This paper should be between three and five pages in length. You should write a minimum of three pages, double-spaced in 12-point font with standard

margins. No title or title page is necessary. Just put your name, the class, and the date in the upper-right hand corner (this part should be single

spaced). If you consult outside sources make certain to provide attribution where appropriate and include an end bibliography correctly and

consistently formatted. The bibliography page does not count in the minimum page length requirement. Avoid use of overly conversational language. Avoid

overblown or excessively generally pronouncements, especially in your opening paragraph; because this is such a short paper, you should focus in on your

topic from the very first sentence. By the end of your first paragraph, your reader should have a clear idea of what your paper is about and how it will

be structured. You should write clear, concise sentences logically connected in well-organized paragraphs. Word choice, spelling, and clear sentence

structure are crucial. Proofread by reading your paper aloud. See below for grading criteria.

PAPER TWO TOPIC
REPRESENTING LGBTQ IDENTITY: CRITICAL REVIEW OF A TV SHOW/EPISODE OR FEATURE FILM.

For your second paper you will write a critical review of a TV show or movie that represents LGBTQ experience and identity. You should choose one of the

options listed below (if you want to write on a movie or show not listed below, you must get this approved by me via email no later than Sunday 29 May).

This brief list includes some recent titles and a few going back ten years; most are American, but a couple are French. Many of these were discussed and

in some cases included for viewing in the course modules; you are responsible for accessing programs or films not included in the course modules. If you

choose to write on a television show, it must be a show you have already watched in its entirety (all seasons, or at least nearly all) and with which

you are already very familiar; your review will mostly focus in on analysis of a single episode.

Pretend you’re writing for a good newspaper or magazine. You’re welcome to look up other published reviews, but remember that your review must focus on

the question of representing queer identity and so will be different from most more general reviews. You can structure this essay as you think best, but

it should do most of the following:

• describe: make sure you provide basic facts for your reader—who made it? when did it air/show? what is the basic premise? how was it received?

etc.
• analyze and critique: how is lesbian/gay/trans identity and experience represented? what sorts of assumptions are made? is the historical

context important? what is the filmmaker/producer/creator trying to do and does it work? why or why not? remember that in a review you don’t have to

just condemn or praise (thumbs up/thumbs down)—usually a little bit of both are necessary
• focus: on one scene or segment that you find particularly relevant to demonstrate your overall argument and describe clearly for your reader;

your description should include verbal and visual/filmic elements; the best papers will include concrete description of details to illustrate their

points
• relate: to class content, readings, lecture, discussion as relevant; you may also relate to personal experience if relevant or appropriate, but

this is not required

Grand Electricals Pty Ltd (hereafter referred to as ‘Grand’) enters into a contract with Cullum
Fluids Pty Ltd (hereafter referred to as ‘Cullum’) to purchase 10,000 litres of high-voltage
dielectric fluid”. The agreed price is $20 per litre. Dielectric fluid does not conduct electricity
and so is used in high voltage power stations to maintain electrical integrity by preventing
electrical discharges in capacitors and transformers. In order to be suitable for these stations, and
the huge machines and processes in those stations, it must be of a very high level of purity –
equivalent to 99.99% pure. Dielectric fluid of this purity usually sells for $20 – $25 per litre.
Under the terms of the contract, Grand is to arrange delivery of the goods by private carrier. Mr.
Bill McCullum, the sales manager for Cullum, telephones the manager of Grand, Mr. Mata
Fukusimo, to advise that the fluid is stored in 50 litre plastic containers and that the 10,000 litres
have been crated and await delivery.
When the truck arrives to pick up the goods as directed, the driver is denied entry to the
warehouse on the basis that no record of the arrangement has been made. As it turns out, Bill
McCallum has failed to follow proper procedures, so that the personnel at the warehouse have
not been advised that the carrier of Grand is due to pick up the goods. They sit in the warehouse
for two weeks while Bill and Mata exchange heated correspondence about who is to pay for the
delivery of the goods now. During this two week period, the goods are kept crated in the
warehouse, which has no temperature control system. As a result, the fluid is subjected to high
temperatures, which causes adulteration and oxidisation to the fluid. Because of this, the fluid is
no longer 99.99% pure. It is now suitable for use in smaller transformers and capacitors, but not
in high voltage systems.
In the meantime, Cullum enters into a contract to sell the fluid to Anchor Electricals Pty Ltd
(hereafter referred to as ‘Anchor’). Anchor purchases the fluid by description as ‘capacitor
dielectric fluid’. The contract price is $18 per litre. The goods are delivered to Anchor who
requires the goods for re-supplying to JAM Industries for use in their high-voltage power stations
in country Victoria.
When Anchor tests the goods, it realizes that the fluid has been adulterated. It refuses to pay
Cullum. Instead, they acquire the fluid from another company at a cost of $25 per litre. Anchor
on-sells the adulterated fluid to Morrison Electricals Pty Ltd for $2 per litre, which is the market
price for fluid of that quality for use in small-scale capacitors and transformers in industry.
In the meantime, Grand has found another source of supply of the fluid at a price of $23 per litre.
Cullum wants to sue Grand and Anchor for the breach of contract by rejecting the goods and by
failing to pay the contract price.
2
Advise Cullum on its prospects of success and any liability that it may have to either Grand
or Anchor.

Write an analytic response to a SHORT STORY from the textbook.

An analysis of a piece of literature focuses on the deeper meaning of it. Some people call this “reading between the lines.” Analysis includes identifying the tone, setting, purpose, figurative language, symbolism and theme of a piece of writing to grasp the underlying meaning. (These six literary terms are explained below.)

HOW TO WRITE YOUR 5 PARAGRAPH ESSAY

PARAGRAPH 1:To begin, you should have an introductory paragraph that states the STORY’s title, the author and provides a brief background on it. The last sentence in your first paragraph is your thesis statement and should tell your audience what the remainder of your essay is going to include. For example: This essay will examine (story’s title) by (author’s name) and how the author has used literary elements in creating this _______ story. (fill in blank with an adjective)

PARAGRAPHS 2,3,4:The body of your paper should be 3 paragraphs that focus on all or some of the six literary elements listed above. As you craft your body paragraphs, be sure to use direct quotes from the text to explain your examples.

PARAGRAPH 5:Your last paragraph should conclude by wrapping up your entire piece and restate what your essay is about. Finally, tell your reader what we should know after reading your analysis.

EXPLANATION OF LITERARY TERMS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT
Tone – The tone of a literary work is the writer’s attitude toward his or her audience and subject. The tone can often be described by a single adjective, such as formal or informal, serious or playful, bitter or ironic.
Setting – The setting is where and when the story takes place
Purpose – What was the author hoping to accomplish or communicate in writing this story?
Figurative language- Figurative language is writing or speech not meant to be interpreted literally. It is often used to create vivid impressions by setting up comparisons between dissimilar things. Common figures of speech are metaphors, similes, and personification.
Symbolism – A symbol is a character, place, thing or event that stands for something else, often an abstract idea.
Theme – A theme is a general message or insight into life revealed through a literary work. It is basically what the writing suggests about people or life.

Running the simulation involves the following steps:
•Review the Simulation Summary, Your Role, and How to Play sections under the Prepare tab.
•Go to the Analyze tab to run the simulation.
•Submit your weekly order in the Enter Order field; at least 20 rounds are necessary to get a good feel for the problems involved.
•When finished, review your performance under the Dashboard Overview, Inventory and Shipments, Orders and Backlog, and Cost Detail tabs.

It sounds easy, right? Try it and see how good you are at getting root beer to your customers while keeping your inventory and costs low.

See if you can control the bullwhip oscillations of stock-outs followed by over-supply.

To run the simulation several times, you will need log out and start again. The log out command is on the bottom left side of the page.

Spend a maximum of 30 minutes working with the game. Then think about it in conjunction with this module’s readings for perhaps another 15

-20 minutes.

address the following questions:
1.What did you do in the simulation? What activities did you engage in? What did you learn about what’s going on?
2.What have you learned about supply chain management from your participation in this simulation?

you will be personally experiencing the importance of supply chain management (SCM) through a simulation exercise. Your job is to fully

understand the components of SCM and how they are broken down into parts. SCM includes the customer as the input and output in the chain

through planning, purchasing, inventory, production, and transportation. SCM ensures that products and services are delivered efficiently

using IT and related applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), Oracle, and SAP. More specific applications include customer

relation analysis (CRA), material resource planning (MRP), and inbound and outbound logistic tracking systems, among others. These

applications integrate to the full value chain and interface with customers and suppliers via the Internet and mobile technology.

The challenge of SCM is coordination. Suppliers, manufacturers, sales people, and customers have their own, often incomplete, understanding

of what real demand is. Each group has control over only a part of the supply chain, but each group can influence the entire chain by

ordering too much or too little. Furthermore, each group is influenced by decisions that others are making. This lack of coordination

coupled with the ability to influence while being influenced by others leads to what Stanford’s Hau Lee refers to as the Bullwhip Effect.

Decisions made by groups along the supply chain may actually worsen shortages or overstocks. The bullwhip effect is illustrated by a story

Lee tells about how Volvo found itself with extra inventories of green cars. To get them off the dealers’ lots, Volvo’s sales department

offered special deals, so demand for green cars increased. Production, unaware of the promotion, saw the increase in sales and ramped up

production of green cars.

Coordination is not just about communication. Even in supply chains where communication is perfect, manufacturing and procurement delays

can wreak havoc. While customers are ordering, backlogs can build, and it is easy to confuse backlogged orders with increases in demand.
