Roosevelt’s upbringing did and didn't make it easy for him to understand the concerns and fears of ordinary Americans. The worries and fears for ordinary American's were things such as 'am I going to lose my house', 'will I lose my job' and 'where is my next meal coming from'. Roosevelt's upbringing didn't help because he was an only child in a rich family . This didn't help because he was pampered by his mother and got everything he wanted. He was educated at home so he had no real idea of what life was like outside of his family which may of created an ignorance to what was going on around him.
Normally teenagers hang out with their friends and do not spend all their time with one girl/boy. In the beginning Lockie does not have much respect for his parents, his brother and little sister and, they do not really seem to care what he thinks. Lockie realises in the end that his family is actually really caring and when Lockie started to appreciate them it made the relationship's with his Mum, Dad and younger brother stronger. “Me Mum once said that us kids made her and the old man real happy. I always remember that.” (Page 54).

Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university. In contrast with Kate, although she has good education and job, she doesn’t have her own family and in fact, she says, “I had never thought I would really love anyone.” (89) From another perspective, she seems to be the one that is going to have a sad life. Similar with Luke, when he rejects Sally it is due to his responsibility as a caregiver. He is happy with his decision since it is for his family. If Matt chooses to go to university instead and leaves Marie, he will most likely lose his happiness and truly be an emotionless “nerd” and suffers like Kate who does not truly knows the meaning of love.
I think this was wrong of him because Mr Birling has made it in life and had it easy, he does not have to earn a living of a low wage so he doesn’t know what it is like for poor people. H is treating his workers unfairly, this shows how stubborn and greedy he can be. Then later on that same night Mr Birling was very inpatient with the
More privileged guys his age would be away at college or have a better career ahead of them. His parents drink Schlitz out of cartoon glasses, and his mom irons his shirts. None of these signs are indicative of an affluent family, but that doesn’t stop him from imagining that he is better than the other middle class “sheep” (735), his dreary manager, or anyone else for that matter. He feels a sense of superiority. He seems to dream of crossing the class line into a higher status, free of the oppressiveness of his own life.
Holden was kicked out of several schools, and he was left on his own at Pencey. Holden did not fit in well, and he cannot get along with anyone. Holden is affected very much by previous events in his life, and this continues to define who Holden is today. Holden, miserable after his brother Allie’s death, is in deep depression.
His sister wasn’t even born; his brother took care of his own business. I mean Holland had a tough childhood as in socially and being with his family. Money wise he had it all and that’s another problem. He might have it all but it hurt him because he had nothing to work for, life was a breeze. He thought he didn’t need family and his family didn’t need him.
So this quote has no meaning because money did buy them happiness or at least for Tom it did. These two characters have similarities and differences. For one Gatsby is considered to everyone in east egg “new money.” Gatsby was very poor and worked his way up to wealth. Tom was born with all of his wealth and is not a hard worker like Gatsby. Secondly Gatsby is a dreamer and Tom has no goals in his life.
As shown, Holden is depressed in many ways: he fails in life, he is lonesome, and he still is affected by his brother's death. Holden is a failure because he cannot pass any classes in school, except English, and he cannot do anything right. He is lonely because he simply hates mostly everyone and, therefore, does not have any friends. Holden is depressed by his brother's death because that was his best friend. Holden's depression started with the loss of his best friend/brother and continued on with failure and loneliness throughout the rest of his
