Also as a child she encounters a passionate love affair, which can be somewhat comparable to her relationships even in old age. • The story-within-the-story aspects reinforces the interesting outlook on life that Alice posseses. It shows how competent she still as a senior, and disproves the mellow life she lives in a retirement community. Her blatant telling of her memories from childhood disturbed most of the other listeners in the writing club, and through this Lee reveals the blinded life that a majority of people carry with them until death. It is a natural defense mechanism to deny troubling truths that one doesn't want a face, and I commend Lee Smith for being one of the brave individuals who can look past their unconscious regulations.
Oprah brings her heart and soul into everything she is doing. Oprah is always willing to try new things and be creative. Oprah preaches self-empowerment but she also exemplifies and radiates it herself. It was her self-empowering attitude that made her emerge from a frequently abusive and bleak looking upbringing to become one of the most influential people in the world. She developed such a strong personality that she was able to climb the rungs of broadcasting very quickly, even though very few African American women up to that time had become a major factor in the media.
These values are easy to say but hard to live by and maintain. This essay will exemplify one of the seven values and how it has affected my life. When I was in my senior year of high school, I was given the responsibility to train, teach, and lead a renowned drill team. I had more people cheering for me to fail than to succeed, and I understood why because on the outside looking in, the only thing anyone could see was a quiet and meek baby faced female that could not be a day out of middle school.

This is an enriching, remarkable example of how perseverance, courage and the spirit of determination changed the lives of a teacher and her 150 students. I also chose her as a character because I found her creative, bright, and challenged by what she was confronted with as not only a new High School English teacher, yet her confrontations with her supposed “un-teachable, at- risk” students. 2. Thesis: It is apparent, the challenge Erin Gruwell is faced with is not only as a new High School English teacher, yet her confrontations with her supposed “un-teachable, at-risk” students. In my opinion, these students are not the only ones who will learn through this journey.
The black man is convicted of raping the white man's daughter, and even though all charges are faced towards the white man lying, the black man is proven guilty. Atticus Finch receives a lot of hatred for his decision to face someone who is unlike him, and his children also hear a lot from the citizens of their town. The citizens of his town always thought of him as someone who they could look up to, but when he defies their initial trust with something that they could not even imagine, they start degrading him.

What the hell do you think I was thinking of, the goddamn business? Is that as far as your mind can see, the business?” (2.557).
