The four factors that greatly influenced Malcolm X to become a successful activist were his family life, growing up and living in an urban ghetto environment, prison, and his religion. The horrific events of Malcolm’s childhood would have led anyone else to a depression and a downfall. However, these events sparked his reasoning for becoming a successful activist.

By 1970 he had published his first book, The Boo, and married Barbara Boiling, a Vietnam War widow with two daughters. The couple had their own daughter, Megan, later that year. After 1972's The Water Is Wide, Conroy began writing The Great Santini, the fascinating tale of a heroic but cruel fighter pilot who terrorizes his wife and children; it helped make Conroy a house-hold name. The book infuriated his father who said that Pat blamed him for all of his lifetime woes, that he was a marine and he played hardball and Pat needed to move on. Exploring his violent childhood and his father’s anger nearly drove Conroy to suicide; in 1975 he tried to kill himself with an overdose of pills.
This is very difficult for Huck because he would rather be out playing hooky from school, smoking tobacco, and fishing. Once one of the old ladies, Miss Watson, tries to teach Huck how to pray, but when he tried praying for fishing gear, he only “got a fish-line, but no hooks” (Twain 168).

At this time Huck’s greedy father appears back in town because he has heard that Huck has over six thousand dollars in the bank and Mr. Finn wants it.

So, on that note, this is not another cliché story about losing my one true love, but about the time I lost myself. Long ago I found myself watching a movie I had no idea would be my inspiration. It’s about a little fish that swam away into uncharted waters, anxious to prove his individuality to his overly protective father, Marlin. On the first day of school, Nemo, a little bright orange clownfish --with an undeveloped fin-- was peer pressured into touching a big boat off the coast of Australia. Soon enough, Nemo found himself being captured in the net of a deep-sea-diving dentist, who searches for unique fish for his dentistry aquarium.

He has fully recovered, but the family suffered greatly as a result and his parents find it hard to deny their son anything – including a truckload of salt on his nightly serve of takeaway cod and chips. The most absurd evidence presented was the rationalisation of Simon, the father of Cuba (19-month old) when conducting parent diary entries. He's a loving
