The Circle is a major business that maintains their focus to enforce everyone to work together as one unit. In the novel, The Circle, by Dave Eggers, there is an idea portrayed that every individual is a part of something greater than themselves. Eggers shows that anything that someone does, even a little act that does not seem to be important at the time, can have a major impact on the other individuals around them and even their society as a whole.

Annie was “working out some last hurdles to help it happen.” They were “looking for the right volunteer within the Circle to try it out” (Eggers 351).

Once Mae became more knowledgeable about how the Circle functions, she became the “coach”. Dan instructed her that she would receive her own pod of newbies to help instruct. He says, “Whenever there’s a stumper and it needs to be bounced up to a more seasoned person, you’ll be there. You’re the veteran now” (Eggers 147). Mae is now in charge of her own pod and has to teach them how to handle situations and how to be able to ask someone for help when they need
