The Return by Sonia Levitin is a novel showing how difficult life is for Ethiopian Jews traveling to Israel. They face many hardships on their way, and there are many obstacles in their path. Many themes are depicted in this novel. Three meaningful topics that can be discussed are maturing and finding one’s own identity, prejudice and its effect, and cultural/family pressures. One of the themes that The Return illustrates is maturing and finding one’s own identity. An example of this theme is in
Ahmadi PHIL 1500 May 10, 2014 The Return The Return’s primary message can be understood through the divergence of the film’s initial scenes with the ambiguous and enigmatic ending that left me riddled with interior question. At first glance, the film seems to fit into the category of a psychological thriller, but as the film progresses, it becomes apparent that it acts as a metaphor for man’s inherent need for a means of self-definition. Furthermore, the Return was a breath of fresh air in that it
Solomon's The Return of the Screw Mrs. Grose, playing cleverly on the governess' visions, convinces her she is seeing Peter Quint and Ms. Jessel in an effort to drive her mad. At least, that is according to Eric Solomon's "The Return of the Screw." Mrs. Grose tries to remove the governess to get to Flora. Mrs. Grose will do anything to gain control of Flora, as she proved when she murdered Peter Quint. He, along with Ms. Jessel, was too much of an influence on the children. Quint
The Return of Depression Economics From the many economy-related books available I read The Return of Depression Economics by Paul Krugman. This book was written during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990’s. Many say that Krugman wrote this book much too quickly to be fully correct on every issue that he wrote about in this book. Krugman mainly focuses on financial crises of the 1990’s and mostly on the Asian financial crisis. This book was very interesting to read even though I did not
Return To Babylon - Analysis "He would come back some day; they couldn’t make him pay forever. But he wanted his child, and nothing was much good now, beside that fact. He wasn’t young any more, with a lot of nice thoughts and dreams to have by himself. He was absolutely sure Helen wouldn’t have wanted him to be so alone." The final paragraph in the story shows how much Charlie loved his daughter, and how much he needs her to complete his life. In "Babylon Revisited" Charlie was treated unfairly
Japanese: The Law of Inverse Returns Scott Barlow December 6, 1996 Shoji Azuma Japan 355 - 1 The law of inverse returns states that the better the foreign learner's Japanese is, the worse the reaction of the Japanese native population will be to the learner's use of Japanese. In this paper, I argue that the better the learner's Japanese is, the better the treatment to the learner of Japanese from native Japanese. I will argue this point by making three statements and then provide opinions and reactions
Othello's Fainting as a Point of No Return In Act IV, Scene 1 of Shakespeare’s Othello, Othello faints when confronted with the possibility that his wife has been unfaithful. Through the past few scenes, Iago, exploiting Othello’s concerns about his race, has performed a delicate act, slowly but surely leading him towards the inevitable conclusion that his wife and Cassio have ‘cuckolded’ him. When Iago finally refers explicitly to Desdemona’s sexual betrayal, Othello can bear it no longer and
Although it is a children's book, Ursula Le Guin's short story "Catwings Return" is a perfect example of the Fantastical genre. Published in 1989, "Catwings Return" has some elements similar to those found in Magical Realism, but the story mostly has elements of Fantasy in it. By examining the American story "Catwings Return," a reader will be able to see the similarities and differences between Magical Realism and Fantasy. In order to have some characteristics similar to those in Magical
Return on Investment Analysis Profit Every business must devise a means to make and measure the profit from an investment. Profit reflects the very nature of business. Businesses that provide a product or service want to know if their efforts in a particular field will result in financial gain (Wiens 1997).

The Return Essay Seiji Shaw In Andrey Zvyagintsev’s The Return, a father, who has been gone for twelve years, suddenly returns to his family. He decides to take his own two children, Ivan and Andrei, on a fishing trip, and on the way, disciplines them in many lessons of life. These lessons range from principles of responsibility to surviving in the wild.

The Problem of Magwitch's return in Great Expectations It would be fair to say that Australia's role in Great Expectations is fairly minimal. It simply functions as a plot device; a place to deposit Magwitch when he is no longer required and a place for him to return from when needed again to further the plot. With the rise in postcolonial studies, however, Australia and Magwitch's experiences there have become the focal points for new readings of the novel. Thus it is through a postcolonial
require a rate of return compared to the risk they take. This required rate of return is paid to capital suppliers. The suppliers of equity capital have a higher required rate of return because equity investors are paid after lenders (Gallagher, p. 238). The required rate of return is an after tax amount. Risk and return is a hard to understand relationship at times, but managers must know and address these concerns. There is a methodical process in determining the required return. Management must
The Use of Folklore in Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native Folklore is the study of culture, customs and beliefs based on the tradition of a society. In Victorian England an interest in folklore emerged with the official creation of The Folk-Lore Society, which published a journal and held meetings and lectures regularly. Although Thomas Hardy included folklore in his writing, there is no evidence of his affiliation with this society. Thomas Hardy's preoccupation with folklore came from
4.1 Return on investment is the amount of profit expected from an investment. For example, I invested $194 on a pair of limited edition sneakers knowing that there would be a demand for them in the aftermarket. I listed them for $350 and sold them for $300. The return on my investment was $106. This is what is meant by a return on investment. Income comes in forms of dividends from stocks, mutual funds, or interest received on bonds. Income for an investment is the money that investor receive periodically
Law of diminishing returns When increasing amounts of one factor of production are employed in production by fixing some other production factor, after some level, the resulting increases in output of product become lower and lower. That is, first the marginal returns to consecutive little will increase within the variable issue of production turn down, then eventually the general average returns per unit of the variable input begin decreasing.

how customers use a variety of factors such as pre-purchase factors and post-purchase factors to judge the quality of a website involved in e-commerce activity (Collier and Bienstock, 2006). Product return is a widespread and expensive problem among the whole world. In the online context, product returns are important metric and critical component to online retailers (Yalabik et al., 2005, De et al. 2013, Hong and Pavlou 2014), as they indicate problems in web site content, customer service, consumers’
permit one to maximize their return on an investment of $150,000 in cash, “whether it’s in terms of financial profit or personal satisfaction…or both.” Such a broad charge makes it possible for me, and indeed anyone else interested in contemplating such arrangements, to develop novel program guidelines for differing goals. So I will do just that. I will propose, for the purposes of this assignment, two programs designed to maximize my own personal financial return as well as another specifically
