In the essay "Who Would Peter be Today?", Ismael Estrada, the writer of the essay, talks about a student named Peter who committed suicide because he was bullied. He killed himself by shooting himself in the head. Estrada never actually bullied Peter but he never stopped it. Estrada also laughed at the taunts and the harsh words made. He reacted as most children do by going along with it. I was bullied as a child and I have friends that were also bullied. From what I've seen, heard and experienced other children are of accepting it, participating and intervening. I think all three of these reactions are common in children.
In conclusion, Ender is an overall better person than Peter, for the reasons that I have stated.
Peter was highly fulfilled with his great accomplishments, he had the ability to use his understanding from different ideas of people to come up with a solution.

Duke Rawlings Ondreja Turner English 2 December 2015 Analysis of Patrick Henry’s Speech Patrick Henry was an American attorney, farmer and politician who became known as a speaker during the beginning of the American Revolution from Virginia in the late 18th century . He spoke at the Virginia Convention where his goal was to expand the patriotic views in the colonists and convince the other members of the convention that Britain was misleading them.
Sir Philip appears to be completely devoid not only of puritanical principles, but also Christian principles. When his ploy to free Magawisca in order to be liberated from Rosa is devastated, getting attacked by the prisoner, Morton, and then being rescued by Magawisca and the jailer, Barnaby Tuttle, Sir Philip becomes painfully aware of his falsity. He realizes, by comparing himself to Barnaby, that "genuine goodness ... rings true at every trial; while hypocrisy, though it show a face fair and bright, yet, like a new false coin, betrays at every scratch the base metal" (261). While the goodness of people such as Barnaby, Magawisca, and Hope will remain unfailing
"I've done nothing wrong - and you know it!" Mrs Birling exclaims, refusing to take responsibility for her actions, which is just one of the reasons why the audience may not see Mrs Birling as a very likable character. This essay is going to explore how J.B. Priestley creates such a disagreeable character and why the audience feels this way about her.
Mrs. Peters character changes significantly during the play. In the beginning she says "But Mrs. Hele, the law is the law" Towards the end of the story when the county attorney says "For that matter, a sheriffs wife is married to the law. Ever think of it that way, Mrs. Peters." she responds "Not - just that way." Her response signifies the change that has come over her. She disobeys her husband and what he stands for (the law). Throughout the play Mrs. Peter's is torn between her sympathy for Mrs. Wright and her obedience to her husband.
Peter was always getting himself into trouble, which meant Kit was always there to back him up. For example, when the red-headed miner was able to stop Peter and get him off his horse, Kit was able to barge through them and get away. Kit then turned around thinking of only Peter’s safety and not about her own. Kit is always trust worthy when it comes to helping Peter. This is why Kit helped Peter advance on his
His ability to not get offended easily and to see that name calling is childish, is an important trait to have as a parent. His morals on respecting and loving everyone, even if they are not favored by the majority, makes him an appreciable
This passage is about Peter discovering the plot of the situation because he overheard two men talking. The plan was to murder the Queen. Sir Philip did not only want the land in Cumberland but he wanted to be able to rule all the land and take over the Queen’s position. The murder would happen in the middle of the play, King Henry the Fifth as the Queen would be in the front row where the bullet could hit her. Someone would shoot her from behind the curtain while the cannon would go off so, no one would realize what had happened as the sound of the gunshot will be covered by the cannon’s sound.
Responsibility is a big deal in this book. Philip could have avoided the media and the nation if he took responsibility for his actions. Philip started humming the national anthem during morning announcements. Everyday they say “Please all rise and stand a respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem.” This has been routine for years.
Peter stops criticizing women but, but he never stops being an idiot. Peter also represents wholeness. Wholeness means a system functions as a unit. Without one part the whole system is useless. That is how Peter is. Without Peter, there is no Family Guy. Peter's antics and slanderous comments are what keep the television show afloat. Mark Lilly states," the homophobic critic will resort to raw abuse, with a vehemence that is normally uncharacteristic of the writers I will cite" (Lilly,7).Peter can also be offensive gay, lesbian, and transgender people. He is impulsive, and he does not think his thoughts all the way through. In episodes like "You May Now Kiss the... Uh... Guy Who Receives" and " Quagmire's Dad" Peter criticizes Jasper for trying to marry the same sex, and criticizes Quagmire's Dad for getting a sex change. He constantly harasses them, and causes them pain and hurt.
Philip has a cocky attitude
Peter is almost the head of there little group, and the choices he makes determines what everyone else thinks and does. For example, Peter is sent into the HJ’s because of his bad behavior and not because he wants to join. He is an individual and does not do what everyone else tells him to do just like all the rest of his peers
The quote I selected was, “Though the picture looked similar to many children’s drawings, the boy on the page was animated by a different spirit, an air of unreality, that hypnotized Nick. As if the image had some power over him, life imitating art.” (Donohue 21) I chose this quote because I feel it introduces a central element in the novel. It is often mentioned that the main character, Jack Peter, enjoys drawing. However, what he is drawing is never mentioned. This is the first time that one of his drawings is described. Describing the piece of art Jack Peter drew marks a turning point in the novel by ending the mystery readers had of what he draws. By ending this mystery, the author also ensures that readers understand that Jack Peter’s
