Do you remember your first job? Sometimes it’s an awesome experience and other times it’s an experience one would prefer to forget. I had multiple random jobs throughout my teenage years, but it wasn’t until working as a medical assistant at a local clinic did I considered myself having a “real” job. Coming in on the first day opened minded and thankful for the opportunity for this job, feelings of excitement and nervousness came over me. This job was intended to provide work experience, new skills
1. What are the main themes in this episode? I think one of the main themes in this episode is the sexual expectation of women. One of the first things Joan tells Peggy is to get on birth control. This shows how far the office relationships go. It makes me think that that is the only reason why they have women in the office; is a toy. Another theme is just how the advertising world works. How Don is out at the bar working on a new ad instead of enjoying himself at the bar like everyone else is.

Character, Morals, Integrity Morals, character, integrity, what do these words mean….actually, the question is, do you have them. A man named Dwight Moody once said, “Character is what you are in the dark.” You cannot see your morals, character, or integrity, these are only shown as your values. Someone could only show their own values, which are very important to themselves and everyone else. Integrity is the firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values. The way you show

He underlines that literature nowadays is deficient and

Sling Blade The Complete Review This film by virtue of its independence has shied away from the usual hype associated with American movies. The result is an original screenplay by Billy Bob Thornton that is transformed into a mesmerising tale of the south. Thornton cast actors with ability rather than their image or ‘Hollywood status’. Sling Blade challenges us to re-evaluate our principles and our definitions of right, wrong and of justice. Billy Bob Thornton plays a slightly retarded psychiatric
