¶ … Kit by Valerie Tripp
The book "Meet Kit: An American Girl" by Valerie Tripp takes place in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the Great Depression. Even though "Meet Kit" is a fiction book, the 69-page story is about many of the real things that happened to Americans during the 1930's. Kit's real name is Margaret Kittredge but she likes to be called Kit instead because she is a tomboy. When her sister Ruthie decides to read a book called "The Lilac Fairy," Kit chooses to read "The Adventures of Robin Hood and his Merry Men" and she types an article about it on her typewriter. One of Kit's hobbies is typing up a newspaper on her typewriter for her father to read and she hopes for a major change to happen so she can write a great headline. Ruthie disagrees though because usually when their parents read the real newspaper they get bad news about the Depression. Later when Kit's mother has friends come over...
Howard tells everyone that she and her son Stirling are moving to Chicago for a business opportunity. Kit soon figures out that they are only moving because Mr. Howard lost his job and the family can't afford to pay for their house any longer, before Ms. Kittredge offers to let Stirling stay in the guest room. This news makes Kit excited to have a new friend in the house but she soon discovers that Stirling has health problems and can't play games with her or Ruthie. Things change for the better though when Kit finds out that Stirling loves the Cincinnati Reds baseball team just as much as she does, and the two form a bond by talking about their favorite players.
Later in Chapter Three the Depression forces Kit's father to close his car dealership because people just can't afford to buy new cars anymore. Charlie explains the idea of bankruptcy to Kit and she learns…
Robin Hood We are all familiar with Robin Hood and his band of "merry men." Their creed to "rob the rich and give to the poor" was heroic and honorable during a time when the poor in England were being taxed beyond their means and suffering in squalor. Nevertheless, Robin Hood's infamy has created a series of problems for his band of 'bandits' as well as himself. "The increasing size of the
In many ways, one could argue that this film is about self-determination and equality. Would you recommend this film to someone attempting to understand the culture or event under consideration? Why or why not? Yes and no. The reason why both answers were selected is because the film can provide an accurate historical backdrop of events and issues that England was wrestling with in the 1200's. Where, many kings and aristocrats
Moving on to the means of generating revenue and controlling the inventory of goods and supplies, we should mention that the first step consists of rationing the supplies in the forest. Due to the increased number of Merrymen living within the Sherwood Forest, the supplies gathered are insufficient in liaison to their needs. We can consider the supply of products (the loot) as being roughly constant. An augmented demand confronted
Robin Hood's decision has become increasingly complex, as he now has a large number of stakeholders to consider. These include his men, the townsfolk and farmers, the barons, the prince, the sheriff and his most loyal followers. Each has a specific stake in Hood's decision. The most important stakeholder is himself, but beyond that Robin needs a vision for what he wants to be. This vision will help him clarify
The directors also take advantage of many different cinematographic techniques that change the pace and mood of the movie well. For example, close-up shots of Robin Hood and Maid Marian are interspersed with long shots of the castle. Michael Curtiz and William Keightley are especially effective during scenes like the royal banquet, the archery tournament, and especially the fight and chase scenes in which the overall visual effect is
Robin should first establish different departments to fulfill the varied needs of the organization in a systematic and efficient manner. In that regard, Robin should immediately appoint department heads in the following areas: shelter facilities, food storage and distribution, recruitment and hiring, training, and field operations. The head of shelter facilities must solve the problem of ensuring that employees in the field have safe accommodations in remote areas of operation.
