The Fault in Our Stars depicts Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer. The book chronicles her relationship with Augustus Waters, who has also been diagnosed with cancer. Throughout the novel, Hazel constantly struggles with her identity in relation to her disease. She is conflicted whether to accept the prescribed image society has of her or to embrace her true inner self. Through a period of self-realization, she eventually comes to terms with and redefines her identity. Although society may define an individual’s self-image, The Fault in Our Stars demonstrates that identity is defined by the inner self, rather than external forces; in turn, that self-perception deeply impacts one’s perspective on life.

It is often said that the people one surrounds themselves with can reflect things about themselves, such as their beliefs and ideals. One’s friends and acquaintances can reveal subconscious attractions to people that fulfill their ideals or agree with the things they say, but these relationships can also help one discover their personal philosophies by reinforcing opposing views. Indeed, in J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, the way Holden reacts to and interacts with secondary characters reveal his established philosophies and the values he holds most dear to him.

In Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the main character, Holden, had many opportunities to learn life lessons but every time his faulty thinking caused him to focus on the problem and not the solution. Whenever Holden looks at situations he negatively overgeneralizes them with a bad attitude rather than learning from it.

He is on the most important characters that influenced the plot because of his deportment in the scenes the class has read, deportment is his behavior and manners. Walter became very selfish, he believed that he should have a say with what happens with the insurance money, which accumulates several problems between Walter and all the other characters in the house. In fact, there is a great deal of hostility between Walter, Ruth, and Mama. Walters actions have even threatened Ruth and his marriage. It shows that, as a character Walter is becoming shallow and he is losing family value. In one of his arguments between him and Ruth, Walter exclaimed, “and you turn mine too, baby! That was my biggest mistake.” In these two short sentences Walter is telling Ruth that is biggest mistake was marrying her. With Walter saying this leaves the question, that will Walter and Ruth remain married or are their problems larger than they

Everybody loves Raymond is a show that was first released during the year of 1996 and ran all the way to 2005. The show is centered around Ray Barone, a talented sports writer who constantly has to put up with his wife, brother, kids, and even parents. Raymond is generally very sarcastic, no matter what the situation, and he does just about everything in his power to not have to deal with his kids. Instead he leaves most of the responsibilities of child care and cleaning to his wife, Debra. Although Everybody Loves Raymond manages to pull off being a wonderful show, it still plays into the stereotypical behavior of Gender roles, which ultimately prevents society from making any real progress.

Walter just cared about money he didn’t care about nothing he was only interested in money because he wanted to open a liquor store so he was only interested in mama’s money,mama didn’t want to give him the money for something like that. Walter didn’t care about his wife being pregnant because he was mad at mama for buying a house so walter didn't care about anythng.Walter didn’t believe in his sister beneatha wanting to be a doctor he told her to just be a nurse. Walter was just waiting for the money to come because he was thinking mama would give him that money. Mama didnt give the money to walter so he got mad and run away from home and did not show up for two days.WALTER…Just tell me where you want to go to school and you’ll go.

Walter has changed his whole family. He has started so much conflict with all his family. His family at this rate will be better off without him. “You ain’t looked at it yet and you don’t aim to speak on that again? You ain’t looked at it and you have decided-well, you tell that to my boy tonight when you put him to sleep on the living room couch.” This just shows how much he wants to have HER money for himself because he is selfish and a shallow person. He is the reason why the family is tearing apart. Also, Walters actions show how edgy and inpatient he is. (Violently flinging the coat after her) He starts to get very violent, he flings things, slams doors, yells at mama, and starts to get verbally abusive towards her. He doesn’t know how to let things go and how to think in another person’s perspective. He only wants to do what he wants, he doesn’t care what the other family members want he just knows what he wants to get and forces the decision upon them all.
