The Theme of Forgiveness in The Red Kayak “Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.” - Susan Somers. It is very important to forgive because it is something done as a gift for oneself, not for the person being forgiven. Forgiveness is a very important theme in the novel, The Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings. First, the theme of forgiveness is shown through the conflict between the D’Angelos, JT, and Digger. The D’Angelos need to forgive the boys for drilling holes in the kayak, essentially killing Ben, because JT and Digger received a punishment.
Therefore, Jerry made the next best decision - running the boys into the ditch to stop the harassment. Mr. Benedict happens to be a quick and mature thinker, which he demonstrated in the last paragraph of the story. Speaking to Fran, he told her “I just figured that if they wouldn’t run me off the first time, they wouldn’t do it the second, either.” He took a calculated risk to ensure their safety, and succeeded in keeping them both out of harm’s way. The last justification of my thesis is how he maintained a level headed and calm demeanor in spite of being dangerously threatened. Again, speaking to Fran in the last paragraph, “I’ll
At the end of the story, Instead of finding the truth, William decides to accept the person his father is. Besides the attractive story of the book, Edward’s heroism characteristics are interesting.

Courage is also an additional strength you need. The reason you would need perseverance is so that even when times are tough, you still keep on going.

“The best thing we can do is get ourselves rescued,” (Golding, pg.53). Ralph still shows the best of a person when he is selfless. By wanting to get off the island like everyone else he knows what it takes to get off because his dad is in the marines. In the novel, “Lord of the Flies,” by William Golding, he emphasizes that Ralph is an ego in the book by keeping everyone together and safe. What Ralph does is he teaches us to be selfless and try to help other people before ourselves.
This is why he is easily led because George told him to fight back against Curley and he did and when George tells him to stop he does. He isn't very powerful because he needs George to look after him and tell him what is right and what is wrong. He has a lot of power over Lennie, for instance, ‘for god sakes don’t drink so much’. He can make Lennie do anything he wants him to do. Furthermore, Slim’s power on the ranch makes him a voice of justice throughout the novel.

Leadership and Management Suzanne Hickle 6/09/2014 LDR/300 Mark Guberman Winston Churchill was what many would call a world of a leader. He led his country through the biggest turmoil of the 20th century. In present day his notoriety and leadership ability is still a common desire among politician figure heads as well as those leading a country through a difficult time.

Readers can learn to follow the examples of the good parent and they can now avoid doing bad things to their own children. Atticus and Calpurnia had done their part as great parents and surely Jem and Scout would grow up to be good parents themselves. But for Bob Ewell, his children would probably grow up thinking that what their father did to them was a good act and they will follow his examples, thus making them bad parents and bad examples for their future children. A good parent will never let their children be astray from the right path and will always try to teach them the right ways and how to be good parents themselves in the
