Libbys Dad made the stronger argument. He made the stronger argument because Libby should have already started her project. She must deal with the fact that she didn't try her best to start it as soon as she could. For example, Libby's Dad says, ´´Failure is a part of life.´´ He wants her to learn her lesson. Someday in college Libby won't have a parent to help her do a project that she didn't do because she was simply lazy. This proves that Libby's Dad wants her to succeed. He cares about her learning the lesson and getting the job done when it matters. He also says, ´´Learning to cope with the idea that failure happens to everyone is key because it will help you with your future far more than playing in the championship would.´´ What he is

After Ruth May dies, the Price women all journey to leave the Congo.
“Don’t you study about other folks business till you take care of your own.” (Go Set a Watchman 11.123) This quote perfectly describes the moment of when Jean learns that her father may have lied to her. iI can relate to Jean in this moment because like many people, I can sometimes judge too soon and not take a minute to ask questions. Jean Louise needs to find out for herself what SHE believes before judging others choices. "That's because you haven't looked," he said. "You've never opened your eyes." (Go Set a Watchman 14.75) Jean Louise takes what she has been taught and holds on to it. If someone presents her with a new idea, especially someone whom she thought she knew, then she disregards it. It is understandable that it might shake up the trust situation but coming to a conclusion before talking it out of the picture is in a way disrespectful to

He’ll say it’s your fault…” (Martinez #156). In this quote it shows how
The second story that helps support the thesis statement is “A & P”. In this story a boy named Sammy, tries to impress a group of girls by quitting his job as the girls were being kicked out of the store where Sammy works. Sammy shortly after quitting realizes the mistake he has made and how is was going to make his life tougher. One quote that displays this lesson is: “‘Sammy, you don 't want to do this to your Mom and Dad,’ he tells me. It 's true, I don 't. But it seems to me that once you begin a gesture it 's fatal not to go through with it.” This quote shows that Sammy doesn 't even want to do what he is doing and he knows it 's a mistake, but he continues with it anyways. The quote also claims that this will not only affect him but also his parents. When your actions start affecting others negatively, it feels way worse than

I learned the importance of parenting. The significance of parenting can determine a child beliefs and values in life. When Atticus was protecting Tom Robinson in jail from being lynched by the three men. Scout quickly came to Atticus then started to talk about entailment to the three men, which made the men change their mind on killing Tom Robinson.
