It’s hard out here for an inventor/innovator (with apologies to Academy Award Winner Three 6 Mafia)!  While some (such as Edison, Jobs, Musk, etc.) become billionaires, many others fail — often for predictable reasons. 

Based on class discussion and readings, identify several (e.g., at least three) major reasons why inventors/innovators fail other than bad luck or their own lack of skills (which is addressed separately in Essay Question #2) and offer suggestions for how these predictable failures you identify might be anticipated, averted, or reduced.  If you have a personal/family business experience with failure (or adversity) as an inventor/innovator, you may include your experience as part (but not all) of your analysis.

the poems’ complexity? (Mobilization poems include “First O Songs for a Prelude,” “Eighteen SixtyOne,” and “Beat! Beat! Drums!”)

from general statements . Make sure all your comments are specifically about the characters and
not generally about people in society. Offer interesting connections and insights that you gather in
the stories.
