...In the short story The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter describes of older women about the age of eighty years old, who is facing her death bed. Granny Weatherall tends to think nothing is wrong with her and denial about basic truth of her life. She hates how Cornelia is humoring her and treat her like she’s old, dumb and blind. When Granny Weatherall remembers lighting the lamps when her children were younger, she recalls how the darkness scared the kids, and when she light the lamps, the children were no longer scared. I believe the lighting the lamps related to how the children are no longer young and that they won’t need Granny Weatherall as they would, if they were younger. So the children, nor Granny Weatherall are...

For example, “Reinventing the wheel” is applied by thinking it is an important tool but in reality it is a waste of time and other resources. Problem: The company waste its resources. Starting from scratch To start from scratch means starting from the very beginning of the matter, to start from nothing or start at the beginning with no advantage. Usually people use the term starting from scratch is when something previously planned failed on practice but seems good on plan. For this kind of things if they believe that the goal can be achieved and the error was caused on the method they have followed they will start the process from the beginning which they imply the term Starting from scratch. Problem: The company could have saved resources that were wasted, by applying others experience. Doing the same thing again and again People are scared of trying new things and because of that most organizations are forced to do things again and again or fear of change and the unknown are reasons people resist...

...He started by introducing himself as a rapper from the south side of Chicago and told us about some of the performances he had done. It was very clear that he has become successful and wasn’t just a want-to-be rapper. Right away I could tell that this wasn’t going to be boring and that he was cool. Muse started to say it was a workshop and he teaches a lot of workshops like this. When I heard that, I was scared. I was also scared when he said we would have to do a poem at the end. After hearing that, I was starting to dread it all over again. I was prepared to just sit and listen, not to participate. With that said, it scared me even more when he would make direct eye contact with me and ask me to participate because I really didn’t want to. As the workshop went on, people started to relax and lighten up. This made me less scared and made me start enjoying the workshop a bit. Muse’s techniques were interesting. The lists and stories were something I had never done and I like that they made you think about and recall a story in detail. I had never been taught poetry like that and if I had been taught like that, I may have liked it from the...

...Does it make you think of the Dominos social media crisis of 2009? It sure made me think of it! As I watched in anticipation last night, to see how Taco Bell would respond and reassure their customers, I went to bed with little hope that they actually knew what they were doing – that they had actually prepared and pre-planned for this type of predictable crisis situation. Is this actually a crisis situation? I speak often of the differences between a social media crisis and a social media issue. So is this situation that Taco Bell has found themselves in a social media crisis? Well, let’s see… Does the situation risk having a negative impact on their reputation? Yes. Does the situation risk having a negative impact on their bottom line? Yes (especially if they don’t respond and react accordingly) Does the situation risk having a strong negative emotional impact on stakeholders? Yes. Does the situation have a high-risk potential of going viral? Yes, especially since it already has! So, yes, for the reasons listed above, Taco Bell is facing a real, live social media crisis. How did Taco Bell fare in their online crisis communications? Although I believe that they were quick to learn about the situation, and possibly even quick to react, nothing was really made public. (Again, this makes me think of the Domino’s social media crisis of 2009.) They posted the below message to the news release section on their website – only thing is that the majority of their...

You would be able to make the most of what is left of your life and spend it all up to the last second you have left. You could use the time to spend time with your family and do fun things for the last time with them. Another reason why I would choose to turn over the paper would be, because I would be prepared to die. You would be ready for it, when you die plus, you could prepare and get ready for it...

...The 9/11 attack was one of the most devastating disasters to happen in America. Many people were shocked and scared that something like this happened. Many bystanders did not know what was going on and how the planes crashing into the World Trade Center was happening. In “The 9/11 Report” there are many images and texts that show why the planes crashing into the world trade center was successful. There is a picture that shows Osama Bin Laden in a interview talking about his hate of America. There is a picture of Muslims almost getting on a boat with explosives. There is also a picture that shows that the government had no clue what was going on when the planes crashed into the world trade center. By the looks of everything it seems that the...

...it. Once the Black Plague died down, most of Europe’s infrastructure was destroyed and it took Europe around 150 years to rebuild. After the Black Death, Europeans were still very much scared. People obviously feared for their lives. Every now and then the epidemic would return and the people did not know why or where it came from. For many, they believed that it was a punishment from God, so they turned to their Bibles and Churches and Priests to try to atone for their sins in the hopes that they would either be spared or cured. Fear of infection also led many people to isolate themselves, which contributed to the chaos following the plague. This fear was rational, however, that rational fear turned to panic, and that panic turned into bizarre practices. People would whip themselves saying it was well deserved punishment from God or others would persecute strangers and minorities by claiming they were witches. The remaining citizens of Europe took up these practices and killed innocent people because someone had to be blamed for the devastating loss. People also began personifying Death because if they couldn’t understand the actual act of death, putting a person to the act was easier to understand and easier to emotionally deal with. Because there was so much death, the plague prepared...

...Cody’s view on the Enlisted Performance Report but I struggled. I had to back track and try to hit points that I had missed. During the briefing is when my déjà vu moment was. It reminded me of my senior year when I would give briefings in my speech class and I would normally just go out there and wing it. I learned that if you want to be a good speaker that you have to rehearse these things. If not I will go out there and get lost in my speech and lose track out where I am due to nerves. The briefings have been the most frustrating for me not because I am scared to talk in front of the class it was because I was unprepared. I have learned that if you want to be a good leader/speaker that you have to be prepared for any situation that is thrown your way. Whether it has to deal with a troop being late for work, a troop with personal problems, or just being able to communicate with your troops. You need to be prepared for the situations mentally and physically to be a good leader. That is what I learned in class last week and I hope to improve myself to become a good speaker and...

...university, telling me that I had a vacant in the University of Richmond. Everything was really fast, I when I realized I was I the plane, alone, flying to the United States. Thousand of thoughts came to my mind… “Did I take the right decision?”, “Do I have to stay at home and start to work, as all my friends are doing?”. However, I was already in the plane, I couldn’t go back! My first stop was in Washington, where I stayed in the house of a friend of my mom. One night I went out with his son, who invited me to a bar where his friends were. When we arrived, I tried to greet their friends with a kiss in the cheek… terrible mistake! Why anybody told me that in this country, it is not use to give kisses?!?! The girl seemed to be shocked, or scared, and the rest looked at me like thinking that I was crazy! And that’s how I learnt my first lesson… you don’t have to distribute kisses all around the world! A few days later, I arrived to Richmond. I couldn’t believe when I saw this place, I felt like in a movie. The campus, with its antique buildings, full of trees and a beautiful lake, it is really different from my home University. Moreover, I knew that my whole lifestyle was going to change. In Argentina, I live with my family, and I go to the University when I have classes, and then I go back home. Living in a campus, having a roommate, eating in a Dining Hall, everything was new to me. The international students arrived one week before the starting of classes. That was great, because...

That Saturday he called us to tell us that he was in Corpus Christi at the time of the storm. We were all really scared because he was on a boat in the middle of a hurricane and we didn´t know what would happen to him. Momma was talking to Daddy about how she saw on Facebook that Pawpaw’s boat sank. I saw her grab her phone suddenly and try to call him. She shook her head and said it went straight to voicemail. She didn’t know that I overheard her and my Father’s conversation, so she went in her room and locked the door. I started to get really worried because I was scared...
