Al Smetana, the president of a manufacturing firm Rayburn Unlimited, is considering what to do to deal with Craig Lindley, who misuses company time and resources watching pornography on the Web. In my opinion Al should fire Craig to send a message to other employees not to misuse company time and resources. Additionally, Al’s this action shows his employees that he treats everyone fairly in working condition. Moreover, Al had better help Craig Lindley to overcome the psychological problem for sake of his contribution to the company and to show friendship. Al should fire Craig Lindley for several reasons.
The only way he can demonstrate his feelings is by being angry at the world and mean. He says, “when petitioners came to my desk for information, I snarled at them and felt indescribably happy whenever I managed to make one of them feel miserable” (85). We can see that to the narrator making people feel miserable is a way to get a reaction from them and it is also empowering to have people have such a stronger reaction toward him and the things he does. Throughout the story, we can see that the unnamed narrator of Notes from Underground has trouble communicating with people. We can see this when he invites himself to the party his old school friends were throwing to a person whom he did not even like.
Those other wretches, how they bled and spewed, And one who would have drowned himself for good, — I try not to remember these things now. Let dread hark back for one word only: how Half-listening to that sentry's moans and jumps, And the wild chattering of his broken teeth, Renewed most horribly whenever crumps Pummelled the roof and slogged the air beneath — Through the dense din, I say, we heard him shout "I see your lights!" But ours had long died
Stradlater, Holden’s roommate, shows phoniness by how he is a “secret slob” also how it annoys Holden to where he gets into a fight with Stradlater over his sloppiness with Jane, which leads Holden to alienating him. Stradlater is a secret slob because as Holden says, “Stradlater was more of a secret slob. He always looked all right, Stradlater, but for instance, you should have seen the razor he shaved himself with. It was always rusty as hell and full of lather and hairs and crap” (35). This is showing Stradlater is a secret slob because he appears all right on the outside, but once someone gets to know him, they know he is slob.
Miner makes subtle comedic reference to the classic stereotype of doctors having atrocious handwriting when he writes, "write them down in an ancient and secret language." He also describes shaving in a way that portrays the act as barbaric and self mutilating, "scraping and lacerating the surface of the face with a sharp instrument." Americans are seen by the author as private and secretive about their bodies and various bodily functions. He makes the observation that when they are in the "Latispoh" (Hospital) they are stripped of all dignity and control of their own bodies. Miner talks about how he finds it illogical for patients to completely trust thaumaturge when they have taken their privacy and may kill them with their treatment.
Simon became inarticulate in his efforts to express mankind's essential illness." (Golding 89) Eventually, Jack prevails as the leader of an anarchic type society where rules and laws are not required except where the leader irrationally directs. The symbol of authority, the conch, is fittingly destroyed at this point in the novel and Ralph discovers what Simon was trying to say. The beast did not exist in the beginning but was created by the boys in their acts of savagery and
“Grendel came gliding, / girt with God’s anger,” (637). In using these words Grendel can be pictured as in human beast. There are further points made within the poem that show he is disgusting, “slash at the flesh, /bit through bones, /and lapped up the blood/ that gushed from veins/ as he gorged on gobbets,” (665-667). With this quote it’s very vivid what kind of monster he is seen as in the kingdom. It’s very one sided as the reader will discover there is no background information on Grendel and a reason for his actions.
(Of course all follows from his discovery that the polluters, who he thought were small, shabby local firms, are actually owned by rich corporations.) The movie, written and directed by Steven Zaillian, doesn't simplify the issues and make Schlichtmann into a romantic hero. He's more the kind of guy you refer to affectionately as "that poor sap." We hear what he hears: the emotion in the voice of one of the mothers (Kathleen Quinlan) who asks him to take the case because "all we want is somebody to apologize to us." And the heartrending story of how one of the boys died, told by his father (David Thornton) in details so sad that Schlichtmann is very deeply moved--which is, perhaps, not the best thing for his
So it's no small irony that this week, Medved used his elevated stature to criticize the man who brought him to the party. In a Wall Street Journal column entitled "Obama Isn't Trying to 'Weaken America'," Medved takes aim at those who think Obama's "bad policies" are a reflection of a "bad man." He singled out Limbaugh for asserting, "I think we face something we've never faced before in the country -- and that is, we're now governed by people who do not like the country. There's no question that payback is what this administration is all about, presiding over the decline of the United States of America, and doing so happily." Citing a quote from John Adams etched in the state dining room mantelpiece at the White House -- "I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it.
Other characters also help build a picture of Birling in the opening section. Eric's defense of the workers brings about a vicious verbal attack from Birling which pours scorn on Eric's lack of business experience and reveals his bitter feeling towards "public-school-and-Varsity" education. Priestley suggests he resents the advantages enjoyed by his son's generation and this helps the audience understand why later Eric says that Mr Birling is "not the kind of father a chap would go to when hes in trouble". At this point, Priestley has provided a picture of a self-important man who places his faith in technology and industry, who believes he can enjoy the rewards granted by the community while declaring that community spirit is "nonsense" and that a man has to "mind his own business and look after himself and his own". Yet Eric, at this start of the Inspector's chain of events' has already challenged his father's views, and later Sheila will do the same by recognising a shared humanity with the
