Many people go into casinos with a game plan thinking once they double their money or once they win anything at all, they will get up and walk out the doors. They don’t, for a second, think that. They will go into the casino and lose an entire paycheck. Thousands of people across the nation are in an enormous amount of debt because they have no self control and they have a gambling addiction.
There are many people in this world do jobs they don't like, but have to do it because they don't have any other ways of income. What come in your mind when you see an average joe win a million dollar using his skill and doing the thing he loves. This will take us back to the picture that I used to present in the class.

Starting with John Oakhurst, a gambler, already showing a group of people who in today’s world like back then have a somewhat negative stereotype, especially if their families suffer financial problems from their habits. However, Mr. Oakhurst ended up bringing the group of people together to help each other when they were stranded, making sure everyone obtained enough to eat and places to sleep. He refused to simply send them out to fend for themselves. As quoted in the story, “He was too much of a gambler to not accept fate, with him life was at best an uncertain game, and he recognized the usual percentage in favor of the dealer” (71). So although he is a gambler, he is a smart one, and knew how to handle money, but still make a profit, and was a level headed person when it came to his profession and life.
For the most part, the characters in this game really aren't anything special. And i only say that because of how underdeveloped they are. The mast majority of characters in this game only get a few seconds of screen time before their gone forever. Really, i'm very confused as to why half these characters even exit, other than just to add random jokes here and there. Another thing that really bugs me about these characters is that they absolutely abuse stereotypes; there's the big bumbling bouncer, the smooth-talking, chain-smoking mafia boss to the bitter, old, cranky man.

The attitudes in the novel of many characters do not cause anything but harm as it is evident in the course of the story. This negatively impacts many inhabitants of Maycomb. It essentially caused much emotional pain to Tom Robinson who was eventually sentenced to Jail unlawfully. This lead to his death when he was trying to escape Jail where he suffered physically. It also had its negative effects on Atticus, when he was called degrading names like ‘nigger lover’ and being treated badly by the townspeople for defending Tom.
Roger Chillingworth was shown to be ambiguous because he was first described as a vengeful horrifyingly natured person, yet shows glimpses of human characteristics, such as assisting Hester and her child in the beginning and leaving everything he left behind after his death to little Pearl. Another example of ambiguity was Hester Prynne, because she at first is someone a reader could pity, then she becomes a cold person with no sense of feeling, then later to a sympathetic fortunate woman. Finally, Dimmesdale’s revelation of his chest marks the last questionable situation. He could have had something physical on his chest because he has always shown pain in that area, Chillingworth acted as if he found something on his chest while the minister was fast asleep, and it would be most likely that Dimmesdale only revealed his chest to the Puritans if they could observe anything significant on his
Captain Forrester believes in courtesy, which can be seen when he specifically asks each woman if his cigar smoke will offend her. (28) We also see his chivalry when he carries Marian through the wilderness after she hurts herself. Lastly we see that Captain Forrester is generous because when his bank fails he gives the investors money out of his own pocket rather than just abandoning them. Captain Forrester’s values symbolize the values of the pioneer generation, hope, chivalry, courtesy and most importantly generosity. The generosity of the pioneer generation shows that the rich of the pioneer generation were not greedy; their goal was not just to make a profit but also to do what was fair and honest.
