Bag of Bones CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

The murk returned and changed that Sunday night's nightfall into a thing of wanton magnificence. The sun turned red as it slid down toward the slopes and the dimness got the shine, transforming the western sky into a nosebleed. I sat out on the deck and watched it, attempting to do a crossword puzzle and not getting much of anywhere. At the point when the telephone rang, I dropped Tough Stuff on my composition as I went to answer it. I was worn out on taking a gander at the title of my book each time I passed. ‘Hello?' ‘What's going on up there?' John Storrow requested. He didn't try to state hello there. He didn't sound irate, however; he sounded completely siphoned. ‘I'm missing the entire goddam drama!' ‘I welcomed myself to lunch on Tuesday,' I said. ‘Hope you wouldn't fret.' ‘No, that is acceptable, more is always better.' He seemed as though he completely would not joke about this. ‘What a late spring, huh? What a late spring! Anything happen just recently? Quakes? Volcanoes? Mass suicides?' ‘No mass suicides, however the old person passed on,' I said. ‘Shit, the entire world knows Max Devore kicked it,' he said. ‘Surprise me, Mike! Daze me! Make me holler kid howdy!' ‘No, the other old person. Royce Merrill.' ‘I don't have the foggiest idea who you goodness, pause. The one with the gold stick who resembled a show from Jurassic Park?' ‘That's him.' ‘Bummer. In any case . . . ?' ‘Otherwise everything's leveled out,' I stated, at that point thought of the jumped out eyes of the feline clock and nearly chuckled. What halted me was a sort of guarantee that Mr. Affableness Man was only a demonstration John had truly called to ask what, on the off chance that anything, was going on among me and Mattie. Furthermore, what was I going to state? Nothing yet? One kiss, one moment blue-steel hard-on, the essential things apply as time passes by? Be that as it may, John had different things at the forefront of his thoughts. ‘Listen, Michael, I called in light of the fact that I have something to let you know. I think you'll be both entertained and stunned.' ‘A state we as a whole hunger for,' I said. ‘Lay it on me.' ‘Rogette Whitmore called, and . . . you didn't occur to give her my folks' number, did you? I'm back in New York now, yet she called me in Philly.' ‘I didn't have your folks' number. You didn't leave it on both of your machines.' ‘Oh, right.' No expression of remorse; he appeared to be too eager to even think about thinking of such mundanities. I started to feel energized myself, and I didn't have the foggiest idea what the heck was going on. ‘I offered it to Mattie. Do you think the Whitmore lady called Mattie to get it? Would Mattie offer it to her?' ‘I'm not certain that if Mattie happened upon Rogette blazing in an avenue, she'd piss on her to put her out.' ‘Vulgar, Michael, trs vulgarino.' But he was chuckling. ‘Maybe Whitmore got it a similar way Devore got yours.' ‘Probably so,' I said. ‘I don't know what'll occur in the months ahead, yet right currently I'm certain she's despite everything gain admittance to Max Devore's own control board. Also, on the off chance that anybody realizes how to press the catches on it, it's presumably her. Did she call from Palm Springs?' ‘Uh-huh. She said she'd recently completed a starter meeting with Devore's lawyers concerning the elderly person's will. As indicated by her, Grampa left Mattie Devore eighty million dollars.' I was struck quiet. I wasn't interested at this point, yet I was absolutely astonished. ‘Gets ya, don't it?' John said joyously. ‘You mean he left it to Kyra,' I said finally. ‘Left it in trust to Kyra.' ‘No, that is exactly what he didn't do. I asked Whitmore multiple times, yet by the third I was beginning to comprehend. There was strategy in his franticness. Not much, however a bit. There's a condition. On the off chance that he left the cash to the minor kid rather than to the mother, the condition would have no weight. It's entertaining when you consider that Mattie isn't long past minor status herself.' ‘Funny,' I concurred, and thought of her dress sliding between my hands and her smooth exposed midsection. I additionally thought of Bill Dean saying that men who went with young ladies that age consistently appeared to be identical, had their tongues run out regardless of whether their mouths were closed. ‘What string did he put on target?' ‘That Mattie stay on the TR for one year following Devore's demise until July 17, 1999. She can leave on day-trips, yet she must be tucked up in her TR-90 bed each night by nine o'clock, or probably the heritage is relinquish. Did you ever hear such a horse crap thing in your life? Outside of some old George Sanders film, that is?' ‘No,' I stated, and reviewed my visit to the Fryeburg Fair with Kyra. Indeed, even in death he's looking for care, I had thought, and obviously this was something very similar. He needed them here. Indeed, even in death he needed them on the TR. ‘It won't fly?' I inquired. ‘Of course it won't fly. Screwing screwball should have composed he'd give her eighty million dollars on the off chance that she utilized blue tampons for a year. Be that as it may, she'll get the eighty mil, good. My heart is determined to it. I've just conversed with three of our bequest folks, and . . . you don't figure I ought to carry one of them up with me on Tuesday, isn't that right? Will Stevenson'll be the go-to person in the bequest stage, if Mattie concurs.' He was everything except prattling. He hadn't had a thing to drink, I'd've wagered the homestead on it, yet he was out of this world on all the conceivable outcomes. We'd gotten to the joyfully ever-after piece of the fantasy, undoubtedly; Cinderella gets back home from the ball through a money downpour. ‘ . . . course Will's somewhat old,' John was stating, ‘about 300 or thereabouts, which implies he's not actually a pleasant person at a gathering, however . . . ‘ ‘Leave him home, why not?' I said. ‘There'll be a lot of time to cut up Devore's will later on. Also, in the short term, I don't believe Mattie will have any issue watching the horse crap condition. She just landed her position back, recall?' ‘Yeah, the white bison drops dead and the entire group disperses!' John gloried. ‘Look at em go! What's more, the new multimillionaire returns to recording books and mailing out late takes note! Alright, Tuesday we'll simply party.' ‘Good.' ‘Party until we vomit.' ‘Well . . . possibly us more established people will simply party until we're somewhat disgusted, would that be good?' ‘Sure. I've just called Romeo Bissonette, and he will bring George Kennedy, the private analyst who got all that funny poo on Durgin. Bissonette says Kennedy's a shout when he gets a beverage or two in him. I thought I'd bring a few steaks from Peter Luger's, did I disclose to you that?' ‘I don't trust you did.' ‘Best steaks on the planet. Michael, do you understand what's befallen that young lady? Eighty million dollars!' ‘She'll have the option to supplant Scoutie.' ‘Huh?' ‘Nothing. Will you come in tomorrow evening or on Tuesday?' ‘Tuesday morning around ten, into Castle County Airport. New England Air. Mike, would you say you are good? You sound odd.' ‘I'm okay. I'm the place I should be. I think.' ‘What's that expected to mean?' I had meandered out onto the deck. Out there thunder thundered. It was more sizzling than heck, not a breath of breeze mixing. The dusk was blurring to a pernicious radiance. The sky in the west resembled the white of a ragged looking eye. ‘I don't have the foggiest idea,' I stated, ‘but I have a thought the circumstance will explain itself. I'll meet you at the air terminal.' ‘Okay,' he stated, and afterward, in a quieted, practically respectful voice: ‘Eighty million mother loving American dollars.' ‘It's an entire lotta lettuce,' I concurred, and wished him a goodbye. I drank dark espresso and ate toast in the kitchen the following morning, viewing the TV meteorologist. Like such a significant number of them nowadays, he had a somewhat distraught look, as though each one of those Doppler radar pictures had driven him to the edge of something. I consider it the Millennial Video Game look. €˜we have another thirty-six hours of this soup to work through and afterward there will be a major change,' he was stating, and highlighted some dim filth hiding in the Midwest. Minuscule vivified lightning-jolts moved in it like deficient sparkplugs. Past the rubbish and the lightning-jolts, America looked get such a distance out to the desert nation, and the posted temperatures were fifteen degrees cooler. ‘We'll see temps in the mid-nineties today and can't search for much help this evening or tomorrow first thing. However, tomorrow around lunchtime these frontal tempests will arrive at western Maine, and I consider most you are going to need to keep refreshed on climate conditions. Before we return to cooler air and splendid clear skies on Wednesday, we're likely going to see brutal tempests, overwhelming precipitation, hail in certain areas. Tornados are uncommon in Maine, however a few towns in western and focal Maine could see them tomorrow. Back to you, Earl.' Duke, the morning news fellow, had the honest meaty look of an ongoing retiree from the Chippendales and read off the Teleprompter like one. ‘Wow,' he said. ‘That's a serious estimate, Vince. Tornados a chance.' ‘Wow,' I said. ‘Say wow once more, Earl. Do it until I'm fulfilled.' ‘Holy dairy animals,' Earl said just to demonstrate hatred for me, and the phone rang. I went to answer it, giving the waggy clock a look as I passed by. The night had hushed up no wailing, no shouting, no nighttime undertakings however the clock was troubling, nonetheless. It hung there On the divider eyeless and dead, similar to a message loaded with awful news. ‘Hello?' ‘Mr. Noonan?' I knew the voice, however for a second couldn't put it. It was on the grounds that she had called me Mr. Noonan. To Brenda Meserve I'd been Mike for very nearly fifteen years. ‘Mrs M.? Brenda? What ‘ ‘I can't work for you any longer,' she stated, all in a surge. ‘I'm sorry I can't give you appropriate notification I never halted work for anybody without pulling out, not even that old alcoholic Mr Croyden yet I need to. It would be ideal if you comprehend.' ‘Di

Eurasian Union And Its Perspective For Future Challenges - 550 Words

Analysis Of Eurasian Union And Its Perspective For Future And Challenges (Coursework Sample) Content: Comment Paper- Danilo HinicIn this comment I want analyze problematic and questionable issue of future of Eurasian Union. Through this text are examined history and basic trends in creation of customs union and common tariff system and trends in benefits. But question about further integration, future development and effectiveness of this organization remains unanswered and this text didnt seemed very optimistic about future in further development of ECU because text was written before latest trends which occurred in 2014. We can see that organization has economic character mainly. So problematic issue is about further integration and effectiveness of this union because Eurasian Union is still in process of transition and changes are ongoing and unclear future of emerging organizations always exists. If I literally ask a question Does Eurasian Union have promising future? 1) When we speak about concept of integration, integration trends, intentions to cooperate and potential for enlargement future seems positive. Integration of troika economies goes deeper because in May 2014 Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus agreed on establishing common market and Eurasian Economic Union which will enter into force in 2015. It is an important step which shows that integration continues on larger scale and that these 3 states want more decisively to integrate economies. There should be emphasized that also exists Eurasian Development Bank which means that there are supposed to be common economic projects and Eurasian Economic Commission which is supposed to represent interests of all 3 members. (Dreyer, 2014). This integration is driven by aims of Eurasian troika to create a block which can stand towards EU and make cooperation with EU on higher level and hoping that common free trade zone will bring more benefit than separate agreements with EU. In DW( 2014) magazine is stated that potential candidates can be Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. Therefore even exists poss ibility for future enlargement. Except this promising indicators and trends which potentially show prosperous future of new union there are also less promising indicators which are related to functioning of Eurasian Union in practice. 2) When it goes about effectiveness of functioning and applying rules of this union future seems much less positive because of economic and political barriers which exist. Many questions remain which are challenging survival of success of Eurasian Union. First one is about problem with doing businesses and since establishment of common internal duties they had difficulties in establishing trade beyond borders of union. Question remains if these 3 still developing economies can finance stand integration as they arent sufficiently economically strong and stable. Barriers in functioning of new union can be protectionist policies among these states and partially different foreign policies.As a conclusion I want to say that this union as a concept in tra nsition and a...

Why el agua instead of la agua

Both agua and à ¡guila, which mean water and eagle, respectively, are feminine nouns. Yet we say el agua and el à ¡guila, making exceptions to the rule that la is used with feminine nouns. The reason has to do with pronunciation — la agua would sound the same as lagua and might be confusing. But language is seldom logical, so dont try substituting el for la whenever a word that starts with a- follows. Learn more...

Collaborative Strategic Reading and Reciprocal Teaching Essay

In Elementary School, there are many children that tend not to pay attention when teachers are giving the reading lessons so teachers argue with them without figuring out the precise reasons for that behavior. As teachers, we need to develop the abilities to catch up when children have any kind of learning problems, in this case a reading disability. If the reading disability is not detected at an early time, many children would probably be affected for the rest of their lives as adults.

The program was completed in Washington State with 193 students in grades K through 12. This program emphasized phonemic awareness, decoding skills through segmenting, blending and sound manipulation, and alphabetic code knowledge. Phono-Graphix emphasized an explicit instruction model whereby the instructor initially modeled the desired skill, and then the instructor and students practiced together, follow by students practicing independently. This program consisted of 40 lessons and was delivered over an 8-week period, resulting in improvement for students in phonemic awareness as well as reading fluency in the grade K-4 elementary group. The upper elementary group (grades 5-12) indicated that not only did students’ fundamental phonemic awareness skills of blending and segmenting improve, but also their overall ski lls in comprehending printed materials increased (Endress Weston, 2007, p. 14-15).

Comparing Conrads Heart of Darkness and Coppolas...

Similarities in Conrads Heart of Darkness and Coppolas Apocalypse Now Sometimes, a work is so great that artists from other forms of expression are compelled to interpret that work in their own medium. Francis Ford Coppola took James Conrad’s classic novel Heart of Darkness and updated it to the time of the Vietnam War. James Conrad’s classic novella Heart of Darkness is a tale about a seaman who makes his way up the Congo river in search of a man and his ivory. In 1979, Francis Ford Coppola released Apocalypse Now, centered around an Army officer that has been ordered to assassinate an insane American officer. He, too, must travel upriver, but this time it is on the Mekong River in Vietnam. However different, both of these stories†¦show more content†¦He found out why later. Marlow asked a young man why he didn’t go out there in the jungle. The young man replied, I am not such a fool as I look (Conrad 15). The jungle abides by the rule of chaos – it is certainly no place for man. Marlow was cautioned to be very car eful in the jungle on his journey. During a physical exam, the Doctor advised Marlow to avoid irritation more than exposure to the sun because in the tropics one must keep everything calm (Conrad 15). On their way up the river, it had been decided it would be better to wait the night. The anchor had been dropped on the boat, and as the sun rose there was a white fog, very warm and clammy, and more blinding than the night (Conrad 41). From somewhere in the jungle, Marlow is described as saying: †¦ a very loud cry of infinite desolation soared slowly in the opaque air. It ceased. A complaining clamour, modulated in savage discords, filled our ears. The sheer unexpectedness of it made my hair stir under my cap (41). He continues, I don’t know how it struck the others, to me it seemed as though the mist had screamed, so suddenly and apparently from all sides at once did this tumultuous and mournful uproar arise (Conrad 41).

Application of Operant Conditioning Theory in the Classroom Samples

Question: Discuss about the Application of Operant Conditioning Theory in the Classroom. Answer: Introduction Teaching is a noble profession that plays a significant role in preparing the children to be useful people in the society. The preparation of children entails equipping them with the skills that can prepare them for their future careers that they will join after a successful completion of their training. Education can also provide the learners with useful moral and behavioral skills to use in the society. This is equally important because education does not only prepare the children for employment, but prepares them to acquire the qualities that they can rely on to fit into the society in which they belong. For the teachers to accomplish this task, they need to be adequately trained and provided with appropriate skills that they can use in teaching the learners. However, despite their training, teachers often find it challenging to handle the learners each of whom has unique background, characters, behaviors, weaknesses and strengths. Research has proven that teachers can apply vario us psychological approaches to adequately prepare their learners and bring the desired behavior change in them. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of B.F. Skinners Operant Conditioning Theory in the teaching of Grade 5 learners. The Range of Behaviors of Grade Five Learners When she joined the teaching profession, Mrs. Jane was expecting to accomplish her goals of enjoying her career by adequately preparing her learners for the life after school. However, this has become a mirage because, from the descriptions presented in the scenario, Mrs. Jane appears to be a troubled teacher. Just like any many of her colleagues, Mrs. Jane has not been enjoying her teaching practice to the fullest because she is worried about the learners they handle. The relationship between Mrs. Jane and her Grade 5 pupils has not been a cordial one. The learners have been uncooperative and undisciplined (Chandler Dahlquist, 2014). They neither respect the teacher nor abide by her instructions because they defy whatever she tells them to do. The experiences of Mrs. Jane clearly demonstrate exactly what the primary school teachers go through. The first problem experienced by primary school pupils is indiscipline. The learners at this stage of growth tend to be disrespectful (Black Fernando, 2014). The learners do not follow the directives given by their teachers because of the feeling that it is not necessary to do so. Besides, the learners tend to be defiant and do not care about the rules that are supposed to be followed while in school. It is for this reason that these learners do not follow anything instructed by the teachers. Although school has rules that guide the teaching and learning process, the learners do not care about them no matter how important it is in their lives (Carr, 2015). This is the same challenge that is faced by Mrs. Jane. Her learners do not actively participate in classroom and fail to do assignments and submit them for evaluation within the stipulated time. These misconducts have been affecti ng the teacher and learners in equal measure. They negatively impact on the learners by hindering them from accomplishing their educational goals. On the other hand, the teacher is affected because she feels demoralized and cannot achieve her full potential as a teacher. Application of Operant Conditioning Theory The challenges faced by Mrs. Jane can be addressed by applying the principles of the Operant Conditioning theory. Operant Conditioning is a theory that was developed in 1938 by B.F. Skinner after the publication of his book called the Behavior of Organisms. According to this theory, the behavior of an individual can be enhanced or reduced by the expected outcome. Skinner based his argument on the principles of reinforcement, law of effect and intentional actions. The theory states that the behavior of a person can be influenced by the reward or punishment which can be relied upon to positively or negatively influenced an individuals conduct. When a reward is used as reinforcement, the behavior of an individual can positively change (Beckett Taylor, 2016). Meaning, a person who expects a reward as an outcome will be encouraged to behave as expected. However, if a punishment is given, the person can be discouraged from repeating the behavior because it acts as a negative reinforcement . Operant conditioning theory can help in eliciting the required behavior change in the grade 5 learners. Use of positive Reinforcement In order to bring the desired behavior change in her learners, Mrs. Jane needs to use rewards. The teacher is to use all the necessary incentives to encourage the learners to participate in the teaching and learning process. Positive rewards are required because they can help in encouraging the learners to be serious with all the activities that they are doing. The first action to take is to encourage the learners to be active participants in class activities. The learners should feel free and motivated to ask and answer questions during the lessons and group discussions (Funder, 2015). To achieve this, the teacher needs to create a favorable environment for all the learners by knowing and identifying each of them using their names. The teacher must create a good relationship with the learners because it can make them to relate without any obstacles. At the same time, any student who participates in the class discussions are supposed to be rewarded by using praise words and positive terms that can make them feel recognized and motivated to be active in class. When it comes to the issue of assignments, the learners are to be encouraged to carry out the assigned tasks by rewarding punctuality and commendable performance by the learners. Many learners who are at this stage of learning tends to fear assignments because they believe that it is bothersome, difficult, and unnecessary (Olson, 2015). This is why Mrs. Jane complained of poor cooperation from her learners as far as assignments are concerned. Therefore, what is to be done is to encourage the learners to do their assignments and reward them appropriately. When the learners efforts are recognized, they can feel motivated and encouraged to continue doing the assignments because it yields positive rewards. Special attention is to be given to the weak learners who require a lot of keenness from the teacher. Any learner who is responsible in their activities are to be appreciated by praising and thanking them for their active participation in class activities (Newman Newman, 2014). The te acher is required to create and maintain a culture of participation and responsibility amongst the learners. In order to achieve all these positive changes, the teacher is expected to introduce new rules to the learners. The learners require to be made to know that it is a mandatory requirement that they are to follow all the instructions given by the instructor. The teacher has a responsibility of come up with new rules adequately inform the learners in time. Since change is a gradual process, the teacher is responsible for coming up with new rules and gradually introduce them to the learners. The new rules must be properly outline that the learners need to be respectable people who are obliged to comply with all the directives given by the teacher without any failure (Grusec Lytton, 2012). At the same time, the learners must be compelled to be actively involved in class matters and discharge all their activities without any failure. The rules need also clearly outline that the learners should do all the assignments and submit them within the specified time duration. If this is done as ex plained, the learners will have no choice rather than engaging in the activities that are accepted by the teacher because they are associated with positive outcomes (Patton, et al., 2016). Use of Negative Reinforcements Apart from using rewards to encourage a behavior change in the learners, the teacher is encouraged to use punishment to achieve the same goals. For Mrs. Jane to successfully discharge her teaching duties, she must not only rely on the incentives, but on punishment as well (Shaffer, Kipp, 2013). Whereas incentives should be used to encourage positive behaviors, punishment needs to be used to discourage the learners and prevent them from engaging in activities and behaviors which are undesirable. The information presented in the case study demonstrates that Mrs. Jane has been battling negative behaviors such as disobedience, deliberate avoidance of assignments and class participations. Actually, these are undesirable behaviors that must not be condoned whatsoever (Shapiro Margolin, 2014). The teacher has to therefore discourage the learners from such behaviors because they do no good, but hinder the teaching and learning process. To address these behaviors, the teacher is expected to introduce punishment in the classroom. The learners who are identified to be engaging in undesirable behaviors require being punished using different strategies such as repeating the assignment, and rebuking them while encouraging their cooperative colleagues. Nonetheless, disciplinary measures are required to be done by giving mild punishment to the learners who are misbehaving (Batra, 2013). Meaning, after identifying the inappropriate behaviors that the teacher wishes to address, she does not have to severely punish the learners, but submit acceptable degree of punishment. For the punishment strategy to be successful in bringing the desired behavior change in the learners, the teacher should ensure that there is consistency in the administration of the punishment. If it is consistently done, the teacher will manage to create a culture of compliance with the learners will always believe that any deviation must be punished (McSw eeney Murphy, 2014). This can, in the long run, make the learners to refrain from any misconduct that is not accepted by the teacher. Strengths and Weaknesses of the Operant Conditioning Theory Behavior change is a complex task that is to be undertaken whenever necessary. As the instructors, teacher needs to be at the fore front of bringing the desired behavior change in their learners. To achieve this, the teacher can apply the principles of Skinners Operant Conditioning; Lawrence Kohlbergs stages of moral development; Erick Eriksons psychosocial stages of human development; Jean Piagets cognitive stages of human development, or Albert Banduras social learning theory (Day, et al., 2014). These theories have principles whose effective application can help Mrs. Jane to handle her learners. However, of all these theories, the operant conditioning theory is recommended because it is the best alternative for the grade 5 learners. The first strength of operant conditioning theory is that it encourages good behaviors in individuals. Secondly, it needs to be applied because it discourages people from engaging in undesirable or unacceptable behaviors (Sigelman Rider, 2014). The operant conditioning theory is appropriate for Mrs. Janes learners because it can be effective in encouraging good behaviors. If the teacher uses rewards and positive reinforcements, she can succeed in encouraging the learners to adopt desirable and acceptable behaviors. The use of rewards makes the operant theory to be better than other theories because it can bring a mental change in the learners. Once the learners associate a behavior with a positive outcome, they will feel motivated to engage in it because it can elicit desirable rewards (Ruan, Wu, 2013). On the other hand, the use of punishment can be used to discourage the learners from misbehaving because of the feeling that it can result into a negative reinforcement. However, th e weakness of the operant conditioning theory is that it does not guarantee success because some people cannot stop their behavior even after getting punished. Besides, the theory treats people like objects that lack autonomy and must be controlled by others. Conclusion In conclusion, Mrs. Jane does not necessarily have to give up in her teaching duties. As a professional, she has to acknowledge that primary school learners are quite challenging to manage. Therefore, to effectively teach the learners, the teacher does not have to apply the operant conditioning theory. The theory is recommended because it appears to be the best alternative for Mrs. Jane. The theory is better than other theories such as social learning and cognitive development theories which give individuals a chance to interact with the environment and learn anything be it positive or negative. For instance, Piagets theory can be faulted because it allows people to develop a schema and freely interact with the environment without any restrictions. The teacher should apply the operant theory because it will enable her to motivate the learners to refrain from bad behaviors and encourage them to adopt and maintain good behaviors that are accepted in the learning environment. However, t o achieve all these, the teacher must be consistent in the administration of rewards and punishments. References Batra, S., (2013).
