Carson's Character Changes

In 2015, I wrote about my personal philosophy of the gifted learner. I stated in my paper that, “Giftedness is not a one, set definition. The definition of gifted must encompass intellect, ability, creative talent as well as emotional awareness. It cannot be micro-managed and be a “one size fits all” definition” (Dauber, 2015). People, who are gifted, need differentiation and opportunity to express, demonstrate and show their giftedness. Educators must be able to provide opportunities for the gifted learner to express his/her abilities and/or talents. Gifted students learn differently and require special educational experiences in order to grow academically and achieve their highest potential. Therefore, the education field must be able to understand not only the cognitive side of a gifted learner but the affective or social/emotional aspects too.

Dreaming About the Future In the play by August Wilson Fences, all of the characters experience a personal transformation over the course of the play. It may seem that Troy and Rose’s experience change dramatically and instantly. Rather than looking at the character Cory, whose changes are more universal and more present tense, the other characters changes are more personal. In order for his future to continue, he has to speak to his father, whom is not way too happy about the fact Cory would be wanting to play football rather than working hard and making money to support himself. Troy’s limitations in his past changed his perspective on playing sports.

Throughout the Arthur Miller’s book “The Crucible” some characters have had personality changes and some dramatic personality changes. The personality in character describes who they are throughout any book or movie but one specific person had a very dramatic change in their personality. John Proctor is the character with the most outstanding change from when he went from a cheating jerk in the beginning of the book to a honest and saving man towards the end of the book.

Cole has changed in many different ways but one way is the way he looks at things, especially the world. Cole used to think the world was stupid and dumb, but when he's lying on the ground, almost dead he says “A strange thing occurred to Cole: the world was beautiful. Yes,the world was beautiful!” Pg. 96-97.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a classic. A tale of thirty schoolboys whose plane crashes, leaving them stranded on a tropical island. All the boys are forced to adapt to their new surroundings. During their time on the island, many of the boys change dramatically or show their true colors. Ralph, in particular, changes dramatically.

In the book The Crucible it essentially weakness and the truth but when everyone's reputation is on the line the story may switch. Which means the individuals in the story might just try to save themselves and it will affect on the way how they act with one another. Therefore, there are some characters here in The Crucible that switch their opinion or even their mind set to get out of the situation. As well they may lie to the head of the court and say a name because they wouldn't get hang to death. For example, when the girls were caught in the forest they had gotten scared and told a lie just because they will not get in trouble. Some may disagree with me and may say that they are just girls and they won't do anything to harm anyone. But

Pupils who exhibit gifted characteristics along with another disability are referred to as ‘twice-exceptional students’ (Morrison, 2001; Nielsen 2002). This term is used in the article that I have chosen to review, which analyzes the responses and perceptions through interview, of one particular individual (Andrew) who was identified as being gifted and talented (G/T) and who had emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD). What the researchers aimed to accomplish through this analysis was a clearer understanding of Andrew’s community and school experiences, as they stated that there was a lack of empirical data focusing upon pupils who displayed such behaviors.

The Sun Also Rises is a fantastic book containing characters that are lost and miserable. They keep chasing after activates and relationships that don’t heal their troubled soul. They want to find something that produces meaning in their life, but most things they encounter end up short of their expectations. The sorrow and chasing is similar to the chasing after the wind described in the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. Both the characters of The Sun Also Rises and the writer of Ecclesiastes have found things to be meaningless leaving them with an empty soul.

So far in the book, Cole has changed in many ways. First of all, Cole has changed because he has begun to have empathy for other living beings. Cole continuously refers back to the baby sparrows that died. After he is rescued from the island, at the Circle Justice meeting, he feels that each living being is important because he understands how horrible it is to be slowly waiting for your death. Nextly, Cole has changed because he has begun to realize that he cannot control everything and there are always going to be forces that are bigger and more powerful than him. Furthermore, Cole has also started to be honest and learned that since, “his life had become filled with lies, and the more he lied the more he always tried to prove he was right,”(111)

In his first novel, William Golding used a group of boys stranded on a tropical island to illustrate the malicious nature of mankind. Lord of the Flies dealt with changes that the boys underwent as they gradually adapted to the isolated freedom from society. Three main characters depicted different effects on certain individuals under those circumstances. Jack Merridew began as the arrogant and self-righteous leader of a choir. The freedom of the island allowed him to further develop the darker side of his personality as the Chief of a savage tribe. Ralph started as a self-assured boy whose confidence in himself came from the acceptance of his peers. He had a fair nature as he was willing to listen to Piggy. He became increasingly

To begin with, Ben’s mom has always stayed with her family that she is with now her whole life. On the contrary, Ben’s dad had what I call a “side family”. What I mean by this is that, in the book Gifted Hands it stated that Ben’s dad was cheating on his mom with another woman, and family. Also Ben’s mom was always there for Ben and supports him with all of the decisions. On the other hand, his father is never there to even be there

There were many significant characters throughout the novel, Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding. One character that changed significantly was Jack. His actions throughout the novel has helped me understand the thought provoking idea that the potential for evil lies within us all.

In the beginning of the novel, Cole behaves cruelly when he becomes emotional. One of the most significant examples from the book occurs before the story actually begins. Cole beats up Peter Driscal after he finds out that Peter has told on him for breaking into a hardware store. Another time, Garvey meets Cole to talk to him. During the Meeting , Garvey sets out an array of ingredients for making a cake.

Gifted Hands is an inspirational novel based around the life of Ben Carson, from his rugged upbringing in inner-city Detroit to his position as director of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital at age 33. The novel foregrounds Carson’s struggle to defy all odds - aided by his iron will, tremendous faith, respect, meekness and an unconditional devotion to God.

In relation to the disability theory, Ben becomes less human. He loses certain characteristics and becomes abundantly incapacitated. Each of the form of species is becoming more simpleminded than the next. He believes that everyone thinks too much and that “Our brains are getting bigger…and dies when there’s too much thought and not enough heart.” The fact that he believes humans are beginning to overthink things and are becoming smarter, symbolizes the way he reverse evolves into simpler species. The forms that he devolves into don’t think as complex as humans do. Specifically, as he devolves, the specie he forms into at the end is a “one-celled wonder…brainless…” Furthermore, he worries a considerable amount about overthinking and forms into a species that doesn’t think at all. He is less of a man and more of a “lesser minded” animal. Through each species that he forms into he then decreases as a man; for instance, he first turns into a baboon, which still has traits similar to humans then into a completely nonhuman form, a salamander. Animals don’t use the mind to the standard of humans. It appears that Ben assimilated into different species to “recapture the ‘heart’ of life” In this way, Ben disables himself from other human beings, but is able to become emotionally connected with
