Everette, and the viewers, think that his life will get better when the flood is over, that he will believe in God, leave the con life and his wife Penny will come back to him. Everette ends up saying that there has to be a scientific explanation for the flood, he stays a con man, and his wife Penny doesn’t want him because he doesn’t get her the ring she wants. This is another example of how life gets worse or stays as bad when we think it will change for the
A gutless fucking wonder!’ When Blacky explains to his father about the storm, Bob insults him rather than swallow his pride and takes his son’s advice on board. The relationship that is shared between Blacky and his father has negatively impacted Blacky’s self-esteem so much that it has led to him not having faith in his own father and to expect no support. During the novel, the desertion that Bob shows toward his son leads Blacky to be more independent, and he learns to expect no support from his father, as he cannot rely on Bob to look after him. The grand final, and Dumby Red’s funeral are examples of when Gary seeks his father’s input,

He cannot see that he did anything wrong when he fired Eva smith- he was just looking after his business interests. An example of him putting his business first is when the Inspector asks him why he didn’t give Eva more money. ‘Well, it’s my duty to keep labour costs down, and if I’d agreed to this demand for a new rate we’d have added about 12% to our labour costs.’ This shows a clear understanding that Birling only thought about his business and was very selfish towards his work. He wants to protect is reputation. As the Inspector’s investigations continue, his selfishness gets the better of him: he is worried about how the press will view his story in Act 2, and accuses Sheila of disloyalty at the start of Act 3.
He completely depends on money to meet his family’s needs and thinks that “life is money,” more than he trust in his mama and family. Walter is a fairly ineffective man in his house, who has be unable to gain his financial freedom. It becomes expected of Walter in his growth in the movie that his economic inconsistency endangers his ability to meet house hold duties.

It is more of a confusing for the lawyer because he knows what the potentials of the character, the lawyer even starts to blame himself for Bartleby’s refusing to do anything. Bartleby never leaves the office so the lawyer begins to watch him carefully. Why is the lawyer so concerned about the change in his behavior?
Americans today have much concern about the concept of outsourcing. Ron Hira and Anil Hira in there book Outsourcing America, pose the question “Who is right and why is there difference in opinion whether this is good for America?” Critics continue to argue that outsourcing has a negative impact on American jobs, the economy, national security and pose that should this be allowed to continue, a prosperous future for all Americans is dim. However, it is also profitable for all to view their complaints as objectively as possible because they would never mention the vast benefits that come with outsourcing, especially here in America. Yes, the subject does bring a lot of insecurity and confrontation, but there are those who see it differently. While outsourcing has negative and positive implications, in the long run the future for American will lean towards the positive side of the scale.
Alexandra Stephenson 2nd period-Weber 5/21/12 Ethical Choices One of the biggest ideas in Frankenstein is doing the right thing. Victor Frankenstein doesn’t stand up for what is right because he wouldn’t put himself at risk of being considered crazy or having to admit fault and take responsibility if it wasn’t in his “best interest”. We see that when people don’t stand up for what is right, others, even people they are close to, will get hurt. We see that Victor gave no consideration of the consequences of producing life on his own and only wanted the fame that came with a huge discovery. He then abandons the monster because of its hideous appearance.
All the evidence is there and it proves why this tale is one of caution. The story warns the reader that if you were mean and greedy, no one would like you. Also, the book shows how a man like Scrooge would not leave a positive impact on the world. One of the biggest fears in life is to die alone without leaving some sort of positive impact on the earth, or at the very least in one persons life. People should take caution in these facts, so that they can live their lives happily and not obtain the same unfortunate fate as
