Employees have a responsibility to do what is ethically expected and legally required, but often allow the thought of profit maximization overcome them. Doyle Brent Sheets, the one-time President of American Commercial Colleges, made an unethical decision that not only impacted his life, but the lives of many students that trusted him and relied on ACC to provide them with a quality education. Sheets falsified financial records of ACC in an effort to remain eligible for Federal Student Aid. As a proprietary college, American Commercial Colleges holds a…

Fighting an internal battle with himself, Soto uses many cases of contrast repetition to show his internal conflict he has with himself about stealing the pie. Soto starts off by using contrast repetition almost immediately by saying that he “knew enough about hell to not sin” and also stating that he was holy in almost every bone. However even though he has said this, he also states that boredom makes him sin. This is contrasting because if he claims to be holy through and through, but then also states that boredom makes…

“A car [honks] and the driver [knows]” Gary explains. He stole the pie, and Gary knows that the driver saw him, which only makes him feel guiltier. Another bystander, “Mrs. Hancock [stands] on her lawn, hands on hip, and she [knows]”. He thinks she knows that he stole the pie, because when she puts her hands on her hips, it makes him feel like he is being scolded. Even his mom “peeling a mountain of potatoes at the Red-Spud factory, knew” and the fact that it is his mom knowing his guilt only causes him to feel more regretful. The paranoia that Soto feels causes us to feel that he really is guilty of stealing the pie, and so he tries to escape this guiltiness anyway he…

In the well-written autobiographical narrative A Summer Life (1990), Gary Soto delivers an original assembly of aspects from himself as a six-year-old child. Soto asserts the scary realization of wants triumphing over what is ethical and he uses many examples of imagery, repetition and a chosen vocabulary to sketch out the ignorance that is evident in a child’s mind. Soto’s purpose is to selectively illuminate feelings of morals, paranoia and imagination that play a leading role in the lives of young children in order to adequately contain the audience’s attention and allow them to apply their own emotions. Given the excessive importance to detail and exquisite symbolism with angels, Soto is writing to a very diverse audience that has some sort of religious or spiritual background or knowledge and it seems he may even be reaching to engage parents’ opinions on the matter.…

The imagery Soto uses emphasizes his desires as a young boy. It helps the reader to view the story through a six-year-olds eyes and what would have driven him the most to steal. However, his actions as a six year old lead us to believe he portrays a personality disfunction known as bipolar. David Silverman establishes that the precise link between the dimorphic physical features and personality traits is unclear and children may be affected by displaying a multiple personality disorder (D. Silverman). Soto is aware that stealing the pie is a sin his guilt is amplified when he ignores his knowledge. "My sweet tooth gleaming and the juice of guilt wetting my underarms." He expresses his desire for the pie as he deeply expounds the feeling of temptation towards the pie (Soto). Soto remarks that there were nine different kinds of pie at the shop referring to the nine types of sin. Afterwards, Soto is burdened with culpability from his action of having committed a sin yet does not fully regret eating the pie he had stolen in order to emphasize the pleasure it had given him. As a six year old boy, he is not knowledgeable about religion or what is and what is not appropriate to perform yet, is assured that he is holy in almost every bone and accuses boredom for his actions.…
Throughout the narrative many allusions are present. One of the most prevalent is the allusion to God. Sota refers to God several times to demonstrate he was a religious child. This also shows the he knows the severity of his sin, and consequences for it. Another allusion Soto uses is to Adam and Eve. Soto says “I Knew an apple got Eve in deep trouble.” He knew he did not want to end up like Adam and Eve, spending the rest of his life roaming the desert. By using allusions the author helps to recreate the harsh felling of guilt he felt as boy, stealing the apple pie.…
