" The short story itself is an example of minimalism, simply because it condenses the components of a novel into a much shorter space. There are writers who specialize in what Barth calls "luxuriant abundance" and in "extended analysis," which clearly is the opposite of minimalism; he mentions Guy de Maupassant and Anton Chekov as "masters of terseness" (Barth, 1986)

Staffing Shortage: Clinical Management Issue the United

Staffing Shortage: Clinical Management Issue the United


If a clinical setting offers high job satisfaction, if managers encourage and value nurses' suggestions and implement them whenever possible, if the culture is warm and employees are encouraged to grow, nurses will be more likely to stay (Rothcock, 2000). Strategies to combat the UK nursing shortage do not revolve entirely around attracting and training more nurses, says Chris Mullen, Project Director for the Greater Manchester Workforce Confederation (Mullen, 2003)

In the bi-racial family research found in the literature in the 1930s, which was the era of the Great Depression, so-called "depression-era experts typically assumed a naturalized white subject position" and hence, those experts "evaluated black families by their approximation to white" (Gillette, 2007, p

Cora Unashamed This Short Story by Langston


However, Hughes turned that around, Gillette writes; indeed "Cora Unashamed' assumes a markedly black subject position" and as a result the short story "evaluates white families by their approximation to black" (Gillette, 127). In this story Hughes sets the reader up to believe that it will be yet another depiction of a dysfunctional black family -- the racist stereotype that unfortunately is attached to too many media depictions and too much of American literature with reference to the black family in America -- because Cora's father is "a drunkard" who tended to spend "…what little money he made from closet-cleaning, ash-hauling, and junk-dealing […] on the stuff that makes you forget you have eight kids" (Hughes)
