Case 1: In the "Harry Potter" universe, house-elves are creatures who are owned by rich families and who are responsible for housekeeping and other labor tasks. Their responsibilities include cleaning, cooking, running errands, or accompanying their master somewhere to serve them. House elves are supposed to enjoy obeying their family, keeping their secrets, and serving them. House-elves are only freed if they dishonor the family. They and their children are kept for generations by the same family.

Case 2: Henry works as a server at a local sit-down restaurant. Henry must follow a strict script when taking orders and delivering checks, must always say "My pleasure" in response to "Thank you," and is assigned to more tables than he could possibly manage at once. The manager, Alan, constantly harasses the servers behind the scenes to stick to the script and to hurry up. Henry and his co-workers regularly bend the rules - claiming they forgot the script, oops - and take their time serving tables and carrying food and drink out. Sometimes they drop things and claim it was an accident to aggravate
Alan. Alan is convinced they are incompetent and need his guidance to be good servers.
Question 2: How might Thavolia Glymph describe what is happening when Henry and his coworkers bend the rules, and when Alan is convinced they are incompetent? Answer this question by:
(1) Giving the answer,
(2) Explaining only the relevant parts of Glymph's view, and
(3) Explaining how that view can be applied in the case of Henry and Alan.
