Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

1. What are the profit-maximizing price and output levels? Explain them and calculate algebraically for equilibrium P (price) and Q (output). Then, plot the MC (marginal cost), D (demand), and MR (marginal revenue) curves graphically and illustrate the equilibrium point.
2. How much economic profit do you expect that Robert’s company will make in the first year?
3. Do you expect this economic profit level to continue in subsequent years? Why or why not?

Take some time to think about the ways in which your learning in this class relates to the real world.

Guided Response:
Review the popular news websites listed in the Current Events required readings section for this week. In 300 words or more, discuss one current event article and explain how economic theory can be applied to analyze the information presented. Make sure to provide an APA reference to your article.

The Maltese Falcon centers on detective Sam Spade, a character almost as elusive as the falcon itself. What aspects of his personality remain mysterious?

 

2Why does Sam Spade take the case, even though he suspects that “Miss Wonderly” is lying?

 

3What kind of vision does The Maltese Falcon present of urban America? How important is San Francisco as the novel’s setting?

 

4Is Sam Spade a hero? How would you describe his personal moral code in a violent world?

 

5What do the novel’s three women—Brigid O’Shaughnessy, Effie Perine, and Iva Archer—have in common? How different are their personalities and motivations?

 

6In the 1930s and ’40s mostly male writers adapted the femme fatale-a foxy, dangerous woman-to crime stories. How might a woman have written Brigid differently?

 

7What motivates Sam Spade to find the falcon? Is he tempted by money or Brigid, or does he merely love the chase?

 

8Does any character change or grow in The Maltese Falcon?

 

9Are Sam Spade’s actions in the novel’s final scene consistent with his character? What would you have done in his place?

 

 

10Although the reader is never privy to the thoughts of Hammett’s characters, what might the falcon symbolize to each of them based on their actions?

• What is the significance of the second great commandment? (1 ½–2 pages)

In this section of the paper, you are presenting your interpretation of the significance of the verses and passages from the gospels identified in the first section of the paper. At least 2 recent academic theological resources other than our course texts and the Bible must be consulted: incorporate the insights of others. You must be making a case: what do the verses you have identified in section one have in common? Why are they important? How do your observations align with those

 

• he American novelist, John Irving, says said about his work The World According to Garp, that it is “a life-redeeming work in which everybody dies. Comment on the extent to which the same might be said of Hamlet.
• Locate a copy of Tragedy and Philosophy by Walter Kaufmann. Read the relevant sections of the text (Chapter 9) and decide which of the philosopher’s views comes closest to your own regardingHamlet.
• One of the inevitable and time-honoured questions asked about Hamlet focuses on the question of his insanity, whether he has put on an “antic disposition” or whether he is truly insane. Discuss whether you believe Hamlet is putting on an “antic disposition” or whether you believe he is truly insane. Consider the following questions in preparing your response, but do not answer them specifically.
  1. What is sanity or insanity?
  2. How people know whether they are sane or insane?
  3. If an individual lives entirely on his or her own, how can that person determine whether she or he is insane or sane?
  4. Does one have to be insane to take another person’s life? To commit murder?
  5. Is Hamlet sane or insane during this act of the play?
• While many have discussed Shakespeare’s work in Freudian analyses, C.G. Jung, one of Freud’s younger colleagues also interests many readers. Click on the link below, which contains an essay by Dr. C. George Boeree on Jungian personality theory. Read the short sections, “Introversion” and “Extraversion” and “The Functions.” The second link, “The Personality Theory of Carl Jung,” provides similar information in a different format. Read the articles, then decide and argue (in proper essay format) how Jung’s theories might be applied to three major characters in the play.

 

2. Painters and print-makers have tried to capture scenes from Hamlet on canvas and paper for the last two centuries. Examine three or more paintings or prints that are based on the play, and decide how successfully the artists portray the events, ideas, and characterization contained within the scenes. Students who choose to answer this question should consider composition, color, contrast, symbolism, and other techniques that the artists use in their depictions. If a print is in black and white, what is the effect of this rendering?  Remember to include the images you are discussing in your answers. Some background in fine arts will be helpful to you in answering this question.  You will find suitable images at this link:

• Shakespeare Illustrated

3. Compare two film versions of act 4 in Hamlet by examining the Mel Gibson and Kenneth Branagh. Decide which production is more successful by discussing such topics casting, editing [which scenes are edited in or out] and time setting as well as other concepts that you feel are worth analyzing. Use the interactive Venn diagram below if you need support planning your response:

• Venn Diagram Planning Sheet

4. Pick out Hamlet’s soliloquies throughout the play. Is there a pattern in what Hamlet says about himself and his dilemma? Support your interpretation using the text.

1. FIND A CHOMSKY ARTICLE: Browse Noam Chomsky’s web site and find an article or a video on a subject that interests you. Choose a topic with strong political implications (as most of them will be), and choose something that is current, topical and ongoing.

• Chomsky.info Articles

2. EXPLORE MAJOR MEDIA COVERAGE: Go to web sites hosted by major online media outlets (such as Al Jazeera, Fox, NBS, BBC, CBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc.) and search your topic. Choose at least four different articles to analyze. Save the links.
3. EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA COVERAGE: Research your topic on other alternative and independent media sites such as human rights watch (hrw.org). (Find at least one article.)
4. EXPLORE INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE: Research international media from both sides of the issue or conflict.

Before you start writing, your teacher will give you feedback on the sources you have chosen to make sure you are on the right path.

	Write a one paragraph description of why you chose the topic. You may wish to summarize the Chomsky article and state why the article caught your interest.
	Next, post links to the articles and videos you have chosen to use in your research. Your teacher will let you know whether or not you have chosen credible sources.
	Finally, post any questions you have about this assignment. This is your chance to clarify the instructions. Read the assignment description on the next page for the complete assignment instructions.

In the introduction, provide a brief history of the issue you are investigating, and state the purpose of your inquiry.
	Write a brief summary of each of the articles, videos or audio clips you chose starting with the article from Chomsky’s site. Keep each summary to 150 words maximum.
	Discuss how each media outlet angles the story in its own distinctive way. Consider intended audience and purpose. How is the political bias of the media outlet revealed in its presentation?
	Look at aspects such as the language reporters use, the use and nature of visuals (pictures), the length of the article released for publication, the choice of interviewees, the location of the item on the web site, and any other aspects of the coverage that illustrate how that network “angles” the story in a particular way.
	Compare and contrast.
	In the last section of your paper, discuss McLuhan’s ideas of globalization and retribalization. In light of your media inquiry, how do you (or do you not) see McLuhan’s ideas applying?

Length: 4-6 pages, double-spaced (it can be longer if you choose to include images, etc.) Include links to the stories/clips/articles in your essay.
