This is why the relationship is seen as very rare because of the dependency and how they were uncommonly united by their shared dream of a better life on a farm, where they can “live off the fatta the lan” as Lennie puts it. George articulates this vision by repeatedly telling the ‘story’ of the future farm to his companion; Lennie who believes unquestioningly in their dream and his faith enables George to imagine the possibility of this dream becoming reality. However, George’s belief in it depends upon Lennie, for as soon as Lennie dies, George’s hopes for a brighter future
Somebody needed to convince him to get an education and a job and make something of his life” (Krakauer 51). Ron did not like the fact that a nice boy like Alex was living out in the desert, but he soon realized that Alex was living this life by choice. “Look Mr. Franz,” he declared, “you don’t need to worry about me. I have a college education. I’m not destitute.
Jarvis is an intelligent and recognizes the need for change within South Africa. Before his son died, he would often clash with his son over controversial issues, such as the natives of the land. But his son’s death and his writings moved him enough to where he understood what his son meant. His intelligence is shown as he attempts to help those of Ndotsheni. Knowing that money would only be a short-term remedy, Jarvis looks for a way to let his community flourish even after he is gone.
The Westerner who developed a farm, opened a shop, or set up in business as a trader could hope to prosper only as his own community prospered – and his community ran from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada down to Mexico. If the land was settled, with towns and highways and accessible markets, he could better himself. He saw his fate in terms of the nation’s own destiny. As its horizons expanded, so did his. He had, in other words, and acute dollars-and-cents stake in the continued growth and development of his country.
In that pursuit, one needs to grow up in an intact family home, go to college, get a great job, find a hot wife, have beautiful kids and live happily ever after playing golf in retirement (this of course, is a male’s perspective). But this may vastly differ from someone of a different culture. In poor, third-world countries happiness could be to find food or water for the day, or maybe to not get sick this week and die and early death. The argument against the current U.S standard of happiness is the strong desire to gain social and financial success can never be reached. If you have distinguished goals in life, once you reach them then what?
Taking this into account, we can conclude that there is in fact no place for real men in the Business World. Willy Loman proceeds to choose a different life from his brother and father by opting for the Business World as opposed to the Green World. He does this in order to prove that he is a man who can create his own path to success, however the tragedy of Willy’s dream is that you cannot be independent in the Business World. We soon come to realise that Willy is no exception to this as he describes his wife Linda as his ‘foundation and his support’; without her assistance the Business World would have indirectly killed him. One way in which Linda holds up and encourages her husband is by telling him that things will work out for the better.
Chris realizes that even though the job there had no salary it was not all about the money. He wanted a different job so that he could become happy with his job. Chris made the right choice of going to work at the stick market. You should always pick a job based on happiness not the money. If you pick a job on the money you may not like that job and you will be unhappy for about 30 years of your lifetime.
Was it a good place to live, a place for a man and a woman to get married raise a big family and have a farm learn a trade and settle down? In this paper I will show separate the fact from fiction. I will show the history of the West, how things really happened and what they were like, not just the romanticized legends that society and Hollywood shows as the West. Surely it was not a bad place to live, although there would be tough times
Tom’s goal is really easy because he just wants to maintain his life and survival, which can include three bottom levels in Maslow’s hierarchy. For physiological, he needs job which means money to support his life and his family. For safety, he wants security of family and employment. For love/ belonging, he wants to keep his friendship with people and relationship with family. However, he is narcissistic in the success of new product, and he told the engineer in Malaysia do not tell anyone about the problem of product in the beginning, which is deceit.
The significance of this scene is the fact that now there are no lies and his children and wife can see for themselves, how weighed down he really was by the American Dream. The American dream offered people a chance to achieve riches even if they had started penniless. Becoming wealthy in all aspects required characteristics of charisma, masculinity and competitiveness, having these meant you were on the right road to success. This could be an indication to the audience, showing us that these are the main reasons why Willy pressurizes his sons to be more successful with their personalities than their education as this is his way of living, and his way of learning how to grow up to be successful forces Willy to live his façade. “Because the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead.
