Brazil is the largest country in South America and one of the most influential. The geography of Brazil is mostly flat to rolling lowlands in the northern areas along with plains, hills, mountains, and narrow coastal belt in the southern region (brazil.org.za, 2015). The area is rich in natural resources such as timber forests and mineral resources such as iron ore, diamonds, quartz and petroleum (Gigli, 2015). While Brazil’s economy has been commodity based in recent years technology investors have begun to establish business there a Brazil begins to invest more in technology and science (Lowman, 2014) .
This paper explores the characteristics of traditional and Roth IRAs, as well as the similarities and differences between both. The main characteristic of both IRAs is that both are considered tax shelters—a way for individuals to receive reduced tax liability by decreasing one’s taxable income. Traditional IRA’s are called “deductible” because contributions made with earned income, up to specified limits, are fully or partially deductible from income depending upon factors such as adjusted gross income and filing status. Upon withdrawal, the money is then taxed as ordinary income. Roth IRAs are the antithesis—the money that you contribute here is already taxed at your marginal tax rate and the withdrawals are generally not taxed. Only money that is considered investment income is taxed. Because of the income limits of Roth IRAs, some individuals choose first to contribute to traditional IRAs or employer-sponsored programs and subsequently convert to a Roth IRA. For younger individuals with lower incomes, Roth IRAs seem to be the better choice based on the below research. The money is taxed at a lower rate and then contributed. As one ages, tax rates are probable to rise and the cost of contributing increases as a result. Saving in full measure, below the legal limit and beginning this process at a young age seems the best option for a enjoyable retirement in years to come.
2. Identify the author’s main idea(s). In other words, what is the main point the author is attempting to make about the book?
The novel Deadly Unna? explores many themes; discuss which theme you feel is most strongly focussed upon. Use examples from the novel to support your argument.
In the great depression many people suffered from hunger and poverty can you imagine not being able to eat for days and days and not only that but imagine having to suffer from sands blowing away all your crops and destroying your home. That’s how it was back then, people suffered from hunger and sandstorms destroyed everything in their paths. John Steinbeck a very well know writer and the creator of “The Grapes of Wrath” is very well known for writing books during the great depression in which he liked to write about the poor, homeless and misfit people. Humility is very well described in the book “The Grapes of Wrath” because it tells about a man trying to take care of his children with the little money he has while also trying to get to California. In the story the man’s humility changes the waitress’s behavior because she feels sympathy towards the man even though she was being a stereotype at the beginning.
Well first one is the most obvious one. What did Mattie say to Mrs. Hale? This is a question that bothers me, I’m not usually overly curious, but what was so bad that Mrs. Hale can’t repeat it? This bothers me a bit more than it should. Another question I’d ask is why is there a deadly foreshadowing, but no one physically dies? I always preferred to be able to predict what happens, and do not appreciate a surprise plot twist. Why start the story with a narrator and end it with the same narrator? I’ll admit that this style shows the effects of Ethan’s choices, but why exactly an unnamed narrator? Where did Wharton get her inspiration for her characters? Simply a out of curiosity. With a single last question, why a
3) How does Brideau make her narrative “come alive”? Make a list of words she uses to describe the setting and the characters. How do they appeal to readers’ emotions?
Steinbeck's relationship to the transcendentalists [Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman] was pointed out soon after The Grapes of Wrath appeared by Frederick I. Carpenter, and as the thirties fade into history, Jim Casy with his idea of the holiness of all men and the unreality of sin seems less a product of his own narrowly doctrinaire age than a latter-day wanderer from the green village of Concord to the dry plains of the West.
Q1) Do you think that there is too much personal and too little about the story?
You have a solid discussion of Jack's transformation as well a good grasp of your language and grammar. Your introduction and your conclusion should be more detailed. In the introduction you should introduce the novel, itself, and introduce your topic. Why is a developing character important to the development of the novel? Your conclusion should discuss how the change in Jack's character has affected the rest of the group, how it has affected the plot, and perhaps, why Jack's character degenerated instead of improving.
Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath is a realistic novel that mimics life and offers social commentary too. It offers many windows on real life in midwest America in the 1930s. But it also offers a powerful social commentary, directly in the intercalary chapters and indirectly in the places and people it portrays. Typical of very many, the Joads are driven off the land by far away banks and set out on a journey to California to find a better life. However the journey breaks up the family, their dreams are not realized and their fortunes disappear. What promised to be the land of milk and honey turns to sour grapes. The hopes and dreams of a generation turned to wrath. Steinbeck opens up this catastrophe for public scrutiny.
2. Also when quoting you must always place in parentheses the name of the author and the page on which the quote can be found. This way your readers can look up the quotes for themselves.
Using quotes from the book would strengthen your paper. Quotes prove to the reader that you have a valid argument.
3. What are the arguments in favor of what your protagonist wants to do (how can they make the case for their side)? Again at least 4.
Possible mitigation: develop workers skills and development to maximise their chances of finding alternative sources of work. Also through public awareness campaigns, provision of family counselling and financial planning support to employed workers to encourage the income gained from employment to be used in a responsible manner.
