...The narrator is the key and main character in Ralph Ellison’s eloquent novel, Invisible Man. Mr. Ellison’s portrayal of the narrator is colorful, meaningful, one that can withstand time and identifiable for all. This portrayal transcends all color barriers as well as any socioeconomic background. It was masterful of Mr. Ellison to highlight a young man in his prime and build a story around his coming of age. Any one of us can relate to how it is to be away from home for the first time in your life and you feel you are an adult, a person that can make their own decisions, be accountable, responsible, and trustworthy all on the premise of who you are, yourself. For some of us it begins with the experience of college, some it may happen a little sooner or perhaps a little later. For me, it was later. I had just recently completed a college program in downtown Chicago and landed my first real job. It was acquired not through any linkage to any work study program from school or helping out friends of relatives or anyone I personally knew. This was the real deal. I was working for a huge international insurance company by the name of INA. They were known for their property and casualty underwriting business. Soon after I came on board, INA was merged to form a new and bigger company, CIGNA. I had hit the big time! I was hired to assist a gentleman by the name of John Anderson who lived in Elmhurst, Illinois. I bonded with him immediately upon interviewing with him, and I was...

...Ralph Waldo Ellison Ralph Waldo Ellison was born on March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and named after journalist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ellison's doting father, Lewis, who loved children and read books voraciously, worked as an ice and coal deliverer. He died from a work-related accident when Ellison was only three years old. His mother Ida then raised Ralph and younger brother Herbert by herself, working a variety of jobs to make ends meet. In his future book of essays Shadow and Act, Ellison described himself and several of his friends growing up as young Renaissance Men, people who looked to culture and intellectualism as a source of identity. A budding instrumentalist, Ellison took up the cornet at the age of 8 and years later, as a trumpeter, attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where he studied music with his eye on becoming a symphony composer. In 1936, Ellison went to New York over the summer with the intent of earning enough money to pay for his college expenses, but ended up relocating. He started to work as a researcher and writer for the New York Federal Writers Program, and was befriended by writers Richard Wright, Langston Hughes and Alan Locke, who all mentored the fledgling scribe. During this period, Ellison began to publish some of his essays and short stories, and worked as managing editor for The Negro Quarterly. Writing `Invisible` Man` Ellison started writing what would become “The invisible Man” while at a friend’s farm in Vermont...

...Indivisible Individuality In Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, the needs ideas, and duty of the individual are proven to be more significant than that of the group, so one's own identity is preserved. Each individual, both black and white, has both a responsibility to their community and an obligation in retaining their own personality as an individual. The main character, the Narrator, represents this himself in never telling the reader his actual name, and how he had temporarily lost his sense of individuality (however deems himself "ready" to come back by the end of the book). He is continually tested throughout the novel as he struggles to maintain the division between his own self and that of the needs the Brotherhood recurrently demand. From the beginning of the novel, the Narrator struggles with the beliefs taught by his grandfather, social expectations, and what he personally believes, which over the course of his journey, begin to change shape through his many experiences. This struggle is an underlying cause for many of the actions he will take, such as quickly joining the Brotherhood when the chance arises in an attempt to have his voice heard. As stated by Dykema-VanderArk, "Achieving that "realization" requires the narrator to come to terms with his personal history and with his place in the larger history of America." ("Overview of Invisible Man" 1). Every action he takes is a result of a recurring event, such as his overall decline in trust and confusion...

...The main protagonist of Ralph Ellison invisible man is not the only one who remains unseen as the novel unfolds. Another element also cloaked in invisibility follows our unknown character throughout the novel, changing both beat and tempo as the novel develops. Rather like the invisible man, the ongoing musical beat that runs through out the invisible man’ may not be visible yet it is very clearly felt and heard. It is the distinct incorporation of the inflowing musical beat that allows for an interloping of ideas based upon the visible, the invisible and the creative with the novel. The main theme within the ‘invisible man’ is that of the more obvious theme of invisibility. Ellison explores through the use of music such as in the form of jazz the moments or experiences where invisibility takes control. Such breaks in visibility signify a chance for the protagonist to escape and break the mould of the what can be called ‘constitutional visibility’ allowing for the exploration of ones own identity and individuality. An individuality and identity that is not in any way restricted to what is generally accepted as visible. Our Guarantee To You No Quibble Money Back Guarantee! We are so confident in our ability to produce top level academic work that we are prepared to back it with a "No Quibble, Money Back" guarantee! Such breaks that allow for such explorations to take place within the novel can be seen from the very beginning where in the prologue the protagonist recalls...

...Supervisor, Monica Carrolls will be gaining these trainings in her department and is expecting them to be in orientation by June 15 and begin working by July 1st. While it is possible for Robins to complete everything by June 15, it is not guaranteed, and there are many obstacles to overcome in a short amount of time. Robbins hired 15 new trainees for Carroll, and was confident that he would have the trainees ready for orientation by June 15 and ready to work by July 1st. The new trainees paperwork was not reviewed until the last week of May, by then it was determine nothing was prepared for June 15’s orientation. Applications were incomplete, none of the trainees had complete their drug test, their transcripts were not on file, orientation packets were incomplete, and finally, the training room was already booked for the entire month of June. At this point in the analysis, it would seem Robins will be unable to conduct orientation on June 15, due to the fact he is unprepared and running out of time. The key issues ABC Inc. and Robins face are the following: the incomplete orientation manuals and the 15 new trainees that have not been drug tested. Currently, Robins has only three orientation packets, and they are missing several pages, when in fact he is in need of 15 complete packets. By not having the correct paperwork for the new trainees to review and fill out during orientation, Robins will be withholding important information from the trainees. Without this information, the trainees...

...for his first recruitment effort to allocate them into the working force. However, some of the trainees have not been properly assessed and screened. In addition, Joe from the technology service department has occupied Carl’s predicted orientation room for the entire month of June, therefore, this leaves Carl no place to host his orientation to the trainees who do have the necessary transcripts. Carl’s major dilemma is that he assured Monica Carrols, the Operations Supervisor, everything would be in place for orientation by June 15, which will allow the new trainees to start working at the beginning of July. Carl is not only racked with these situation, but he is also very inexperience with only have his job for only 6 months, which clearly has frustrated him in a way that has led him to panic about his predicament. Background This analysis will identify and propose solutions for Carl Robin on his first recruitment effort and the problems associated with this case. The problems include Carl’s behavior in the matter, the lack of sufficient transcript for some of the trainees, and the need for an orientation room for the trainees. Furthermore, everything needs to be prepared before the impending deadline that is June 15th of Orientation Day. Carl’s problem is a result of procrastination and poor planning in specific details. Therefore, he must not look at the problem as a whole, but as individual problems. Carl must confront his problems one at a time. This will allow him...

...Improving Our Orientation Process MGMT: 4113 Human Resource Management November 22, 2015 Dear Mr. Smith, I am writing you today to give you my insight on our orientation program. I believe we can make this process more enjoyable for each new employee. As of right now, the orientation program is four and a half hours long, and it is filled with more information than the average person can remember long term. I would like you to consider three things: renaming the process to onboarding, splitting the information into a two-day process, and adding more activities for the new employees. I will be explaining in further detail each of these three things, and I am hopeful that this will make the onboarding process more enjoyable for new and current employees alike. “Orientation program – it’s training designed to prepare employees to perform their job effectively, learn about the organization, and establish work relations” (Noe, Hollenbeck and Gerhart 224). To prepare an employee to enter a new workplace, you need to give them the opportunity to succeed. As of right now, I think our organization is not doing a good enough job in the orientation process. It is overloaded with information that has a lot to do with our background, the policies of the company, and what the owner sees in our future. If we took orientation, and we reinvented it, we could possibly have one of the best programs in the nation. That is why we should stop calling it an orientation, and start calling...

...postpone the orientation to the beginning of July. This will give him time to take care of the other problems. Also this will allow Joe to finish his scheduled training. Background Carl Robins is a relatively new employee at ABC Inc. He has hired fifteen new employees which are scheduled to do their orientation on June 15th. On May 15th his immediate supervisor gives him a list of tasks to get done before orientation. He opens this file after Memorial Day. At this time he also discovers the training room has been booked for the entire month of June. Here is a list of problems he has. Problems to Solve * Some applications are not completed * No drug tests are completed * There are no complete training manuals * The training room is booked for the month of June. The main problem we have is the availability of the training room. There are several options to consider that I see. Option Number One Rent a conference room offsite. Pro: It will keep the orientation on schedule. Cons: It will cost more. The trainees will not be on campus. Any additional hardware for orientation will have to be moved there. Option number two Ask Joe to move his training dates Pro: It will keep the orientation on schedule. Cons: If Joe is a normal person he will say no. It is not fair to ask him to adjust his schedule because Carl messed up. Depending on the training software there could be an issue with using the computers for orientation in the...
