He salvages alone and lacks self confidence. “You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!”(Rowling) One day Haggard, his magical guardian, guides him into a third realm world. At first Harry is resistant and cannot picture the idea of having powers beyond the norm. But as time goes by, Harry becomes aware of the connection his powers have with the other students at Hogwarts.
Another trait of Gandalf is how trusting he is towards Bilbo. Although almost all the dwarves don’t believe in his abilities in the beginning of the story Gandalf does. He states many times that since he himself chose Bilbo, he most certainly is the one for the job even though he didn’t really look like it at first. I think that had a big effect on the story’s outcome because of how Bilbo thought of himself. He knew that Gandalf had faith in him and his abilities and I think thats what played a large part in him having faith in his own abilities so he was able to carry out all the noble actions that he
“Too much of a good thing, is a bad thing” (Shakespeare). This quote explains that just because you have something great does not mean you need masses of it. This is true for many emotions as well. For example, self-pride; being confident in yourself is important, but too much of it can be dangerous. This proves to be true in the novel Into Thin Air.
Percy does many of the things himself. He doesn’t care if people know it was him who won the battle. One thing Percy Jackson said on page 266 was, “It was Annabeth’s idea.” This shows that he is willing to give credit to someone else if they deserve it. Odysseus likes to brag and even though Percy Jackson likes people to know when he does something outstanding, he doesn’t brag about it. Because they do have some differences in their personalities, their journeys turn out different from each other.
Although he was quite young to be part of the greaser’s gang, Ponyboy Curtis showed many people that he could have been one of the greatest hero’s in the novel. Ponyboy is one of the few people in the story who respected others as well as Socs and did not enjoy fighting. Throughout the story, Ponyboy ponders the question, ‘why people in both the Greaser’s and Soc’s gang enjoyed fighting’. The answers he received which were, “It’s fun” or “It’s for pride” or even “because we hate the Socs”. Ponyboy thought this was just an act of self-defence.
And when the father didn’t want to get out of jail it made no sense because he could have gotten bailed out! Stuff like that just doesn’t make any sense to me! Finally the book was exciting. It was exciting because every chapter had an important detail. It was very important to listen good to all the parts because it was interesting.
This book contains a strong sense of morality and the characters are well rounded characters that aren’t easy to understand. The harder they are, the more we can learn about the true nature of life (Kelly 166). Grant Wiggins is a difficult character to understand because he couldn’t decide what he wanted to do. You didn’t find out what he truly felt until the end of the book. He was locked into almost the same situation Jefferson was in.
Even though Lennie is a different person from the other people, he has good intentions. Lennie is not smart enough but he can be a good friend. He is loyal and people can trust him.

This does not mean only teenagers would like this book but it does mean that teens can relate to Holden the best. The reader knows that this book is for teenage and young adult audience because Holden has very bad language all of the time and he swears in any situation. This is true because in the first couple pages Holden swears multiple times, for
He seems to be a very intelligent being, though he may be a little immature, this is all Victor’s doing. The only blame that Victor may place on is himself, because had he not strived for
