Up until now I have been deceiving myself. My father talked me up so much that I just believed him. But now I’ve changed. Telling my father would make no difference; he was so stuck in this idea of the American Dream even though he’d failed to achieve it. My father always believed the key to success was to be well liked and have a job, I don’t care for these things
Although Uncle Peck did that to Lil Bit, there was no anger from her towards him. It was kind of like she accepted it, or she didn’t know any better because this was her uncle- it was family. It’s strange because not only was Uncle Peck preying on his niece, he was also her mentor and teacher whose driving lessons gave her the ability to realize her identity as an individual. Though some will view his actions as disturbing or perverted, we see he is not genuinely happy in his current state, he doesn't push Lil bit, but instead lets her make the decisions. He mentions several times “he’d never do anything she didn’t want him to do”.
From the Ethical Lens Inventory I have learned that I value equality. I think this is true for the most part because I like to see everyone being treated as equals no matter where it is. I know in some situations like the work place for instance, this is not true. Certain bosses like to choose favorites and let them get away with certain things that others can not get away with. As much as I hate to bring it up; I believe that race has a lot to do with how certain people are treated.

My very first reaction when I saw the first minute of the lecture, I was surprised. I first thought he would sound monotone and with no emotion but by watching the first minute of the video, he was enthusiastic and making jokes. He was prepared for what is going to happen to himself. He puts things aside that does not have anything to do with his childhood dream such as his diagnosed cancer, his family, and religion. He also does push ups to prove him that he is healthy and in good condition so people do not need to feel sorry for him.
My dad always told me that school comes first and sports come second. When he would say this to me back in grade nine, I would never believe him and think to myself as long as I am a good enough runner, I can go to any university in the states that I wanted to go to. So all the way through high school, I just cruised by not caring about my marks. Then when grade
Even though he did not commit the crime he was accused of. Even with his freedom with his reach he did not take it because, he believed that the world would finally see that he was innocent and he would be set free for the right reasons. Dewey Bozella was a man who his whole life was based on hope. He had hope and faith that he would be set free.He had hope in the judicial system.He also had to depend on people to realize that he was a innocent man.When times got tough and his faith grew weak he still pushed though it.Bozella was on the edge and he no no reason for hope he still continued to believe he would be set free.Dewey Bozella is a prime example of how hope makes all the difference in any situation. The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs".
