assignment is to first read the story carefully slowly once. Then, go back to see how “Saki” carefully constructed the first half of the story to create the surprising effect that occurs as the story closes. Finally, write at least a single page (printed and double-spaced) which is an analysis of how this author constructed this very short and simple story to have the effect it has on the reader, which has been universally accepted as very clever – to say the least.

The Open Window
by H. H. Munro (Saki)
“My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel,” said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen;
“in the meantime you must try and put up with me.”
Framton Nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of
the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than
ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping
the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing.
“I know how it will be,” his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat;
“you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse
than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there.
Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice.”
Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the
letters of introduction, came into the nice division.
“Do you know many of the people round here?” asked the niece, when she judged that they had
had sufficient silent communion.
“Hardly a soul,” said Framton. “My sister was staying here, at the rectory, you know, some four
years ago, and she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here.”
He made the last statement in a tone of distinct regret.
“Then you know practically nothing about my aunt?” pursued the self-possessed young lady.
“Only her name and address,” admitted the caller. He was wondering whether Mrs. Sappleton
was in the married or widowed state. An undefinable something about the room seemed to suggest
masculine habitation.
“Her great tragedy happened just three years ago,” said the child; “that would be since your
sister’s time.”
“Her tragedy?” asked Framton; somehow in this restful country spot tragedies seemed out of
place.
“You may wonder why we keep that window wide open on an October afternoon,” said the niece,
indicating a large French window that opened on to a lawn.
“It is quite warm for the time of the year,” said Framton; “but has that window got anything to do
with the tragedy?”
“Out through that window, three years ago to a day, her husband and her two young brothers went
off for their day’s shooting. They never came back. In crossing the moor to their favourite snipeshooting
ground they were all three engulfed in a treacherous piece of bog. It had been that dreadful
wet summer, you know, and places that were safe in other years gave way suddenly without
warning. Their bodies were never recovered. That was the dreadful part of it.” Here the child’s voice
lost its self-possessed note and became falteringly human. “Poor aunt always thinks that they will
come back some day, they and the little brown spaniel that was lost with them, and walk in at that
window just as they used to do. That is why the window is kept open every evening till it is quite
dusk. Poor dear aunt, she has often told me how they went out, her husband with his white
waterproof coat over his arm, and Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing ‘Bertie, why do you
bound?’ as he always did to tease her, because she said it got on her nerves. Do you know,
sometimes on still, quiet evenings like this, I almost get a creepy feeling that they will all walk in
through that window – ”
She broke off with a little shudder. It was a relief to Framton when the aunt bustled into the room
with a whirl of apologies for being late in making her appearance.
“I hope Vera has been amusing you?” she said.
“She has been very interesting,” said Framton.
“I hope you don’t mind the open window,” said Mrs. Sappleton briskly; “my husband and brothers
will be home directly from shooting, and they always come in this way. They’ve been out for snipe
in the marshes to-day, so they’ll make a fine mess over my poor carpets. So like you men-folk, isn’t
it?”
She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck
in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially
successful effort to turn the talk on to a less ghastly topic; he was conscious that his hostess was
giving him only a fragment of her attention, and her eyes were constantly straying past him to the
open window and the lawn beyond. It was certainly an unfortunate coincidence that he should have
paid his visit on this tragic anniversary.
“The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, an absence of mental excitement, and avoidance
of anything in the nature of violent physical exercise,” announced Framton, who laboured under the
tolerably wide-spread delusion that total strangers and chance acquaintances are hungry for the least
detail of one’s ailments and infirmities, their cause and cure. “On the matter of diet they are not so
much in agreement,” he continued.
“No?” said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. Then she
suddenly brightened into alert attention – but not to what Framton was saying.
“Here they are at last!” she cried. “Just in time for tea, and don’t they look as if they were muddy
up to the eyes!”
Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey
sympathetic comprehension. The child was staring out through the open window with dazed horror
in her eyes. In a chill shock of nameless fear Framton swung round in his seat and looked in the
same direction.
In the deepening twilight three figures were walking across the lawn towards the window; they
all carried guns under their arms, and one of them was additionally burdened with a white coat hung
over his shoulders. A tired brown spaniel kept close at their heels. Noiselessly they neared the
house, and then a hoarse young voice chanted out of the dusk: “I said, Bertie, why do you bound?”
Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat; the hall-door, the gravel-drive, and the front gate
were dimly-noted stages in his headlong retreat. A cyclist coming along the road had to run into the
hedge to avoid an imminent collision.
“Here we are, my dear,” said the bearer of the white mackintosh, coming in through the window;
“fairly muddy, but most of it’s dry. Who was that who bolted out as we came up?”
“A most extraordinary man, a Mr. Nuttel,” said Mrs. Sappleton; “could only talk about his
illnesses, and dashed off without a word of good-bye or apology when you arrived. One would
think he had seen a ghost.”
“I expect it was the spaniel,” said the niece calmly; “he told me he had a horror of dogs. He was
once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and
had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming
just above him. Enough to make anyone their nerve.”
Romance at short notice was her speciality

Before we analyze discourse in the “real world,” we are going to practice analyzing a fictional conversation. I want you to pick a brief scene from a favorite movie or TV episode. The scene should run around five minutes total. When re-viewing you scene, take careful notes and present your findings in the following format:

Section 1: Participants

List all characters present in the scene. Identify each characters’ demographics in as much detail as possible. Consider: race/ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, profession, nationality, species (e.g. vampire), and any others you think are important for analysis.

Section 2: Non-verbal elements

Consider all the un-spoken things that influence communication” body language, costumes, spatial relationships on the screen (is one character higher than another); lighting, camera angles. Consider any filmmaking technique that conveys meaning outside of the dialogue.

Section 3: Speech Acts

List all the most interesting/strange/surprising speech acts that stand out to you. Consider tone, volume, and accent in addition to the words spoken. Which speech acts are most telling for analyzing how power is established, maintained, and/or denied.

Section 4: Conclusions

Interpret the most important examples from the evidence you’ve presented above. What does the scene reveal about power relations in society? Consider that whatever ideologies it reveals it is also actively reinforcing. In the end, is this a representation of communication in society that you would recommend as a model for others, or is it an example of methods of communication that you should point out as an example of things you want others to avoid.

Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” page for specific format requirements.

A comprehensive health history is essential to providing quality care for patients across the lifespan, as it helps to properly identify health risks, diagnose patients, and develop individualized treatment plans. To effectively collect these heath histories, you must not only have strong communication skills, but also the ability to quickly establish trust and confidence with your patients. For this Assignment, you begin building your communication and assessment skills as you collect a health history from a volunteer “patient.”

 

To prepare:

 

Arrange an appropriate time and setting with your volunteer “patient” to collect a health history.

 

 

Note: Your volunteer’s Video Release Form must be submitted prior to collecting the health history. Refer to the Week 1 Looking Ahead for release form details.

Download and review the History Subjective Data Checklist provided in this week’s Learning Resources.

Ensure that you have appropriate lighting to record yourself collecting the patient’s health history.

To complete:

 

Record yourself collecting the patient’s health history, covering all of the areas listed in the checklist.

 

Week in Review

This week, you discussed various assessment tools and diagnostic tests that are used to gather information about patients’ conditions. In addition, you also examined the validity and reliability of these tests and tools. The assessment techniques, health risks and concerns, and recommendations for care related to patient growth, weight, and nutrition were also assessed.

 

Next week, you will explore how to assess the skin, hair, and nails, as well as how to evaluate abnormal skin findings while conducting health assessments.Week 4: Assessment of the Skin, Hair, and Nails

Something as small and simple as a mole or a discolored toenail can offer meaningful clues about a patient’s health. Abnormalities in skin, hair, and nails can provide non-invasive external clues to internal disorders or even prove to be disorders themselves. Being able to evaluate such abnormalities of the skin, hair, and nails is a diagnostic benefit for any nurse conducting health assessments.

 

This week, you will explore how to assess the skin, hair, and nails, as well as how to evaluate abnormal skin findings.

 

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Apply assessment skills to diagnose skin conditions

Apply concepts, theories, and principles relating to health assessment techniques and diagnoses for the skin, hair, and nails

Apply assessment skills to collect patient health histories

seek out an individual of another culture other than your own (and different from your book discussion) to interview regarding their culture. The purpose of this assignment is to further develop your interviewing skills, in addition to learning about another culture. Do not limit yourself to ethnicity as culture, but consider social structures/cultures as well.

 

Once an individual has been chosen, you need to find resources that can be read in preparation for the interview. These sources must be reliable and professional. At least one of the sources must be a peer reviewed journal article. There must be at least 3 resources for this assignment that you will incorporate into the text of the paper.

 

The body of the paper will center on the 12 domains. Use the domains as an interview guide. You can also use your interactional and observational skills to gather information on the 12 domains.

 

For the next section of the paper, imagine this individual in an acute care setting. Identify at least 3 nursing interventions you would incorporate into their standard care plan, based on their cultural needs. Use Leininger’s 3 modes of 1) cultural care preservation and /or maintenance, 2) cultural care accommodation and/or negotiation, and 3) cultural care repatterning or restructuring to guide the interventions if needed.

 

The final section of the paper should be a discussion of the interview as a cross-cultural communication experience (from your own cultural perspective observing/interpreting their culture). For example, what verbal/nonverbal differences or barriers did you note? What changes did you have to make in your own communication patterns to accommodate the interviewee? Also include in this section what you personally learned from the experience and from the interviewee.

 

Format: Please DO NOT write in first person, use headers for each of the 12 domains, the cultural intervention section, and your discussion of the cross-cultural experience. The paper should follow APA guidelines; include a title page, an introduction and conclusion paragraph, and a reference page. The body of your paper should not be longer than 8 pages (25 points will be deducted for papers over 8 pages) (excluding title page, reference page, and grading rubric).

 

Please submit your paper electronically under Assignments and Rubrics.

 

Grading rubric must be included at the end of the paper. If it is missing points will be deducted from your grade (see rubric).

Financial Management Class. Integrative Case 2, Track Software, Inc., places you in the role of financial decision maker to introduce the basic concepts of financial goal-setting, measurement of the firm’s performance, and analysis of the firm’s financial condition. Because this seven-year-old software company has cash flow problems, you must prepare and analyze the statement of cash flows. Interest expense is increasing, and the firm’s financing strategy should be evaluated in view of current yields on loans of different maturities. A ratio analysis of Track’s financial statements is used to provide additional information about the firm’s financial condition. You are faced with a cost/benefit tradeoff: Is the additional expense of a new software developer, which will decrease short-term profitability, a good investment for the firm’s long-term potential? In considering these situations, you have become familiar with the importance of financial decisions to the firm’s day-to-day operations and long-term profitability.
