(113) Because of the work he was involved in throughout his life, Sanders’ father was a lot like a teacher. For example, Sanders writes, “Illuminating the speed of sound by saying, “That sounds takes time to Hopkin 2 make its way through the air” (112). Saying this to his child made the world seem larger and also taught him that there was always more he could learn. Sanders farther believed highly in hard work that there was a “Mystical virtue in right angles,” (115) and that the job needed to be done properly. His son was taught properly that when a tool is used correctly, “You have aligned yourself with the forces that hold the universe together” says Sander’s (115).
Drawing from Foster’s explanations, it is evident that Reuben is one among many characters in literature to be written, intentionally or unintentionally, with these Christ-like attributes that are essential building blocks to the story of success Hyde has written in Pay It Forward. Reuben’s war injuries; the scarred remains of burns on his left hand and arm, side, and the left half of his face; and the mental agony associated with these disfigurations are echoes of a particular attribute of Christ, the suffering surrounding the ordeals of his crucifixion, mentioned in How to Read Literature Like a Professor. While unpacking boxes, Reuben comes across a photograph of a former fiancée and finds himself reminiscing over what could have been and, through this, the reader understands that it is due to the events which produced his wounds that he is who he is now, a teacher, rather than that happy man with the girl in the photo. Hyde’s shaping of the story makes it clear that he could very well be somewhere utterly different, rather than in the small town of Atascadero, telling an eleven-year-old boy he has the ability to change the world. Reuben’s wounds and past clearly set him apart, not unlike Christ Himself, and they are one of the attributes that draw Trevor McKinney in, setting in motion the relationship that will drive the remainder of the novel.

Danielle Harris Professor McKinnie ENC 1102-6095 20 April 2012 Power of the Nine Tails What is power? What does it mean to have power? In Webster's Dictionary power has many definitions and meanings; power can be analyzed in many different aspects. If someone were to be talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger then the word “power” would obviously mean strength and stamina. If a world history class were studying Adolph Hitler’s reign of terror then the word power would mean political and social.
The mere fact that Mabry was able to completely on his own work his way up to a Stanford graduate position proves a tremendous dedication and will on his part, not to mention a bright person. It is fascinating to witness how the author attributes a “sense of tenacity and accomplishment” (117) inspired within him to the fact that his relatives are able to “survive in the world in which they live in”(117). I consider the connection between Mabry and his family to be a key element in understanding his life path. Author’s quest for education becomes not only a great personal achievement, but also an opportunity to help his loved ones escape from the claws of poverty. With that kind of motivation, I cannot see Mabry fail.
How Unions Have Affected My Life By: Steven B. DeShazer Jr. When I write about what union membership means to me, I have to think about the values and principles that inform my life, that were passed down to me from my parents, and that, Indeed, I hope to pass on to my child. The principles are ones of dignity in work, fairness Of treatment, reasonableness, integrity and honesty in all dealings, pride in work well Done and a say in my working conditions. That’s essentially what union membership means to me. It’s not just about my union or my job; at the end of the day, it’s about human rights and what I consider to be the basis of a meaningful life for myself and for others in the future.
The challenge of being a parent has allowed me to understand the struggles my parents had and love them even more. Being a father has especially assisted me in understanding and loving

Just where do I start to thank those that joined me, walked beside me, and helped me along the way and continuously urged me have a positive approach to life and all that life throws at us. So at last, here it is. Much of what I have learned over the years came as the result of being the third son to a wonderful and lovely family- MADU S FAMILY- all of whom, in their own ways inspired me and, subconsciously contributed a tremendous amount to the content of this write-up.
