Humanities Sabrina Huaraque Ender’s Game essay 10/14/2012 “ In the moment when I truly understand my enemy understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him” * Ender Wiggins Through out the stretch of Ender’s Game, Ender is obviously very logical in his decision making and his leadership style but I believe that what makes him such a good leader is his ability to lead with a heart. To think his decisions though considering how they will affect the people around him. Also through the book he learns to care for people and do everything in his power to help them. For example while training Bean, Ender pushes him as far as he knows bean can go but at the same time he truly care for Bean’s well being.
He is successful because he is the only one who can confront reality and see through the rose colored glasses. Everyone else had a false sense of reality and could not see or admit the truth. Biff, on the other hand, is comfortable with the fact that he is just an average man, something Willy, was never able to accept. Another reason Biff is successful is because he chases his dreams and what he enjoys doing in life. Biff knew that the life of a salesman was not his own dream but his father’s dream for him.
They believed that, “We have a purpose, a certain audience, a particular stance, a genre, and a medium to consider- and often as not a design” (Bullock, Goggin 1). It is important to know what exactly your purpose is; all writing must have at least one. It helps you to understand how to proceed with your work. Your audience is who is listening or reading what you are

Through a dangerous circumstance, Tom Benecke risks his life trying to fill his empty pockets; however, he learns what he should have been filling his pockets with all along. Tom Benecke is a tall, lean, dark-haired man who is more concerned about success at work than the truly important things in his life such as his wife. This character was interesting to me because of the lessons he learns about life and himself throughout the story. I do not like Tom's selfishness and his obsession with work, but in the end of the story I came to admire the choices he makes to change himself. A friend of mine reminds me of Tom because she always puts other things before her family.
He was seen because the dogs saw him, but was mistaken for their nephew Tom. He pretended to be Tom and found out that they thought he was Tom Sawyer.

Eggers seem a bit scared to grow old. He speaks highly if youth, putting the young twentysomethings on a pedestal. Eggers opinions evolve on the youth being the perfect example to society, he strives for that perfection in every spot in his life. He wants the perfect lifestyle for himself and his younger brother, Toph who is also perfect in Eggers eyes. When Eggers tone isn’t adoring it can be very condescending of others.
For Willy, it is apparent that reality and truth are too harsh for him and he would rather deal with lies instead. He conjures up ideas of what he wishes were real because to him being successful is the most important thing and what he needs people to believe. One of the main examples of this is when Willy says to his sons “they know me down in New England..” (page 19). Although he is clearly an unsuccessful salesman, he holds himself accountable to be extremely well-known and well-liked. Willy also encourages Biff to be unaccountable by telling him “coach’ll probably congratulate you on your initiative” when Biff steals the football.
Oscar Wilde satirizes the British education by using Lady Bracknell. While having a conversation with Jack Worthing, she expresses what she thinks about education: “Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square” (Earnest 62).
