hughes is certain something is bound to happen. His disappointment is manifested when he does not literally see Jesus. From what he has been told, Hughes is expecting to see a human incarnation of Jesus. He is actually more than just expecting to see him; he badly wants to be saved! Seeing Westley give up so carelessly, triggers an awkwar d feeling inside of Hughes. The thought that Jesus is not going to show up after all is starting to grow. That leads him to eventually give up and join Westley in lying. It is only at night that he comes to the realization that he was fooled. All the stories and preaching he heard were just fabulations. He wanted to see Jesus, but Jesus did not come at his rescue. His perception changed because he went from being an innocent child to someone who has acquired the personal experience to make his own judgements.

PERSONAL REFLECTION 2 PERSONAL NARRATIVE This assignment seems to be the most difficult to write because it will encompass a wealth of information. The most important part of this assignment is the opportunity to reflect on the course assignments and the impact this foundational base will have for future classes. Every event in life has to start somewhere and this start sets the stage for future learning. This personal reflection of the skills that I have learned during the past eight weeks will positively impact my educational journey at Northcentral University. What I Already Know I already know that throughout my doctoral†¦show more content†¦The Northcentral time management training provided me with insight into different strategies to use during this process (Attack Your Day,2013). This training emphasized the importance of planning your day and then color coding the activities of your day as to their importance. This was very important skill for me to learn, the ranking of scheduled activities by their importance. This process will still allow you to complete the activities on your calendar however it suggested a way of completing the activities according to their importance (Attack Your Day,2013). This training also provided with information on the difference between multi-tasking and alternate-tasking (Attack Your Day,2013). I previously felt that I was a great multi-tasker and that this skill was the key to success. I started this doctoral journey with this theory in mind feeling that I could fit another thing in becaus e I had acquired the skill of multi-tasking. That was until I learned that multi-tasking may work for some things but the key to being successful was to develop the skill of alternate-tasking. The acquiring of this skill will help you to provide full focus on the desired task without any interruptions as opposed to attempting to complete many things at the same time as with multi-tasking (Attack Your Day,2013).

The routine and protected life, when suddenly disrupted, finds new vibrant alternatives. The new way of life, gives rise to new views about life. The strange surroundings turn out to be divine blessings. Nowhere in Africa turns out to nowhere in Africa! The Film: The autobiographical novel-based movie is about such happenings in the life of Stefanie Zweig. Walter Redlich was a successful lawyer in Germany, when Hitler rode to power. The persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany was gathering speed, and to remain in Germany was to invite grave danger to life and property for the Jews.   Walter moved to Kenya. But his wife Jettel and daughter Regina stayed back. This decision of Jettel, shows her love for the social life in Germany, her reluctance to give up the comforts of city life. She also wishes to keep her daughter under her protective wings. She doesn’t like the dark and backward country Kenya. She is a prominent figure in the social circles in Germany, and she is enamored by the glamour of social life in Germany. As the Nazi persecution goes on unabated, Jettel has no alternative and she joins her husband in Kenya along with Regina. Her worst fears about the life and living in Kenya come true. She is accustomed to live a cozy life in Germany, and she resents the rugged farm labor imposed in her new Kenyan pattern of life. Another psychological problem surfaces for Walters as he discovers that Germans are not liked by British settlers in Kenya. The young Regina suffers the most, initially. She finds herself lost in the new and unfamiliar surroundings and nothing fascinates this young girl—except their African family cook, Owuv. Gradually, she begins to like the natural beauty of Kenya. A deep friendship sprouts between Owuvr and the young child. Subsequently Germany invades Africa, and the German National Walter is taken to a British internment camp along with his wife and daughter. The beauty Jettel, seduces a British Army Officer, Walter is put in charge of another farm, and Regina is admitted to a boarding school. The strength of the movie is that it searches the real Africa, its soul, through the innocent and affectionate view point of the child, which has malice towards none. She is kindled with curiosity to know the ways of the world around her. The vast gorgeousness of Kenyan plains has tremendous appeal to her. The transformation that takes place in the city -kitten Jettel as a professional farmland Manager, is real and worth noticing. She understands now, and is not fussy. But human nature being what it is, she continues to be culturally insensitive. She came to Kenya to escape torture and certain death at the hands of Nazis, but it is tormenting to watch how she discriminates against the native Kenyans –then where lies the difference between her and the Nazis? The strength of the film lies in the authentic portrayal of the characters, how they face the ups and downs of the family relationship and the gradual growth and the relevant changes related to its characters. This film is suitable for family viewing. But the short sex scenes and those related to animal sacrifice do not contribute to the overall dignity of the movie. Nowhere in Africa, an Autobiographical Novel, Stefanie Zweig. That the movie is based on this best-selling autobiographical novel won the 2002 Academy Award for the best foreign language film speaks about the merit of the novel. The book describes the harsh realities for the Redlich family, moving from a western country, Germany, to the remote farmlands of Kenya. Regina, their five year old daughter has no problems to adjust and adopt the new way of life. Their cook, Owuor is their language teacher as well. They begin to love the country of their forced choice, but when the war is over, the real problem surfaces. Walter wishes to return to Germany, but once the- Kenya-hater Kettel, wishes to stay back in Kenya. The German children, on their return to Germany after the War, are strangers in their own land. They have to learn German from the beginning. Whenever a book is made into a film, changes in many areas are inevitable. The actress shown in then film (Kettel) and the real mother of the novel are diametrically opposed to each other. Many other parts of the film are true to the contents of the novel. The African cook speaking Swahili gives the genuine touch to the conversation. Stefanie wrote the book under strange circumstances. The paper for which she was working closed down and then she joined a tabloid paper in Frankfurt, as Arts Editor. There she did many a film reviews. She admits the limitations of making a film out of a book, when she says, â€Å"So I knew that the film and the book weren’t going to be the same.† The reality of Walter family returning to Germany after the end of the war has been very well depicted in the book. The great love of Stefanie for her father is also touchingly narrated on more than one occasion in the book. She was asked to do a thing, which she did not like-returning to her own Germany, which was a strange land to her on all counts but she did it for the sake of her love for her father. In a novel the author has lots of freedom to write detailed descriptions, but the director of the film has limitations. Therefore, then film is not the true representation of her life, as compared to the book. The emphasis in the book is for the story of the little girl Regina (Stefanie), but in the film it shifts to her parents and their marital problems. In a highly complicated novel like Nowhere in Africa, with several characters interacting with each other and shifting locales, film adaptation is very different from the original text. The undercurrent of love is seen through the characterization of all characters in the novel, that’s why it is said, the novel tells something deep within the author. It was her father’s advice not to hate. Also the life of 1938 as depicted in Kenya is much different from what is portrayed in the film. More importance is given in the film to the Walter couple and they talk of their marriage incessantly, sidetracking the real problems of their forced migration. Their intense talk about adjusting and saving their marriage looks unrealistic in the given circumstances. At least that is not what is described in the novel. The family escaped from Nazi Germany certainly not to settle scores about their marriage relationship, they had other priorities in life, according to the book. But the film ignores it. That is moving from the tracks of reality. From the point of view of generating revenue for the film, the leading lady of the novel has got to be glamorous, she has to have some peculiar characteristics either positive or negative, and Jettel has been accordingly shown as a cold, calculating and a woman filled with vanity. The book views the qualities in a different perspective. She is not at all that had as shown in the film. To be unhappy is one thing. But what is chiseled in the film is no justice to Jettel. The film presents a more luxurious pattern of life than what is depicted in the novel. As a child Regina was very poor and she could not afford the costly costumes shown in the movie-that is not what is shown about her at that age. But the Regina of age 12 in the book and the movie are one and the same. Her deep love for Ouwor is shown realistically in the movie as compared to the book. The book was hailed as the Society’s best juvenile title in The Netherlands. So also, the movie, whose main focus is on the parent’s relationship. She wrote the book out of respect for her parents. The strong influence of her father played a big part in shaping of the book, which the film could not show in detail due to the limitations of time and other related factors. The actress does not convey the real Jettel in the book. Besides being tough, she was a charming human being also. You see and experience the lasting human love between her and the family cook Ouwor. That’s a great characterization in the book. ———————— References: Nowhere in Africa, DVD, 2003 Zweig, Stefanie, Nowhere in Africa: An Autobiographical Novel, Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press; 1st edition (March 15, 2004) ISBN-10: 0299199606 ISBN-13 : 978-0299199609 How to cite Nowhere in Africa, Essay examples

Death Penalty misc2 Essay Example For Students

Death Penalty misc2 Essay When New York States governor George Pataki took office in 1995, crime dropped in total of 45%, and the murder rate dropped by 1/3. As of September 1st 1995, the death penalty was reinstated in the state of New York, assuring safer communities and fewer victims, and an over all drop in crime rate. People have used a number of arguments to support their views regarding the death penalty. Among the arguments used include deterrence, incapacitation, religious viewpoint, rehabilitation and cost. Yet it is suggested that the true judgement of a persons position on capital punishment is determined by emotional and moral beliefs. The primary questions raised by the death penalty are whether it is an effective deterrent to violent crime, and whether it is more effective than the long-term incapacitation. Defenders of the death penalty believe that by taking an offenders life is a more severe punishment than any prison term, it must be the better deterrent. A life term is commonly a short vacation at State expense with nothing to do but eat the fruit of others industry. (Opposing, p43.) The term deterrence is used to suggest that with the execution of murderers, there will be a direct decrease in homicide rate, due to the idea that potential murderers will fear for their own lives. Under New Yorks death penalty law offenders involving: murder of a police officer; a probation, parole, court, or corrections officer; a judge; or a witness or members of witnesss family. Also those who murder while already serving life in prison, escaping from prison, or committing other serious felonies, as well contract killers, s erial murderers, those who torture their victims, and those who have murdered before.It is criminals and crimes like these that impose fear in our communities. Due to change in sentencing laws, and other weaknesses in the system, society is not protected from acts of crime. In 1962, James Moore raped and murdered a 14 year old girl. He was not sentenced to death, but instead life imprisonment. Twenty years later, due to a change in our system, Moore is eligible for parole every two years. It is criminals like Moore, who do not deserve the right to live, certainly not amongst innocent communities. In 1868, in a debate before Englands Parliament one man stated It is better that the murderer should parish than that innocent men and women should have their throats cut. (Opposing, p57.) It are those individuals who commit a crime so grave, that they relinquish their right to life. On a religious and moral standpoint, it is said that the death penalty is a fitting punishment. Written in the bible by Luke: a certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time. Now atvintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they might gave him some of the fruit of the vineyard.But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And again he sent a third; and they wounded him and cast him out. Then the owner of the vineyard said, what shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.. But when the vinefressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.-Luke 20:9-16. (Pro-capital, p15.)It is said that in this passage Jesus states that the probable punishment for murder is death. Christians who morally support the death penalty may do so for two reasons; they believe in an eye for an eye, meaning that with those whose crimes are to grave, they deserve to die. They also believe if the criminal is repentant of the crime they committed, they are regretful for doing so, then by their execution they are justified to the Lord. Next there is the issue of rehabilitation. Abolitionists who support the concept of rehabilitation for murderers believe that imprisonment is effective in preventing murders from happening again. Murderers have the lowest rates of effective rehabilitation. Those who murder generally show no remorse, or guilt, and have the ability to kill again. In fact, murderers who serve time in prison are more likely to commit more murders, whether in prison, or upon th eir release. Civilization must have rules to follow otherwise there will be utter chaos. With 3/4ths of Americans in favor of the death penalty, and murder rates in New York State down by nearly 1/3, one must question the downside of capital punishment. An effective punishment not only forfeits the rights of the criminal, it deters crime, increases public safety and helps provide restitution to victims. All these components are found in the newly reinstated death penalty law. Death has a property that life in prison does not: finality. (Does, p34.) Bibliography:BIBLIOGRAPHY:BOOKS:1.
