Peter shows how he hates work, so the key to his happiness is just not going. Although he Peter was all for his own happiness, Milton began to think in a similar further into the film. This caused the two characters to butt heads. Milton told Peter he would not turn down his radio volume, basically just because it made him happy. A line from Self Reliance by Emerson tells that “their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid, as being vulnerable themselves.” Milton’s lack of timidity helped him gain his personal happiness therefore exemplifying transcendentalism.
In life there are setbacks and low points that a person has no power to control. The author reiterates that the setbacks never last for ever and that people need a positive attitude to overcome them.

Although Steinbeck’s insistent repetition of his characteristics makes Lennie a rather flat character, Lennie’s simplicity is central to Steinbeck’s conception of the novella. Of Mice and Men is a very short work that manages to build up an extremely powerful impact. Since the tragedy depends upon the outcome seeming to be inevitable, the reader must know from the start that Lennie is doomed, and must be sympathetic to him. Steinbeck achieves these two feats by creating a protagonist who earns the reader’s sympathy because of his utter helplessness in the face of the events that unfold.

229) I believe this quote reveals the moral because as he reads this book he find out Crusoe is all alone and isolated and even though Charlie doesn’t realize it yet he himself is isolated and lonely as well. Next the writer demonstrates the lesson by including the character’s dialogue. While Charlie is reading his progress reports with Miss Kinnian he says, “All my frends are smart people but there good.” (Pg. 229) I feel this quote expresses the theme because Charlie doesn’t realize how his friends actually treat him.

It can wary drastically but I will confine myself to the texts i have to work with and what they seem to believe would bring happiness. The first text "The question of happiness" describes brief highs as only a temporary happiness and there for not the optimal answer to our question "These emotions are fleeting, and while they are enjoyable and significant, they are not the measure - or the pillars - of happiness" This text would also have us try to interpret happiness ourselves and not rely upon merely descriptions of the word.
