“The Story of an Hour”

“The Story of an Hour”

You may choose from The Color Purple, Othello, The Great Gatsby or Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” or “The Storm.” (primary source) 2. You will need an article from Literature Resource Center( (secondary source). 3. First 1 /12 to 2 pages: a straight summary–in your own words of the critique (secondary source). You don’t need direct quotes, as what is important is your ability to paraphrase. Try not to print out these articles; some are 30 plus pages. You may email them to yourselves. Read as much as you can to get the main idea. If you have trouble, I can help you select critiques. Please start off this section with According to John Smith’s critique “Othello’s Lonely Women,” and then summarize… 4. Next 2 to 3 pages is your reaction to the article. In this section, you may use I. You may agree, disagree, or both. However, please remember that you will have to cite 3 or 4 times from the primary source (4 lines or less each time), and use MLA guidelines. This section should begin with I agree…disagree..or both… Please make sure to have 4 full pages of text, or as close to this as possible. 5. A works cited page ( we saw how the articles already contain the citation) of the article and the primary source (this will be page 5). 6. The topic must be Great Gatsby, i have the critical essay for you to write. I will send you a sample essay and the link to read and make a summary.

Write code to create a web page that uses a JavaScript program to output a NASA style count down: Ten – Nine – Eight …. One – Ignition – Start – Liftoff – We have Liftoff!

Write code to create a web page that uses a JavaScript program to output a NASA style count down: Ten – Nine – Eight …. One – Ignition – Start – Liftoff – We have Liftoff!

Project 1:

Create two files, one named first.html and the other named first.js
Write code to create a web page that uses a JavaScript program to output a NASA style count down: Ten – Nine – Eight ….  One – Ignition – Start – Liftoff – We have Liftoff!
The lines will display all at once for this assignment.
Use comments and lay the code out so it can be easily followed!

 

Project 2:

Create two files, one named second.html and the other named second.js
Write code to create a web page that uses a JavaScript program to output a NASA style count down: Ten – Nine – Eight ….  One – Ignition – Start – Liftoff – We have Liftoff!

Each line must be displayed as an alert
Create a generic function that outputs one line of the countdown as an alert, and receives the data to output as an input parameter.
Use that function to output each line of the countdown.
Each line, after the first line, must only be output when the user clicks “Ok” in response to the alert.

 

Project 3:

Create two files, one named third.html and the other named third.js
Write code to create a web page that uses a JavaScript program to output a NASA style count down: Ten – Nine – Eight ….  One – Ignition – Start – Liftoff – We have Liftoff!

Each line must be displayed in the browser window.
An alert must be used to control when the next line is displayed.
Create a generic function that outputs one line of the countdown on the web page, followed by an alert, and receives the data to output as an input parameter.
Use that function to output each line of the countdown, and an alert.
Please note that you are outputting the countdown to the browser window this time, not to an alert!  The alert is only being used to signal when to output the next line.
Important Note: Depending on which browser you are using to view your web page, the alert messages may or may not be displayed alternately with each line output to the web page. Some browsers (Internet Explorer) display all the alerts first and then display the countdown on the page.
The program should have fewer lines of code than assignment 2. Hint: use a loop when displaying the numeric part of the countdown. You can output the countdown numbers as before or as digits (Ten or 10, Nine or 9, etc.).

Use comments and lay the code out so it can be easily followed!

 

Project 4:
Create a very simple four function integer calculator with buttons for Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide,
and with two text-type input fields.  When the user enters two numbers and clicks one of the buttons, the answer is displayed where shown.
Your program must use an alert to tell the user about any errors.
The possible errors include:
One or both input fields are blank
One or both input fields < -9999 or greater than 9999
Divide by zero
Illegal character in either input field.
Only 0, 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9, and – are allowed.
You must include instructions to the instructor on how to install the assignment.
Do this in a separate file named ReadMe.txt.
Even though there are none in the example, you must include instructions to the user.

  1. Total market demand for a product or service is the total volume that would be bought by a defined consumer group in a defined geographic area in a defined time period in a defined marketing environment under a defined level of mix of industry marketing effort. The upper limit of market demand is called market potential.In the chain ratio method of estimating demand, a base number is multiplied by a chain of adjusting percentages.

 

ZIVAGO sells HDTV and a recent marketing research survey found the followinginformation :

 

Number of US households:  113 million

HDTV Ownership and internet access:  60% of the households.

Each household buys one HDTV. Average price:  $ 500

30% of households are willing and able to buy HDTV

ZIVAGO wants to get 4% of the available market in the first year.

 

 

Use the chain ratio method to estimate

  1. Market potential for HD TV
  2. Zivago sales volume in the first year

 

  1. Determine the market potential for a backpack that has 20 million prospective buyers who purchase an average of 2 per year and price averages $50. How many units must a company sell if it desires a 10% share of this market? Supplier o the backpack leases the factory for $400,000 per year and has a variable cost of $ 30 per unit. What % of the market it should capture to break even?

  3. If the price elasticity of demand is 2, how many units they can sell if they drop the SP by $2.
  4. What is the new markup on sales price? What is the new mark up on total cost? (hint: use the new sales)
  5. Please calculate the total profit for this company as well as the profit per each toy sold (hint: use the new demand)
