Monopoly Podcast Script In my everyday job as an asphalt maintenance worker, I had enough of putting in all the work I did and not profiting as much I wanted.

This can relate to my monopoly game because I put up all the money to buy the hotels, however if no one landed on them I wouldn 't profit and it created a chance of me going bankrupt. Another reason that would cause me to fail in building my company up is competition, for example if the old company, Professional Sealcoating, I used to work for bids on the same job I did and their price is lower the customer might choose them over me. Direct Competition when two or more businesses offer products or services that are essentially the same. Like in my monopoly game when my competition Daniel bought Connecticut Ave and Vermont Ave. This created competition because these proprieties are right next to mine. Another time Daniel bought park place and I had already owned Board walk, which didn 't allow me to

Anya Schultz, the author of a review titled Serial: A Captivating New Podcast, works to show how multiple narratives and stories can be manipulated and sometimes vastly misinterpreted. Serial, an intriguing, enthralling podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig, tells the story of Hae Min Lee, a young, beautiful, high school senior who was murdered in 1999. Lee 's case, as Koenig and Schultz point out, has a few missing pieces of information that were never accounted for.
