    What are the standards of selling a service or product so the customer will not get furious? If we tried out best but they are still unsatisfied, what kind of response should we give? In this case “July at the Multiplex”, the plaintiff, Tommy, was not satisfied with the service that was provided with Royal 16 Theater. He demanded the money that he paid be returned.

    July At The Multiplex

    • 785 Words

    After careful reviewing of the information provided by our firm, Mr. Plex along with the consortium decided that it is best if the firm conducted a random sample of 100 patrons and analyze the results. In turn, the sample revealed that 6 out of the 100 patrons surveyed agreed with Tommy and resented the ads. It only makes sense because if the sample were to have bigger numbers, you would see that there are a lot more people that resent the ads as well. Now, with that being said, if instead, 300 patrons had been randomly surveyed and 18 out of the 300 patrons agreed with Tommy and resented the ads, our answer would still remain the same. The percentage from both would still hit 60%, and that’s already more than what was asked in the first place which was more than 10%. The reality of the case is that obviously there are those who don’t mind the previews before the movie starts because that gives them a little more time to get to the theater if they are running late. Then there are those who absolutely hate it (like Tommy) and that ruins their experience. However, that has been a part of the process for a while and it wouldn’t make sense to remove the ads for the reason that the company and the studios would lose money. It all comes down to whether or not a reasonable person standard would take the same action Tommy did if they didn’t like a movie or commercials. However, since the percentage is actually more than 10%, the consortium will have to consider negotiating a settlement of some sort of any lawsuit filed by Tommy.…

    Pieces of April

    • 386 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Love is the emotional investment that pushes people to their limits. This is demonstrated in the film “Pieces of April”, when our protagonist April is pushed to do something for the sake of love, even though she dreaded every moment of it. She tries to prepare a Thanksgiving meal for her and her family with hopes to be reunited after years of negligence. Although she tries to conceal her exhilaration it is clear and obvious that she is eager for her family’s arrival. Her attempt at cooking a meal for her family and going through so much difficulty is not so literal. It represents the notion of how love can push people into doing impetuous things. The deficient love of a girl for her family can make her do so much. The relationship between April and her mother, Joy, resemble the relationship of Tiffany Chan and her mother from the short story "Of Kin and Kind". Both the mother and daughter relationship is very rigid and tense. Tiffany claims that her and her mother may be of the same blood but they are anything but alike, by declaring "We were kin, but less than kind". This quote can also reflect April’s view on her and her mother’s relationship. We all believe that our similarities brings us close and our difference separates us without knowing that the only thing still holding our ties is the love we have for each other. That love is what makes us forget the conflicts and disagreements we may have and reminds us that no matter how different we are, we learn to accept and love each other. Bobby, April’s boyfriend, also illustrates how love can give people unbelievable strength and make them overlook the concept of possible. He claims his mother lifted the car to save his life after they had been in an accident. He carries his belief and shows what a person can accomplish if they carry love within themselves, “When you have love you do things you never thought you could. She had a moment of unbelievable strength because she had love”. The power…

    The protagonist attends a party and hears emotional piano music from Mademoiselle Reisz, a woman who becomes detached from society to follow her passion for music. This inspires the young woman to follow her own dreams. Reisz, in turn, guides Edna by assisting her pursuit for true love while warning her of the conflicts that this path brings. Reisz aids Edna with her worries by permitting her to read the letters from Robert Lebrun, the man who awakens Edna with their forbidden love before moving to Mexico. This helps Edna to continue her journey in her awakening, as the narrator states, “Edna was sobbing, just as she had wept one midnight at Grand Isle when strange, new voices awoke in her” (Chapter 21). Another key point is when Reisz alerts Edna of the forthcoming struggles she will face. The musician assures Edna of the consequences to the path of liberty, testifying that, “The artist must possess the courageous soul, the soul that dares and defies” (Chapter…

    Rather than focus on the gloomy and lonely lives people live, they focus on how people can grow and come together in times like this. The artists also inspire intense emotions through their music. Emotions create effective works of art. This musical has a beautiful message that everyone needs to hear and has touched me this year as I have faced the same feelings as Evan and many other high school students who feel as though they are “on the outside always looking in” (Waving Through a…

    The Music Never Stopped

    Father and son relationships are very complicated and many aspects are well documented in books, poems, and film. As the father of two young sons, four and two, I was deeply affected by the film “The Music Never Stopped,” directed by Jim Kohlberg. I had the privilege of viewing this film at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011. This is the first film I have seen in my adult life that caused me to weep openly several times. I connected with the struggle of this father as he dealt with a devastating brain injury to his estranged son. The film covered three common themes in father and son relationships. Rebellion, guilt, and acceptance are woven throughout the film. Each theme reminded me, as the father of two boys, I will have to deal with all of these issues in the future. I hope I handle things better than the father, Henry Sawyer, did in the film.…
