Dick then jumped into the water, and proceeded to help the young child. Unbeknownst to Dick the young boy’s father was a man who owned a company, and this gentleman offered Dick a job. That was the beginning to Dick’s life getting better from opportunity. That drive that was displayed by the character was extraordinary, because everyone is not that fortunate. Finding what will be the way to remedy being poor is a challenge.
Therefore, happiness is subjective. In his essay, “On Dumpster Diving,” Eighner’s goal is to enlighten the audience by showing although he became homeless and could not effectively manage his finances, he was not completely incompetent. All through his tribulations and hardship he was still appreciative about the meaningless, or meaningful (whichever way you interpret) items he found while scavenging through dumpsters. It is very clear that Eighner was not ashamed of his lifestyle. He found moderately safe and efficient ways to maintain the needs of his lifestyle, as well as uphold the basic elements needed to survive by rummaging through public dumpsters and people’s trash.
Eighner was fascinated with dumpsters but, but did not like the term dumpster diving. " I prefer the word scavenging and use the word scrounging when I mean to be obscure" (Eighner 391). But he was not embarrassed by scavenging because he saw it as an adventure. He would take great joy in finding things and it became "Something of an urban art" (Eighner 392). Even when he did find objects, he had many questions he needed to ask himself.
Dumpster Diving Summary/Response “Dumpster Diving” is an essay by Lars Eighner, highlighting the good and bad of “scavenging” as he likes to call it. He brings to light how to become a diver, the stages divers go through, and his reservations about judging others who throw away perfectly good items. All in all, he is simply trying to enhance the fact that our culture is wasteful, and the large gaps between social classes. I think that Lars manages to keep his humanity intact, despite being homeless. He only takes items that he immediately needs or has a use for, the rest he leaves for others to discover and use.
The man thought that he could catch and abundant amount of fish but instead he caught the manta ray, and for the first time the man had felt like the prey. The man underestimated nature and believed that the fish were weak and helpless, but in the end, he became the prey instead. Based on the evidence shown, humans should work to respect nature and not belittle it as it could be more devastating than anyone could think
“In this escape, Houdini’s feet would be locked in stocks and he would be lowered upside down into a tank filled with water. “(3B) People admired his tricks so much that they even tried to imitate them, but never prevailed. “The performance was so daring and such a crowd please that it remained in his act until his death.”(2C) Though many tried to imitate the Chinese Water Torture Cell Act it remained one of Houdini’s most famous performances. Another notable escape act that Houdini used to perform was the Suspended Strait Jacket. “One of Houdini’s most popular publicity stunts was to have himself strapped into a regulation strait jacket and suspended by his ankles.” (3C) Houdini was an incredible crowd pleaser.
Although, Michele never loses sight of his strong belief in the values of trust and loyalty even with his regretful selling out of Filippo to Salvatore Scardiccione and Pino’s (Papa’s) to deter him from knowing the truth but then his materialistic ways of winning him back after the truth is discovered. Michele’s first experience with the acts of betrayal is when he discovers the villager’s involvement in the kidnapping of Filippo. From this he realizes the value of trust and loyalty is far more important than money. Prior to his discovery of the kidnapping, Michele admired and looked up to all the adults in Aqua Traverse, especially his parents, Pino and Teresa. Throughout the novel we see Michele’s views and opinions of his father change dramatically with hints Ammaniti provides.
He also does push ups to prove him that he is healthy and in good condition so people do not need to feel sorry for him. I learned many things from watching this video. Quotes such as, “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” He said this with only one minute into the video and has already caught my attention. When I first thought of this quote, I thought of every possible way this is true. For example, I am a swimmer and we swimmers have bad races and great races.

Psychopaths are described as possessing good intelligence, easy to talk too, have good, and genuine interest, and this describes Charles Whitman. He may have had reasonable interest such as a college graduate, an accomplished Marine and a good husband, but these were for the wrong reasons. He seemed to have no inner foundation of morals on which to build his charter. With the documentation that Whitman did throughout his life, especially the days before the killings, it is very difficult to explain the cause of what he did with any reasoning other than he knowingly chose to abandon self control and give into impulses that he was feeling. According to rational choice theory criminal behavior is a result of a
