As a result of his accelerated intelligence and learning rate, he
At one point of time the doctor drained 8 fluid ounce of pus from an abscess under Gages scalp which would otherwise leaked into his brain. Within a couple of days gage exposed part of his brain got infected with a fungus, resulting from September 23-October 3 he lapsed into a comatose state. His family taught it was the end of him and prepares him a coffin, Doom, a-dum-dum-dam, but again he recovered. WHAT!!!!!!!! (Is he a cat or something- 9 lives)?
His personality was just really entertaining. He could be calm, but as soon as he lost his temper, you shouldn’t cross him. He was extremely academically based. He was very worried about his grades and studies. The author’s vocabulary and diction was another thing I really liked.
I use the word resilient because although the doctors, and his parents, and lots of other folks were saying that he can't do this or that; in the end he ended up being successful and completing every task they said that he won't be able to do. 3.

Hal and his friends go out for drinks and get laid, showing basic forms of sanity among most people. Thus, unlike Catherine whose gift is wrapped in dread, Hal enjoys his commonness as a pure sanction. He also has a knack for noticing the good attributes in other people. He basically worshipped Robert as mathematician and he stands in awe of Catherine’s untutored genius. If Catherine is struggling with the problem of being or not being her father, then Hal is competent, firmly grounded, fully aware of the rareness he
With the Brave New World society, they used soma as a replacement for both depression and religion. Using soma gave the taker instant gratification and kept everyone in check with the society. No one would question what was happening, nor would they question why they were taking soma - stability at its highest level. In Lord of the Flies, a leader could act as the soma in order to maintain solidity. Unfortunately, there were two leaders and this created indecision among the boys on the island.
Caleb and Maggie didn’t care what they said though and went on to loving each other and secretly meeting up. They enjoyed life together, side by side. Simone used the theme of love and tragedy to convince her audience that even though life is hard sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad and make the best of it. This refers to the quote as well. Its ironic how she almost died and he almost died too but when placed together, side by side, they can overcome
Ray continues with his self-centered behavior once they run across something that he actually is interested in, the film crew. Ray is immediately fascinated and is quick to point out that watching the film is “the best bit of Bruges so far” (14). It is evident that Ray is looking for distractions from what they are really doing in Bruges. Ray isn’t ashamed to make known his disgust with Bruges and the fact that there is little in Bruges that is of interest to him. He is even more upset when he finds out that Harry sent him to Bruges as his “one last joyful memory” before dying (58).
