During this course to wealth and respect, he does admit to making mistakes. Franklin describes these mistakes as his “errata” and uses these instances to highlight his ideal of self-improvement as a virtue. Franklin's story of his road to success from humble origins, work ethic, and virtues makes his life an allegory for the American dream. Benjamin Franklin was the youngest boy in his family and the fifteenth of seventeen children. His older brothers were prepped to be men of trade and begin apprenticing at an early age.
Lisa inspires Jeff to act upon his interest, but that she in this moment is very significant. Jeff’s actions in ignoring her and her lingerie show that he is not willing to do things because of her. He is still very interested in what is happening across the street. In conclusion Lisa Freeman does not act as a heroine though, her ambition to figure out the mystery leads Jeff on and influences him. This even leads her to trouble with digging the hole with Stella and to climb in through
Mr.O'Halloran tells Frank “You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind” (208) this opens a door of possibility to Frank because he's always being told what to do and never thought of what he can do or think. Malachy, Frank's father who is an alcoholic, influence's Frank in many ways. At one point in the book, Frank's father drinks the money for the new baby, when Frank find's him he exclaims “ I don't know what to do because I know I'm raging inside...all I can think of doing is running in and giving him a good kick in the leg...I might as well go home and tell my mother a lie that I never saw him couldn't find him” (185). By doing this Frank appears more mature than he is, this also shows how much Frank loves his father but cannot get mad at his father despite all the bad choices he has made. Despite Frank's old teachers that bully him and his alcoholic father, Frank doesn’t think of hate or bully other people because of it.
It is notable that Holden never directly mentioned that he disliked sex; He merely says that he was ‘feeling so damn peculiar.’ His thoughts about the museum of Natural History demonstrate his fear of change. That is, he likes how ‘everything always stayed right where it was. The museum represents his desire for things to stay the same. Ultimately, he does not want to transform into an adult, because he is fearful of the adult world and how different it is to the childhood. Also, he does not want other children to ‘grow up’.
According to the article, Annie is the youngest of four travellers from North America and the only woman in the group. They camp at a small village called Providence in the Amazon jungle and witness a shocking occurrence involving a deer which had been captured by the village dogs. The deer develops injuries on its thin neck as it struggles to free itself from the rope tying three of its hooves. Later, they had a sumptuous meal of well-prepared fish and a previously caught deer with rice and some bananas as well. As the travelers headed to their tents for a night sleep, it becomes apparent that the men had been astonished by Annie’s ability to look at the struggling deer at Providence without the feeling of remorse.
Eventually, Balram takes advantage of Ashok’s grief and his weakness as a master. He always wanted his masters affection and always wated to serve him in any way that he could possibly do so.

Balram’s character is one of nonidentity, uneducated lower class. He came from a poor caste so therefore had no higher education as he was taken out of school at an early age.
This idea can be seen through Atticus Finch extremely well. He grew up in an overly prejudice time, yet all he tries to do is help people, and tries to teach his children to do the same thing. For instance, on page 30, he is trying to teach Scout not to judge people because she didn’t always know the other person view of things, or their side of the story. “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” -Atticus Finch. Even with her Father’s prompting she doesn’t seem to understand, as she clearly has prejudice towards people like the Ewells and Cuninghams just for being poor, or different than her.
Antonio knows both sides of his family; he learns that his parents are like polar opposites and by siding with one, he will be distanced from the other. Having to choose will end up causing trouble for Tony and he knows that he is not yet ready to choose. Tony is ambivalent about his decision to choose what he will be when he grows up when his parents talk about him, “Antonio is a mere child, almost 7 years old, and he must choose how he will live his life later on. Antonio's fraternal line is filled with vaqueros who traveled the llano and did not like to settle down,” (41). Antonio's mother is hopeful that one day he will become a priest, however, his Marez heritage, akin to the sea, from his father’s side is unstable and roving.
Some might argue that It is because of his wife's berating, that Rip was not proactive in contributing in house work. I think that whether she nagged him or not, it would not have changed his character traits. If I for example wanted a clean home, my home would be clean. If my home was dirty, and it did not bother me, I would not clean it. I think that Rip Van Winkle was looking for a distraction like most men, a every man.
Darlene is not really oversensitive, because according to the case, Darlene wasn’t crazy about the smell of cigarettes under the best of circumstances, but on that particular day, she was caught in the box, and the thoughts of the cigarette fumes made her felt slightly nauseated. Likewise Charles Renford, was not in the best position and will not be fair to Frank and Alice, if they had to be ordered to stop smoking in the office of which they had been doing for quite some time. Although I do not agree to smoking in the office because it’s a place of public area and not an area designated for smoking, but if they were allowed to do smoke in the office by their organization, then they have the right to do so without any interference. If I were Charles, I would ask Frank and Alice to help Darlene Lambert that day, by looking up for the files she needed to complete the job at that particular period, since she was not ready to be in that office because of the smell of the old smoke. I will then try to council Frank and Alice if possible, not to smoke in their office because of the sake of other employees who are non-smokers and not necessary banning or ordering them to stop smoking, but will try to come to a comprise with them.
