Some are born into the sweet delight of life filled with hope and happiness, while others are destined to live a prolonged night, consumed with agony and despair.[Hook] Gothic Literature is largely influenced by the life the author utilizing the genre has lived. Edgar Allan Poe had one of the most profound impacts on Gothic literature, one that many would replicate. Poe was born to a father he never knew, and a mother who died when he was three years of age.

According to the article, leader’s performance expectations positively affect the quality of their relationship with their followers, and their treatment of their followers falls in line with this. For example, if a leader has high expectations of a follower, this will translate to greater support and guidance for that follower. This is in line with LMX theory (Leader-Member Exchange), which focuses on the relationship development between the leader and the follower. Higher expectations are coupled with higher levels of trust and respect between the leader and the follower, placing them in the in-group of the leader.

Not much to say about my childhood. I was always sick so i could never leave the house. Didn’t have many friends to hang out with. I just read books or played board games by myself. I guess I might have felt as if I might disappear. I mean the attention in my family is all directed towards my sister for the most part. And the divorce keeps my parents busy bickering. With friends I kind of just hang in the background as everyone else talks. At social gatherings i tend to get left out so i just sit by myself. I don’t tend to get noticed much. A phony thing people do that annoys me is pretending to be nice or caring when they could care less about you. Life is completely a game and if you don’t play by the rules then you’ll lose at life. 90 percent
