Re$-$read the section where the writer transitions from the quotation about Joe to the writer's own experience. What are the key similarities that the writer points out, creating a smooth transition from the quotation to the writers experience?

Mike Rose describes how his uncle Joe advocated to management for changes in the workplace and learned to "argue his case on a number of fronts, providing him a kind of rhetorical education" $(968).$ At the grocery store, I saw how unfair management decisions could demoralize a whole department and how an open, honest conversation could help restore the relationship between management and employees.

In both examples, an employee talks to management.

In both examples, the conversation with management has the potential to be tense $($Joe "advocated" and "argued" in the factory and the employees in the grocery store thought management was being "unfair" and they felt "demoralize$[$d$]".$

In both examples, the conversation turns out to be a positive experience $($Joe gains "rhetorical education" which means he learns how to speak persuasively to management at the factory. The conversation with the grocery store management is "open" and "honest" and "restore$[$s$]$ the relationship" with management.

All of the above
