“Where you are is not who you are. That’s a quote from her mom that Ursula Burns CEO of Xerox Corp remembers and lives by day to day. My essay is on Ursula Burns, who started off as an intern at Xerox Corp that eventually rose through the ranks to become the first African American female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. In this essay, I will discuss her career, her business leadership and her many other business strategies. During a talk at the annual awards conference, Burns talked about how her mother, who raised Ursula single, in one of the worst New York City Public Housing Projects, loved to give advice.
It first sets in working class Queens, NY where Isabel and her father lived. She later moves to Ringkill in order to try to reinvent herself. The Novel starts off in a sad tone, but then leads to a state of apathy. The reason for that is because her father dies but she doesn’t seemed to be sad about it, leaving readers questioning how should one feel. Is it a dilemma or not?
Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls. Another example that Mildred should start thinking for herself is she pulled the alarm on her own husband, Montag. Montag did something against the law and Mildred didn't want to get into trouble so as a result of it, "she pulled the alarm" (Bradbury 115). She lost her husband because she listened to the
When she had doubt about Martin she spoke to the priest, her sisters and also Martin’s uncle, but it wasn’t acted upon. Even though she had doubt she still lived with him because she was afraid of the consequences of her admitting that she has accepted a stranger into her home and bed. During the trial when she spoke up about knowing the man she was with wasn’t Martin she did the right thing and come up front with it. Even though she was being just she was the one that was greatly affected by it because the man which was treating her well was executed and the man she was married
Lindsey does not tell him that she is sick so when he asks why she does not want to have a relationship, she says, “I’m feeling things, too. And that part of me wants to go with those feelings. But right now, I just don’t know if I can. It’s complicated Chris.” (201). Lindsey only tells her closest friend about the disease and even though Lindsey is the one who is dying she only cares about her friend and how sad she must be.
Throughout her memoir, Jamison kept an idea of unity—between herself and friends, colleagues, and family—and persistence. Had her brother gone and acted like her sister (writing off her prescription to lithium as nothing more than being weak) and not checked in on her, the world only knows what other type of things she might have done while in a manic or depressive fit. She could have been bankrupt and broke had he not stepped in and helped with the aftermath of her manic phases, as well as their mother. “She cooked meal after meal for me during my long bouts of depression, helped me with my laundry, and helped pay my medical bills…Without her I never could have survived.” (p.118-9) From her first husband and their lasting friendship and her second, to her psychiatrist and other in-the-know colleagues, Kay has always had people there to keep an eye
Connie fails to realize the great danger she takes on while over exaggerating her appearance and attitude. Her sister on the other hand conducts herself as a more modest girl and is the ideal vision of a “good” girl. Connie was in constant discord with her family because they did not approve of her actions but she cared less for she continued on with her conceited, selfish ways. "Why don't you keep your room clean like your sister? How've you got your hair fixed—what the hell stinks?

She proves how corrupted the Puritan society is. The actions of what they did to her make us feel sympathy towards her, but Hester shows that she is a woman of her words. “It lies not in the pleasure of the magistrates…that should speak a different purport.” (155; ch.14) Even though Chillingworth tells her that they’re thinking about taking the Scarlet Letter off, Hester declines and choose to wear it until it would fall of its own nature. Or until she felt in her heart that it was time. It’s like after a long days of work, when you’re at home and you take those shoes off, you feel this relief and weight taken off from your shoulders.
She then goes onto talking about herself and how she ‘coulda made something’ of herself and that she only married Curley on the rebound. This then starts to make the reader feel sorry for her and rethink their opinion of her. She then continues to say ‘I don’t like Curley, he aint a nice fella’ which creates even more empathy toward her from the reader.
