Discussion Question 1 After reading “The Pitcher” by Robert Francis, consider how the poem itself works the way a good pitcher does. Which lines illustrate what they describe? Discussion Question 2 Describe the central conflict between the speaker and the mother in “Dusting” by Julia Alvarez. Why is the image of dusting a particularly appropriate metaphor for evoking the central conflict? Question 2 In Julia Alvarez’s poem, “Dusting”, the narrator expresses her dreams as she nears adulthood even though the poem is written as the narrator is in her childhood rather than her teens. The central theme amongst the poem is the narrator’s attempts at remaining true to her inner self and ambitious dreams.      The conflict between the narrator and her mother stems from how the young girl does not want her dreams to include dusting furniture and cleaning houses. The narrator views her mother as a woman who is convinced inside a household, limiting her ambition as she grew up. Her mother does not view the narrator’s dreams as something worth achieving since she expects her to work cleaning the house as she is. The narrator refuses to let her dreams go and wants to pursue a career that works for her.      The narrator uses certain language and imagery to explain the importance of the central theme and her ambition. The imagery of dusting corresponds with the narrator’s determination to follow her own career as she signs her own signature along with the entire house. The narrator took pride in her writing even though her mother was not approving. Her mother would erase her work every time provoking the central conflict between mother and daughter. Therefore, even though her mother wants her to swallow her pride, she would continuously write her name in the dust to continue showing her passion for writing.

Option #1: Orientation and Onboarding A new employee that has just been hired becomes acquainted with the organization as well as his or her new coworkers, department, and job during orientation. This is a time for the organization to help the employee assimilate to the new culture of the organization. Orientation would typically last for one to two days, although for some organizations, this may be longer. Onboarding plans can be informal or formal. In an informal onboarding program, an employee can learn about their job without a given structured plan. Then the employee is left to figure out the rest of the acclimation process. A formal onboarding program is much more structured. The formal onboarding program can start during the recruitment and selection process and can last for several months to a year or more on the job. The formal onboarding program is typically a coordinated effort among supervisors, HR, and colleagues of the new employee. For some leadership roles, members of the senior leadership or executives may also be involved. Based upon the information provided, please create a structured onboarding program for a new employee that addresses the following elements. Assume that this is for an entry level HR Assistant position for a large global financial institution: In terms of tasks and socialization, teach the new employee about his or her new role.
