Action: Obstacle to Outcome
04/23/09
Research II
Action: The action in this scene is that I want her to step back over the line because she needs to understand it is the right thing to do it, and she's the only one not listening/breaking the rules. I want her to feel some sympathy for me and that I might lose my job, or have other bad things happen, and I want her to understand that she needs to get back over, before I get screwed over.

Obstacle: The obstacle is that she doesn't want to comply with my authority, and she wants me to leave so she can deface the statue, she'll manipulate me to get her way.

Tactics: The character uses what he thinks is his authority as someone who works there at first, when that doesn't work, he transforms his tactic to try to make her feel sorry for him as he has a second job and would get stuck writing a report, he also makes some jokes in order to make her feel he's friendly, she should step back.

Arc: He changes his action, he wants her to leave, but when he finds she won't, and her convincing view on art, he ends up just wanting her number, and pretends ignorance.

Personalization: I relate to my character in that in my past I have sometimes felt awkward and shy when talking to people, especially girls. I felt like I was making a fool of myself when I would talk to them. I can also relate in the fact that I really don't want to get into trouble specifically when I was working last summer, I got a little into trouble for talking with a friend who had stopped by when my supervisor was at lunch. She went into the back with me for a minute because I had to grab something for her and she wasn't supposed to be there during working hours. I got into only a little bit of trouble, but it's not something that makes you look or feel good. It gives you the feeling of fear of getting caught doing something wrong. I don't like getting into trouble for things, and I myself would be afraid of getting in trouble or fired in the scene's situation. I don't like to

    The subjects will work it out among themselves, he insists. Watching this movie throughout my life I have come contact with supervisors and member’s management whom have let power corrupt themselves to where they don’t even act as if they are human. This movie shows me that power trippers believe that once given a position of authority, they will get the respect and social status they feel they deserve. People entire attitude toward power, it seems that it plays a major role in how a person will use their authority. This movie was a great example of showing me that power-seekers can be overwhelming, one they know they have power over you they will walk all over you.…

    I am aware that is much easier to agree to something, or make a promise—even if the intention was there from to the start, and not deliver them. Working in Congress is certainly nothing to balk at, or make fun of—but there comes a certain amount of scrutiny when accepting a elected position, but there is a metaphorical line drawn of the calendar to which when the day arrives a give amount of accomplishments should hang proudly on the wall to further motivate individuals to aspire to even more. When your official has chosen, and you think that they are wrong—well you must speak up, and let your voice be heard.…

Employees slacked by not putting in effort and reacted in many ways, all in which being negative: showing lack of initiative, being disrespectful to their boss (Ike), and showing up late for work. In addition, Ike disrespected and used inappropriate language towards an employee by calling him “stupid”, while there were clients in the shop. By committing wrongful deeds, customers left and an employee quit. The company lost money as it was expensive and time consuming to find and train new employees. Another problem in the business was financial records; revenues were low seventeen percent and profits had fallen twenty two percent.
