To begin, the characterization of Moses in relation with his brother Ben demonstrates how the protagonist is struggling to be a perfect father substitute, after both parents passing away. Moses makes Ben grow too fast by doing adult type activities, like showing him jazz music, making him watch old movies and making him read books about war. By getting his brother learn about other things instead of watching the TV like their neighbors, he feels proud about how “[…] he has weaned his brother, a former three-hours-a-nigh man, off that awful habit.” (2). After the death of their parents, Moses must take the responsibility of a father, but ends up controlling Ben too much by trying to educate him as an adult, while he is only twelve years old. By striving for perfection, Moses

Both men were hardworking at what they wanted to accomplish in life. Ben Franklin proposed that he would spend a week on each virtue, and repeat the cycle 4 times through the year. After that, he said he would do the entire year’s worth a second time as well. (Franklin, Pg. 52) Jonathan Edwards studied the word in depth and was very committed to understanding God’s words. He was known as “a man on fire for God.” He gave many sermons, most of which were unimpressive because he read his sermons in a monotone voice-refraining from shouting or theatrical antics. His speech, Sinner in the Hands of an Angry God, showed the exact opposite of his normal style, proving he worked hard and accomplished his goal to impress the listener with truth and a need for God. Proving that they were hardworking and committed, both Ben and Jonathan's were self-sacrificing: giving up of their own desires, unselfish. They both also struggled with the idea of humility and its

Cities are generators of economic life and source of changes in the world. Thereby, Jane Jacobs in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities puts into relief the role of cities on the social and economic levels, while denouncing the disastrous consequences of urban renewal programs. To that extent, in chapters 2 and 3, she discusses "The Uses of Sidewalks”, arguing that over all people need safety and trust in their city. Therefore, first she claims the necessity of keeping streets and sidewalks safe because they are the “vital organs” of cities (29). Secondly, she argues that the functioning of cities should be organized in order to foster human interaction in which “casual public

In Jane Jacobs’s acclaimed The Life and Death of Great American Cities, she intricately articulates urban blight and the ills of metropolitan society by addressing several binaries throughout the course of the text. One of the more culturally significant binaries that Jacobs relies on in her narrative is the effectively paradoxical relationship between diversity and homogeneity in urban environments at the time. In particular, beginning in Chapter 12 throughout Chapter 13, Jacobs is concerned greatly with debunking widely held misconceptions about urban diversity.
