Poetry is one of the oldest forms of literature and bridged the gap between oral storytelling and prose. Poetry can be in countless forms, and it can be structured or unorganized.

The (frustratingly) accurate answer to many questions is “It depends.” That is because he who is answering the question does not want to be inaccurate by lumping together data, and this is a good thing. The answer can always apply to questions about people. One cannot generalize about a group of people and say that every Jewish person is a niggerly penny-pincher or that anyone from the South has an interest in incest. It is just plain wrong. That is also not to say that no Jewish person is stingy and that all Southerners have a disciplined sex life. One cannot create stereotypes from a group of people. David Guterson’s novel Snow Falling on Cedars explores how oversimplifications about people can be harmful to the

As you discussed in your post the Miles and Snow typology appears to consider external factors and the market place environment more appropriately. Best laid out strategic plans can quickly fizzle when met with the ruthless face of reality.

During these times a low-cost strategy might be enacted, however this does not necessarily
