If we were to superimpose a written word with a t in it on the spot marked I (Ego) present, and the t coincided with the straight up-and-down line, we would be talking about a vertical writer. If the t veered to the right, we see from the chart that it would point toward the future. Were it to veer to the left, it would point toward the past. However, this same word-say, the word “height”-also reaches into an upper and lower dimension. Upper, middle, and lower areas are called dimension zones, and they make up the zonal area. The authoritative Swiss graphologist Max Pulver (1889-1952) composed the chart below, showing many of the points discussed in the previous chapter. But in addition to demonstrating slant, it also demonstrates the zones. If we were to superimpose a written word with a t in it on the spot marked I (Ego) Present, and the t coincided with the straight up-and-down line, we would be talking about a vertical writer. If the t veered to the right, we see from the chart that it would point toward the future. Were it to veer to the left, it would point toward the past. But this same word-say, the word “height”-also reaches into an upper and lower dimension. Upper, middle, and lower areas are called dimension zones, and they make up the zonal area. Think of a child’s drawing-a boy standing on a piece of land, the sun shining and some clouds above. Zones are something like that picture. The upper zone represents sky, clouds, the sun-by extension what is high, spiritual, religious, lofty. Conversely, the lower zone represents earth, solidness, what is underfoot-things that are basic, common, earthy, materialistic, sexual. The middle zone is the person, the ego, the me. When handwriting is predominantly in one zone, we see a powerful key to personality. Handwriting confined to the middle zone demonstrates the social person, the today person, the one concerned with Number One and lacking spiritual as well as physical drive. Picture the word “height” laid out on a zonal chart; each zone is 3 millimeters in height, which is the norm. If the rest of the writing is consistently in the same zones, we say there is balance in this writer. Where the zones fluctuate, the graphologist looks to see what the changes are and analyzes them. If the writer constantly changes the angle of his writing, we see a moody individual, unreliable in his reactions. Where the zones vary, it indicates a shift in motivation. Take, for instance, the case of a man whose upper-zone writing ordinarily averages three millimeters in height-the norm. Suddenly, the upper zone dwindles to an average of one millimeter. This represents a shifting away from aspirations, spirituality as motivating factors. Usually such a change is accompanied by increased size in one of the other two zones, as if the energy normally expended in the spiritual zone has been shifted to the ego or sexual zones. In addition to writing that consistently covers all zones and writing where there is no consistency whatsoever, we have six other combinations of zonal areas: The upper zone as the largest. This reveals a person with high aspirations but too little interest in social life, because he has a relatively small lower zone. Although he strives toward high goals, it is doubtful if he will achieve them, because he lacks stamina. High aspiration coupled with physical stamina is evidenced by both the upper and lower zones being large. However, since his middle zone is quite shrunk, his handling of everyday affairs may be off, and consequently the two positive aspects of his character may not take their proper effect. A small upper zone shows that the writer probably has little spirituality and few aspirations. His middle zone is average, which reveals a normal social life, but because the accent in this writer’s script is on the lower zone, we see someone who is preoccupied with physical pleasures. If the lower zone loop is long and straight down, it is the sign of sexual pleasure; if the lower zone loop is inflated, it shows money, materialism. One of the greatest of all heavyweight boxers, the “champion among champions,” Jack Dempsey shows by his signature great physical pleasure and much physical interest. His long, heavy, lower-zone structures-this kind of writing is usually found among super athletes. The saddest picture is perhaps that of a writer whose script seems to have everything but an upper zone, and who therefore has neither imagination nor ideals, neither intellectual interests nor ambitions, no real pride, no ethics and, I dare to say, no brains. There seems to be no such thing as a well-developed single zone. If one zone is clearly more strongly developed than the other two, it is usually overdeveloped. Overdevelopment of one zone always occurs at the expense of one or both of the other. Then we have a large middle zone, a large lower zone, and a small upper zone. This person is a social butterfly. He has strong physical desires, but whether these are material or sexual depends on the shape of the lower zone loop. The small upper zone implies that he has little aspiration. At first glance, a praiseworthy sort of person will write the upper zone large (strong aspiration), middle zone large (doing well socially) but the problem is if hardly any lower zone exists. This is not healthy: the individual needs a proper sexual outlet, and this writer does not seem to have a normal one. Where there is strong sexual repression, sadism, masochism, or other unlovely outlets for desire tend to appear. Picture the middle zone that predominates. The upper and lower zones are small, showing little spirituality and little desire for material pleasure. The large middle zone hints that social life preoccupies the writer. This is found more often among women than among men, who usually have a small middle zone. In general, women are more interested in social affairs than men are. A small middle zone, on the other hand, represents strong powers of concentration. People who have small middle-zone letters (a, c, e, and any letter that does not have an upper or lower loop) show great ability at doing work requiring attention to detail. Many scientists, Einstein among them, have very small or even microscopic middle zone letters. Notice the writing in Polish of Marie Curie: In addition to the tiny middle zone, note the curly Greek d’s, showing culture. Some g’s and y’s are made without return strokes showing good judgment and mathematical ability. And to top it off, the t-bars are bowed, showing well-controlled basic instincts, a personality less emotional and more objective than most. Thus, the fine qualities that made this woman a great scientist are plain to read in her handwriting. Now that we have covered both the slants and the zones, you will frequently notice that zones have different slants. Let us take an example. Sometimes handwriting will be dominantly right-slanted or upright, but the astute observer can detect a regularly occurring pattern of left tending strokes, particularly with the end strokes. These must generally be interpreted as left-slanted writing with the additional understanding that the father-protest is more deeply repressed in these cases. Similar left-tending strokes in generally right-tending or upright hands may appear in the upper zone as t-strokes or in the middle zone, for instance, as left-slanted r’s. Their very inharmonious suddenness is ominous: an unrepressed, clearly conscious and guiding protest amid what looks like, peace and acceptance, characteristic of very difficult and unpredictable personalities (Hitler). Not only do the various slants and zones interrelate, the inflation and deflation of the letters within play a prime role. For example, this is Palmer’s copybook a: but this writer has deflated it to: without adding anything: a conventional, unimaginative businessman; while I believe the writer of this initial o: suffers from social timidity. Deflation may progress to the point where the two strokes meet each other. We then speak of concealing strokes: Inflation, on the other hand, is an opportunity the hand of the imaginative (or sometimes merely fanciful) writer never will miss: widening his circles, “grasping and accepting” a new era, so to speak, comparable to the pretensions of his intellectual horizon and the broadness of his imagination. The handwritten P covers much more territory than Palmer’s, and the same holds true of the b. (both letters are from the hand of a professional journalist and author; the inflation is therefore in the upper zone.) Most inflated letters may be interpreted according to the zone in which they stand. In the upper zone, the inflated letter indicates intellectual imagination, in the middle zone, it bespeaks the writer’s self-confidence. The height of the two t’s being approximately the same, the writer (female) has inflated and widened her o; she also has widened the connecting link between the t and the o; and she has split the t. She is receptive and aware of her values, with a pet idea hidden within the purposely split t. In the lower zone are the circular gestures that betray our unconscious drives and urges. As is always the case with pressure, they speak for our instinctual, sexual anxieties and hopes; without pressure, for our (unconscious) preoccupation with a person’s deep, instinctual, yet somewhat socialized, needs for security, financial and otherwise. The former is exemplified by the signature; the latter by the f. Pulver described these highly inflated lower loops as “money bags,” originating in a “money complex.” The crass disproportion between this hand’s upper (intellectual) zone and the inflated lower zone loop seems to confirm Pulver’s view. Sometimes, inflated letters give a hint as to their meaning because they are “deformed” and the deformation “points” in certain directions. The most frequent case in the lower zone is the unconscious mother fixation. It is, of course, no accident that three out of the four samples of mother fixation are taken from left-slanted handwritings; left slant and mother fixation goes together. Returning to the complete circular stroke, it may be recalled that one meaning of the circle is that of defense. Neurotic writers sometimes use the circle to “protect” themselves against the “outside forces” that cause their neurotic f ears and anxieties, and in such cases they draw a circle or circles around their name. Experience shows that these “magic circles” not only protect their deep neurotic fearfulness, but may also contain anti-social impulses, which lurk within the hidden recesses. Increasing Right Slant at the end of words: Writer’s interest in a thing grows the more he studies it; inability to hide his true intentions; optimism overpowers his original reserve; hot¬ headedness; when excited, writer loses self-control; quick temper. Diminishing Right Slant at the end of words: Writer’s interest in a thing diminishes the more he studies it; pessimism overcomes his original enthusiasm; skepticism is stronger than confidence; he backs out or asks for additional security just when everything seems settled; incurable pessimism. Middle Zone Left-slanted (upper zone and lower zone upright or right slanted): Intellectually and emotionally drawn to fellow men, but has difficulty in bringing himself to be one of them; sacrifices himself for a family claim (his mother or sister) Lower Zone Left-slanted (upper zone and middle zone upright or right¬ slanted): Sexual inadequacy or resignation to an incomplete sexual life. Increasing Left Slant (at the end of words in upright handwriting): Pessimism overpowers initial interest in a thing. Sporadic Left traits (in upright or right slanted handwriting): Skepticism; distrust; victim of inner conflicts; (together with split letters) schizophrenic disposition. Left-Slanted End Strokes (m upright or right slanted handwriting, with pressure): Unresolved father-protest, obstinacy, stubbornness. Examination for Lesson 3 1.

“A Manuscript that dates back to 100 A.D. was discovered while builders were digging the foundation of a property. It tells the story of Sulumits Retsambew, it is not clear if this person really existed or another mythical figure derived from the island of Cyprus. It is written in Aramaic, the language used by Jesus Christ. Below are the words according to the translation.” Sulumits Retsambew ( Soo-loo-mits Rit-sam-boo) was born on the island of Cyprus in the year 54 A.D. His mother, Fatima Retsambew, a Syrian woman who only 9 months earlier was picking fruit from the trees just miles from the Euphrates River was captured by nomadic clans and immediately taken to Damascus and sold as a slave. She would have been pregnant in the early days of her journey, before reaching Damascus. There was no way to tell who the father could have been, by the end of the first leg of the trip; every one of the men has taken her at least once. Being used like a toy or a tool by her captures in any fashion to fulfil all that they desired. After a few days in Damascus, she was sold for the first time to a friendly older merchant with many wives. The wives did not like Fatima, a pretty girl, too pretty to have among them and they let Fatima know this. Compared to what she already went through, this part of the trip was better. Fatima was sick daily and she knew she was carrying a child. The merchant thinking he was sold a sickly women decided to sell her on the slave ships to Europe. She was then taken across hundreds of miles to the shores of the Mediterranean where she was sold again and placed on a boat heading west. Although a slave now, Fatima came from a proud background of brave men and hard working women. Nothing could have predicted that she or any girl from her tribe would ever experience such a tragic fate, a slave girl being used and passed from one to another like an animal and dragged hundreds of miles all the way to an unknown island in the Mediterranean Sea. Her life was a nightmare. She was tied and placed in a ship with a few others until the entire room was filled before setting sail. After weeks of daily sickness from the sea, the pregnancy and the lack food, Fatima wanted her life to end. On a cold and windy but sunny day, Fatima was allowed to walk the deck, which luckily was allowed every few days. She felt much better as the boat headed directly into the sunset. The ship was full of many women, girls and children just like her and on her way back to her holding place all the women knew that she was carrying a child and gave her the attention and smiles that made her feel good despite the circumstances . On this particular day, just as she was to be tied, the sky turned dark as fast approaching clouds quickly covered the ship and the wind turned violent as the boat was jerked in every direction until finally the ship was no more than pieces of wood floating in all directions. Fatima braced for her along with eight others to a long plank. They did not take longer than half a day before safely reaching a rocky beach, exhausted, hungry and cold.

In 1842, the famous writer, Charles Dickens traveled around the USA and wrote down about his journey and about young democratic state. He published these notes and called them American Notes: A Journey. So, the idea of the work was to describe America and to show it to the British. At the beginning of his journey, Charles Dickens was talking like a traveler, and his thriving for journey gave him an unsympathetic perspective. Afterwards within the notes, Dickens takes an extremely critical view of the Americans. Charles Dickens is and always was very well-liked with lots of of his original and humorous works among which are “Oliver Twist” and the novel “Great Expectations” created in the 1840s, therefore it wasn’t a surprise that the work “American Notes” had strongly influenced many people in North America as well as in Britain, and even aroused the old feud between politicians that was between the two countries. Nevertheless, amazing and significant Dickens’ American Notes in point of fact was for the community, it was not a clear description of facts concerning America for booklovers since Dickens created with a satiric, prejudiced, and narrow viewpoint. From the very beginning of Dickens’ adventures he seemed extremely excited to go round America, however, as he arrives by the steamboat Britannia it doesn’t look as if he is very enthusiastic. He says, that they had experienced a rather smart shock before arriving, which but that they were the most optimistic people living, could have prepared them for the worst. Besides the living conditions he had on the steamboat and all the way through his journey round America left him upset and unenthusiastic. As an well-known figure, Dickens thought he undoubtedly would have been treated in the best way throughout his trip, but stated so often that he was stunned by the Americans’ ill manners.

Most probably in our lives we would one way or another be able to attend or witness a funeral or a memorial service. If we are observant enough, we’ll notice that there’s a part where family members, relatives, friends or co-workers stand up in front and give a speech commemorating the person who passed away. Those are example of eulogies. A eulogy, by definition is tribute we give to somebody who died usually part of the program on his or her wake or before he or she is buried. It is delivered by the spouse, the son or the daughter, niece or nephew, friend or colleague. Oftentimes it is voluntary but there are instances that someone will ask you to make one. Reading example of eulogies would be a great help. You can use these as guide or pattern so that it will be easier for you create one. No matter how some of the example of eulogies seem perfect or appropriate for the kind of situation you’re at, it is still best to compose one that is original. It will sound fabricated if you use the examples that you’ve read as a template. It is better that you put in specific incidents or stories that you remember most about the deceased. There is no greater way of showing appreciation for the dead than being able to dedicate a wonderfully-written or delivered eulogy. Just bear in mind that this might be the last chance for you to put across your message of gratitude and love for your departed loved-one so better give it a good shot.

Undoubtedly, just because one cannot communicate language successfully he may still understand that he/she yearns for it. From my own practice, a number of times when I wished to purchase a processor in Brazil, I wasn’t satisfied with my Portuguese as I was not able to explain what I wanted in a proper way. In English, I would tell you everything about computers, but since I began learning Portuguese, my lexicon was still inadequate to make people understand me. I was not short of knowledge, but it showed my incapability to converse in the definite form required. You can notice that if I were well-informed on computers, then I would be familiar with the vocabulary in Portuguese. Certainly not. The inhabitants of VW Germany can tell all the Portuguese terminology for the details of the autos in the industrial unit in Brazil. Some of my mates have noted that their teacher did not know mathematics well. Nevertheless, he is a Doctor of Mathematics and probably just can’t communicate his complicated knowledge, which do exist. For my part, I disagree with the claim, as some people are better orators, or playwrights than others, but at the same time they may be as much educated. I can’t but agree with a great number of statements approving the statement, and thousand times in lectures we repeat to ourselves, ‘He in fact does sound as if he knows what he’s speaking about.’ A combination of knowledge and the capability to communicate enables this. How often have we found ourselves keeping on repeating “I just can’t explain it”? Angel Ramirez is the head of customer care center at Custom-essay.org, Dissertation writing services.

The key factor of an effective application lies in its content. What do you think would be the best way to impress an employer and make him look twice at you application? This is where a cover letter comes in. On the internet and on several advice books are examples of cover letters that can help every applicant in highlighting their achievements. You application documents should be able to highlight your achievements which must be clearly evident and impressively made. Each person can prove to be useful to a company in various ways. It then all boils down to how you market your own in making it stand out from another applicant that has the same, or even greater, experience than you have. By reading through examples of cover letters and identifying how the good ones catch the eye of employer, you can formulate your own. Your task doesn’t end at finding a professional looking document. Also take a look at the badly written cover letters and make sure that you do not commit their errors. Errors or misrepresentations on your application may cause negative results which is why it is essential that you are knowledgeable on what is right and wrong when it comes to making these documents. One important reminder on getting examples of cover letters as your model for composition is never to copy them. Impressive results can be achieved by applying your own inputs on the documents. Besides, if an employer finds out that the outstanding letter they have received is made by another applicant, your credentials, as true as they may be, can get overridden by the offence.

The formal definition of an intro is a brief introductory passage. What is important is that you get the story right; it needs to encapsulate the essence or spirit of your overall point, try communicating through example. Capturing the essence is not enough; if nobody reads far enough to grasp the main point of the story then its purpose is lost. If you are going to start writing, make sure it is a short intro. When readers see a headline they expect the writing below it to contain content which relates to that headline. There is only so much time a reader will spend with an intro about sports when the headline suggested the article was about vacations. Even if the intro, at its end, would have captured the essence of what the author was trying to say. Ask yourself; is it short enough that a reader is not losing his patience before the writing returns to the topic at hand? The piece above contains an intro that is quite short. This kind of intro has the potential to work very well as long as the reader knows what they are reading. Readers know what the article is going to tell them in broad terms and so they know what to look-out for within the story. Starting with a long introduction that appears to bear no relevance to the headline is the number one killer of otherwise good writing. When using long anecdotes you need to let your readers know before you begin how it relates to your topic, or many readers will drop out of your article before you have a chance to illustrate your point. More essence in fewer words; the function of an introduction is to convey something about your broader point. Think about your intro as a whole and consider which details help do this and which do not. Extra details like dates, names, descriptions and diversions, if not necessary to the essence of the anecdote, serve only to distract the reader.

On September 11th, 2001, the lives of the people of New York and America were forever changed. As the twin towers collapsed, a wave of horror swept throughout the world. For the families and loved ones of the victims, the nightmare would not end on that day. Working in Lower Manhattan on 9/11, author William Kinsella experienced the results of the tragedy. In his novel, A Cross Estate, Kinsella shares a fictional story of how one victim’s family and loved ones endured the devastating aftermath of that day. As a recent graduate from Duke University, Jack Conroy, a bright, spiritual, and compassionate young man, is faced with a difficult life choice. He must choose between following in his father’s footsteps and embark on a career on Wall Street, or, work as a Landscape Designer in Durham. Jack, passionate and feeling a spiritual connection with nature, is drawn to the nursery job as it would keep him closer to his girlfriend Veronica. Jack, deeply in love with Veronica, finds himself in a situation he did not imagine as a young boy dreaming of working on Wall Street. With the advice of his family and Veronica, Jack attends a job interview. At the interview, he starts to remember the reasons why he always wanted to work on Wall Street. He accepts the job and begins working for a company in the South Twin Tower. On 9/11, the death of Jack brings the lives of his family and Veronica to a standstill. From here, the story enters the lives of Jack’s loved ones. Jack’s mother, father, and Veronica, each undergo a painful struggle to deal with the loss. The reader is taken into their journey of hopelessness, pain, grief, depression, and losing the will to live. Only in the journey to their deepest and darkest feelings are they able to find the light. The journey of Jack’s loved ones is an emotional and painful one where nature with its remarkable beauty is entwined with such themes as birth, death, and rebirth. A Cross Estate is an emotional story of survival and finding peace amid a terrible tragedy. With a well-detailed depiction of setting and nature, William Kinsella delivers a story of hope from a terrible event that affected the loved ones of one special young man lost on that fateful day. I highly recommend the book to readers who enjoy powerful stories of love, loss, forgiveness, and redemption.
