Hard work pays off in the long run. Mr. Paine’s quote is also telling the truth. When he says “ The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph…” he’s saying that the harder you work for something the more
The thoughts of his friends degrading him for eating “Asian” food for lunch dwelled in his subconscious for months, or perhaps even years. Pedro’s solution was simple: get rid of the traditional Asian food and eat whatever everyone else eats, which was Lunchables. He simply wanted to fit in and not be teased anymore. He felt utter humiliation, so refraining himself from bringing what his mom packed him for
GLORY ROAD The film glory road was nothing short of inspiring, no matter what color you are or where you come from any culture can appreciate the message this film brings. Overcoming adversity with all the odds stacked against you, where the true test of a man’s character is shown and how much that person can withstand. With nobody believing in you is when you and your team become family and stand for one another despite your cultural and physical differences and be there for each other through thick and thin. To not only go after something, but to perservere and stride for perfection and be the best. Despite whatever adversity one faces and whatever time it is endured in, to always believe in yourself
While Wilson is on his way to see Mr. Carson, we learn that he is very hungry and hasn’t eaten in days. He says that if the other servants would have known that, they would have generously given him an abundant amount of food. He also tells the reader that like him, the servants’ hunger and cravings have turned into a numb “sickness”. Gaskell is not being objective nor trying to make fun of the way society was at that time. She is
Doodle’s brother and Joe compare because Doodle and Simon both depend on these boys for things. They both help to mentor, push, and help Doodle and Simon to do their best. Simon had an impeccable faith in all and in God. Doodle had faith in his brother and himself towards the end of his life. Both boys have pride in themselves because they both are pushing themselves for the better, and they believe vanity is utterly unimportant.
A heart with endless faith and hope is unbeatable. No matter how challenging the process of revolution is, with a strong mind, nothing is impossible. “No, what makes a man, man, is mind, and minds aren’t all the same value” (Wyndham, John. The Chrysalids. 182.
As he is telling Ralph to blow the conch Piggy is also thinking of ways to be rescued and get food. An additional example of Piggy’s leadership is when he convinces the boys that they might be rescued. He specifically states “ ‘I said we could all do without a certain person.

Delbanco’s interpretation that Thoreau creates world that we both need and fear is basically saying that Thoreau creates the perfect world that we would need to best survive and would strive the best in; however this world is something that we as people are not used to and have never experienced so we would be skeptical and scared when it is presented to us. I definitely agree with Delbanco’s statement about Thoreau’s world. Although it would be nice to love in a world where things were based on a man’s conscience rather than government, and the people played a bigger part in how things were ran; it would be something nobody is used to therefore no one would really know what they were doing and who is to say we can trust everyone’s conscience because there are some people in the world with bad consciences. In my opinion Thoreau’s world would only work in
I sometime have a feeling like a leader that has the courage and confidence to do anything that may seem difficult to accomplish. The only difference is that his work is far more superior then mine. His situation is far more difficult than mine. I only feel like the Box Man when I am work I like to do and things I have to accomplish.

Forgiveness is more powerful than hatred, and love and hope is more powerful than any weapon of war. The hero’s journey is one that appeals to a universal audience, regardless of your own context, because we, as humans, all have the capacity to be a hero. We all have challenges in our life we need to overcome and this then brings realisation and growth. Every step of the way, we learn something about ourselves and the world around us. As a primitive emotion of humanity, we all strive to be successful, to be happy.
