Is there a nasty gossip hanging about the watercooler at your office? While it is usually better to ignore and not validate people talking behind your back, there are times at work that a professional response is required to address the situation. Here are five ways to tackle it:

1. Go for calm and collected
"Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but it doesn't make them right," is a line you can try if you'd like to stand up for yourself without rocking the boat too much.

2. Go for unphased with a dash of saucy
Lead with, "It's not that surprising people are talking about me, I am up to some BIG stuff!"

3. Want to make it an open discussion? Invite the person in
"If you have the courage, feel free to tell me what you think directly and we can talk about it."

4. Be bold and accepting
"That's fine, I talk about people too, that's life and we are all humans."

5. Up for taking the high road? Look beyond the talk to what is really going on
"I take responsibility for the part I have played to have this relationship be lacking in trust and support," you might say. A good place to start setting things right.

No matter what your response, or even if you choose to say nothing, it's important to recognize that you always have a choice in the matter.

This image relates to the essential question, because it represents how the girl in the front (the girl being left out), may think that those girls were talking about her, or making fun of her, but they may just talking about something that correlates to them instead. This makes an impact on the girl walking away, because she may think they would be mean people, but they may not be at all!

[Verse 1]
Did she tell you it's over?
Did she throw you out in the night?
Here you come to your other lover
Thinkin' that a reckless heart
Will get you high again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I changed the number on my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

[Chorus]
And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity

[Verse 2]
Did you think I'd be waiting for you?
Did you think I'd be holding my breath
To hear the sound of your footsteps?
Sayin' it's all over with her
And now you need me
You need me

[Pre-Chorus]
But I changed the number on my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

[Chorus]
And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity

[Verse 3]
So don't try and call me anymore with your lies
Don't be a fool and make the mistake
Of thinking I still love you
Anyone can tell I'm fine
And I don't need you

[Pre-Chorus]
But I changed the number on my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

[Chorus]
I'll just say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be, no
Must be a case of mistaken identity

This song connects to the essential question, what shapes a person and their perspective because it's about a girl that got broken up with and how she changed. She says in the song that she's not "the girl you want me to be" (Carnes). This shows that she has changed as a person and isn't the same as before. She also says that she won't be waiting for him and won't be holding her breath for him. This shows that her perspective towards him changed because of the event that happened to her and how she overcame it.

“Words tumble out faster than she can think traitorous words, words that nobody ever says aloud, words that could easily land her in an interrogation cell. She can scarcely believe what she’s saying” (Marino 37).

“Her father has only ever had one hobby: Swimming” (Marino 43).

“He could drive right now, swim through the depths until his lungs are said to burst, and come up for air far from the boat. He could climb out, retrieve his jacket and shoes, vanish into the night.... His arm to go up. His arms go down. He splashes” (Marino 9).

Many people in East and West Berlin already suspected that a wall would go up, but when the wall went up, many families and friends still got split apart. People still found ways to get across to the other side by going through apartments, but later that didn't work anymore. The guards couldn't let anyone pass and if they found someone they would have to use force. West Berlin was thriving economically. East Berlin was a normal communist city. "The economy was depressed by the loss of so many educated professionals and the looting of the city by the Russians. Most buildings were drab, gray and nearly identical to each other. Citizens there could afford few luxuries" (Grabianowski).

In the memoir, Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his horrific memories of when he was in concentration camps. (during the Holocaust) Along with his story, he also unfolds to the reader how he was treated, and the antisemitism he went through during those dreadful times. Wiesel begins the memoir with the day that he was forced to leave his home, and get into a train car (that was overfilled with people). Wiesel shares that for the next upcoming days he was under fed (starved basically), sleep deprived, crammed in the train car, and had little of his nessicary needs. After this time in Wiesels life, his life was soon going to be changed forever. After that moment he was tranfered to many different camps, saw, and heard many terririzing things (that scarred him for life), and he was deprived of many basic human needs - just like millions of others along with him. When Wiesel was split to go to the mens side of the camp, his father was the only one who was able to make it with him.. throught their journey, Wiesel and his father always took care of eachother and looked out for eachother. In the end of the memoir, both Wiesel and his father, are on a long trail of walking to the next camp. (it was very brutal, and many died), during this journey, Wiesels father passes away. At the very end of the memoir, Wiesel shares that the reason he wrote about his experience, was to remeber the lives that were lost, to spread awareness, and to inform others.

The memoir "Night" by Elie Wiesel, and, "Escape from East Berlin", by Andy Marino, both texts share the same idea that there is a disaster, and the protagonists can't control the situation that they are in. In "Night", Wiesel has little to no control over his living situation, how much food was given to him, or any control in his daily life. This is very similar to how Marta was feeling when the wall was put up in, "Escape to East Berlin". A difference between the two texts was the subjects. In, "Escape to East Berlin", the subject was Marta (and her family), but in "Night", by Elie Wiesel, the subject was The Holocaust, and the lasting effects that it had on everyone who was involved in the terrible situation.
