  Critique Leatha story post and Corrins home sweet home and suggest revisions for the creative work; do not copyedit it. Your job in the workshop process is not to hunt down misspellings and bad grammar. That is entirely on the writer’s shoulders. Instead, look for matters of substance in which the change will impact the quality or direction of the short story, paragraph, poem, or screenplay.   

  Be honest and constructive in you critique. Avoid using language in your critique that does not get directly to the point. Do not be apologetic, overly positive, or vague. “Nice job!” or “This is a great story!” are ineffective, even as means of praise. Instead, if a story does have a positive impact on you, or if you see effective use of writing elements, take the time to identify them and   explain why. Conversely, if you feel that a creative work is not effective, also take the time to explain why. Identify how the work may benefit with specific improvements. Think of yourself as a neutral voice in the process. Be respectful while ensuring that your critique is both helpful and actionable.

DISCUSSION 2

CREATIVE WORK

Select a short section from your creative work that demonstrates "showing rather than telling" with description and dialogue and post it in your blog. (This should be a single paragraph if you are writing fiction or nonfiction, a single stanza if you are writing a poem, or a single section of description or dialogue if you are working on a screenplay.)

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Using examples from the piece of text you posted, explain how you achieved a "showing" approach to your work. For example, is there a word, phrase, or sentence that you feel works particularly well?

Ratio-  

The ratio analysis involves calculating the financial performance of a company by using five basic types of ratios: profitability, liquidity, activity, debt, and market. However, the three main categories of ratios include profitability, leverage and liquidity. Each ratio may assist in making the most beneficial financial decisions for the institution.

The liquidity ratios assess a company's ability to pay their debt obligations and its margin of safety through calculating metrics which include the current ratio, quick ratio, and operating cash flow ratio. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. It gives an idea of how much of the company may be converted into cash within the next twelve months in order to pay its debts. This is normally used in the measurement of the liquidity of a and current liabilities line items on a company's balance sheet. For example, a company with a high current ratio is in less risk.

The profitability ratio appraises the amount of gross profit that is generated from sales. It tells how good a company is at making profit. The return on assets is the key to verify the efficiency in using the company’s assets to produce income. The formula of Net Income divided by the average stockholder’s equity equals the return on stockholder’s equity. This measures the percentage of income derived for the owners' equity. Another is the profit margin ratio. It tells how much the company earns in comparison to its sales.

The leverage ratio challenges to show the cash flow that is relative to interest owed on long-term liabilities. It tells how much debt the company is using to keep the company running and stay alive. The formula for calculating financial leverage states: Leverage = total company debt/shareholder's equity. To establish this calculation: we must indicate the company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), then divide them by the interest expense of the long-term debts. Another example is the debt ratio, it states how much percentage of the company’s assets are paid by debt. The purpose is to maintain the ration low.
