Somedays I wake up with uncertainty of what my day will be like or what I want to do with my future. We as human being often tend to disagree with our superior and have mixed feelings about someone with authority. From adolescent to our adult time frame, we tend to think we “know it all”, however it is our hormones, emotions, and our choice of friends are what gets in the way of our decisions. Focusing on disagreements between Lengel and Sammy because I think it connects to me from previous personal experience with my boss I can relate to Sammy. I think Sammy have lack of respect for authority and so do I, because I think adults are very old school as in how to dress, always be obedient even if they’re wrong, always cover your body especially
Atticus Finch is head of the throne over Joe Gargery of Great Expectations and Chlomo Wiesel of Night. I believe that Atticus Finch is an astoundingly well adjusted father for many reasons. First of all, he was a single parent that managed to make time for Jem and Scout, his two children. He is also a courageous, generous, forgiving, and honest man. Atticus Finch is a single parent working an exceptionally hard job to bring in enough income to pay his maid and supply the needs for his children. He is away most of the day at the courthouse defending his clients. Although his job sometimes required long hours, he still made time to read to his daughter at bedtime and pass a ball with his son.Therefore, Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird is the better father over Joe Gargery of Great Expectations and Chlomo Wiesel of Night because of his courageousness, generosity, forgiveness, and honesty.
When I was a child, I used to believe that the only thing I knew was what my parents told me, and that they couldn’t be wrong. However growing up I found out that not everything was true and that what they were doing was protecting me from harmful things in the world. However the older I get the more I realize that there are many things in the world that I haven’t seen yet. The same goes with Sammy from the short story A&P, when Sammy wants to know more about what's happening in the world.
Sammy notices how all of the customers also act like sheep, which gets on his nerves.The next paragraph shifts to the next character, Sammy's co-worker, Stokesie. Stokesie is twenty-two, married, and has two children. Even though Stokesie plays a small part in the story, I believe that Updike included this character for a reason. This story isn't only based on calling people "sheep", but also has to do with "change." Change plays an important part in our life. We were all once little kids, small and naive. As a kid, we didn't know any better but to do exactly what we were told. We become prone to following "orders" without knowing whether they are good or bad. Gradually, we become knowledgeable about the difference between "right and wrong." Through experience, we develop into a better person. With knowledge and experience, we learn to excel. However, some people are still stuck in the past because they haven't learned anything. Sammy knows what he wants to do and be. He doesn't want to work at A & P for the rest of his life. Sammy isn't the type of person who would simply follow, he has his own ideas and believes in what he stands up for. Sammy doesn't seem like the guy who would praise Stokesie, and Sammy didn't mention anything positive or negative about Stokesie. Since Stokesie is young
To begin with, Sammy shows a rude attitude through the story. He indicates little regard for other people’s age or knowledge. To illustrate, Sammy asserts the old aged customer, who reprimands Sammy for scanning her item two times while he is gawking at the girls, is “a witch about fifty … [who] would have burned her over in Salem” (Updike 320). Sammy’s despise toward this old lady—in fact shoppers—is perceptible. Also, when Sammy quits A&P, he talks discourteously to his manager Lengel. The readers soom comes to discover that Lengel is a friend of Sammy’s parents. Lengel attempts persude Sammy from making his rash decision, pointing out that he does not want to do to this to his
Act Two Then the conflict is right after that, when Lengel notices the three girls standing there to checkout Lengel’s treatment to the girls created some conflict with Sammy: protagonist; however Lengel’s heart was in the right place. Looking out for the town, both males and females, before hormones rage and caused someone to act on a wrong impulse and got someone hurt. Whatever the case may be, Lengel has morals obviously, playing the role of the antagonist and creating obstacles. The rising action I feel like Sammy was more interested in examining and wanting to learn more about Queenie than work, because he couldn’t stay focused. The crisis of act two is when Lengel asks “Sammy, have you rung up
However, she stated that frequently, Mr. Dietrich would insult her. In addition, the mother reported that during arguments the father would, “get in her face.” Mr. Dietrich indicated there were ongoing conflicts between the parents, including argumentative behavior. However, he did not perceive the arguments to be outside the norm of people arguing while in relationships.
Anne and I share many examples of disrespectful behavior. Some are similar, and some are not so similar. Anne and I both have disrespected adults.
Respect- need to discuss openly any similarities and differences in their professional values and standards. Respect is incorporated with trust.
Some studies show that factors such as emotions, personal vulnerabilities, personality, and even the context of situations influence how we make decisions. There are also many of the non-rational factors that affect our decisions. In this case study Alice has personal and social concerns in order to make a right decision; If Alice talks with Mr. Stevens about his inappropriate remarks there is a possibility that he gets angry and upset and as a result fires Alice. If Alice talks with Mr. Dobbs, she fails to follow the organizational hierarchy and communication will flaw. In addition, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Dobbs are good friends and may be it won’t help to solve the problem. And finally, if she doesn’t do anything, it may be beneficial for her and save her
The author says,” The Major did not discuss it with him again but he set the wheels in motion.” (154-156) The Major acted like a guardian, and the kids disagree of what he was acting like. Because the kids do not, know him to be trusted of, should they go for the better, or not.
From an early age we are taught to respect our parents and elders decisions whether they are right or wrong. In this story, Sarty debates whether or not he
And so there was the inevitable confrontation between the dean and the student ... between the adult and the adolescent ... and it happened in the presence of a few of his friends. It was a showdown that was a miss-match from the outset, but perhaps not by the student. In an uneven setup such as this the student always loses, or so it is perceived. After all, the smart ones realize this disadvantage and back down. Comply; but not him. There was a sudden display of authority ... of power. His look was one of surprise and shock! Eyes glared with anger and disbelief. No words were exchanged. He turned around and left the scene, walking away in a fit of rage. He fled the campus. Home was scores of miles away and I
What transpires next for Sammy is he will peregrinate home to his parents with lamentable news about his job. His parents will be disappointed in him because he made a rash decision without understanding the consequences. Sammy's manager, Lengel, verbally expressed that he did not desire to do this to his mom and dad. Sammy probably utilized this mazuma from working to avail his parents. Now he's going to feel this for the rest of his life; because after having a conversation with his parents, Sammy will go back to the shop and ask for his job back and Lengel will reluct to rehire him. From this point on, Sammy will become homeless because he couldn't contribute to the bills since he bailed on his
In schools all over the world, students are supposed to follow the rules put into action for a better atmosphere within the school. Although most of students follow the rules, some decide not to and be mean to their fellow peers. Here at Groves, students have a choice to follow the Groves’ House Rules which emphasize respect and responsibility. Groves’ students are expected to respect each other, in fact; Groves has a zero bully tolerance policy. In the books Does My Head Look Big in This by Abdel-Fattah and Parrot in the Oven by Victor Martinez both main characters experience judgments.
Please describe a recent conflict you have had and how 1) you handled the conflict (which approach did you use), 2) what was the result, and 3) what would you have done differently. I recently shifted some leadership roles in my department. Although the individuals who were hired for their positions felt they were ready for the new responsibilities, they did not take into account how being a recent graduate with limited supervisory experience would play into the difficulties of supervising peers. Also, they did take into account how the decisions they made based off their feelings as a previous student and not data driven or best practices would affect the overall team. Because of the new relaxed supervising style the student employees began to not do their job, started coming in late and were even allowed to change their work schedules without assessing how the decision would affect the whole
