It tells us that Hassan would do anything for Amir, using the word “a thousand” rather than just saying “for you”. It also shows us that later in the plot Hassan will keep his habits as he shows no sign of stopping. It develops the theme of friendship a friend is someone who will help you do anything you ask of them.

In the eyes of Lord Chesterfield, he doesn’t need another diamond, he has enough diamonds. He wants his son to let the Chesterfield crest shine! To make his family name known and respected, and he wants his son to carry on the ancestral morals that is carried through the Chesterfield name. By using words such as disgrace, ridicule, shame and regret we see that his disappointment tone is carried through the letter, although the Lord is stating that he is acting as a guide using past experience, and in no way wants to dictate. But a short sentence later, he is listing off flaws of the boy, such as how dependent he is, how he must act upon more generous morals, and essentially, get his act together.
Comparison: Everyman and The Second Shepherd’s Play Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play both deal with the idea of redemption. They remind the reader that good deeds are important. They also reinforce the idea that we must shun material concerns to be redeemed. The world is imperfect, and the only way we can make ourselves perfect and worthy of redemption is by not worrying about our material well being and performing good deeds. Everyman places his faith in material things, his friends, relatives and goods.

School of Thought Socrates’ school of thought is idealistic; for a man to be happy he must truly know himself (Moore, 2012). He also based his writings around the idea of: “how can we ever learn what we do not know?” (Kemerling, 2011). His belief was that we all had inherent knowledge from past lives that can be tapped and brought to the surface. Additionally, he felt that all men did what they thought was right; prior to his death, he is quoted in several different writings as stating “neither to do wrong or to return a wrong is ever right, not even to injure in return for an injury received…, not even under threat of death…, not even for one’s family…” (Nails, 2009). Socrates was not consistent in thought through his life and reached the idea that it
No matter what, he will always save me. When I am down, all I have to do is look at him with his big smile and sweet giggle. He is almost like my depression medication, but without actually having to take something. I just need to look at him. As I said in the beginning each person’s definition of a hero is different so I decided to ask a friend.
In the first chapter it explains, that even if you do something wrong it is ok, because you need to learn from it and next time do an even better job. When we go into the second chapter, she discusses the theme into another perspective. It made me realize that in my family I do have a member that does this whole thick face black heart. My brother, he always has an attitude that shows that he does not care what people have to say and does what he wants. He shows no fear in anything, even if he is afraid he will find a way to take it and learn to take the fear away, which I personally find amazing.

I ain't got nobody." Through this quote we see that Johnny wishes that he had loving and caring parents. He isn’t angry. He just wants to have an actual family.
