Atticus Finch vs. Bob Ewell William Dominguez The character of Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell as role models to their kids and others differ, both men are single fathers and this is very hard, it's harder than being a single parented mother because the mother has some sort of connection or care for the child. Some of the major differences between Atticus and Mr.Ewell are that Atticus cared about his family much more than Mr.Ewell did, so he was a good father. Atticus treated everyone equally including his children; Atticus treated them equally as shown on how his children can call him by his first name. Mr.Ewell is prejudice when it comes to anyone and no child should follow in his foot-steps but at the rate he is at, his children are. Atticus is a true caring father who always tries to be there for his family and always wants to take care of them well.
His siblings were all athletic and he was kind of the “nerd” of the family. He was outrageously smart and his family supported him one hundred percent.

Dr. Paul Farmer promoted his positive solutions all around the world.
On many occasions, Athena served as a father figure or mentor for Telemachus by providing him with the guidance and reassurance that a growing adolescent requires in his life. In "Book II" Athena told Telemachus, "'Telemachus, you'll lack neither courage nor sense from this day on, not of your father's spirit courses through your veins — now there was a man, I'd say, in words and action both'" (225).

Athena told him that he would neither lack courage nor sense, and she also stressed the fact that Telemachus needed to show intelligence because
Watching his story made me so happy because he was a fighter and he didn’t give up. You never heard him complaint, the only thing you heard him speak on was how teachers and other individuals didn’t believe in him what so ever. The comment in this documentary that stood out the most to me was when he stated that “they wanted my mother to put me in an institution but she wouldn’t give me up”. That statement alone let me know that not only did Dan believe in himself but his mother did as well. Sometimes we as individuals need that strong somebody to stand behind us and fight for us to make other people stand back and maybe look at the situation from a
In my experience with a narcissist people that I had to deal with, they expose the same personality traits that he described in the article. I recall one of my boyfriends was showing this type of personality, he was always trying to make a decision in our relationship and did not want to hear any suggestions. He thought that he was always right in his assumption. But after been with him for a year I started to realize that he was showing this narcissistic personality because he was the only child in the family and his parents were infatuated with him and over protected. Even though sometimes when we were in an argument and knows that he was not right, he still would say that he was right.

Those encouragements from the family made him study hard, because he didn’t want to bring shame to his family. He was the only one that attends high school; he’s their only hope to succeed. “They all wore mixed expressions of reproach and criticism, along with a touch of encouragement and even hope; the whole spectrum. I loved my family,”(“China’s Son” 131), the quote show even in Chen Da’s darkest time in his education, his family didn’t blame him for anything and still believe in him. After this, the attitude he had was changed, and he wanted to pay his family back with good grades.
None of us have ever met this man but yet he stands as one of the most influential leaders to several people and to history. Not only was he a human rights activist and an influential leader but also a legacy in the history of the abolition of racial discrimination and segregation. Not only is he a legacy, but an icon. An icon to those who are scared. An inspiration to those not courageous enough.
