In the event that his expectations are met, the person is required to remain that way. If they change in the slightest way they become "phony" to him and he no longer need them. His fear of change is what prevents him from making friends and growing up. ~This quote has a deeper meaning than just catching some kid before they fall off a cliff. Holden wants to save kids before they lose their immature nature.
You can’t pray a lie-I found that out” (Twain 227). Huck is trying to follow what society views as normal. Although he attempts to pray for it, he knows he cannot because it is not what is right. The reason Huck is unable to pray what he wanted is because, in his heart, he knows it is wrong. He knows that he should not turn in Jim because Jim has done nothing but help Huck in his adventure and has done nothing wrong to Huck.
By: Anthony Rocchietti Douglas Everett explains that some people give up on dreams and never try to fulfill them. Then there are some people who begin to shoot for their goals but then realize that what they are trying to do can never come true. Then there are those special few that aim for fulfilling their dreams and do fulfill them. He believes this because he says that “There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality, and then there are those who turn one into the other.” The Alchemist relates to this quote because the main character, Santiago, follows his dream of becoming a shepherd and achieves that dream. When he is told about finding a treasure by a prince he knows that he must find his personal legend and fulfill his new dream.
Four obstacles of life. The first obstacle is being told since childhood that you cannot do what it is you want to do. We have to recognize that anything is possible. To overcome the obstacle you have to realize that anything is possible if you set your mind. The second obstacle is following your Personal Legend and giving up doing what you want.
In actuality, creating a fiction setting where life is perfect will do no good because the world of work, sadness, poverty and violence; the real world, will catch up. Sadly, ingenuity is not the savior to ones problems, but hard work and determination upon ones self is. Many believe if you can dream it, you can achieve it, which is true. But dreaming without an action plan, as Teddy did will not fix anything; only make things worse. Picture a scenario where two parents/guardians are irritated with the decision of their child.
Jonathan Dasilva Professor Andrea Wallet Enc1101 Monday-Wednesday 8:00-9:15 Failure to success Believing that to be a success in life you have to fail is just the beginning because the secret to success is to learn from your mistakes and have character strengths such as zest, grit and self control as Dominic Randolph from Riverdale Country School would agree. Learning from your failures will not only make you a better person but you already experienced the worst part so that means you know what not to do to have a better outcome. Having character strengths will make you as solid as a rock because you’re a foundation that cannot be shaken. Learning the mistakes and having character strengths will guarantee you to be a force in this world that cannot be stopped and the main character strengths are zest, grit, and self-control First, zest is how you approach life with enthusiasm and energy. If you don’t get excited for anything then how will you push yourself to improve and be a better version of yourself?
3. Refusal of the Call: “A Hero often refuses (or is reluctant) to take on the Journey because of fears and insecurities that have surfaced from the all to Adventure. The Hero may not be willing to make changes, preferring the safe haven of the Ordinary World. This becomes an essential stage that communicates
People simply just cannot start at the bottom and expect to be at the top the next day. Dreaming with limits allows a person to feel more accomplished and satisfied with their life. Having limits also makes a person realize how complicated it truly is to achieve what they want. Realizing all the complications that come with dreaming without limits brings people back to the harsh reality of life. Things simply cannot be handed to
The actual objective lies in making the voyage itself, and to face all those difficulties; to overcome the difficulties in life and gain experience while you are out making the voyage. Therefore, by the time you reach your “Ithaca” you will already have gained so much from the trip that it does not matter so much whether you reached your goals or not. For instance, Odysseus’ goal was definitely not to lose his men; but, he did. That does not mean that he was unsuccessful, even though he failed in achieving all his
“Quitting isn’t the end of everything, cause sometimes it’s open a new door for a new beginning”. Winners never quit and quitters never win, but quitting does not mean that if you stop form doing something, a plan or a goal in life that we are about to achieve, you are merely quitting to do this plan and action that you discovered that is not working and not appropriate. Sometimes to quitting is better than proceeding to do something that in the end we will feel “guilty” at a certain point, that we may find it not worth trying to purse this certain goal because it’s not giving any good or positive outcome. Thus quitting is not always the end it sometime cause us to “begin” a new formation of a positive aura in our whole being because of our past experience we are able to distinguish the good and the bad, the positive and the negative effect, that after we fail their will come a day that with a new hope and goal that will guide us to a better path that we are achieving for. All things work together for good.
