Hi, need to submit a 1500 words essay on the topic Emma: Portrait of Racial Confusion through Biracial Experience.

One of her first experiences in Harlem left her feeling compassion that brought her to tears, but unable to explain this to her father. The isolation that Emma feels because of the racial ambiguity leaves her questioning her place in society.

Emma describes her life from her perspective. The one person she is most attached to is absent from her life as he is now a vegetable. The word vegetable is used to describe the vegetative state that her brother Bernie is in because of an accident. Bernie is the one person that she can identify with because of the way in which they share racial components in their looks. Furthermore, she looks up to Bernie because he has advantages that she doesn’t really think that she has developed. She also thinks of him as her anchor in the world. She describes this when she talks about how after they have moved and she has her own room she feels as if without him sleeping in the bunk bed above her that she “had nightmares of the house blowing down” (Raboteau 11). Once he is no longer mentally there for her, she becomes a bit unfettered.

The importance of Bernie becomes more poignant after he returns from his experiences with the Million Man March in Washington. Bernie was being mentored by an associate of his father, a professor who saw the potential racial identity that was growing in Bernie. Bernie was embracing the African American side of his cultural experience. When he returned from the March, Emma felt a separation that was between them through his identification with the ‘black’ culture. The fact that he understood his association to that identity as he said “We were light…like we weighed nothing, and we were lifting up” (Raboteau 18).

  3. Select the correct option based on Barry’s strengths and weaknesses as revealed by your analysis.-Select-IIIIIIIVVItem 16
    1. The firm’s days sales outstanding is more than the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well above the industry average so sales should be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company’s profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry – net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an above average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    2. The firm’s days sales outstanding is comparable to the industry average, indicating that the firm should neither tighten credit nor enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company’s profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry – net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in a below average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    3. The firm’s days sales outstanding ratio is more than twice as long as the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets decreased, or both. While the company’s profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry – net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    4. The firm’s days sales outstanding is more than twice as long as the industry average, indicating that the firm should loosen credit or apply a less stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company’s profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry – net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    5. The firm’s days sales outstanding is less than the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets decreased, or both. While the company’s profit margin is lower than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are high compared to the industry – net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
  4. Suppose Barry had doubled its sales as well as its inventories, accounts receivable, and common equity during 2016. How would that information affect the validity of your ratio analysis? (Hint: Think about averages and the effects of rapid growth on ratios if averages are not used. No calculations are needed.)-Select-IIIIIIIVVItem 17
    1. If 2016 represents a period of supernormal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be distorted and a comparison between them and industry averages will have substantial meaning. Potential investors who look only at 2016 ratios will be well informed, and a return to normal conditions in 2016 could hurt the firm’s stock price.
    2. If 2016 represents a period of supernormal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be distorted and a comparison between them and industry averages will have little meaning. Potential investors who look only at 2016 ratios will be misled, and a return to normal conditions in 2017 could hurt the firm’s stock price.
    3. If 2016 represents a period of supernormal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be accurate and a comparison between them and industry averages will have substantial meaning. Potential investors need only look at 2016 ratios to be well informed, and a return to normal conditions in 2017 could help the firm’s stock price.
    4. If 2016 represents a period of normal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be distorted and a comparison between them and industry averages will have little meaning. Potential investors who look only at 2016 ratios will be misled, and a continuation of normal conditions in 2017 could hurt the firm’s stock price.
    5. If 2016 represents a period of normal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be accurate and a comparison between them and industry averages will have substantial meaning. Potential investors who look only at 2016 ratios will be misled, and a return to supernormal conditions in 2017 could hurt the firm’s stock price.
