The issues confronting Churchill could not have been more critical yet he demonstrated incredible courage and integrity both in his action and his words. He was always prepared to stand up for what he believed in, refusing to compromise over issues he knew to be right. He recognized that facing up to reality often meant confronting mistakes and he tried to prepare his people and his troops for this. He believed that every decision can teach something, that the fear of failure only inhibits progress and that the only kind of failure that deserves to be punished is inaction. Churchill was prepared to learn from mistakes and was not afraid to admit when he was wrong.
Dedication is trying as best as possible, even if obstacles pop up. For example, in Moco Limping, the dog has a weak leg but doesn't let it stop him. "He chases lethargic bees and butterflies" and "he jumps at his owner with his feeble paws". Moco is well aware of the disability being faced, yet still tries to do things any other dog would. Similar to dedication is determination.
This connects to create an inspiring tone by symbolizing a bird that is always stay with you making sure you’re going the right way. Finally, Dickinson uses diction to create a hopeful tone. For instance, in lines 11-12, she says, “Yet never, in extremity, / It asked a crumb- of me” (Dickinson). The word crumb means a small portion of something, and she chooses this word to bring a meaning that hope, even though it might be a little dash, will always live inside of you. This adds to creating an inspiring tone by meaning no matter how small your hope is, it’s always strong enough to comfort you in not giving up.
Perfectionism is defined by Wikipedia as, “is a personality trait characterized by a person's striving for flawlessness and setting excessively high performance standards, accompanied by overly critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others' evaluations.” Dr.Burns states, “Fear always lurks behind perfectionism.” This means when you try to be perfect, you fear never being enough, so you continue to strive to become something you are not, learning nothing along the way. This Quote by Burns motivates in letting you know that nobody is perfect and those who strive to be perfect are simply scared. “Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.” As stated in the previous paragraph, you will never be perfect. With that being said, you are going to get things wrong. Getting things wrong is just a matter of life.
All those breaks and naps cost the hare his victory. At the end the tortoise said to the hare, making him think long and hard, “Slow and steady always wins the race.” The moral of this myth is to teach you that if you move at a steady pace and continue to move forward you will succeed. You must also have faith in yourself and believe you will succeed. However, do not be boastful about yourself and your accomplishments. You can very well be proud without being overbearing and rude.
The bird is willing to endure these feelings because it knows that one day freedom will wait for him. The bird sings tirelessly for freedom, its only desire, its only want, its only hope. It only wishes to do what the free bird is able to do. The caged bird sings to protest the injustice that has been forced upon it. Even though Angelou’s life was filed with hardship and pain she didn’t let that determine who she was.
2.1.1) The Hemingway Code Hero: Hemingway's heroes have nearly always been defeated, or have died, and have lost what they loved, even though the stories seemed at first to celebrate purely physical courage and prowess. The important thing was the code fought by, and keeping the right feeling toward what was fought for, and when something had been won, not to let the sharks have it. Hemingway defined the Code Hero as a “man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage and endurance in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful.” The Code Hero measures himself by how well he handles the difficult situations that life throws at him. In the end the Code Hero will lose because we are all mortal, but the true measure is how a person faces death. The Code Hero believes in nothing.
They both describe how one goes through life learning from life’s struggles. Paulo Coelho says in The Alchemist “We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possessions and property, but this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world are written in the same hand” (Coelho 76). What Paulo is talking about, is that we are afraid of loss. One does not want to lose their belongings, but once one understands that one’s life needed to lose those things in order to become who they are in life. In comparison Gary Allan sings “Life ain’t always beautiful some days I miss your smile I get tired of walking all these lonely miles” (Gary Allan).
