The Trumpet Player by Langston Hughes

Choose one of the poems included in the list of “Poetry Selections” in “Unit 3The poem i picked The Trumpet player By Langston Hughes)

You will closely read your chosen poem, considering its logic, organization, patterns of figurative language, and other literary elements. Read and reread the poem; by paying attention to the varied features of a poem, you will build an interpretation of the poem’s meaning.

Instructions:

Your essay is not a traditional 5 paragraph essay, but rather will be divided into two parts. These parts do not have to be of equal length.

Part 1: Scansion and Analysis

In the first part, which should be labeled with the heading “Part I: Scansion and Analysis,” you should make a brief, relevant introduction and then begin discussing the structural elements of the poem—its meter, its rhyme scheme, the punctuation, capitalization, and whatever else adds to the structural aspect of the poem.

In this section, you might consider what is significant among the following:

Stanzas (how many, what shapes, appearances, what breaks, rhyme scheme, are they all the same?)
Lines (lengths, line breaks, enjambment or end-stopped?)
Syntax/Diction (Is the poem grammatical? Does it follow English conventions? Why?)
Meter/Rhyme (free verse or metrical? How many feet? Is it consistent?)
Punctuation (anything unusual? Is it excessive, conventional, or omitted?)
Organization (how does the poem progress in time and space? What does it look like on the page?)
Form/Mode (is it a special type of poem: ode, dramatic, narrative, sonnet, elegy, or a mixture?)
Part 2: Explication

In the second part, titled “Part II: Explication,” begin explicating the poem. Move through the poem slowly in a logical manner, pointing out any literary devices or elements of interest. In this second part of the essay, you are helping your reader gain an understanding of the poem in terms of its narrative—what’s going on in the poem—and in terms of the poet’s use of poetic devices to convey meaning.

NOTE: Do not fall into the paraphrase trap; that is, do not take your reader line by line just to fill your essay with words. The point of explication is not to retell the poem; instead, you are explicating to point out in the poem those elements that need interpreting or those places within the poem where you find something interesting. Although the goal of explicating is to explain as much about a poem as is necessary, you should explicate reservedly and intelligently.

Here are some questions to consider in this section:

What is the poem’s main idea?
What larger themes or issues are addressed– religious, philosophical, political, etc.?
What patterns can you find (recurring imagery, repetition, formal and stylistic features)?
Are there allusions present to other poetic works, myths, historical/religious figures, etc.?
What is the lyric situation? (Why was it written? Who is the speaker/addressee? What is the occasion?)
What poetic devices and figurative language does it use? (metaphor, simile, metonymy, synecdoche, symbol, personification, etc.)
Why does it use the specific words it does? (consider etymologies, denotations, connotations, and homonyms. Use a dictionary/thesaurus to reinterpret or rethink even common words.)
What is its tone? What type of language does it use? (formal informal? Slang? Euphony/cacophony?)
At the end of Part II you should mention the theme(s) of the work as well as what you believe the overall meaning or central message of the poem is.

Source Requirements

You do not need to use any outside sources for this essay, although you might consider using a dictionary, etymologies online, or a thesaurus.

You should plan to include direct quotes from the text and properly cite them in-text using MLA format (for poetry, this will mean line numbers). Here is one example of how to cite a line of poetry in MLA format:
By concluding the poem with the lines “Of all the things that happened there / That’s all that I remember,” Cullen reinforces the tragic and transformative nature of the incident (11-12).
Note that there are spaces before and after the slash that indicates a line break, and the parenthetical citation appears at the end of the full sentence. Punctuation goes inside the quotation marks, and the period goes after the end parenthesis. If you are quoting four or more lines of poetry at once, you will have to reproduce them as a block quote, indented one inch from the left.

Academic Honesty

Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable. Please ask if you have questions about what constitutes plagiarism. Your words and your ideas must be your own.

Formatting and Style

Be sure to maintain an appropriate academic tone (no slang, second-person, contractions, etc.)

Your essay should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins, and numbered pages. Include your name, my name, the title and time of the class, and the date of the draft in the upper left hand corner of the first

Assignment : Fact Sheet: Social Security
Create a 2 page fact sheet on Social Security outlining eligibility, benefits, and funding. This should be completed using both assigned readings and additional research.

Bryson’s strategic planning process

Unit II PowerPoint Presentation

Your task is to create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation applying no fewer than five of the ten steps of Bryson’s strategic planning process described in Chapter 2 of the textbook, to the organization for which you work or a public/nonprofit organization with which you are familiar. You must bolster your contentions with a minimum of three peer reviewed journal articles. Be creative, but be realistic. Apply those steps or stages that have the most relevance to your chosen organization. You should structure your presentation as if given to your supervisor and/or board.

When creating the presentation, craft it in a “business professional” manner with appropriate text proportions, consistent and professional font, and appropriate images to present your information. While some features of PowerPoint may be better at catching attention, it may not be suitable for presenting professional information and driving home your point.

Your presentation should be written in APA style writing with appropriate citations. Include a references slide at the end of your presentation for your resources.

Discussion 3-Chapter 24 “Read the Case Study and answer the questions at the end”

It’s Friday morning and Sal Volpe is sitting in Dr. Lorraine’s exam room, dozing after another night of disrupted sleep. When the doctor knocks and walks in, she finds the 66-year-old man looking exhausted and uncomfortable. Sal gets to the reason for his visit immediately: He’s been suffering from “stomach aches” (dyspepsia) that wake him at night and nag him in between meals during the day. He describes his pain as gnawing, burning (maybe a 4 out of 10 on a pain scale) and points to the epigastric region of his abdomen. When he eats, he tells Dr. Lorraine, the pain goes away, but then he feels bloated and a little nauseated. The pain usually returns 2–4 hours later, depending on what he eats. Sal explains that he has had some pain relief from the over-the-counter drug Pepcid® (famotadine).

Dr. Lorraine proceeds with the history and physical exam. She discovers that Sal has a family history for gastrointestinal cancer and has unintentionally lost 10 pounds since his checkup a year ago. His epigastric area is modestly tender to palpation. She suspects a peptic ulcer (gastric or duodenal), but the weight loss and family history make it prudent to eliminate the diagnosis of stomach (gastric) cancer. “Mr. Volpe, I think you may have a stomach or intestinal ulcer,” Dr. Lorraine says. “I suggest we perform an endoscopy to have a look. This involves passing a small tube with a small camera through your mouth and into your stomach. We can look at the wall of your stomach and small intestine, check for an ulcer, and remove a very small piece of tissue to test for infection. We call this a biopsy. We’ll also test the biopsy for cancer because of your family history. But, I really think we’re dealing with an ulcer here and not cancer.”

Later that month, the endoscopy is performed and it confirms Dr. Lorraine’s suspicions. Sal has a duodenal ulcer and infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). This is not surprising since H. pylori is the cause of most peptic ulcer disease, particularly in the duodenum. Treatment involves complete eradication of the H. pylori with two different antibiotics, and a drug that decreases gastric acid secretion, a so-called proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Dr. Lorraine explains to Sal, “Mr. Volpe, you do not have stomach cancer, but you do have a duodenal ulcer caused by the H. pylori bacteria I was telling you about. Too much acid and inflammation from this infection is causing your pain. The good news is we can probably cure your ulcer by killing the bacteria, but you will have to take three different medications twice a day for 14 days. I’ll see you again in 3 weeks; we can do a simple breath test to determine if the H. pylori has been successfully eliminated.”

Short Answer Questions:
1.The structures in the epigastric region share a common nerve supply. Can you name the specific cranial nerve that serves this region and the part of the nervous system to which it belongs?

2. In order to understand the disease in Mr. Volpe’s alimentary canal, one must know the layers that make up its walls. Design a chart that identifies the four basic layers of the alimentary canal, the tissues that make up each layer, and the general function of each layer.

3. Dr. Lorraine suspects a peptic ulcer. This is an inflammatory lesion in the stomach or duodenal mucosa, which may extend through all layers of the alimentary canal wall. Describe the basic histological (tissue) structure of the mucosa layer in the alimentary canal. Identify the unique features of the mucosa in the stomach and in the duodenum, and explain how this uniqueness determines the function of the stomach and the duodenum.

4. Mr. Volpe asks, “What do the bacteria have to do with the ulcer?” Dr. Lorraine tells him that the H. pylori increases stomach acid secretion and, at the same time, breaks down the lining of your stomach and duodenum. What is the source and normal function of acid in the stomach and what regulates its production

5. Why is Mr. Volpe’s dyspepsia relieved by food, and aggravated 2–4 hours after a meal?

1. THESIS STRUCTURE

Abstract page

Table of Contents

Chapters

1. Introduction

General introduction to the topic area. Leading to identifying some problem/shortcoming/R&D need that is relevant and will be discussed in the thesis. The two last paragraphs of the introduction are:

• “In this thesis a new… is proposed …” where you identify the things that is done in the thesis, why it is important and relevant (and to whom), how should it be solved, what parts of it are solved in this thesis and what is left for future work, how will the field be affected by the thesis (“in which way the world will be a better place after this thesis is written”)
• The rest of the thesis is organised as follows. “Give an outline of the thesis, explaining how the chapters of the thesis are relevant for the problem identified in the previous paragraph and how the chapters relate to each other. When you do it here, no-one will need to question it later when reading the thesis as you have already explicitly stated the necessity of each chapter.”

 

2. Background/ Literature/ Theory

Relevant findings from history, industry, state-of-of-the art. Theoretical background necessary to understand the rest of the thesis and the choices made in it. There can be more than one of these chapters if necessary; for example; one chapter dealing with background and literature and another one dealing with the details of some specific communication protocol that needs to be understood in order to understand the rest of the thesis.

3. Description of existing target system

Could be for example a firewall/IPS system, a microprocessor, an embedded system, a software suite, … Whatever is the platform on which you will build your own contribution.

4. Specification and design of something new based on 2 & 3 (for example, improving a part of the target system based in the theoretical analysis and analysis if shortcomings of existing system)
5. Implementation and verification of (a part of) the newly specified and designed “something”, analysis of results, discussion. This could also be simulation and analysis of simulation results.

 

6. Conclusion

Concluding remarks, discussion on the relevance of obtained results, are they generalisable beyond this thesis, what sort of future work is planned or could be done based on the work in this thesis

 

 

7. References

Properly formatted list of referred literation. Also, the university takes this seriously; be sure to be accurate when providing in-text citations (mandatory). Harvard Refencing format is to be used. Please note that originality check will be performed on the final work through Turnitin.

 

 

1. THESIS PLAN

To proceed, next you need to draft a thesis plan: The plan needs to be provided and discussed with you supervisor before proceeding with the main work. Please also be advised that each chapter needs to be presented to and accepted by the supervisor before moving to the next. This is to carefully monitor your progress and avoid episodes of ambiguity.

• Working title
• 5 lines of description: what is the problem, why it is relevant, how do you plan to solve it and test the solution, what are the expected outcome
• Draft table of contents (1-2 levels of subsection headings)

All this should fit to the about one A4 sheet.

Thesis length. Since this is a Master’s thesis, length between 50-70 would be accepted (excluding list of references- References are not counted as)
