Scrooge learns one of life most valuable lessons. A kind act coming from the heart, rather than from money, is what earns greater respect and appreciation. Although Jacob Marley appeared for only a brief moment, he was the most significant spirit: for it was he who told the moral that all faults in life are paid for in
He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.
And just like in life we didn’t get to choose our consequence for our action. But whether you make a good or bad choice there is always a consequence. Being obedient is important for our safety and the Lord sees obstacles ahead that we may not be capable of seeing, so we just have to trust in him and follows his commandments. The savior is the ultimate example of obedience. The savior was always obedient.
Slim Slim is the "prince of the ranch." He’s the consummate Western male: masterful, strong, fair-minded, practical, non-talkative, and exceptionally good at what he does. He is a god among men, and his word on any subject is law. He decides who is wrong and right, who’s been naughty, and who’s been nice. The other men recognize his superiority and never question his actions or decisions.
This helps him find a way to cope with them may help you understand yourself more effectively.

He’s a man that everyone in the town looked up to. He is a loving husband, a hard working farmer, a proud father, and most important a faithful Christian.
Countless times in “The Crucible” John proctor proves himself to be a selfless man. John Proctor makes up for his mistakes and genuinely feels sorry when he has committed a wrong doing. John Proctor’s actions prove he is a good person because he shows attributes of integrity and selflessness. John Proctor
It is the value in those works those existing thoughts that breathe truth, and beauty into life. The striving of the intellectual to never cease wandering, observing, and analyzing the world around, is what I believe is lost in America today. It is lost in wasteful attempts to fill our hearts with the flavor of the week, and not with the enlightenment that comes with life devoted to more than wealth. To develop this individual identity and not absence of social class or one single social class but a greater understanding of values and their effect on society is the goal for America today. Becoming more in touch with humanity and to see from a new perspective in pursuing intellectualism, we can minimize the problem of the 21st century, that of the struggle between individual identity and social identity as a whole, not simply the problem of racial
This example of nurture is perfect because Victor says that he is not born with these traits of patience, charity, and self- control. Through nurture from his parents he could be taught these rewarding skills and traits to better him as a human being. Another instance of nurture is, “I had gazed upon the fortifications and impediments that seemed to keep human beings from entering the citadel of nature, and rashly and ignorantly I had repined”, (Shelley 21). Right after this quote in the book Victor begins to talk about how rewarding it is to self- teach and have a good head on his shoulders because of his father and mother. The next example of
“Candide” Candide is a good-hearted but hopeless young man. His tutor, Pangloss educates him that their world is “the best of all possible.” Candide is expelled from his adopted childhood home because he is caught with the Baron’s daughter in a romantic position. So he travels around the world and meets with a variety of misadventures. He had confidence and safety in following Cungegonde, the women he loved and aims to achieve her. His reliance in Pangloss’ straight optimism is frequently tested.
He was a selfless epic hero who defended the things he believed in with everything he had. Beowulf is seen as an epic-hero by the Anglo-Saxon culture because of these characteristics. He was admired for his selfless leadership, leadership, and his physical strength. Throughout the tale he shows his characteristics without falter and because of this he is a true
