Do you think that it is a bit ironic that the best information that Adam has received while Adam was from a homeless man who gets a new job every week? If so, why do you think Adam listened to him?
-It is ironic, and does pay off for Adam. He listened to the homeless guy, because after he thought about what the man was saying, it just hit him that he needed to be persistent.
Where do you think Adam conjured up the confidence to give a long speech to Curtis McNeil?
-Adam did not plan his 'speech' or anything of that matter, it was all spontaneous. I think that he was sick of getting turned down and just unleashed his frustration onto Curtis. This surprisngly worked, and thus led to Adam getting hired.
What do you think convinced Curtis of hiring Adam at Fast Mover?
-Adam says "I'm pretty much the hardest working guys you're going to find in Charleston." He also says that he has the best work ethic out of all of Curtis' guys. Then to sum up his speech he says that he will work one day for free, so that Curtis could have the opportunity to see how he works. Adam showed that he was very dedicated to getting the job and sustaining the job, so he was in fact hired.
On page 102, Leo said that there are three types of people, do you agree with his classification of people? If not why, if so why?
- This classification is somewhat accurate, but to every opinion there are always exceptions. I disagree with his classification because some that go to school, end up still in poverty. Also in his third statement, he says lazy people that do no do anything with their lives, he doesn't take in to account that some people are born in to poverty and do not have chances to work their way out.
