We were not in debt in the process of creating our business and all of our supplies and rent fees were able to be paid without going over our price and income. So, according to our research and work we went through to create our business, since the income prices and gross income were fairly good, it would be possible to make this business take off. What we have learned from starting a small business is that you have to bounce many prices around just so you can make money. What this experience teaches us about capitalism and free market system is that by using capitalism and free market, we were able to create a business that would benefit others. We can show our appreciation for American entrepreneurs by thinking more of the process they go through to create businesses that we benefit from and the work they do to make our lives

    People's lives are sculpted by their everyday surroundings, their family and friends, where they live, and even the food that they eat. Every time period has different beliefs, clothing, and governing bodies that give hints as to what the culture would have been like during that time.

    In my opinion, the theme of disappointment best describes Shoemaker’s life as written in this article. In as much as he has worked tirelessly to create celebrities, some of whom have featured in the Hall of Fame, he has never been personally recognized as the man behind the successes of these personalities. Furthermore, Shoemaker has made millionaires while undertaking a job in which he receives a meager salary of fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand dollars annually (Plaschke, 2015). He has been the architect of dozens of headlines that never mentioned his name. As if that is not enough, Shoemaker has established multiple light moments, which he can only observe from far.…

    Hi Loan! Thank you for sharing your idea about the fairy tale the Elves and the Shoemaker. I agree with you that the elves represent good characters. In my opinion, the elves also fall into a mentor archetype; they do not directly teach the shoemaker; however, the elves indirectly help him to make shoes. The shoemaker and his wife represent good persons who are working hard in order to support their family.…
