This novel will make other readers think about the feelings of other people. Even though this book was very sad, I really enjoyed reading it. Charlie truly thought that if he became smart, all his problems would be solved, and he would be completely accepted by everyone. Unfortunately, he became so smart that he had no friends, since he was unable to communicate with anyone. When his intelligence returned to below normal at the end of the novel, he could still appreciate his surgical experience and had no regrets.
Charlie also worked so much that he ended up moving a cot into his lab to research, proving his avid enthusiasm. If he didn’t get an IQ boost, he would’ve never been able to do that. Secondly, Charlie pointed out in the beginning that he didn’t care that the intelligence wouldn’t last, and that he just wants to be able to experience it once. Even when he was being depressed about his mind regressing, he earnestly said that he didn’t blame anyone and that it was none of their faults. Charlie is a good person and was truly thankful for the operation.
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. I learned many things from watching this video. Quotes such as, “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” He said this with only one minute into the video and has already caught my attention. When I first thought of this quote, I thought of every possible way this is true. For example, I am a swimmer and we swimmers have bad races and great races.
Puck loves helping his master, whom he loves, and he is proud when he is able to do the things he is asked to do. He enjoys life as it is, and lives it to the fullest. He is lively, full of joy, optimism and does everything with joy and thinks that everything he does is proper. He loves serving a wise sovereign because he believes that he does by helping his master is always correct. That makes his life easier; and so he neither has to be alone nor think about occupying himself with material questions such as what to eat or drink.
Piggy is one of the first characters introduced in the novel, and he is described as "the fat boy", which encourages the reader to like him and sympathize towards him, even if nobody else does. Piggy proves to have a great deal of importance as his knowledge and common sense is profound compared to the other boys among him. For example, he is the first to recognize that their chances of rescue are very slim, he knows very well that the beast isn't real, and his ideas of survival surpass the other boy’s plans. Throughout the novel, Piggy remains wise, but this voice of wisdom is ignored. It is clear only in the book that Piggy is intellectually superior and physically inferior.
For instance, Lennie is able to have a polite conversation with Crooks, the stable hand, despite his dark skin colour and without a fight occurring. This is because the concept of racism does not occur to him due to his simple manners. This ability proposes an almost child -like naivety that other men of his time would be unaware of. Lennie needs constant attention from his close friend, George, who frequently tells him not to ‘drink too much’ and constantly reminds him to ‘go get the wood’ and other minute tasks that he’d otherwise forget. This suggests he is very simple minded in
Upon watching Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey I couldn’t help but notice some differences between the character I had imagined from reading the book and the character portrayed by actor Martin Freeman. Bilbo Baggins is introduced to the reader in the very first chapter An Unexpected Party as a seemingly typical hobbit; he loves food, his pipe and the comforts of his home in Bag End. Bilbo is a Baggins who are considered “very…respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected” (12). However, there is more to Bilbo than meets the eye as he is also part Took who are “not entirely hobbitlike” (13) due to their knack for adventure. Initially the movie portrays Bilbo accurately when he encounters Gandalf the wizard and politely declines his suggestion for an adventure, “Sorry!
After Chris Gardner was evicted from his home, his mind evolved on the world around him. The thing that saved him and his son, was Chris’s intelligence with numbers and people. His mind set him to a higher goal in life; happiness. Many things we succeed in require our minds to be used properly. As said by our third president, Thomas Jefferson, “Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
He wouldn't adapt in the definition of the society of wrong and right. I think he liked the attention; his sardonic smile, is a symbol of his well knowing of his popularity. He liked being unique, because it gave him self-confidence, he wasn't one of "the others". He was intelligent and had the time to speculate about things in life, no one had the time to think of. He saw himself as an exceptional person, but still, he was looking up to other poets, he wanted to live a life as them, living the life as a real "poet".
Because of this lack of communication, not even his own family understands him. However, the poet still shows great respect and admiration for his grandfather as he employs complimentary images such as “He could slice and build High as the head of a man” showing that he was able and hard-working, creating a basis for his family to thrive on. When he was not drunk, he “knew the green Boughs of heaven folding. The winter world in their hand” showing that he understood the workings of the world and was a perceptive man. The immense strength and pride that his grandfather held is shown the metaphor “his walking shoulder held Under the lion sun” which links back to the idea of the grandfather being hard-working and strong.
