Gwendolyn, your discussion post for this weak was very interesting to me. I like when you stated that ‘A SWOT analysis should roadmap the purpose for business and aid in the decision-making process’. A company SWOT analysis should show its purpose and how to analyze and look at all areas of the organization and then develop a plan for the organization ( Parnell, 2014). Gwen it also is very helpful to know what the word SWOT means. SWOT means threats, weakness, strength, and opportunities. SWOT involves composing a list of weakness and strengths for a business that pertain to a project and then look at the threats from the outside of the company and how it will impact the company. Gwendolyn is also is very helpful to a business to
Jeannette’s various strengths helped her survive her treacherous childhood. One of her strengths was her curiosity. Her curiosity drove her to explore the world, and discover new things. She enjoyed exploring in the desert and in Welch with her brother, Brian. Jeannette’s desire to explore caused her to become a reporter. She wanted to be one of those people that knew what was going on. When Jeannette knew she wanted to become a reporter she stated, “I decided I wanted to be one of the people who knew what was really going on” (pg. 204). Another one of Jeannette’s strengths was her confidence. Her confidence gradually blossomed throughout the book, as her adversity caused her to mature and quickly grow up. Jeannette’s confidence was

In Maycomb, Alabama, Mayella Ewell accused an African American man, Tom Robinson with allegations of rape. Mayella was powerful back in the 1930 because of the Jim crow laws, considering that she was a white woman. Although Mayella was so poor that she lived behind the town dump. Mayella was just about as poor as the African Americans, it quotes “White people wouldn't have anything to do with her because she lived among the pigs.” ("DBQ: Is Mayella Powerful?" 21). That explains that Mayella could not afford to live and also have many of the things she wanted. On the other hand, Mayella was an white woman going to court against an African American man.
Gwendolyn Stitch is living a facade. Appearing like she has it all together, she graces the office with a shiny veneer. In true form, she has taken it upon herself to be the office party planner and generously bring pastries for afternoon breaks on Wednesdays and Fridays. Gwendolyn is a friend to all and will mask all the anxiety pent up inside her to aide you in your more trivial issue. “Gwendolyn Stitch’s door is always open to all of us…because her door is always open she hides and cries in a stall in the women’s room” (Orozco, 1995, page 5). Her character is important as it addresses the role of a lot of women in the work place, overextending themselves, taking on a lot of extracurricular tasks, all while not taking care of herself. Gwendolyn doesn’t believe that she can be vulnerable in her would place, and she would be right. As her co-worked expressed “She does not let any of this interfere with her work. If it interfered with her work, she might have to be let go.” (Orozco, 1995, page 5). There is a satire approach to Gwendolyn’s character that addresses corporate America prioritizing production over the mental and emotional health of employees.

This passage, describing Nancy’s death, does not allow the reader to forget how society has failed Nancy. Because she had no one but Fagin to care for her as a child, she has not been able to live properly, as Rose has; even though she exhibits the same core of kind-heartedness as Rose. The description of Nancy’s “feeble strength" emphasizes her lack of power in society because of her gender; her freedom is so limited that she is barely able to pray (444). This passage is also striking in the violence that it sketches, which is meant to, disturb greatly and did so very well. It is in this brutality that Dickens’s humanity has abandoned
