The massive amount of snow that blocked the streets produced the worst parking conditions possible. After the plow trucks came and cleared the roads, driveways were covered by mountains of snow, and cars parked on the street were plowed in. Many residents simply left their cars under the snow because they had no way to get them out. The delay in the city’s response cost human lives due to ambulances not being able to reach their destinations. Many residents feel that if the Mayor proclaimed a snow emergency and the Sanitation Department performed its job properly, many of these issues would have been avoided.
This quotation points out his maturity because he shows that he can make smart choices in order to survive with Kit in this adventure. In addition, other characters in the story perceive Peter as mature, for example his parents thought he was mature enough to go alone on an adventure, adapt and survive. “You must get away from here, my father said” (Trease 30). This quotation shows his parents trust in his maturity to be able to go on a journey by himself. Another trait that has helped Peter throughout the novel is courageousness.
Although Thady Quirk claims to be true and loyal to the family, key moments during the narrative depict his intentions as being quite possibly the opposite, due to his effective assistance in his own son's takeover of the estate. At the beginning of the story, Thady takes prides in how he’s called by everyone “honest Thady.” If he’s truly honest, then his account of every event would be reliable, true, and accurate. He also has a tendency to only share the good characteristics of people with the reader, even if they are a drunk, in debt, have a gambling problem, or any the above. One Lord of the Rackrent estate, Sir Kit, is described as being an abusive husband for allowing his wife stay locked away in a room “upon which my lady shut herself up in her own room, and my master said she might stay there, with an oath; and to make sure of her, he turned the key in the door, and kept it ever after in his pocket.” (29)
The differences between the two is what makes Ralston a hero and McCandless not. Although they were both put in life-threatening situations, Ralston is more heroic than McCandless because of his commitment to society and the fact that he sees being stuck as a problem he can solve. Contrary to Ralston, McCandless made the decision to isolate himself from everyone who had ever cared about him when he began tramping. Along his journey McCandless formed many meaningful relationships. The friendships he developed as he tramped around the western United States were very strong, but he portrayed that he was not as involved in the relationship as the other person.
Ralph upholds the responsibility as chief because he knows he has to somehow guide the boys until they were rescued. Although he is afraid of what lay ahead, he becomes brave and takes position with confidence. Apart from taking a risky position as leader, Ralph shows bravery by taking risks so the other boys do not have to. He, for example, went down to the red cliff where the boys think the beast could be hiding. “...[He] realized with surprise that he did not really expect to meet the beast and didn’t know what he would do about it if he did” (Golding 105).
Here are just a few analyses that we learned in class: Coach Boone was a great leader from the sense that he brought the team together and created such a strong bond between all the players, but he also failed in other aspects of leadership. He was more focused on his personal success rather than that of the teams. He could often be heard speaking of just himself rather than of the team as a unit. Coach Yoast was a very selfless leader to this team. He could have taken the opportunity to leave his team and coach a different team the next year, but he loyally stuck by his players that he had coached for years on end.
• As a father Atticus can be said to be a great father. He is generally loving and caring towards his children, he guides them through right and wrong always, and he tries to make them morally strong as he is. He shows intelligent parenting, when Scout starts swearing, Atticus doesn’t punish her or tell her not to, knowing that this would just make her swear more, instead he leaves her to keep swearing until she herself realizes it’s the wrong thing to do.

Even though I was not always the best player, my dad made me feel as if I was by the small but important things he did. Many times would lose, but in return instead of being put down he would cheer me up by either buying me something I wanted or taking me somewhere where we could enjoy ourselves. Even though he always knew that my team would rarely win, he always kept registering me in hopes of getting better. In this manner he instilled in me the determination to keep trying and never give up. My father has also been an important source of information and inspiration for me.
