How many eight year olds do we know that would think about financial problems and selflessly not say if or when they are in pain? Yet in Gaines’ the Sky is Gray James is such a character who was willing to keep quiet about his toothache in order to save money because he knew to take care of it cannot be afforded as can be seen in, “’cause I know we didn’t have enough money to go have it pulled”(Memory of Kin 167). He shows his maturity when he also says that he cannot ever cry or be scared because he is supposed to “set a good sample for the rest” (Memory of Kin 167). This again illustrates that the lack
I just couldn’t help but feel sad as I read “American Sniper,” the autobiography of recently slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. He survived multiple deployments to Iraq, spending the majority of his time in the thick of battle, only to be killed by a man he was trying to help after returning home. The only silver lining to the tragedy is that it happened after his departure from the Navy and war, so that he had several years to rebuild family relationships that fell by the wayside while he served his country. But still. Sad.

“She guessed she was lucky, compared to most kids in the desert. Her father brought food home, he had never hit or even touched her and he hadn’t disappeared” (Straight 12). The author says that because Elvia felt that her mother had just disappeared and left her but she did not do that. It was much more to the story, but at least she knew her father was going to always be there. Her father is a loving dad and would kill for her.
Two months ago, my father died after a long period suffering from metastatic cancer of the liver. I tearfully watched my father crying and praying to die because of the atrocity of the pain. Once the holistic hospice care took over, he came to value whatever life was left to him. My father’s judgment was definitely impaired by the pain in a sense that he would never have thought of suicide or asking to die. Therefore, I agree with euthanasia protestors.
However, this is somewhat odd because Leper is a very peaceful naturalist. Months after his enrollment, Gene receives a telegram saying that Leper has escaped from the military.

At this point in the movie each of his players has their head down, because they are losing. He only has three minutes to encourage his team to play better at the game. He explains to them “I pissed away all my money, chased away all of the people that loved me, and lately I can’t stand the person I see in the mirror” (D’Amato: Any Given Sunday). His example sets up a personal mindset of what a loser gets in life. D’Amato was mad at himself for such things he’s done as middle-age man.
