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.
In Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caufield makes it very clear that he does not like fake or phony people. Throughout the story Holden at times makes the reader feel like he or she should feel bad for him because of the hardships he's been through and how he has to deal with the "phonies" when he is actually one himself.

Holden Caulfield is the true phony and even more so a huge hypocrite throughout the novel. To start, All he wants to do is connect with someone but the boy has high standards.
Selected Citations from Poor Richard's Almanack “None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.” and “How few there are who have courage enough to own their Faults, or resolution enough to mend them!” These quotations basically mean that most people don't like to look inside themselves and see their flaws. A well-bred and courageous person sees who they are and acknowledges it without getting discouraged or insecure. The second part means that most people go on with their lives dealing with their flaws and trying to fix them to make themselves a better person. We all know that as humans it is in our nature that we make mistakes and faults but few of us have the guts to acknowledge their faults. These quotes is relevant to me that in every fault or failure I make I don’t have to be defensive about it but accept these mistakes and to use them as stepping stone to improve myself and change for the better.
This is simply not the case; children are often provided with lots of support especially if they have a more severe form of autism. When they move into adult services it can be a big shock to the family when they see their support budget is usually reduced quite significantly. The transition stage is very difficult time as most people with ASD do not like change. For those who are able to and would like to work, actually finding work is not easy, this is mainly due to a lack of knowledge and understanding by the employer. There needs to more training available for both the employer and other employees to enable them to work with and offer the person with autism to hold down a job.
The logos in Wiesel’s speech, or the logic he uses to support his point, is that he doesn’t want the American people to be bystanders. Elie Wiesel recalls the countless experiences of ignorance and fault by people all around the world. He doesn’t want his audience to be someone who ignores cries for help like so many people had done during the Holocaust. This led to such a big impact; People who really needed help had felt abandoned and hurt. They had been through such a terrible experience and others did nothing to help them!
This is because people only focus on their short-term satisfaction. They pay very little attention to how things will work out for them in the long run and only care about their current state of happiness. However, in fact, there are still many major problems that exist. Only in a time where society is becoming evidently corrupted, does anyone even consider these problems. This concept is shown in the novel, because the times of turmoil result in a serious change in Montag’s mind.
However, there is one rule that Washington writes that is important and that many people today have lost knowledge in which is that “every action done in company, ought to be with some sign of respect, to those that are present”. and that is his first and most valuable rule.

Forced Religion At some point in time everyone in society has overlooked his or her personal feelings to conform. People may believe strongly in an idea or thought, but will overlook that belief to be obedient. Is lying about something important really the best way to go? In this short writing by Langston Hughes it described how pressure from adults on innocent children can have a negative lasting effect. Langston Hughes in, “Salvation”, described how he, a young innocent boy, was pressured by his peers and elders so much that he lied about his faith.
Rachel Rucker Professor Clapper English 1213, 10MWF March 30, 2012 The Power Of Racial Slurs Words today mean so much in society that people seldom look back on the consequences they hold. These words can cause much pain, anguish, and conflict amongst people who do not even know each other. People say slurs such as “jap.” “flip,” “chink,” and “jew” to others, but they do not know who these other people are. These racial, religious, and ethnic remarks are made to demoralize others and to make them feel inferior. Sometimes these slurs are made in society where people have learned to live with them, by them, and from them.
