A person’s values and characteristics are important to uncover and understand as this differentiates one person from the next. Two things that I personally value are my family and maintaining my youth. I am most known amongst my family and friends for my honesty and compassion. These values and characteristics have the potential to aid me and my pursuance of education. However, they may cause obstacles through my course of study.
Before I read the book, I could have been overdramatic and reacted theatrically to what now seems as silly happenings and consider myself to have a difficult life. Although I know my life is not perfect, I now regard my family and home life as the life I would chose to live over any other. The thankfulness this book has rooted in me has forever changed my life. Whenever I find myself in a difficult situation, I know that I have a family who loves me and will support me through anything, regardless of what it is. I realize now that this is a blessing that others may
This type of friend, in either category, knows when what’s being asked of them is too far; they are also those who want to see the best in you and will always be by your side, even when the going gets tough. Most of all, a true friendship is a mutual symbiotic relationship and it’s these relationships that are an essential part of life because friends help us through tough situations, they offer hope make someone feel worthwhile. Many books and/or short stories try to capture the importance of these relationships and in any form of literature we see either healthy friendships or ones that will never last. The last three pieces that we, as a class, had to read we were able to see how “friends” interact and how friends are supposed to act based upon the teachings offered by Aristotle on the subject matter. All three of the texts of “Melvin in the Sixth Grade” by Dana Johnson, “Book IX” by Aristotle, and “The Man who was Recklessly Curious” by Miguel de Cervantes are written on the subject of friends, however all portray their message in different light.
Honor, loyalty, and obligation toward family Everyday brave people put their lives on the line to do what is correct in their eyes, and in the eyes of others. For most people, family, religion, and freedom comes before anything else. To me, loyalty and obligation toward my family is critical because my family is always there for me, they are always show respect toward my opinions, help me when needed, and always put me as a top priority in their life. I would never dishonor, nor turn my family away for anything or anyone. While these matters are vital in my life, they also play a great role in the world of literature.
Even if it’s just a little piece of the puzzle I provide I will have helped in some way give a family the closure they will need when they are in need of comfort. I know I will also have the personal satisfaction of going home to my family every night and knowing that by doing what I do they are taken care of. I want to provide in every way to make sure my children are given the life that they deserve and the only way for me to insure that is to work for it. So, in conclusion I predict my future to be full of obstacles, rough days, and almost never easy, but also completely worth
The most important convention I’ve learned through this is how to rely on my self more and take responsibility to help my mother out as much as possible since there is one less person. I have both feelings of this experience changing my life for the better in a way, but it mostly changed it for the worse. In the past two years I’ve learned how to be a more active member for my family, and not hide my feelings. My family has become so close since this hardship has
Lennie needs George, but it is equally true that George needs Lennie as well. George was also a harsh, mean and derogatory to Lennie, however, it is also very evident that George never left Lennie despite his life would have mean much easier without him. Lennie is George's hardship, but George loves him regardless. Since the death of Lennie's Aunt Clara, George took it upon himself to take responsibility of him and his special needs by finding him jobs, feeding him, and making sure he is safe. Their mutual dependence on one another is what keeps George and Lennie together.
This, in turn, was a learning experience for me. My experiences prepared me for my mother’s terminal situation where my family did not have that base of knowledge and experience to draw from. It has made me much more empathetic to those who don’t have my level of experience to understand what is happening with their loved one. There are many times when I disagree with a course of action a family chooses for their loved one but, I have learned to accept their choices as the right choice for that family. A family who has to make any choice, whether it be palliative or “full steam ahead”, in the presence of a terminal situation for their loved one, is brave.
I also believe that to value Love is very important to my life. If you don’t love yourself, love what you’re doing; love your family, etc. It will make things a little harder for any person.

I feel that my close friends and my girlfriend, Candice, are considered my family. I have created such close bonds with a few of my friends that I can consider them my family. These are the people who would help me out when I’m in need, just as one of my “blood” relatives would. There have been many situations that I have put myself into that no ordinary person would help me out
