Pretend that you are participating in a public safety awareness forum and that you have been selected to deliver a presentation on the health risks of one of the toxic substance categories that we have covered in this unit. Create an eight- to ten-slide PowerPoint Presentation discussing the major toxicological concerns, including possible sources of exposure, symptoms of toxicity, and health risks to humans. Be sure to cite references on your last slide in proper APA format.

Gwendolyn Bonnefille, a single mother, is barely scraping by. Although she earns a fair salary working in the accounts receivable department of a local business, she has to pay for child care for her two children,
Samantha who is 5 and Merlin who is 3. While surfing the Web, under a listing titled “businesses that can be moved,” she found for sale a business that makes a great hot sauce called Caterwauling Coyote, with the slogan, “You’ll howl at the moon!” The sauce is made in the kitchen of the owner, bottled, labeled, and then delivered to gift and specialty shops in south Texas. The equipment to make the sauce is commercial quality and appears to be in good condition. The business financial statements and the owner’s 1040 C business tax
returns do not agree. The financial statements show that in the most recent year the business earned $60,000 on sales of $200,000. The 1040 C shows a profit of only $10,000, and a zero tax liability because of deducting losses suffered in prior years. The sellers are asking $240,000 for the business. They are willing to finance
$190,000 at 10 percent for 15 years. When Gwendolyn sat down with the owner, Sylvester Gatos, he attempted to explain the discrepancy between the accounting and the tax returns.“You see,” Sly said, “there are two things. First, some of the expenses on the schedule C aren’t really business expenses, if you know what I mean. Second, when we did the income statement, we took out depreciation, interest, property tax, and the money that we used from the business because a buyer will not have those expenses.”
CASE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. What do you think about Sly’s explanation of the differences between his income statement and
his 1040 Schedule C?
2. Suppose that the income statement is reasonably accurate. What do you think about the
purchase price?
3. What information should Gwendolyn obtain before making a decision to purchase the business?

Explain how “good” and “evil” co-exist in this story, and which one you think wins out in the end.

Read “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” by Gabriel García Márquez (attached). Reflect and respond to the story in a 3- to 4-page reader-response essay.

Remember that reader-response essays are less formal than other types of academic writing. You may use the personal pronoun “I” and may write about whatever strikes you from the story. You may also choose to write from one of the following prompts:

Explain how “good” and “evil” co-exist in this story, and which one you think wins out in the end. Use specific lines of text from the story to support your assertion.
Was the old man with the enormous wings truly an angel? Why or why not? Use specific lines of text from the story to support your assertion.
Gabriel García Márquez is said to have fathered the genre of “magical realism” with this story. What parts of the story felt magical to you and what parts felt real? How do they work together to convey the overall message of the story? Use specific lines of text from the story to support your assertion.
Does the fact that Márquez is a South American writer have any influence on the developments of this story? Does its international setting have any impact on the reader’s potential understanding of the story?

For a successful paper:

Have a strong thesis statement at the end of your introduction paragraph.
Use a “hook” in the introduction paragraph to grab your readers’ attention.
Use specific textual support from the short story in the body of your paper.
Finish with a strong conclusion that summarizes your main points, restates the thesis in some way, and possibly returns to the initial “hook.”
Proofread for errors in spelling, grammar, and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and sentence length to add interest.
2-3 APA formatted references
Times New Roman 12 Point double spaced font, no additional space between paragraph.
