    Chris’s use of rhetoric to perfectly captivate his audience highly influenced me. Before starting to take the idea of self-driving car into reality, all he and his coworkers had was plan in their heads and thoughts to accomplish it.

I chose the story of seven-year-old Olive from the movie Little Miss Sunshine.…

    Callings by Dave Isay helps me imagine the life I want to lead by showing me the passion and commitment people have for the work they perform. Each short story told in callings contains a reason why work is important to that particular person and how he or she got to that point in their life, whether it was easy to find what they wanted to do or hard.
