Douglas says that he had to be victorious, “because [Douglas’] aim had not been to injure [Covey], but prevent his injuring [him].” (Douglas, p.186) This brutal struggle, Douglass recalls, "rekindled in my breast the smouldering embers of liberty (. . .) and revived a sense of my own manhood" (p. 187). From this incident on, Douglas is hardly physically punished and every attempt of brutality is unsuccessful.
However, John Proctor eventually told Abby that he would “cut off his hand before he reached for her again”. This showed that he is a genuine man who would never cheat on Elizabeth. By the end of the book I was certain that John Proctor was the true hero of the story. Throughout the whole play I learned that he was capable of doing anything he set his mind to, and he always put others before himself. He was an extremely perseverant man, and no matter what anyone else said, they could never stop John Proctor.
He does not hide anything from anyone nor does he excuse himself for his way of being. He is brutally honest and does not care whether you accept him or not. The next character is Tub. In a friendship circle, he is the one that is picked on and no one really cares what he feels. “You were lost.
Throughout our history, America has known many great leaders. Our Presidents serve as leaders of the free world and the Commander-in-chief of our Armed Forces. With that much power, comes a responsibility greater than any other in this nation. Our greatest leaders have taken that power and transformed it into the very foundation our nation stands on today. They use courage, compassion, determination, intelligence, and the capability to orate to billions of people; while making them each feel they are a part of one family.
Bartleby, the Scrivener The nameless narrator of Melville’s “Bartleby, The Scrivener” tries to be a charitable man, yet fails at this because of his oblivious nature. He is generally known as “an eminently safe man,” because he is “one of those unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury, in any way draws down public applause.”(2405) Essentially, he has little to lose in the opinion of many. He believes that “the easiest way of life is the best.”(2405) He has been very successful living in such a manner; consequently, he must be inclined to believe that everything has a straightforward, simple solution. This is important when he tries to help Bartleby. He believes that giving Bartleby a small sum in addition to whatever money is owed and sending him on his way will at least put an end the difficulty of having the problematic Bartleby in the office.
In the book “The Once and Future King,” I would have to say that my favorite character is King Arthur. There are plenty of reasons why I chose Arthur to be my favorite character and it was hard to narrow the reasons down. One reason why he was my favorite character was simply because of the person who he was. He was an ideal child and carried the characteristics of his youth to his royal status. Another reason why Arthur was my favorite character was what he does when he comes to royalty and how he shapes his government with an important philosophy.
Gene learns shortly after that Finny never was trying to bring him down, rather he thought that his academic success came naturally to him. Finny is a very admirable character, one who everyone truly enjoys being around. Finny is also a very innocent character, on page 111 he mentions “… And when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love.” No one with any experiences of adulthood would think that statement to be true. Finny also does not believe in losers or winners in sports, nor does he believe the war
He instead persevered and didn’t allow polio to hinder his number one priority, his country. Before, I considered him to be one of the top four or five presidents in U.S history, but after learning more and more about what he did, and not only what he did, how he went about it, I now consider him the most effective president in our nation’s
In my opinion I believe that Barack Obama should win the 2012 election because he has helped the united state. He always tries his best and never gave up since the beginning. He has been a good president by helping the economy, taxes, Afghanistan, energy and immigration. I think that Obama did a excellent job this last 4 years and I think he could do a better job if he gets elected one more
God accepts us even if we have sinned against him by repenting and doing good deeds. Our commitment, adoration and respect we owe it all to God. The Forthcoming It doesn’t matter how complicated past and present may possibly be, because the three religions are optimistic about the future. They believe that evil and suffering will not rule
