I need to invent a new product or business idea for entrepreneurship class and develop a business plan. Can you help. Something simple and useful...

One
simple service that may or may not exist in a given community is a shopping and errand service
for senior citizens.  The largest generation in recent history is the baby boomer generation,
and that generation is getting  old.  Many would welcome such a service.

I
think there is a huge, untapped market for a few reasons.  Traditionally, one's children helped
senior citizens with things like this, but today, it is more typical for one's children to be
living in other areas or to be far too busy working to attend to this.  Senior citizens who live
in senior citizen communities may have available a transport service to shop or see doctors, but
not everyone wants to do his or her own shopping and errands. 

What are the
elements you must consider in a business plan? The overhead for such an operation would be very
low.  For example, marketing could consist of leaving flyers in neighborhoods with aging
populations, at supermarkets, dry cleaners, etc., or in the lobbies of senior citizen
highrises.  Word of mouth would probably be good once the service got going.  Many errands could
be done with a bicycle, for example, picking up prescriptions or going to get a bag of flour or
sugar.  Even using a car, for the most part, this would be a very neighborhood-oriented
business, so gas costs would not be great, particularly if one could combine errands in a
community or for a high-rise.  Little capital would be needed to get started: a car or a bike,
and some printing costs, although flyers can now be produced at home by anyone.  I would say
that an urban target market would be the best starting point, to create an efficient operation
without high fuel costs and less investment in time.  Price-setting and wage-setting are
something that you would have to calculate based upon your particular geographic area, based
upon what the market will bear, but when calculating wages, you will want to consider that most
people using such a service are likely to tip and that poor people tend to tip more generously
than wealthy people.  The structure of your business is likely to be rather flat, with a group
of people responsible for deliveries and one person in charge to coordinate and put out any
fires. 

I think that covers all of the basic elements that you must consider
in a business plan, and honestly, it would be wonderful to see something like this in my own
neighborhood. 

In this story, why slavery and education are incompatible.

Slavery and
education are incompatible inbecause as slaves become educated they gain the tools necessary to
free themselves.  The ability to read and write gives slaves the ability to write themselves
passes and escape...

In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, there was a friend of Elie's that played music while everyone was dying in the snow, who was the friend?

You are correct
that it was Juliek, a tiny
young Polish boy--who recognized that he would not survive the death

march--begins to play Beethoven on the violin.  It is a marked contrast to the situation
they
are in, and to the main character/author; this makes it all the more
beautiful.

It is a very short section of the book, which
is cut off abruptly when Elie awakens to
find young Juliek dead, his violin
smashed to pieces.  It is perfect symbolism of the
hopelessness of their
situation, and Juliek had accepted this hopelessness, deciding to exit the

world in the most beautiful way that he could.

How is Hawthorne's theme of "be true" developed through the character of Roger Chillingworth in The Scarlet Letter?

McKinstry Rose

Whiledoes advance one of the novel'sof integrity, he does not always stay
"true" himself to the theme. Below are some examples of both sides of hisin regards to
being true.

Affirmative: Chillingworth is honest withabout what he intends to
do to(or the father ofbefore he knows his identity).  One could also argue that Chillingworth
does not truly hide his motives from Dimmesdale. ...

What is a specific instance in "The Black Cat" when a character experiences remorse?

The
first thing that comes to mind when looking for remorse in is when the
narrator hangs Pluto. After he hangs the cat, he says that he experienced
"a half-sentiment that seemed, but was not, remorse", but...

How do Jem and Scout change during the course of the novel? How do they remain the same? I really need help for my English essay >m< And thank you...

who change in a
significant way over the course of a story are called dynamic . Just like people in real life,
characters dont change easily. It usually takes some sort of difficult experience or event to
change us.

and s character change is evident at the end of the story. On
page 279 of the Warner Books paperback, Scout says to the reader,

was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes
and walk around in them.

Here, the author is repeating a
phrase that Atticus said earlier in the story. At that time, Scout did not understand what he
meant. Now as a result of her experience, she does. This is an important change.

Finally, in the last several paragraphs, Scout speaks to Atticus about , saying with a
kind of soft surprise, Atticus, he was real nice.

For Scout to say this
about Boo signals a momentous change. She and Jem have spent the entire book in terror of Boo,
imagining all sorts of horrible things about him.

Writers often show
character change in just this way. Establish an idea, let it run through the story, then show
how the characters' attitudes toward this idea change.

In 1984, when Winston said to Julia, "You're only a rebel from the waist downwards," what did he mean?

rebels
against the physical privations that come with being an outer Party member. Inner Party members
enjoy all sorts of privileges denied to the rank and file, such as good coffee, wine and nice
apartments. Julia rebels against the puritanical hypocrisy of the system by having sex with men
who can offer her the comforts she wants, including sex, but also consumer goods, such as make
up. Unlike , she is not concerned with the nature of truth or the nature of reality. She doesn't
really care if the Party says two plus two equals five or whether or not the Party invented the
airplane. She simply wants to have some pleasure in her life (and part of this includes the
sense of victory that comes with beating the system) so that she can experience something beyond
an endless round of toil, cheap gin, and rage. 

While Winston's statement
sounds like a put down, in fact, he admires her pragmatism, and it is important to remember that
without her know-how, she and Winston would never have gotten together. She approaches him and
arranges the first meeting. She gets them luxuries like real coffee. 

In the
end, she and Winston fall in love, and she embraces his idea of joining the Brotherhood and
rebelling in a more overtly political way against the Party.
