J.B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls
The first task we did for Sheila was to improvise a scene of when she
went to the shop to buy a dress, and was laughed at by Eva, resulting
in Eva getting the sack for Sheila's complaints. This was done in a
naturalistic way, trying to be as realistic as possible. The second
task we did was to make up, in groups, five freeze frames showing the
event that had occurred in the shop. For example; 1) Mrs Birling and
Sheila entering the shop 2) Them being shown where the dresses are
kept by Eva 3) Sheila wearing the dress she's chosen, with everyone
looking concerned, apart from Eva who is laughing
4) Sheila and Mrs Birling shouting at Eva, and finally 5) The manager
of the shop sacking Eva. The third task we did was for two groups to
join up and while one group acted out the incident in the shop, as
they had at first, the other group acted out what their thoughts and
feelings would be doing and saying. This could be done at the same
time, as most groups chose to do, or as one group did, acted out
twice; once for what really happened, and then again with the only the
real feelings being shown, but with the same effect to what they would
have actually said. This was done as a non-naturalistic rehearsed
improvisation, including thought taps and tableaux. All of these tasks
helped me to understand Sheila's character better as in the play it
shows her as a caring and thoughtful person whereas in the tasks we
did she is shown to be jealous with an angry temper.
For Gerald, we got into groups of 5 and improvised the three key
scenes of Gerald and Daisy's relationship 1) Gerald rescuing Daisy
from Joe in the pub, 2) Gerald giving Daisy his friend's flat for the
summer, and 3) Gerald dumping Daisy as the summer nears to its end.

Anti-Semitism is the hatred and discrimination of those with a Jewish heritage. It is generally connected to the Holocaust, but the book by Helmut Walser Smith, The Butcher’s Tale shows the rise of anti-Semitism from a grassroots effect. Smith uses newspapers, court orders, and written accounts to write the history and growth of anti-Semitism in a small German town. The book focuses on how anti-Semitism was spread by fear mongering, the conflict between classes, and also the role of the government.

The government of the United States of America is very unique. While many Americans complain about high taxes and Big Brother keeping too close an eye, the truth is that American government, compared to most foreign democracies, is very limited in power and scope. One area American government differs greatly from others is its scope of public policy. Americans desire limited public policy, a result of several components of American ideology, the most important being our desire for individuality and equal opportunity for all citizens. There are many possible explanations for the reason Americans think this way, including the personality of the immigrants who fled here, our physical isolation from other countries, and the diversity of the American population.
One of the key assignments that I think has allowed me to develop the most during this module is the assessment centre. During this task for Enterprise Rent-A-Car, we were put into groups and given a specific budget of money that we could donate to a panel of charities, based on the company 's values. What I wanted to achieve was to get an insight into what the environment is like and the sort of exercises that take place so that I can become familiar with the process, and I can use it to my advantage. Going to the assessment centre, I was slightly nervous as I had never taken part in one before and for the fact that I was being marked on my performance, so I was unsure of what to expect, which made me feel uncomfortable. However, during the exercise, I became more comfortable as I got into the task and though that I made a valuable contribution to the group. I made a conscious effort to be confident in challenging the
