Assignment 7
1. Identify three quotes from the dialogue that show how Bryce progressed in ethically identifying his emotions.
The first quote from the dialogue shows how Bryce progressed in ethically identifying his emotions is “After a year of applying, interviewing, jumping through all the hoops, I finally realized nothing I did mattered. I just couldn’t take another rejection. The bottom line is, no one wants me.” The second quote that shows how Bryce progressed in ethically identifying his emotions is “I don’t know. I think they might leave me. We’ve run through our savings. We’re behind on the mortgage. I’m going to lose everything.
