Henry Reflection Paper

One is always better alive; being dead will not solve problems. The fictional book Being Henry David backs up this theme. One day Hank wakes up in Penn Station to find out that he has lost his memory and the only trace left behind is a copy of Walden. He goes to Concord to hopefully find his identity and his past life. In Concord, he builds friendships with people like Thomas and Hailey and he starts to fit together his previous life. With all the guilt Hank has he tries to commit suicide on many occasions. He does this because he believes that if he dies then he does not have to face any of his guilt or problems. The most meaningful lesson to Hank is that it is always better to be alive; being dead will not solve any problems.

However, there was one significant feature of Richard that was not prone to transition: his frame of mind.

I took Richard under my wing with the sole intention of helping him contend with this monster of the human psyche. Let us review the progress Richard and I have made in that psychological strife.
