Response essay The Hunter’s situation of dating the captain’s Ex-Fiance is seen as the primary cause of the atmosphere created and most likely that he might lose the respect his peers accorded him. The fact that his excellent work made him be promoted, the captain may not be in terms of Hunter due to his act of dating his girlfriend. The expectation is that the supervisor may take action against him. However, the supervisor has to understand that this is a conflict between two parties in which one of the parties must be found accountable for the mistakes done. In every conflict, there must be the party who is the cause of the conflict aiming to benefit in the situation. If it is true that Hunter had an affair with the captain’s Ex-Fiance, I agree that withdrawing from the conflict or even postponing to be not the best option for Hunter to deal with the matter. Also, if Hunter works in another department, there is the likelihood of the supervisor to undermine him from the other end. It implies that…

From Beyond By H. P. Lovecraft   Written in 1920, and first published in “The Fantasy Fan” June 1934.   Horrible beyond conception was the change which had taken place in my best friend, Crawford Tillinghast. I had not seen him since that day, two months and a half before, when he told me toward what goal his physical and metaphysical researches were leading; when he had answered my awed and almost frightened remonstrance’s by driving me from his laboratory and his house in a burst of fanatical rage, I had known that he now remained mostly shut in the attic laboratory with that accursed electrical machine, eating little and excluding even the servants, but I had not thought that a brief period of ten weeks could so alter and disfigure any human creature.

And if added…
