The novel A New Kind of Dreaming by Anthony Eaton has a moral message of fighting for what you believe in and seeking the truth. Eaton has successfully portrayed this message with the use of characterisation, events throughout the plot & point of view. Eaton has used the characters in his book to deliver the message quite well. He has used Jamie, who is the newcomer, as the marginalised character seeking the truth. Whilst Sgt.
Meursault is the complete opposite; he lives in the moment and goes along with things without thinking them through. He is neither a controlling nor an overly organised man and seems to live with the basic necessities. Significant events like marriage or a parent’s death would normally have a massive impact on the individual person, but for Meursault, this is not so. Significant events such as these do not seem to matter to him on any sort of sentimental level. For example, he did not react how people expected him to over his mother’s death in the beginning of the book, instead of being
The first three habits deal with moving from dependence to independence. Habit 1 is Be Proactive: this means you taking full responsibility for your own life. You have the ability to choose your responses. Proactive people are effective because their behavior is product of their own decisions rather than being a product of their condition. Proactive people always find an optimistic alternative when things go wrong.
Characters from the book that emerged together through the six different but interlinked stories, were described as being ‘aware’ of their moral values. Therefore, this enables equality between morality with the arrangement of rewards and punishments, or with a system of right and wrong actions across time. Each character are representatives of different themes (such as the theme ‘injustice’) that due to the context of each story, act as catalysts to the rising towards the climax of each passage, and as a whole, they create a moral message that is transmitted to the reader. The moral message in this novel is clearly stated. The author has described it in a narrative but realistic manner rather than presenting his personal point of view.
Good things do not happen to good people in the world of this story, and bad things do not happen to bad people. Even more, Jake behaves as though he is, as Comte might say, alone in an indifferent universe. He shows no indication of fear of punishment for his actions and choices. This character knows there will be no divine retribution. As readers, we find ourselves reacting in a very primal way when Jake drives away from the scene of the crime having gotten away with such abysmal behavior.
The first reason why getting tough on criminals does not work is because for the most part, they are not deterred You must Login to view the entire essay.

For smaller crimes such as parking violations and speeding tickets, deterrence seems to work because people committing these crimes are not considered criminals, rather law abiding citizens who have made a mistake and are aware of the punishment. The fact that the penalty for armed robbery has gone up to twelve years from nine years does not pass through a criminals mind because they genuinely do not expect to be caught for the crimes they commit.
Also this quote says to get society out of your life when necessary. For example if you had a hard day at work then go for a walk and get some fresh air. "He may not be a hero, but he is free. Be psychologically free enough and strong enough to live independently, leaving society and entering society on no one’s terms but your own". This quote is another example which says you don't have to be physically strong, but mentally strong.
Covey defines being proactive as “It means more than merely taking initiative. It means that as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives.” Proactive people are people that take the worst of a situation and turn it around and make the best of the situation. Avoid being reactive and looking at the negative side of any situation. One of my favorite parts of this chapter is when Covey explains the difference between being proactive and reactive. Many
This in itself is not right, and needs to be changed soon. A student would never consider quitting a sport or activity just because they could get a ticket on their way home, Dropping these school related events is not a choice, so a new alternative needs to be put into place. Another reason why the curfew is flawed is the reason it was established in the first place, to prevent crime. But this law has done little, if not nothing to decrease the amount of crime. The amount of crimes throughout the city has remained at a relatively constant rate since the curfew was put into effect.
