For the unit on the novella you read Franz Kafkas The Metamorphosis and wrote response journal entries for each chapter. Formal writing assignment 2 is a critical thinking and information literacy project that will now require you to locate literary criticism for the tale, analyze it and reflect upon how the criticism has informed your understanding of Kafkas story.

Requirements

Access Online Sources:

To begin, locate two (2) literary criticism essays from Gales Literature Resource Center Database. The two pieces you pick must represent a different approach to literary criticism.
Print the first page of each critical analysis. (These will later be attached to your final paper.)
Construct a Works Cited that identifies these sources.

Summarize, Analyze and Evaluate (at least 2 pages):

Briefly summarize each of the critical essays you have chosen. Be sure to discuss the main point(s) of each essay.
Make an argument that identifies which critical approach the essays author uses. (I am less concerned with whether or not you correctly assess the approach, and more concerned with how you prove your point.)
Answer the following question: Did the analyses of the two pieces overlap at all? If so, how? Cite the sources and provide specific examples.
Which critical approach did you find more interesting or meaningful? Why?

For your third major assignment you will write a literature review on a specific theory of your choice. ( I have chosen Expectancy Violations Theory) You must present a comprehensive discussion of the current body of research on this theory. For instance, if I see your last source is from 1998, I am going to know you are not up to date on the current research. Much like a book report describes a book or a biography describes a person\’s life, this paper should, above all, describe a theory. Once you\’ve described the theory, you\’ll then need to elaborate on how the theory works, how it has been tested, how it has been applied, what shortcomings have been identified, etc. This will require that you research several sources, which may include books, book chapters and scholarly journal articles. Finding primary research – reported results of original studies – is really important so that you can see how researchers have developed and tested the theory first-hand.Finding the literature (and limiting your search, if necessary)

Outline of the paper:
1.)Introduction/overview of the theory

2. Definitions of concepts — What are the main concepts and how have they been defined? This should include nominal definitions (working definitions used in research to date) and examples of operational definitions if possible (how the concepts actually have been measured). Again, cite primary research.
3. Relationships among concepts — How do the concepts defined above affect, mediate, or interact with one another? What other factors have come into play in the literature you have reviewed?
4. Critique — What are the limitations of the theory? What are proponents and critics concerned about? This likely will include issues of conceptualization, measurement, and general usefulness of the theory.

We frequently speak about health disparities as they relate to race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (broadly defined). However, disparities can occur with respect to many other factors. One of the group presentations mentioned some of these factors that receive less attention (e.g. rural v. urban populations). For your extra credit discussion question, please select a health topic where you have noticed or believe health disparities exist, OUTSIDE of the areas of race/ethnicity, income, education, and gender. Describe the nature of this disparity, and try to use an ecological model approach to explain the causes of this disparity. Remember that you should go beyond just describing the causes of the disease itself, and also describe the cause of the disparity between the groups you have identified.

Part A. The shoe department buyer at Feets has determined that Feets should buy 98,000 pairs of athletic shoes from their vendor, Adidke. The shoes are shipped and packed 10 pairs to a shipping box. Each shipping box has a value of $517. The buyer estimates that about $59 is spent on the ordering and sourcing decisions per shipping box. The annual percentage holding cost is 35%. Does that forecast pass the reasonability test? Include with your answer:

What is the optimal number of boxes to order each time an order is placed?
What is the total annual ordering cost?

Part B. The shoe department buyer at Feets must now choose between shipping vendors from the port of entry (Oakland, CA) to the warehouse in Sacramento, CA. There are two viable alternatives from two different vendors: 2-day freight and 5-day flat rate freight. The rates for 2-day freight are $13.562 per shipping box; and for 5-day freight, there is a flat $1,500 per order for any size order up to 123 boxes. The annual percentage holding cost is 35%.

Which alternative would you recommend, and why?
What is the total annual shipping cost?
