Within a few minutes the beam of sunlight had caught up with him again and was shining again directly on his eyelids. He lay there, his head in a fog, rubbed his eyes and stared at the white plastered walls trying to determine where he was and even who he was. The brightness of the room overwhelmed him with a fierce intensity. It was a few minutes before his eyes became accustomed to the light. He entertained his semi-waking mind by tracing patterns of the earthy colors on the tapestry that hung on the wall facing him. He rubbed his hands slowly on the bedsheet, felt a smoothness and said to himself, "This

There is no doubt that magic is present in the Snow White fairytale by the Brothers Grimm; in fact, magic remains pretty common through fairytales as a whole. But there may be more magic then originally meets the eye. Some aspects are very easy to pick out either because they are blatantly called magic or they are events or actions that defy physics or common logic.

Lee Cockerell’s first leadership strategy that he outlines in his “Creating Magic” book is taking care of employees. In this instance Cockerell goes into detail on saying that in order to be able to run a very successful company the owners/company itself needs to give respect, appreciation, value, into everyone. He outlines this with his acronym RAVE (respect, appreciation, value, everyone). In doing so, the company will have a lot of loyalty and respect back from its employees. Cockerell implemented this concept with Disney, as Disney has the lowest turnover rate in their industry. By giving employers the RAVE treatment, employees genuinely care about their company because they view that the company cares about them. This method that Cockerell outlined in his speech and in his book is very similar to a leadership theory that we have learned in class this year, called path-goal theory.

In this instance Cockerell was in an executive position with Disney, and he had to make a decision on how to efficiently and effectively run the company through his position. He decided to motivate his employees through compassion. Cockerell was a very compassionate person towards his employees. One of the most significant ways that Cockerell was able to achieve this was with the RAVE method. The RAVE method was able to motivate his employees by giving them purpose in the business which created a

As his stare bore into my eyes, he displayed a frightened expression. The figure was a tall, slender man with fuzzy, chocolate brown hair covering his head and skin as pale as snow. His eyes gleaming in the moonlight were immense and wild. Eventually he looks around, darting his eyes from side to side. Then leans in and whispers to me, “You can prevent it from happening!” With a panicked expression, he glared into my eyes and then I wake up from the

     In Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Jake Barnes is a lost man who wastes his life on drinking. Towards the beginning of the book Robert Cohn asks Jake, “Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you’re not taking advantage of it? Do you realize that you’ve lived nearly half the time you have to live already?” Jake weakly answers, “Yes, every once in a while.” The book focuses on the dissolution of the post-war generation and how they cannot find their place in life.

In That Evening Sun, William Faulkner approaches the story through an anecdotal style that gives meaning to the story. The narrator uses the anecdote that happened to him to convey the story’s underlying meaning that people are restricted by social class and race, not realizing this meaning himself at the time.
