In many books, the environment may affect a character or may not affect a character. For example in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the environment did not affect Huck, even though the environment around him was completely different from the way he was. Another example is in The Great Gatsby; the environment did not affect Gatsby because he did what he wanted to do and did not let anyone make up his mind for him. On the other hand, in Ethan Frome, the environment affected Ethan because he was stuck in Starkfield. The environment does not affect a person or character most of the time, but in some cases, it may affect a character or person.

The environment does not determine their actions. It does not determine their actions because in most places a character or person can do whatever they would desire to do. For example, in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck does whatever he wants to do. He does this by wanting to treat the slaves like a human, rather than treated them with no respect and bossing them around. Also in The Great Gatsby, Gatsby lives where people like to party and have fun, but all he does is have parties just to see if Daisy would come. At the parties, everyone is social and drinking, but Gatsby is always hiding and does not drink at his parties. In addition, there is always an exception where the environment does affect a person or character. For example in Ethan Frome, Ethan cannot do anything because of where he lives. The only thing he can do is work because he is not able to go anywhere without spending a lot of money. He is not able to go anywhere because the only main spot of transportation is the train, and that costs money he does not
In the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, Huck lives in two different settings. One of the settings is on land with the widow and with his father and the other is on the river with Jim. There are many differences of living on land as opposed to living on the Mississippi River. On land, Huck has more rules to live by and he has to watch himself so as not to upset the widow or his father. On the river, Huck didn't have to worry about anything except people finding Jim. He also had to worry about the king and the duke for a while. Even thought there are many differences of the two living styles, there are also some similarities.

Environment is the surrounding or conditions in which a person operates in, so the question is does it effect or make you who are. The environment does and can effect you and shape you but it does not make who you are. In the Other Wes Moore, Tony states "Wes is out here hustling, I told him to
For example, the hospital. This environment is one of the main ones exhibited throughout the novel. This is one environment that interacts in both a positive and negative way. The hospital interacts in a positive way by trying to save Lia’s life and provide the best health assistance for her and her epilepsy. However, it also acts in a negative way as well. The medical professionals do not seem to value Lia’s family’s wishes in regards to her health, and they tend to cross boundaries in regards to her beliefs (Fadiman 1997).
Environment is the surroundings and influences upon things including humans. These are many things happening individually or all at once. E.g. Light, temperature, water and interactions (other living things). Looking further, it has become popular to find that after the Sun, Moon and Stars the largest influence is us (human beings).
Individuals behave differently depending on his or her beliefs and the choices come from the beliefs one holds. This can have a positive or negative effect on one’s environment within his or her control and the environment that affects the human population on Earth. Some environmental conditions that humans do have control over are pollution and crowding, although the rising temperatures and noise pollution may be out of individual reach. By changing some conditions and adding items that have a positive mental influence on individuals can make some over-populated urban environments more pleasant and less stressful to the community and
Throughout the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the main character, Huck goes through major changes. The story is set before the Civil War in the South. Huck is a child with an abusive father who kidnaps him from, Widow Douglas and Miss Watson, the people he was living with. He eventually escapes from his father and finds Jim, Miss Watson’s runaway slave. As Huck travels with Jim, Huck begins to realize that Jim is more than a piece of property. During the travel down the river, Huck makes many decisions that reflect his belief that Jim deserves the same rights he has. Because of these realizations, Huck chooses to do the right thing in many instances. Some of these instances where Huck does the right thing instead of society’s

Life on the river for Huck and Jim is very peaceful. Jim built a snug wigwam to keep their belongings dry, they could just lay looking up at the sky, and they good weather. Huck says, “We catched fish and talked, and we took a swim now and then to keep off sleepiness” (Twain, 64). The river provided Huck and Jim many things, not only food, but also a way to escape. For Huck, the river provided him an escape from his life with his father and the Widow. For Jim, the river provided an escape from being a slave. On the river they were both free from their past lives. Mark Twain, in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, shows us how nature can offer an escape from society’s restrictions and evils. Even though nature has changed immensely since this book was written, it still provides an escape from society. In today’s world, nature can be utilized as a thinking place or as a place to recover from pain. There are many more themes that we can see in today’s society. Several themes of Huck Finn are still relevant today, including “Nature offers an escape from society’s restrictions and evils,” “People tend to act cruelly or irrationally in groups,” and “Discrimination causes pain and suffering for many people”.
An environment always affects a man and his destiny. In the book "Of Mice and Men" John Steinbeck greatly shows that. The relationship between man and his environment is reflected by three different, yet very similar types of conflicts. Those three conflicts are :- man vs. man, man vs. society and, man vs. self.
The environment influences many of the choices we make in life. How we life our life and certain standards we have are sometimes caused or influenced by the environment. It determines choices we make in our sexuality as well as choices we make to build upon our happiness. Many of the activities we engage in the early years can sometimes affect our lives throughout late adulthood. Some of these same environmental influences are carried down generation after generation.
The first book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, features Huck, who narrates his adventures along the Mississippi with Jim, a runaway slave. Huck escapes from his alcoholic, abusive father early in the book, and, immediately thereafter, is primarily concerned with his own survival and contentment. However, even these basic amenities are threatened as he continues his voyage south. First and foremost, Huck must survive in the wild, a task he undertakes with remarkable skill and resourcefulness. Early on in the novel, Huck's skill at living in the wilderness is plainly established, and the reader never doubts his ability to provide for himself.
When people think of their environment people think of their immediate surroundings; however, one's environment goes beyond and further into the psychological connection to one's personal environment. To further explain, Gallagher discusses three different aspects of The Power of Place: Outside In, Inside Out, and Synchrony. The book opens doors previously unnoticed about psychological ecology. From reading the book one learns that settings influence behavior more than the personalities of most people.
