George learns many lessons throughout the book that can be applied to a reader’s everyday life. Loyalty and Sacrifice

First, George’s attentiveness is what led him to be successful since his surroundings influenced him in a positive way. For example on page 11, he says, “I wasn’t any smarter or more special than the guys around me.

I believed my third-grade teacher when she told me that I could go to college and have a great career someday if I just stayed out of trouble.” This shows us that George

The readers are able to take a glimpse into his childhood and adulthood which contrast greatly. For instance, George’s childhood is difficult in ways that can relate to people in the real world. He is brought up in a household where his mother Kathleen’s “humourless regime mask[s her] bitterness far deeper than any of her children and husband imagine.” (92) Kathleen is still “shocked” (92) that she is a wife and a mother so she buries her feelings under “layer upon layer of domestic strictness” (92) hiding her feelings from her children thereafter making them believe that her humourless feelings are just a part of her personality. Because of Kathleen’s views towards the topic of family are bitter, she believes that her epileptic husband should be sent away to an asylum out of pure bitterness rather than care of his well-being.

     The words "It’s a Wonderful Life," tell a wonderful story. That’s what the whole movie was about. We as the audience, go to see just how wonderful George Bailey’s life really was. The movie shows the values of a family, and how much George took them for granted. He took them for granted until he felt what it feels like to live without them. This film showed that there was a lot more to George’s history than just his life. He had saved Harry’s life when they were just kids. Later on Harry stopped an aircraft from running into a lot of soldiers, which saved all their lives. So in the long run George saved all those soldiers too.

George struggles with something that many artists struggle with: the need to create great work, often at the cost of other things in life. George’s life is consumed by this, as shown in the number “Finishing the Hat,” where George expresses how his view of the world works.”How you watch the rest of the world from a window, while you finish the hat.” George laments on how his art consumes him and how he can only see the world through a “window.” The problem with the first act is that it never resolves this struggle with George. Without the second act, George never is fully resolved, left in this state of imbalance.
