Jim Donovan did not do a good job preparing for his appointment with Don Bird. He assumed Bird would accept him, that he would be able to observe the company and have a smooth transition into his new position. He never thought he would be put on the spot like he was. Instead of thinking he might have an interview and should prepare for anything he just decided to wing it. We think he did a very poor job in “playing” things in regards to his appointment. There are a few mistakes that he made such as, expecting that since Bird was retiring he would be pleasant and welcoming. It is hard not to assume that if someone was older and ready to retire they would be happier to give their position to someone younger and maybe even look to mentor them and help them through the first couple of months. Bird handled this the complete opposite, as he state he would not support Jim in any way and did not believe he was qualified for the position. This could have been a tactic Bird used to test Jim and to see how he handled tough situations, much like a surprise interview. The case leaves this open ended and it does not tell us how Jim reacts to these harsh statements or what happens…
Jim’s hero journey failed because he made too many wrong choices. For example, when he was buying flowers, he became distracted and unintentionally created an extremely extravagant bouquet, when he originally only wanted a few yellow roses. “But there was a problem: what were these flowers going to cost? The bouquet as she assembled it—as it came to be, in her hands—was broader and taller by far than what he’d come into the florist’s wanting” (Antrim 283). Once he realized that the situation was getting out of hand, he made an attempt to change it, but his insecurities got in the way because he was trying to impress the girl making the arrangement. “’What would you like me to take out?’ the girl asked. Was she annoyed? She had her back to him.…

All presidents should be trustworthy and have no background of crime. Before Abraham Lincoln was president, he undermined “the foundations of the U.S. republic.” In 1861, he became president, which is surprising because he may have not been loyal and trustworthy. Also, Nelson Mandela went against his government, and became President years later. These two men were very well trusted by the people of their countries, and they also came up with many ideas. The ideas that they came up with were shared with others and the ideas began to spread, including to the government. Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela are similar by freeing African peoples and becoming presidents of their country; despite them being similar, they also have their differences…
