Most of the time, unethical business practices remain strong in the business world because of the culture that exists within companies. In this film, the sudden demands from management forced employees to become irrational and commit unethical business practices. In fear of losing their jobs, employees were pressured to increase sales despite possible ethical

Based on the storyline that comes out of this is that the “haves” are willing to work together with the “have-nots”. It depicts that the unfortunate situation of the poor, ridicule the opulent lifestyle of the rich in the film. The movie tries to make a point that everyone and everything has its price.

The title of Wallace Stevens poem, "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," is misleading, because he does not only offer thirteen ways of looking at blackbird, but the poem offers us many insights on how humans think.

They use many poetic conventions to explain their poem 's ideas, both writers use a blackbird to compare to humans and human nature, and imagery plays a big role in getting across their points.
