Ben Fielding Evolution

As Benjamin transition out of adolescent, he constantly struggles with the decision regarding his future and to find the best way of becoming a man. Ironically, it is his relationship with Mrs. Robinson that helps Benjamin transformation

Nathan Drum is the type of person everybody should strive to be, and although he stumbles, he gets back up again soon after. Nathan reacts to Ariel’s death the calmest of the family members. Yet we hear him ask, “Why Ariel? Why not me? The sins are mine. Why Punish her? Or Ruth?” (191). Even when faced with the death of a loved one, he does not question his faith. He may ask why God did something as bad as taking his only daughter instead of himself, the one that committed the crimes of war, but will not denounce God. Nathan’s faith that everything is going to be alright in the end is incredible to me. The Sunday after Ariel’s death shows just how incredible God’s power is. Now even though Nathan did not give a sermon at every church, it took a lot of guts and immense trust for him to preach in one of these churches. After having the darkest moment in his life, he comes out and gives one of the best sermons I have ever seen.

Ben is also a very peculiar character.  The audience first encounters him with the full knowledge that he is dead.  Ben is also the one figure that is able to move freely between the past and the present.  Because Ben represents that which Willy seeks, Willy feels that he can achieve his goal the same way that Ben did and so he believes that "opportunism, cheating and cruelty are success incarnate" (Smith).

He makes sure Ren is safe and risks being arrested for to make sure the he, Ren, and Tom have money for food. He also makes sure that Ren will have a place to stay at the end of the book before he leaves. He does this by tricking McGinty into giving Ren his factory and all of his wealth in his will. If McGinty had caught Benjamin, McGinty would have killed him, but Benjamin still did this to look after Ren.

Knowing that Ben had a friend in China, his boss sent him to the foreign country to try to find his friend. Surprised, Ben learns that Quan’s faith has only gotten stronger in this country that persecutes Christians, and he realizes the poor condition of his spiritual stability. Quan was shocked to see his once religiously confident roommate rarely had a thought of his Savior. While watching Quan pursue his faith though every obstacle, including taking the lead role in his underground church, Ben sees more and more clearly that it is better to live for God than for work. “ Ben felt that yearning, that longing inside. He realized he’d tasted it yesterday at the fishing hole.” (137) These new situations and experiences have really opened Ben’s

Was when they got in the military vehicles and drive to the bridge were the hijacking was going on. At that time Ben father had another chance to save his son from making himself committing suicide. Was at that time in the military vehicle Ben father could have told Ben that he know how Nettie turned him down on a data.Or Ben father could have told Ben that he know about all the other thing that happen to Ben. If Ben father would have done that he would have done that Ben would thing his father wants to be apart of his life and would make Ben like his father more. But Ben father doesn't talk instead Ben Father stays quiet and in doing that Ben thing his father doesn't wont anything with him or his life. At the end rate if Ben father would open up and talk to Ben could have open up to him to his father. But since Ben cape his feelings all bottled up so no one know how he

Ben exemplified compassion in many cases, were he would sacrifice himself or his personal trails for someone else troubles. In reality this scene can compare with real life cases in the world today how compassion can be shared with people to impact others. In the movie Ben finds himself falling in love with a girl name Emily, who has an enlarged heart that he later gave his life for her to survive. Ben shared compassion with 6 other people, but given the most compassion to Emily.

Pg. 49 “She had bad news about Ben. Ben was in a coma or something. He did have brain damage. Somehow, they already knew that he would never be the same.

This leads to his joining or conforming alongside the other zombies, or the military. Ben successfully avoids the zombie attack, showing he avoided becoming a soldier to fight the Vietnam

When Ben tells Li Quan his home has been taken away, his response reiterates his faith "it was never our home our home is somewhere else" (346). What a different response than what we as Americans would have. When you place your treasures on earthly belongings and material things, they can always be taken away, but Li Quan knew his treasures were in heaven. Eventually death came to him, but he was steadfast in his faith and always learning and adapting to what God was trying to teach

Now in the literary story Benjamin has a grandfather who at the start was antagonized, became to enjoy his grandson’s company. It is a brief account of his grandfather but a meaningful one as this was the first one who gave him a sense of acceptance. The film version gave him acceptance through Queenie and we never get to know a grandfather; though one could say the patrons at the old folk’s home could have been grandparent surrogates for Benjamin. The patrons at the old folks home taught him many things but his experience living there taught him not to fear death and what loss was about which, in a sense, desensitized the character so that when Queenie passes he is not visibly upset.

The first trait that I really noticed from Quan is the courage that he had. The only thing that could have given him so much courage was, and had to be God. He had so much faith in God and trusted him to keep him safe, he went from somewhere where religion was not an issue to somewhere where him and his family could be killed for proclaiming the gospel. He was willing to risk everything he had and even his life for Him and that shows much about his character. Quan says, “‘God will make a way’”

Ben’s parents brought him up the Dissenting way, but he started having doubts of revelation. Then some books against Deism fell into the hands of Ben and Ben stated, “it happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended for them” (Franklin 43).  Ben respects all the religions in country, but to a certain degree. The churches do not help people get along and become better citizens, but they divide people (Franklin 62). He tells us, “ I have found them more or less mix’d with other articles, which, without any tendency to inspire, promote, or confirm morality, serv’d principally to divide us, and make us unfriendly to one another” (Franklin 62). Ben used Sundays as a day of study for him, he states “Sunday being my study day” (Franklin 62). This related to the Enlightenment because the Enlightenment was about making progress toward a more perfect society, therefore Ben would study trying to gain knowledge that could help unlock the secrets of nature. The prayer that Ben formed was about Ben doing good for others because that is what God wants him to do (Franklin 67). Ben’s views on “certain actions” were if people do good because they think it’s good, does it change when people tell them to do good. This goes for bad to, if people tell us things are bad, are they actually bad or are people trying to control us (Franklin 44). Ben believed that a “vicious man could not properly be called a man of sense” (Franklin 76). His view on a “vicious man” is

Gradually, Ben overall becomes sensitive to the environment. The sadness has overwhelmed him and left him a primitive form. He becomes impaired in the way that he relies on a caretaker and is unable to recapture the memories of himself after he’s gone. Once Ben becomes missing, people don’t search for him but instead call to ask where he has been. After about a week everyone in his life ceases to call or look. Annie is the only one to evoke the memories of Ben, the disabled man who became primitive

To successfully steer a corporation across the span of years by integrating its strengths toward the goal of creating wealth, requires from the CEO exceptional thought and judgment. Excellent CEOs are as rare as MLB-caliber pitchers or NFL-caliber quarterbacks. And in the business world, every day is the Super Bowl. There is no off-season or respite from the need to perform at one's peak.
