    | Mr. Moore, As per your request as to whether Teddy’s Supplies is potentially liable for the harassment charges the answer is “Yes”. Your company is liable for the conduct of your employees. You have a sexual harassment policy in place that was violated. Your employees created a hostile work environment that is clearly stated that “zero-tolerance” will be in place to keep a safe work environment. You also stated in your policy that harassing behavior is prohibited and banned. Although Ms. Pollard never filed a complaint but did mention she was being picked on. Mr. King was way out of line posting a sign that reads “HARDHAT REQUIRED/BRA OPTIONAL”. This type of behavior from management calls for serious reprimanding. Mr. King was quoted telling Ms. Pollard that she needs to “grow some balls” and “get over herself” when she told Mr. King she felt she was being picked on. These are all very serious allegations. Not to mention the truck incident or the slapping her backside incident. You have some stiff charges against the company. The worst case scenario for damages would be monetary and an apology from everyone who offended Ms. Pollard. Ms. Pollard’s attorneys could ask for amounts in the thousands. At least $100,000.00 in damages.…

    As I said previously. I strongly believe on the fact that everybody deserves respect and the worker showed me everything but respect.Accused me a crime I did not commit and kicked me out the store threatening me to call the police. I believe this is an example of race oppression. I'm guessing the assumed norm is white and I didn't meet that criteria which led to the worker attacking me and going off on the basic stereotype that i was going to steal since I was an African American.…

    A moment when I as a writer felt an influence towards my ability to be literate was in my tenth grade English class, reading the novel Fahrenheit 451. Never before had I shown such appreciation and willingness to understand for a school assigned book, in truth my interest with school readings had been deteriorating due to the consistency of papers and assignments.. For years any school readings were easy to understand and majority held interesting tales, yet no piece of literature (even outside school) could manage to make me say “I’m buying this book to put on my shelf and read on my own.” Nothing brought “inspiration” or gave examples of “unique” to myself personally, only the basic sentence structures and dialogue for conversation. In short, I didn’t care how literate I was because I never saw anything to imprint on myself. The only novel I would like to own needs to impact both my mind and if successful my own writing. However, each passing page of Fahrenheit 451 managed to give me that inner meaning that I wanted my own writing to radiate.…
