Little about me
My name is Dustin Harmon and I am 31 years old. I am certified to teach physical education K-12 and that is what I would love to do. I currently do not teach, I am not about to find a job. I currently work for engineering firm traveling around country inspecting Wal-Marts. An interesting fact about me is I have 2 wonderful girls and wouldn't trade them for 2 boys. Thats interesting because most guys say they want boys. I am taking this class because this is my final class to recieve my degree and I am so excited for that.

Hi Dustin -
ReplyDeleteIf I were to guess, you were from NY? LOL - call it intuition.
I read "At the Top of His Game" by Stephan Rhodes because that caught my eye and made me wonder what his game actually was. Mark Barston was a 36 year old man that worked on Wall Street and did some trades. He was in a rough time in his life by living up to high society expectations, battling through work and trying to manage his marriage. Mark had hard time with office politics but he seamed to use his tactics to overcome situations just in the nick of time. Because his work was so demanding and he had a passion for what he did his marriage was falling every minute. Work was getting in the way, and trying to live and act like someone he is not is very difficult. Th one this I kind of liked about the story was the author left things unresolved and it makes me want to read more. He leaves ideas and situations out there for wondering and me being curious to take over.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading "The Maltease Falcon", I think that Mark and Sam had same ideas and thoughts about thier work. They wanted to do the best thing for thier work and give it thier best, which makes them both strong with thier jobs. MArk and Sam both liked to take control of situations. In both stories thier co workers played a part, Mark had searches done about his rival and Sams partner was murdered. Having these two stories and comparing them, to me they were pretty similar to one another
