society be without role models and heroes? In this essay I will talk about how heroes positively and negatively affect our society, what qualifies as a hero, and who my biggest hero is. One of the biggest negative affects of heroes in society is that it promotes the thought of a perfect human being, specifically in one certain thing.

Julie, the main character, symbolizes honesty, Ray, regret, and Collie, who seems to play a minor role, revenge. The first character Duncan uses is Julie. Julie, in my opinion, symbolizes honesty. When the accident happened, Julie was the only one who wanted to go back and try to help the boy. She was also the only one to send flowers to the funeral, which later, doesn't seem like such a good idea. After the freak accident, Julie made the biggest change in character by becoming a better student

possibly next actions. This is evident in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations and Lloyd Jones’ Mister Pip. It is up to their characters choose to be active or inactive on the problems they are left with, as those characters make wrong choices their regrets build.

Horney. My opinion on this theory is that I totally agree with Horney beliefs that children and parent relationships are very important. And, children should never have to endure harsh things coming from their parents. I have learned that children may have resentment toward their parents later on in life, if they feel that they were being neglected by them. “Living alone and impotent in an inimical world.” The person I choose to reflect my theory on is Shantay Fields. She is not my biological
audience for this poem. She expresses denial, anger, blame, regret, humor and in the end she exclaims “Write it!”, which looks to be directed from the speaker to herself, either way it can be construed as acceptance. In the poem she goes through increasingly bigger losses that she quickly dismisses in a sarcastic manner until she reaches the loss of her lover. Bishop hesitates with accepting this final loss suggesting that it is the biggest loss of all. In her poem “One Art”, Elizabeth Bishop uses

Meaning of Wealth One of my favorite sayings is, “Spread the Wealth!” Wealth can be understood many different ways. When this quote is said it could be referring to food, money, laughter, and many more things. I sometimes see someone with a huge cookie or a fifty dollar bill and I might as well say “Hand it over!” Wealth is a large amount of money or possessions. Many people consider Bill Gates, Larry Miller, Ted Turner, or Steve Jobs wealthy men. They all had to work hard to earn their money

famous play, Hamlet. In this essay, I will be focusing on Ophelia’s portrayal in this great work. She was shown as one of the main characters, but one that was rarely around for any of the plot’s pivotal points. In fact, her death was one of the biggest plot points, but she obviously was not around to witness this. Ophelia was not a protagonist, nor was she an antagonist; she was actually more of a catalyst for change. I chose Ophelia to study for this specific purpose. She was a young girl
