When a child is young, the parents always try to get their children to understand the importance of learning from your mistakes as well as valuing other's opinions. However, it is not always easy to admit you are in the wrong. When finally solving an insanely hard calculus problem, but to be told by the teacher your answer is incorrect is never a good feeling. In an excerpt from Antigone, a playwright by Sophocles, the main character, Teiresais states, "all men make mistakes, But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong... The only crime is pride". By stating this, Sophocles points out that while some understand where they are wrong, those who do not and are too prideful to do so only hurt themselves and society. Today, pride being

In her first true taste of independence, Jackson reveals the truth of Eleanor’s hidden nature and makes it easy for people to emphasize with her internal struggle of obtaining freedom. From being

I dissent from German philosopher's Hegel's interpretation that this conflict is not between good and evil, but between one-sided positions, each of which embodies some good. From my perspective, I do not think both sides can be equally justified, due to the fact that Antigone came upon an unjust situation and took appropriate action, while Kreon is trying to enforce a law that pains the people around him. Therefore, I can justify Antigone's point of view rather than Kreon's because I can relate to the fact that your family and personal beliefs are above all else. Kreon took the predicament too far by declaring that Antigone be put to death for her courteous action of providing a proper burial for her brother, Polyneices.

The U.S. was facing hardships and so was Eleanor Roosevelt. In September Franklin came down with double pneumonia (Mann, 2016). Because of Franklin, Eleanor began taking on some of his responsibilities (Mann, 2016). While taking care of his mail she came across love letter from Lucy

There is a lot of people that get intimidated looking for employment, the poor and wealthy alike. In the beginning of the chapter, Shipler explains that people who have a successful background have an easier time getting over this fear, rather than people living in poverty. Shipler discusses how those that are ex-convicts or those that dropped out of school are going to have a difficult time adjusting into the working world. Leslie Lankowsky, a professor of public affairs and philanthropy, states that Lankowsky and Shipler both agree that the working poor have a tough time attaining and maintaining a job. Shipler discusses the “Some Others Might Eat” program which is a valuable solution for the working poor’s employability. SOME is an association that helps the poor and homeless. They serve food, clothing, and health care to the working poor. SOME gives the working poor housing, career training, addiction counseling, and therapy. SOME works with the working poor to teach them how to read, write and other necessities that are related to their training. The goal of SOME is to help people overcome homelessness and into jobs by utilizing hard and soft skills, fundamental education and career

A strength of this approach was her ability to live, not just research the topics since she was fully immersed. Since she actually works low-wage jobs and lives in low budget places, such as trailer parks, she gains a unique perspective to her research topic. When she compares her fellow workers' living conditions at Hearthside, for example, with her own "$500 efficiency," she exemplifies America's socioeconomic gap with a personal flair, not just merely research scope. Her Introduction directly confronts this issue: "Unlike many low wage workers, I have the further advantages of being white and a native English speaker." Since her data derives from case studies of real people, their narratives make the book more authentic and connect me on emotional, not just academic levels.

Eleanor & Park gives us interesting concept of two entirely different kinds of families: Park's loving, solid family life is in dissimilarity to Eleanor's desperate, poorly broken home. Not only that, we learn a lot about our two main characters because of the way they fit in or don' with their own families. Eleanor's been abandoned by her family, leaving her as an outsider even in her own house, and Park doesn't always share the same interests with his dad. Families make all the difference in the world in this book; Park's family brings Eleanor and Park together, but Eleanor's family tears them

This novel is full of chance and hope. Eleanor and Park is not your typical love story. For starters, Eleanor likes to wear baggy men's shirts and too big mommy jeans. Eleanor has crazy, out of control, fire red, curly hair and is always bullied because of her appearance. Being covered in freckles from head to toe doesn't exactly help the situation either.

Everyone needs a home and a family to get by, but Eleanor seems unable to function in any situation outside of a home. She is unable to go out and make her own home, and like a child, she needs the home of another person to give her shelter and to protect her from the terrors that really get under her skin, such as the real world. And even when Eleanor thinks she has found a home with her newfound “cousin” Theodora, that is also ripped away.

Erin was explaining how her father had an impact on her daily life. “I’ve learned to be less selfish and to help others in need. During last Thanksgiving, he brought my sister and I to a local soup kitchen. For a few hours, we made and packaged food to give to the homeless” (Kinaci). This describes how Erin’s dad is trying to get her into the habit of volunteering to do good deeds for people who are not as privileged as her. When you finally stop thinking about yourself and start to think about others, you are lending them a helping hand and pulling them from their dark struggles such as poverty to the light-filled side of opportunities such as a new beginning. As a role model, it is important to be selfless because you are giving hope to those who need it in order to keep going. You are also voluntarily leading others to the path of accomplishment and

Specifically, Singer questions why poverty exists when people are so willing to spend their money on expensive items such as clothes. He says people claim they are always willing to save a child, even if it meant their expensive shoes and clothes would become dirty. However, Singer argues they do not consider that the money spent on their clothes could have saved numerous lives if they had donated to a charity. Singer points out the prevalent conflict in society: people are willing to spend their money on expensive shoes and cars but do not think to donate to charities that would help hundreds of people. He argues poverty is a universal issue that could be solved if more people were willing to spend their money on helping others in need. When Singer reveals the hypocrisy of most people regarding spending money, he proves poverty is a widespread problem that must be solved since it affects so many people around the
