READING LOG FOR FICTION
Book Title: 1984
Author: George Orwell
Page Range: 1-73
Entry #1: “The frightening thing, he reflected for the ten thousandth time as he forced his shoulders painfully backward… If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death” (Orwell 34).
Reading Prompt: Question #2: How would you summarize the idea expressed here?
Winston is participating in routine exercise in this part of the book. Everyone has to do it and if you don’t you can get in trouble. As he is doing the exercise, his mind wanders. He begins to think that his government is too controlling and gets off track. The woman in the Telescreen yells at him and he gets back to exercising correctly. He thinks that the control the Party has over people and history is worse than death or torture.
In MLA format, write an essay comparing and contrasting two of the poems suggested below. Compare and contrast essays are a bit different than regular literary analysis essays in that they critically discuss the similarities and differences of two texts, then synthesize meaning out of the differences. (This strategy essentially follows the process of what we in the humanities call “thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.”)
This essay will require more than one draft in order to synthesize a decent thesis, and cannot be satisfactorily completed the night before the due date. Remember to include your topic sentence and your thesis statement near the beginning of your essay and provide ample support for your assertions. Also be sure to properly reference your quotations and sources, and to include a “Works Cited” page at the end of your essay. You should quote from each poem at least once (but probably no more than twice each). Some topics you may wish to consider are:
1) Compare and contrast the concept of death in John Donne’s [Death be not Proud], and Percy Shelly’s “Ozymandias.” Both seem to address the concept of physical life and what lies beyond, but both do so in very different ways. Where do these two poems agree and disagree? What meaning can you determine from the different ways in which these two poems consider the same subject

But most thro’ midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse”
You are to select a stanza from the poem “London” by William Blake and offer the reader some critical analysis of the passage in 200-250 words. The idea here is to take a close look at the passage and unpack its meaning. In other words, psychologically speaking, what’s important about the passage? When analyzing the passage you want to keep in mind context and content; you should be thinking about what the language of the quote states, but also what it implies; you should also consider what makes this passage significant. In short, what do you want the reader to notice in this quote?
Why is the internet good and bad
You are the manager of a small team of 11 software developers who have been working together successfully for three years. Seven of the employees are in your office, while the other 4 are in a time zone 7 hours behind you. Your company has decided that to cut costs, all employees will now work remotely. You have worked hard to build and maintain a positive work environment for your staff and you pride yourself on employing positive OB techniques. You have been given ample budget to purchase needed distant technologies to keep the team high functioning. Explain how you would work to employ the same OB tactics with a remote team. Include examples of how other organizations have successfully – or unsuccessfully – transitioned in-office OB to remote OB.
2. Explain in your own words – and drawing from your own experiences – how stereotypes function in today’s workplace. Do you think stereotyping is always a bad thing or can it sometimes be a good thing? Have you found yourself using stereotypes in the workplace or while engaging in activities such as shopping (I.e., finding a female store clerk to ask where the baby clothing is, or asking a male store clerk where to find a wrench, etc.)
3. The chart on page 79 of the textbook shows the main causes of job satisfaction, per a Gallup poll. Create a new chart that shows the characteristics you most align with and the percentage for each. Then explain how, and to what extent, these things have impacted your current and past jobs. Use specific examples.
4. Explain the most satisfying job you have ever had and why. Be sure to include the impact of all aspects of the job, including: stress, pay, co-workers, benefits, manager, work space, room for growth, etc.

HORNER: Well Jack by thy long absence from the town, the grumness of thy countenance, and the slovenliness of thy habit, I should give thee joy, should I not, of marriage?
PINCHWIFE: [aside] Death! Does he know I’m married too? I though to have concealed it from him at least.—My long stay in the country will excuse my dress, and I have a suit of law, that brings me up to town, that puts me out of humour; besides, I must give Sparkish tomorrow five thousand pound to lie with my sister.
HORNER: Nay, you country gentlemen, rather than not purchase, will buy anything; and he is a cracked title, if we may quibble. Well, but am I to give thee joy? I heard thou wert married.
PINCHWIFE: What then?
HORNER: Why, the next thing that is to be heard is, thou’rt a cuckold.
PINCHWIFE: [aside] Insupportable name!
HORNER: But I did not expect marriage from such a whoremaster as you, one that knew the town so much, and women so well.
PINCHWIFE: Why, I have married no London wife.
HORNER: Pshaw! That’s all one; that grave circumspection in marrying a country wife is like refusing a deceitful, pampered Smithfield1 jade to go and be cheated by a friend in the country.
PINCHWIFE: [aside] A pox on him and his simile!—At least we are a little surer of the breed there, know what her keeping has been, foiled2 or unsound.
HORNER: Come, come, I have known a clap gotten in Wales; and there are cousins, justices’ clerks, and chaplains in the country, I won’t say coachmen. But she’s handsome and young?
PINCHWIFE: [aside] I’ll answer as I should do.—No, no, she has no more beauty but her youth; no attraction but her modesty; wholesome, homely, and housewifely; that’s all.
DORILANT: He talks as like a grazier3 as he looks.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
HORNER: But prithee, was not the way you were in better? Is not keeping better than marriage?
PINCHWIFE: A pox on’t! The jades would jilt me; I could never keep a whore to myself.
HORNER: So, then you only married to keep a whore to yourself. Well, but let me tell you, women, as you say, are like soldiers, made constant and loyal by good pay rather than by oaths and covenants.
LADY FIDGET. Drink thou representative of a Husband. Damn a Husband!
MRS. DAINTY FIDGET. And as it were a husband, an old keeper.
MRS. SQUIMISH. And an old Grandmother.
HORNER. And an English bawd,1 and a French surgeon.
LADY FIDGET. Ay we have all reason to curse ’em.
HORNER. For my sake, ladies?
LADY FIDGET. No, for our own, for the first spoils all young gallants’ industry.
MRS. DAINTY FIDGET. And the others art makes ’em bold only with common women.
MRS. SQUIMISH. And rather run the hazard of the vile distemper amongst them, than of a denial amongst us.
MRS. DAINTY FIDGET. The filthy toads choose mistresses now as they do stuffs, for having been fancied and worn by others.
MRS. SQUEAMISH. For being common and cheap.
LADY FIDGET. Whilst women of quality, like the richest stuffs, lie untumbled and unasked for.
HORNER. Ay neat, and cheap, and new often they think best
MRS. DAINTY FIDGET. No, sir, the beasts will be known by a mistress longer than by a suit.
MRS. SQUEAMISH. And ’tis not for cheapness neither.
LADY FIDGET. No, for the vain fops will take up druggets,2 and embroider ’em, but I wonder at the depraved appetites of witty men; they use to be out of the common road, and hate imitation. Pray tell me, beast, when you were a man, why you rather chose to club with a multitude in a common house, for an entertainment, than to be the only guest at a good table.
HORNER. Why, faith, ceremony and expectation are unsufferable to those that are sharp bent, people always eat with the best stomach at an ordinary,3 where every man is snatching for the best bit.
LADY FIDGET. Though he get a cut over the fingers—but I have heard people eat most heartily of another man’s meat, that is, what they do not pay for.
HORNER. When they are sure of their welcome and freedom, for ceremony in love and eating, is as ridiculous as in fighting, falling on briskly is all should be done in those occasions.
LADY FIDGET. Well, then, let me tell you, sir, there is nowhere more freedom than in our houses, and we take freedom from a young person as a sign of good breeding. And a person may be as free as he pleases with us, as frolic, as gamesome, as wild as he will.
HORNER. Haven’t I heard you all declaim against wild men?
LADY FIDGET. Yes, but for all that we think wildness in a man a desirable quality. A tame man, foh.
HORNER. I know not, but your reputations frightened me as much as your faces invited me.
LADY FIDGET. Our reputation! Lord, why should you not think that we women make use of our reputation as you men of yours? Only to deceive the world with less suspicion. Our virtue is like the statesman’s religion, the Quaker’s word, the gamester’s oath, and the great man’s honour—but to cheat those who trust us.
MRS. SQUEAMISH. And that demureness, coyness, and modesty, that you see in our faces in the boxes at plays is as much a sign of a kind woman as a vizard-mask in the pit.
MRS. DAINTY FIDGET. For I assure you, women are least masked when they have the velvet vizard on.
LADY FIDGET. You would have found us modest women in our denials only.
MRS. SQUEAMISH. Our bashfulness is only the reflection of the men’s.
MRS. DAINTY FIDGET. We blush, when they are shamefaced
HORNER. I beg your pardon, ladies, I was deceived in you devilishly. But why that mighty pretence to honour?
LADY FIDGET. We have told you. ‘Twas for the same reason you men pretend business often, to avoid ill company, to enjoy the better and more privately those you love.
HORNER. But why would you never give a friend a wink then?
LADY FIDGET. Faith, your reputation frightened us as much as ours did you, you were so notoriously lewd.
HORNER. And you so seemingly honest.
