Cast Member at Chuck E. Cheese Essay

My senior year in high school I worked as a cast member at Chuck E. Cheese. As a cast member, my main job duty was to make sure that every guest had a wonderful time. My job responsibilities were birthday party hostess, cashier, kid check, make magic, maintain the prize counter and other duties that every cast member had to do. My work experience at CEC shares many parallels with the ideals described in the job characteristic model. The perception that my work was meaningful, the amount of responsibilities associated with my job and the knowledge of the results of my effort were big motivators for me at work. The skill variety at CEC is unmatched by any job I have ever worked before in life. A cast member, especially a party hostess, had to use a variety of skills and abilities in order to complete job-related task. Each party hostess had to possess a likeable, high energy personality and some type of interpersonal skills. I loved that characteristic of my job. The fact that there was never a dull moment as a birthday host because I always had something to do was a big motivator for me. On one particularly Saturday in January, I was assigned to host a birthday party for a girl named Jasmine who was turning five years old. I greeted Jasmine, her mother and a few other party guest at the door. Before I could open my mouth to tell Jasmine Happy Birthday, she was already telling me its my birthday! with the cutest smile on her face. Just by Jasmines reaction, I knew that this would be a fun party to host. Jasmines mother, Crystal gave off a very nervous and stressed vibe. After I was done explaining the schedule of the party to Crystal, she told me that majority of her guest would not be able to make it and that Jasmines father was in Iraq. While Crystal...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
