The value of Hope is proven in Elie Wiesel's memoir Knight as well as throughout The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy. Although the key to survival is maintaining hope, while simultaneously the delusions can be one's Achilles Heal.

and putting it onto your own shoulders. I met Jamie, from the State College YMCA, through Dawn. I reached out to Jamie and asked if she needed any help with her part in the event; she needed help setting up tables at various YMCA locations throughout Centre County. Although it was short notice and required a few hours of driving, I offered to help Jamie set up the tables. Because of my helpful nature, I took the task off of Jamie’s hands and completed it even though

In the novel, “A Hope in the Unseen” written by Ron Suskind explains the journey of Cedric Jennings from the Inner City to the Ivy League. As a means of survival, having had to attend a high school in one of Washington, D.C’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Cedric Jennings has had to isolate himself from his peers so “he could stay on course and keep his sanity”(Suskind 293) in order  to leave the neighborhood behind and pursue his dream of attending an Ivy League school. When he does reach his dream of attending Brown University, he still holds the idea that isolation is the key of survival. He still holds the idea that their is a battle between himself and his peers based on their different values or academic successes. As a result, conflicts erupts by the fact Cedric won't give up his past and live toward the future or the now. Eventually he realizes that “being alone doesn’t seem to be working”(Suskind 293) anymore.

The guards seize Friedrich by the arm. He stalls for as long as he can by conducting to the Beauty and the Beast waltz he hears in his head. Mike reaches and strains his arm down to the branch where the harmonica is nestled. The wind rushes past his head as he tumbles down to the ground. These are the intense situations in which the main characters in the novel face life or death situations, and whether they would make it out in one piece is extremely unlikely. A harmonica bounces around this story and becomes a symbol of hope for all three of the characters. Hope is their only resource to draw the strength they need. They were saved by hope. The light in the darkest of times was proven to them and shown to them by hope. In the award-winning novel, Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan, the harmonica symbolizes hope. It starts its long journey in a mystical forest with three sisters.

The first time I heard “Ar'nt I a Woman?” was freshman year of high school, during our annual African-American Heritage assembly. The crowd, always restless and inattentive, chattered and snapchatted away as the speech and presenter were announced. A lanky girl shuffled on stage, folding in on herself as she walked, arrived center stage, and began to speak. As she went on, her spine straightened, her murmurs turned to phrases enunciated so clearly her tongue seemed to be working three times as hard as a normal person’s. By the end of the speech, she had the undivided attention of the audience, all holding their breath because of how passionately and honestly she presented this glimpse into life as a black woman. Both Chapter 4 of A Shining Thread of Hope by Darlene Clark Hine and Kathleen Thompson, and Sojourner Truth’s “Ar'nt I a Woman?” speech serve the same general goal: showcasing the mistreatment of African American Women by society . While Truth’s speech is from her perspective, full of rage and frustration, A Shining thread gives her experiences important context. .

Doors of Hope combats many issues in order to help ex-offenders improve their lives and stay away from a life of crime. However, the most pressing and most difficult issue that Doors of Hope works to combat is drug addiction. All of the girls who are a part of the program suffer from some type of drug addiction whether it is substance related or alcohol related. From a biological perspective, drug abuse produces changes in the brain that contribute to the difficulties people experience in combatting drug addiction (Volkow, 2007; Horvath, Mishra, Epner, & Cooper, 2013).

Many times, authors have a title to their work that can be intriguing and thought provoking, as if it were bait to an inevitable hook that would catch and keep you enthralled. In Alan Lawson’s circumstance, this is not the case. In Lawson’s A Commonwealth of Hope: The New Deal Response to Crisis, the title is very straight forward, as most would expect from a work mainly targeting the attentions of colleagues and other scholarly minds. The highly biographical book leads its readers on a chronological story of the Great Depression, the social and political life of Franklin Roosevelt and the progression of reformist ideas that sparked the New Deal.

Everyone or body has faith in themselves,but when hard time comes you pray to god and ask for something that you want to happen,but if nothing happens then what happens to your feeling or faith,you might feel that the god is betraying you,or gods aren't real.In the story Night by Elie Wiesel(September 30, 1928-July 2, 2016) a Auschwitz survivor tells his story about the experience that he had in Auschwitz and the horrible griefs he seen and been through. Faith is not the only reason that pulls people back, it the huge big hopes. The Jews still have hopes and faith when they are still on the train and camp and the hard labor they do and the faith they have in themselve how work is going free them free. This is how much faith/hope does the people that

On Monday, October 17th I volunteered to help the American Red Cross and other organizations at Purnell Swett High School. I was directed to a woman named Priscilla who oversaw a portion of the outdoor area. Our group was quite diverse. It consisted of young high school and college students, middle-aged parents, some senior citizens, and even a girl who appeared to be no more than nine years old. Everyone was in good spirits despite the recent tragedy. Our task seemed to be simple enough, however, we would soon discover it was going to take more planning. We were assigned to the rear of the school where we would sort through various bags and boxes of donations. Priscilla directed some of us to carry items to different rooms based on their size and whether the clothes were designed more males or females, children or adults. As organized piles began to form, these volunteers posted signs indicating the sizes in those piles. Priscilla asked a different group to take the flat boxes and fold and tape them to allow packing of the clothes. Another set of people were instructed to write the names of the recipients on the boxes. The final group, which later consisted of those who completed their share of the work already, was assigned to fill the boxes with appropriate items and seal them for delivery.

Hope, by definition means to look forward to something with reasonable desire and confidence. Hope also means a person or thing in which expectations are centered. When discussing the word hope, one must consider the core values by which the word works around. You could hope for financial success, world peace, or simply hope for some good out of your day. In 2006, Barack Obama wrote the political biography The Audacity of Hope to outline his core political and spiritual beliefs, as well as his opinions on different aspects of American culture. The Illinois senator divided the book into nine chapters, each concentrating on both his own and the United States’ successes and failures in local and state politics. While revealing great
