Food is a fundamental necessity of life and therefore becomes a rich conveyor of cultural traditions and norms and attracts patterns of symbolic significance much like a magnet, for example, who is entitled to eat with whom, and when, and how food is to be shared.

Indeed, it can be said that a culture is encoded in the expectations of behavior associated with the communal act of dining. The purpose of this paper is to examine the historical continuity of ...

He didn’t look like anything that she was expecting. She expected him to a stocky little man, a bottle of beer in his hands and a paunch in his middle. He was none of those.

Edward Hopper’s painting ‘Nighthawks’ (1942) hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago. It depicts a diner occupied by three lonely customers and a waiter who serves them. The painting’s point of view is from the outside looking in, and the connecting street is empty. The streets are empty and seem to wrap around the diner which is occupied by its four solitary individuals in a brightly lit diner that is harshly set against the night. It is late at night, presumably, and only the nighthawks are on the town. In this paper, it will be argued that Edward Hopper’s ...

Question #1 [5 marks]

All we know is that Z8 costs $130,645, and x is our variable for CL 600. First, assume, that CL 600 is more expensive. We know that its price is higher than on $10,000. So, if we will subtract $130,645 from x, we will obtain more than $10,000. This can be written in the form of inequality: x-130645>10000 Consider the opposite situation, CL 600 is cheaper. Now if we subtract x from 130645 we will obtain more than $10,000. Hence,

130645-x>10000

We know, that 130645 – x = -x-130645 Hence, the ...
