Everything that Michael’s father does is in a positive effort to help Michael to be a normal kid. Despite the stress he endures, Jose still wants the same opportunities as the other kids. Although Jose is dedicated to Michael’s well being, he still finds time to enjoy his own activities
This is shown though his opening lines when he refers to Darryl as” Dad is the backbone of the Kerrigan family”. Another quote he makes is “Dad also had a way of making everyone feel important”. We see Dale without doubt, loves his dad. Steve, the second oldest son, seeks his father’s approval constantly and is always trying to help his dad with reading the trading posts, hunting for good deals and trades. This shows somewhat of his appreciation of his father and being able to connect with his dad on some level, when he asks his father’s opinion about the price being charged.
The Stranger Chapters 1-5 -When Meursault finds out about his mother’s death he doesn’t show any real emotion. It seems to me like he has lost connection with his mother and so she wasn’t a large part of his life to start with. Maybe Meursault is just in shock from the news and it hasn’t really registered in his mind yet, but it seems to me it’s more likely that Meursault is just a detached man. Maybe something has happened to him in the past to make him act this way. For example he never mentions his father; maybe his father died and traumatized him, leaving him in this detached state.
Another good character trait was that he was extremely ambitious usually he would pick out tasks that carried a significant amount of weight sometimes even he could not complete them. He was also very obedient to his parents even if it meant that he might miss out on something or if he might get hurt. (pg. 36) After all the problems that he had to face, he obtained a very tough character and learned to work together with his family. One of his most Christian traits was that he was a very giving and generous.
His “father’s presence was the only thing that could stop” him from giving up because he was the only support for his father and gave him courage to survive through each day. When his dad died, Elie felt “relieved” and again found his faith and that gave him courage to go and survived the war. Chlomo is a well respected and admired man in the Jewish community, who is also the father of Elie. He too is a strong believer both in God and the Jewish community. He is “cultured and rather insentimental man”.
Joseph Kain PSYC-305-21736 January 11, 2015 Week 1 - Individual Assignment Question 1: There is no doubt that indeed Todd McFarlane is a great leader with some awesome leadership characteristic traits. I noticed that Todd McFarlane possesses the leadership traits of learning to be strong and not be rude. According to the passage, he never gave up on his dreams or displays any rude behavior even with all the rejection letters that he received from employers. Todd McFarlane learned to be kind but not weak. Kindness is a certain type of leadership trait and I saw in the reading that Todd McFarlane was kind and considerate enough to lay it on the line by donating proceeds from his collection displays to charity (Lou Gehrig Foundation).
Michael Tighe Marianne Bird My Legacy I have thought about what stuck out at me from Randy’s Last Lecture. What I always get is the same thing, and that is not to get upset if things aren’t going your way. Make do with that you have and show others that you can still be as successful without some of your dreams becoming true. Randy Pausch’s left a legacy to his two sons and daughter for them to follow as they grow up. He left them being known as one of the nicest everyday-person to meet and how he always looked up, as he didn’t want to dwell on something that was out of his control.
"This man offered great care to his family, paid the debts of his father, provided basic needs to his sister, and parents that they were unable to provide by themselves." (Diyanni, 2007, p. 613) The man did not complain of any of this apparent injustice. However, he gleefully embraced the
Although life was rough for him he managed to learn positive qualities such being humble, wise, unpretentious, well-behaved, leads others, organized, respectful, self-giving, and most of all thoughtful. His experience allowed him to improve his way of living based on his father’s actions and behavior. He became a better person and continues to improve. He promised to himself that when he has his own family he will be a great husband and a father to his children. From the day we met to this day, we have been inseparable.
A father provides a sense of stability for his child. He provides support and most of all if not most importantly financial support. A father is known as the “bread winner” the one who provides and cares for his family. This allows for certain necessities to be taken care and indicates that he is a good parent. A father is more of a risk taker and will pass on these attributes to his child.
