Cubicle

The deadline is today and you are completely focused on the task at hand. You have had lunch delivered to your cubicle and will be working through meal time, maybe even dinner. You haven’t moved from your cramped desk all day, but that work has paid off and the assignment is done just in time. Everyone has been in this situation but no one pays it much attention. These days can be few and far between and you feel fine, maybe a little tired. However, what everyone doesn’t realize is that these…

“He who controls the media. Controls the masses” Imagine if someone had the power to simply erase a historical event and anyone associated with it. Not only that, but they could also completely rewrite that historical event. Imagine if someone who said something and the government had them executed. Then in the newspaper the next day he is labelled as a traitor. This is what was happening inside “The Ministry of Truth (minitrue)’ in George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984”. the warnings, themes…

it’s divided by cubicles, we feel secure that we leave our personal stuff in our small office. After two weeks some of my coworkers started to notice that some of their stuff were missing. One of them had cereal bar, other foods and fruits in her cabinet. There were traces that her food was ate by another person. The funny part is that she had a banana in her cabinet which it was left intact. They perpetrator only ate the candies and cereal bars. This not only happen on the cubicles but also on…

Orozco plays around with second person voice within these first couple of paragraphs. It states, “those are the offices and these are the cubicles. That’s my cubicle there, and this is your cubicle” (1061). From this first line, it is shown that the narrator is starting to take the orientation on a normal and impersonal path. Within the first three paragraphs there is frequent mention of the second person voice in the…

Violet grew up in a house with five children and two parents. Her father had been a doctor and her mother a high school teacher. When she was young, no older than seven or eight, her father had died suddenly of a heart attack. Her mother managed to support herself and all the children from teaching and the money her husband had saved up during his years as a doctor. While they were never poor, there was never any extra money either. Now, Violet’s mother was old, and she had recently began to…

From an evolutionary standpoint, olfaction is one of the oldest senses. Aiding in our memory and also in the detection of hazards, the sense of smell became a necessity in the human struggle for survival. From the creation of synthetic fragrances to even the enhancing of our sense of taste, olfaction has even affected our culture. Our sense of smell has helped establish the human race into what it is today, but could it also be affecting us on a subconscious level? First we must understand…

cigarettes and “paper money.” We took out the memorial tablet from the storeroom at the funeral home and carried it to a specific site, where there were several cubicles with an upper level of the platform for displaying photos, food, incense. You can also choose among the twelve Chinese zodiacs as the background. While the bottom level of the cubicles is the incineration, where people are allowed to burn all kinds of “paper money.” The grandmother worship started with burning the incense by…

It is purely impossible to go a full day without using one. Therefore, it is essential that cubicles be placed around at certain locations of a building where full access can be allowed. The above picture was taken in the Architecture building at University of Auckland. As a University, there are several cubicles placed around campus and all do have ways to get inside. The social disability model comes to mind when speaking of this as it says, “says…

Somehow this cubicle had never bothered me after 12 years on the force it was just normal to be in this cubicle for most of the day. The town of Catalina only had a population of 10,000 and not much happened for the undercover unit. We had been called out a few weeks ago to assist the state police at the Athens air show to help with controlling the (1) throng of people that came out. I don’t know how this small air show (2) elicited so many people each year. We recently had a (4) former military…

boss around and receiving instructions, he also receives a few secrets. Orozco pulls the readers in with the idea that this will be a routine orientation when in fact it’s far from the usual. He begins with “Those are the offices and those are the cubicles.” As the story is being told from the new worker’s point-of-view and he’s being shown around the office. As the story unfolds, the worker is now being shown where the receptionist works and he is also informed that they are temps or temporary…
