Young Child Edna Edna's

tragically and symbolically. The entire novel is
about Edna's awakening. Chopin employs the use of
imagery to emphasize both her rebellious nature
and her innocence and feelings of entrapment. The
novel begins by introducing a bird that embodies
somewhat annoying characteristics, causing the

the professional class, Americans dreaded that
their families would...

with environmental organizations under the
Endangered Species Act and millions of dollars are
spent on scientific systems and even more lost to
accidents and fi...

It is said, 'Any company that cannot imagine the
future won't be around to enjoy it. ' Therefore

their business they have to do what Marc describes
as visioning; they must mentally "look" into what
they want to see as the potential outcome of any
given situation. Managers are concerned with the

to be done, but spend their time figuring out how
to get i...
