Introduction: George is a 30-year-old, Caucasian, very successful, junior executive in the high-stress and high-powered marketing world. He shares an apartment with his brother and is not in a relationship. George has a very active social life. Almost every night of the week, George can be found at some sort of festivity that is at a bar, club, or restaurant. At these occasions, liquor is present. George often jokes about how he must look like an alcoholic because in most pictures he is holding a drink. In addition, the woman he has begun a flirtation with finds that every time she calls him he is drinking. She thinks nothing of it, since this man must just enjoy one or two social drinks. The fact that he drinks every night does not flag him as an alcoholic in her eyes. They have spoken on the phone scores of times, spent time together and been in constant communication for a two-month period. In addition, he really is such a nice guy. He casually mentions that his mother has asked him to promise not to drink. They laugh about how parents often refuse to view their children as adults. One night before George goes out with his new lady friend, he tells her a few stories. One included waking up one morning after a night of drinking with blood on his shirt. The caveat being he had no idea where the blood came from. On another occasion, upon being shoved by a young woman in a club after drinking for a while, George pushed her back and the woman went flying across the room.
Margaret Atwood in “Wilderness Tips” writes this story with fully omniscient third person point of view from the narrator. In which she structures the story by gives each of the five character their own isolated part of the narrative. She starts with revealing George who is cheating on his wife Portia, with both of her own sisters and multiple other women. She presents George as an hungarian immigrant who is thus an outsider and does not want to conform to order. She uses the idea of savagery vs social norms and the tug and pull between George and his wife throughout the story.

George and Lennie have a unique relationship. This is because anyone of them could walk away from each other at any point but they wont because they need each other. Reasons for this include George being the leader, Lennie being a follower and how this relationship mixes to well. George is Lennie’s leader and anything does Lennie is told to do from George, he does. Lennie doesn’t have any other options so he goes with whatever George tells him to do. “George gestured with his spoon.“ What you gonna say tomorrow when the boss asks you questions?” Lennie stopped chewing and swallowed. His face was concentrated “I…I ain’t gonna… say a word.” “Good boy! That’s fine, Lennie! Maybe you’re getting’ better.” (Page 15). Lennie does not try to argue or
Robert P. George bases his beliefs on that human beings are created within stages and that an embryo is the earliest stage a genetic human can reside in. He claims that since an embryo contains the same genetic constitution and characteristics of a human being, therefore an embryo is human and would not be lawful to eliminate or kill. Though an embryo is on an immature phase of development, it does not mean that there is no genetic relation to humans; “From conception onward, the human embryo is fully programmed, and has the active disposition, to develop himself or herself to the next mature stage of a human being” (Acorns). George believes that since the child is acting on its own interest to survive and maintain itself, then it is a complete or whole organism and should not be killed.
Plentiful libations always set Shirley off about men and needy egos. The vodka on the rocks supplied by her hot-and-bothered gent was gone. She’d drunk way more than she could remember on this mischief-ridden night.
Motivating students to learn is pivotal, especially since it enables him or her to realize that learning is a lifelong journey. For instance, George, a sixth-grade student, doodles and sketches during each day’s 15-minute journal writing period—rarely doing any serious writing. Thus, it is important for George’s teacher to develop a plan that will enable him to realize that writing is crucial in one’s life—personally and professionally. Nonetheless, while establishing the plan, it is important for George’s teacher to consider the following: extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. In fact, it seems that George enjoys and finds doodling and sketching interesting—intrinsic motivation (O’Donnell, Reeve, & Smith, 2012). For that reason, George’s teacher

As she was motioning about some of her drink was sloshing around, spilling out at various points showing a trail of her sporadic movements. I turned to leave, trying to be the bigger man when the old fool dropped her glass half full of punch (probably spiked, by herself) and watched as it shattered around into micrscope pieces. Creating a danger for the bimbo bridesmaid bobbing about, barefoot because none of them could dance in their heels worthy of a hooker to the obnoxious pop music that was the bride’s choice. Not to mention that the sticky blood red liquid splashed up my leg and was seeping into my shoes. The hag then tried to yell and blame me for spilling her drink. That is the point at which the old lady had pushed me past my breaking point. Exasperated, I began to yell “What is your problem lady?” to which my voice drowned out the music and the ladies gyrating next to us stopped and watched. I felt a steel grasp in trap my elbow and yanked me backwards off my feet. Pete stood over me, eyes boring into my soul as I realised who the drunk old hag
