My boyfriend and I decided to go to Dominican Republic to see my mother in 2015. Everything was amazing except when was time to go home. The airplane that was alleged to bring us home, it was delay to 2 hours. Therefore, my father was waiting for us by he had to work a 7 pm so he called us in said I am sorry but I had to go to my job. I cannot be waiting for you anymore. I told him, it is okay we understand you. At the time, we get out of the airport, we called to everybody and anyone was not able to pick us up. Therefore, I came up with an idea. I told to my boyfriend, I really do not how use Uber but we can try. So, we download the app and in least of 5 minutes the Uber’s service was in the airport.

According to “Uber Business Model Could Change Your Work” by Farhad Manjoo describes, “Uberization will have its benefits: Technology could make your work life more flexible, allowing you to fit your job, or perhaps multiple jobs, around your schedule, rather than vice versa.” This quotes clearly shows that Uber offers flexible job that allow its employers to be involve in other activities even other job.

Taxi companies would like to close the App-On Gap because Uber would no longer have a competitive advantage over taxi companies who already have to carry commercial liability insurance. American Insurance Association, Uber customers the California App-Based Drivers Association and the attorneys for consumers would benefit from closing the App-On Gap because there would be a much lower risk of a company not paying for insurance than there is of a single individual not paying their insurance
Jonathan Kay talks about the flashy Uber app which is kind of silly since with a little more research online, he can find other apps similar to Uber, for example, the ride-sharing app “Lyft”. Kay’s points about Uber seems to be tongue-in-cheek, meaning that it may be understood as
Both 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale are dystopian novels, however, these books are a lot more complex than mere portrayals of dystopia, it can be argued that they are explorations of dystopia rather than mere portrayals. In order to explore dystopia, many themes must be considered, such as; feminism, love and repression. Nonetheless, it is apparent that human characteristics are the driving point of the two novels, predominantly, the depiction of human resilience. In an imperfect world, it is important to have certain qualities which, if plentiful, it can mean success, whereas if it lacks, it can mean failure, this characteristic is resilience. The protagonists in each novel, Winston in 1984 and Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale face situations which leave them both in disarray, and both even consider suicide. The authors tentatively highlight human resilience, its limits and most importantly its strengths into the two novels.

Since 2010, the year Uber was founded, there have been over one hundred attacks, kidnappings, and assaults. Another incident occurred in late 2015, when 26 year old uber driver, Patrick Karajah, beat his passenger with a hammer and drove away. The victim of the assault recalls, "All of the sudden [Karajah] appeared at the door with the hammer and said, 'I told you to get the f*** out of my car,'".

“‘They score! Henderson has scored for Canada!’” Foster Hewitt wordlessly described” (Pelletier) when Paul Henderson scored the series-winning goal. This allowed Canada to win the 1972 Summit Series, a moment that no one would ever forget since it all happened during the climax of the Cold War. Prior to this, the Soviets had won the previous three Olympic gold metals since Canada could not use its NHL players. Thus, this provided Canada with the chance to play hockey against the USSR using its best players. This raised the question: if Canada were able to send its best players, would it still be enough to beat the Soviets? Everyone in Canada was certain that the Soviets would not win a single game, but little did they know they underestimated the extent of the Soviets abilities. Tied in the last few minutes of game eight, Canada had to score or they would lose the series. However, when Paul Henderson scored the game-winning goal, never before had a single sporting event meant so much to Canadians. Therefore, Paul Henderson’s goal is a defining moment for Canada in the twentieth century becauseit provided Canada with the opportunity to evolve hockey, proved that Canada and our democratic society were superior to the USSR and their communist society, and brought citizens together to unify Canada as a nation.
Scott Hightower’s poem “Father” could be very confusing to interpret. Throughout almost the entirety of the poem the speaker tries to define who his father is by comparing him to various things. As the poem begins the reader is provided with the information that the father “was” all of these things this things that he is being compared to. The constant use of the word “was” gets the reader to think ‘how come the speaker’s father is no longer comparable to these things?’ After the speaker reveals that his father is no longer around, he describes how his father impacted him. Details about the father as well as descriptions of the impacts the father has distraught on the speaker are all presented in metaphors. The repetitive pattern concerning the speaker’s father and the constant use of metaphors gives the reader a sense that the speaker possesses an obsessive trait. As the reader tries to interpret the seemingly endless amount of metaphors, sets of connotative image banks begin to develop in the reader’s mind. Major concepts that are expressed throughout the poem are ideas about what the speaker’s father was like, what he meant to the speaker, and how he influenced the speaker.

One beautiful day that summer, I was playing outside with my friends when my mom called for me to come home. I did not want to abandon my guard post at the neighbor's tree house so I decided to disregard her order. I figured that my parents would understand my delima and wouldn't mind if I stayed out for another two or three hours. Unfortunately, they had neglected to inform me that my grandparents had driven in from North Carolina, and we were supposed to go out for a nice dinner. When I finally returned, my father was furious. I had kept them from going to dinner, and he was simply not happy with me. "Go up to your room and don't even think about coming downstairs until I talk to you."
The New York Times’ recent article, “Lyft’s John Zimmer on Empowering Others to Help them Grow” interviewed Lyft’s president, John Zimmer on how he’s been able to create and run a successful company. Zimmer talks about his life and work experiences have heavily influenced his process of being an entrepreneur. Zimmer’s summer job working at a Hyatt hotel, and growing up in a highly materialistic environment have created experiences that have been very applicable to his new job. Lyft is a ride-hailing service that has grown very quickly, starting off with only 30 drivers, and now has over 1,700 drivers. Although there are other existing competitors such as Uber and Curb, Zimmer said that the only thing he can do is to focus on the values of the
