He describes St. Godric’s life as a merchant in Britain, and eventually Godric’s desire to use his accumulated wealth in service to God (Doc. 3). While Reginald was a close colleague of Godric and may have a slightly skewed take on these events, he nevertheless helps represent a small population of Christians who supported the merchant class and also demonstrates that the supposed greed of the “mean” classes can be used for good. Several letters from a merchant’s mother help to shed light on the opinions of other commoners during this time period. The mother grants God praise for allowing her son to make it in business and warns her son not to crave for more than what he needs (Doc.
In these court hearings, some very embarrassing and damaging things had been exposed about Zuckerberg. Simply, the humble and nerdy computer programmer had not been so innocent and forthcoming as the reader was initially led to believe. Some AIM passages were quoted in the article, showing the reader a very compelling argument against the supposedly good character of Mark Zuckerberg. The author is unsympathetic towards Zuckerberg when he comments about the new Facebook movie that was soon to be released at the time. Vargas writes, “The movie is a scathing portrait, and the image of an unsmiling, insecure, and sexed-up young man will be hard to overcome.” This unrelenting image painted of Zuckerberg is not what he chose yet was forced upon him anyway, unlike every minutely controlled detail of a Facebook profile.

He has sinned by the laws of the church that rules by a theocracy in his town, and yet also yearns until his last breath to make the decisions a good man would in order to set things right in his town.

Just write the check and – the house is yours’ (His voice almost breaks) ‘And you – you people just put the money in my hand and you won’t have to live next to this bunch of stinking [blacks]!" (III.i.144). Walter decides that he is going to play the stereotype that Karl Lindner labels him as. He figures selling out and forfeiting his dignity is the only way to earn his father's money back. He wanted to do this because he wanted to get the money he lost back, but by doing that they will lose their dignity.
In the very first chapter, Nick Caraway, the author and main character, says that he learned to reserve judgment of other people from his father. Then when he later first mentions Gatsby, he states that he represents everything that he resents, but he reserves him from his normal judgment.

It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved anyone except me” (137) Gatsby is telling of how Daisy Buchanan is no longer loyal to Tom and how she now wants him back because he has run into money.
Everette, and the viewers, think that his life will get better when the flood is over, that he will believe in God, leave the con life and his wife Penny will come back to him.
