At the conclusion of the first quarter, the writing program continues one to two days per cycle throughout the year.
Topics to Cover:
Sentences: sentence structure, sentence combining, sentence errors, writing clear sentences (Holt 426)
Paragraph structure: provide information on powerful paragraph writing including unity in paragraphs, strong topic sentences, and effective and appropriate detail
Grammar and Usage – Parts of speech (Holt 2), agreement (subject-verb) (Holt 104), using pronouns correctly (Holt 104), common errors in usage and mechanics (Holt 260, 426)
Types of Writing: distinguish among the following types of writing: expository, persuasive, descriptive, and narrative
Expository writing: gives information about or an explanation of difficult material. Expository writing deals with “facts, ideas, beliefs”; it “explains, analyzes, defines, compares, illustrates.” “Its movement is signaled by connectives like therefore, however, and so, besides, but, not only, more important, in fact, for example” (Kane 67). Student papers that analyze literature are expository in nature, however, excellent student analysis papers will argue a particular perspective on the literature and thus include elements of persuasive writing.
Suggested examples of expository writing:
“Deep Desires That Transcend Time” – Alyssa Ensminger (from the Roane State Community College Writing Lab, winning essay for literary analysis)
HYPERLINK “http://www.rscc.cc.tn.us/owl&writingcenter/OWL/Deep.html” http://www.rscc.cc.tn.us/owl&writingcenter/OWL/Deep.html
Persuasive writing: “writing that seeks to alter how readers think or believe” (Kane 6). There are three main kinds of persuasive writing: argument, satire, eloquence. In the freshmen curriculum, we will cover the basics of argument to convince, a type of argument useful in papers about literature or history.
Suggested examples of persuasive writing:
“A Celebration of Grandfathers” – Rudolfo A. Anaya (Prentice 662)
This piece demonstrates elements of narrative, reflective and persuasive writing.
“On Summer” – Lorraine Hansberry (Prentice 656)
Descriptive writing: provides detail on visual perceptions.
Suggested examples of descriptive writing:
“The Death of the Moth” – Virginia Woolf
HYPERLINK “http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91d/chap2.html” http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91d/chap2.html
“Single Room, Earth View” – Sally Ride (Prentice 636)
Narrative writing: tells a sequence of events often to reveal the writer’s own personality or suggest meaningful conclusions about life. Narrative writing is most often characterized by first person point of view.
Suggested examples of narrative writing:
“Salvation” – Langston Hughes
HYPERLINK “http://www.courses.vcu.edu/ENG200-dwc/hughes.htm” http://www.courses.vcu.edu/ENG200-dwc/hughes.htm

“The Chase” – Annie Dillard (in 40 Model Essays)
Reflective writing: “shares the writer’s inner thoughts and feelings” (Prentice 631)
Suggested writing samples:

This piece demonstrates elements of narrative, reflective and persuasive writing.

Peer editing can be a useful tool in examining student writing. A helpful guide is located on the Writer’s Web. HYPERLINK “http://writing2.richmond.edu/writing/wweb/peeredit.html” http://writing2.richmond.edu/writing/wweb/peeredit.html
Additional Suggestions and Materials
Conferences – Build into your writing program time to meet individually with students to discuss the piece they are working on. In a successful process approach to writing, one on one conferences with students who are working on a piece of writing are valuable because they promote ownership in the student, help to clarify thoughts, and provide opportunity for the teacher to reiterate and clarify points on powerful writing.
Recitations – Required memorization of passages of excellent writing is invaluable in helping students to learn to write well. Examples of passages for recitation may include sonnets by Shakespeare, any poetry, famous speeches.
College Board Website: Pre-AP Section, English – This is an excellent resource for articles on teaching critical skills necessary for the first years of high school. Relevant titles are listed below; many others are available on the website.

Sula is a novel which not only talks about friendship and the role friendship

Discussion 1; Thesis
Sula is a novel which not only talks about friendship and the role friendship plays in the formation of character but also talks about other significant factors in the society. These include; the role families play in our lives among other themes and topics. Therefore Morrison invites us to look beyond the surface meaning of the novel for a better understanding of what the novel means so that we may be able to apply it to our daily lives and better our lives.
Discussion 2; Theme and story
In the novel Sula, Morrison talks of how friendship is important in character formation. This is clearly seen and displayed in the character of Nel and Sula as they grow with each other very close due to their friendship. Through the novel we are able to identify with both characters who are friends because they go through experiences and issues which people go through in their daily lives. They go through family disintegration, conflicts, excessive perfection, sexual pervasiveness, racism and they also experience male chauvinism. These experiences form who they become and how they behave in their day to day life with the outside world.
These two to some extent can be said to close doors to others and it seems like they find a joy in staying by themselves. This is an issue which most teenagers of today are facing and therefore Morrison helps us understand that it is possible for teenagers to keep to themselves and never talk about the issues they go through. This at times leads to devastating conditions and especially if it is a teenager who stays alone and does not want to open up to the world. This may lead to issues of suicide and other negative impacts like depression. The only thing that prevents this from happening is the friendship between the two girls and this is also a lesson about the value of friendship.
Mary and Susan
Susan was walking along the street where her best friend had been murdered. She could not control her anger for her murderer but unfortunately she did not know who it was. The only thing she could do was cry helplessly as she tried to comfort herself that the worst had not happened even though she knew very well losing her best friend hurt her so much. She felt like an arrow in her heart every time she remembered how they spent time together. As she wiped her tears and decided to accept the truth that it was more than three weeks and she could not continue crying and she had to let go, a stranger came along the victoria street. She looked dull and was angry. She was wearing like a rich kid but all that never reflected in her face expressions. She looked tired of living.
For once Susan forgot her grief and asked Mary in a soft low voice “hey! Are you okay?” she continued walking and Susan couldn’t withstand the thought that she could be going to commit suicide and therefore she followed her and kept trying to talk to her. At one point the Mary stopped and opened her t-shirt and right above her right breast there was a very bad scar, which was still healing. She began sobbing and explaining how her own brother in law tried to rape her for the second time.
She told her of how the first time it was painful to lose her virginity in rape. This she explained in tears and for Susan it was completely unbearable to listen to let alone thinking of such a thing happening. It was traumatic to think that such a thing could happen. The scar had been caused by the brother in law who tried to seduce her and it did not work, then after sometime when the other family members were not around he raped her after hurting her so badly just above the breast in a fight to access her most treasured part of her body.
At this point even though Susan was having her on grief she gave up her own problems and walk with Mary because she needed it most. This was the beginning of their friendship. From this day they became friends and even found themselves going to the same school after a year.
Even though their families were totally different they remained so close and never parted. Mary was a black lady and Susan was also black. Their friendship was so strong to the point Susan even got jealous that Mary had got a boyfriend and she decided that he will be their boyfriend and not Susan’s only. Even though mark was completely confused he later came to accept it that he could have sex with both and Mary was not offended. Even though this looked weird at first after sometime it became the norm and they lived by it.
The relationship made mark become a part of the group and shared a lot with the two even though his bond could never be the same as that of the both ladies. One day as they were going home from school Mary asked Susan; “why do I always feel like am at home with you?” Susan replied, “because it is true that you are home every time we are together, friends are the real home where we belong, after all our homes can never go with us every place we want to go. We are both black ladies and no one cares about us therefore we have to care about each other, build ourselves and come out strongly defying the norms which govern the society about ladies and about the blacks.” She said this with so much passion and anger that Mary just hugged her to ease the anger. She was angry that the world only saw them as insufficient.
At home even though Susan was close to her mother and her brother no one of them equaled Mary and she always wanted to spent time with her. Even though sometimes they did things they considered evil like they cheated a guy who wanted to date Mary that if he sent them money she would date him and once the money was sent they blocked him and used the money they still remained the same.
On the other hand Mary’s family loved but the mother was a perfectionist and was extremely orderly which Mary hated. She could arrange the house in such a manner that when they came home from school they did not feel comfortable touching anything because their mum would be mad at them for destroying what she had arranged so neatly. They also felt being too perfect is not the norm about life. Therefore their mother was irritating with her perfectionism, which she taught to her daughter. Susan always wanted to come to Mary’s place after they relocated after a year from the time the two girls met and this she always wanted because she always wanted to see the “perfect mum” as she used to call her. It was one of her favorite moments to visit Mary’s place since she always admired her and always wanted to be like her one day.
Mary never wanted that and she wanted to spent time at Susan’s place where the mother was not so perfect and this made her feel comfortable.
After the summer holidays after two years since the girls met mark met the two of them and he decided to open up about an issue he had been dealing with. Even though he was an activist for blacks live matter movement he never felt the belonging since he was half white and half black. His color mixture made him at times he seen as a white which he really hated. He explained to them how he was thinking of plastic surgery to be completely black since that is what he wanted. This came up after he was in a group of black boys and they excluded him because he seemed white. This hurt him so much and he decided that he must look like them.
These girls listened carefully and the only thing that Mary could say was, “you’re so sweet btw, your voice and your everything. You are perfect as you are”. The bell rang for class and they decided to continue sharing later that day. Because Mary hated her mother’s perfection they decided to meet at Susan’s place. They continued sharing and that was the night of the greatest revelations. Even though mark was a quiet person that night he was very loud and lively a thing which amazed the two ladies. Mary told of the way she wanted to commit suicide while Susan told of the loss she suffered of her then best friend before she found Mary.
The revelation about mark was what shook the two girls the most. That he had been struggling to stop being bisexual as he wanted to focus her attention on one gender and he liked ladies more. Even though he told them he had a gay friend he had to confess that he liked the two more and that the frequent sex had helped him adapt very easily into ladies.
After this they wanted to have sex and as they were removing their clothes Susan’s mother opened the door wide open without knocking. Works cited

In addition, the business also offers transportation rental services to company on transit among other multicarriege transport business on hire or rental basis.
1.3. The Target CustomersFreight Car Rental business will be concerned with servicing only corporate and individual clients of Dubai. For these market segments, we have agreed on endorsements placing us on position to services them. The profitability in these tree markets are expected to excel, bearing in mind that he promise draws thousands of tourists every year.
The company target market will consist of mid –sized, independent and agent members of forwarders located in the top major metropolitan areas that grows aggressively and in a controlled manner. Agents will routinely handle shipment of 60-plusdollars at an average of 40% or better gross profit. It will excel on handling expedited and critical freight movements providing unique services, committed to their customers. It will exercise its values in the market place to value trust integrity and personal involvement for heir success. It will have operations, market and cash flow considerations that will be enhanced by aligning themselves with other competitors.
1.4. Financial considerationsTo start, it needs assets i.e. expenses and cash needed to support the running of the business until revenues reach an expected limit. Company liabilities n most cases come from bank loans from bank of commercial investment and already we have obtained private investors. The company expects to reach profitability in one and half years and does not face any serious cash flow problems. We expect about 4500 per units per month will produce a break-even point. Initial capital required includes an expense and the money required to aid the business until it is in a position to collect revenues enough to sustain its operations. However, the company liabilities will come from renting services, taxation, labor, compliance with the law. Credit facility will be obtained in the form of a short term and a long term loans. The short term loan is meant to take care of the labor whereas the long term loan can take care of advertising cost, the rent and the taxation on the business.The business is expected to realize profitability in about two years. With the loans and personal investment the business is not expected to endure constraints in the cash being injected into the business. The profits to be realized per month will be infinite as it is yet to be established how many clients can be reached in a particular duration of time.1.5. SWOT ANALYSIS1.5.1. StrengthsFreight Car Rental business Company can enjoy government support as the government is at a better position to create an enabling environment for trade. Secondly, with enough credit facility Freight Car Rental business Company is at a capable position to enjoy market control as few firms offer a wide range of services as Freight Car Rental business Company will offer. Thirdly the educated work force is a benefit to Freight Car Rental business Company as the good extent of the population is computer literate. Fourthly, in the import and export business profits or rather revenue is sure to achieve. Fifth, the business is able to expand to cover a wider geographical region and cover other cities such as Sydney due to the unique range of services such as mobile offices.1.5.2. WeaknessesThe initial capital required to start up this business is quite high as it require a large labor force, a lot of cash for its operations, rent and taxation fees. When the initial capital is not adequate then the business is bound to fail. Another weakness is the high cost of operation. Whenever a business employs mobile offices it can reach many people at the expense of a high cost of maintaining and running the offices.1.5.3. OpportunitiesThe capital of UAE is located within an agricultural area and a commercialized center. Dubai also houses as many as 3900 tourism based businesses. These are good for business as there is a market ready for import and export trade and the raw materials are also available.
1.5.4. ThreatsThreats mainly arise from competition from existing import export businesses and availability of a large capital base to maintain and start up the business.
1.6. Human resource planFreight Car Rental business Company will be a business founded on the basis of offering better services than the existing import export business and also to expand. To create this it is essential to have competent sales personnel, accountants, and security and transport personnel.The sales personnel will be entrusted with the duty to advertise the business and reach as many clients. The accountants will have the duty to keep inventories and maintain records.The security and transport personnel will have the duty to delivery and to pick import or export goods.The employment of staff will be made on the basis of qualifications and competence.

The payment of such employment will be made through the human resource manager who heads the labor force and answerable to the sole proprietor. These rules must be adhered to regardless of anything else.Chapter 2 INTRODUCTIONDespite the nature of your business, the agency of Best Car Hire is there to take care of all you care needs and demands.
