Literary Modernism is often associated with a highly symbolic portrayal of human experience, including people’s thoughts and emotions, through the use of concrete, visual images. Analyze the symbolism contained in Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” in order to uncover the story’s possible thematic meaning(s). For instance, consider carefully images such as the setting between two rail lines; the dry, barren hills; the green fields of grain and trees; the suggestion of “white elephants” (something both precious and useless in some Eastern cultures); the images of alcohol, etc.

How do these visual symbols and images help a reader understand the man, the woman, and the nature of their conflict? Write a response to the question in a 500-750-word essay.

Raising academic Achievement Levels

You are a superintendent of a large urban district which is not meeting its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), and your school board has indicated that they will give you two years to turn the district around. They asked that you organize a committee to come up with district-wide policies and programs that will positively impact student academic achievement in the district, particularly in the elementary schools. For this discussion, identify three findings derived from research conveyed in Chapter 10 of your course text regarding student academic achievement that you believe best represent what should be the focus of your district in creating policies and structures to bolster and support high student academic achievement levels in the district. What policies and programs would you recommend be created and/or adopted to bolster achievement in your district? Provide examples, details, and refer to your course text to defend your position.

Reflect on your own personal, academic, and professional experiences with regard to academic achievement. What factors have influenced, enhanced, or impeded your academic success? Specifically cite any policies, or programs [e.g. NCLB, state proficiency tests, vocational programming, Title I, etc.] that had a significant impact on your academic career.

Assignment 1: Discussion—The Promises and Perils of Nuclear Power

The term nuclear power refers to the production of electrical energy via controlled nuclear reactions. These reactions generate heat that, in turn, creates steam that runs the generators to produce electricity. Approximately 1/8th of the electricity produced in the world is derived from nuclear power. In this assignment, you will analyze the use of nuclear power as an energy resource.

Respond to the following:

Discuss the scientific and technical concepts related to the use of nuclear power as an energy resource. Address the following in your response:
How is energy released in a nuclear reaction?
How are nuclear reactions controlled?
What elements are involved in nuclear power production?
What nuclear forces are involved?
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy, detailing issues related to production, delivery, cost, radiation, air quality, and waste.
Identify a country whose electricity production infrastructure relies heavily on nuclear power. Compare and contrast the use of nuclear power in the United States with the use of nuclear power in this country. Provide examples of the use of nuclear power in your community or state.
Consider the three major nuclear accidents in the history of the industry: 3-Mile Island (USA), Chernobyl (Ukraine), and Fukushima Dai-Ichi (Japan). What lessons have been learned from these nuclear accidents that can be or have been used to make nuclear power safer?
