impossible. Although Linda Brent was not able to get her children away from Dr. Flint and his mistreatment, she did not abandon her family to save herself. Instead, she decided to hide in her grandmother, Aunt Martha’s, attic. Several times during Linda’s life she was faced with the choice of fulfilling her desires of being a free woman or putting her family first. She believed that once Dr. Flint noticed that she had escaped to the North, he would be fearful of her children escaping and would sell them. When Mr. Flint sold Benny and Ellen to someone working for Mr. Sands she was told by Mr. Sands, also the father of her children, that he would free their children soon to live with Aunt Martha.

When a person is lucky, it does not have to mean that they are fortunate with money. Luck is the chance for things to go the way you want them to go with out having any control over the situation. In The Rocking Horse Winner, Hester, the mother seems to believe that luck is strictly having money, and when there is no money, there is no luck. Hester's idea of luck meaning money brings forth the two ideas of greed and death throughout the story.

Norma Everist in the book, The Church as Learning Community purports all of us are both teachers and learners. She further assets teaching and learning takes place in every facet of our lives. I have embraced from an individual perspective the premise that learning is a life-long vocation but had not considered the enormous possibility that all of us teach and learn from each other both formal and informal settings. I agree with her regarding the local congregation’s automatic separation of teachers and learners. In my context, that was entirely the case in the past. There were a group of persons who had been designated teachers and everyone else was considered learners. Recently, there has begun to be a shift whereas the church is intentionally becoming more intergenerational in its approach to developing relationships, thereby providing greater opportunity for teaching and learning. One challenge is to ensure that those who teach in the formal settings are gifted and adequately equipped to teach the curriculum.

The lives of Bigger Thomas in Native Son and Edna Pontellier in The Awakening could not have been more different. Bigger is a black man living in poverty while Edna is a the wife of a rich white man. Although they grew up on opposite sides of the wealth scale, they ended in the same circumstances. Bigger and Edna are similar characters with similar motivations. Bigger and Edna are oppressed by society and want freedom, which ultimately leads to their deaths.

Every day, a person will see celebrities on television, talk to peers in school or at work, or have encounters with strangers on the street, and automatically make assumptions on what their life must be like. Many times, they envision the other person’s life to be something bigger and better than their own life and that vision causes them to become jealous. That jealousy, in effect, can consume them and cause them become unhappy with the assets and characteristics that they have. People can become so discontented with their lives that they would be willing to give up everything they have to start over or have a different life with different problems. The way that the main characters in Jane Martin’s “Beauty” describe their lives as

Notably, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a prime example because Jay Gatsby had fallen in love with Daisy Buchanan, yet society does not recognize him as a potential partner due to his low social standing and economic instability. Although later becoming rich, Gatsby is not able to pertain the past that he so much desired for and attempted to “fix everything just the way it was before”(Fitzgerald 110). This wish of his is similar to the society today, where everyone want to become rich and later discovering it a mere illusion created by hope. Many individuals may wish to be rich and must face the cruel reality before them, but they may not be able to accept the result wholeheartedly and will persist to keep trying. Several

For the latter point, this was especially seen in the story of Miriam Weeks. Weeks was studying at Duke University, and while there, she found that she could not afford her tuition; thus, she decided to become a performer in adult films using the stage name, “Belle Knox.” According to an article she wrote for Time, she expands on this experience by writing, “My turn to porn to close the gap was so famous, in part, due to my reasoning. Faced with either a degree from a less prestigious school or decades of crushing debt, a few hours of work on a porn set revealed itself to be the best way to avoid getting screwed. To make matters worse, my income now makes me ineligible

Shiloh The relationship between Leroy and Norma Jean in the short story “Shiloh” is very rocky and was basically ended by Norma Jean near the end of the story; however, Mistakes Were Made explains how the relationship can be saved. The relationship Leroy and Norma Jean have is similar to an example used in Mistakes Were Made between Debora and Frank. In both relationships, each couple did not communicate well by any measure, and both relationships were failing. Mistakes Were Made states the reasons for Debora and Frank’s failing

The quote by Oprah Winfrey “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” is a quote that encapsulates her opinion on how people reach success in life. It would seem that, to her, luck is not necessarily something good or bad happening at random to a person. Instead it is a culmination of work towards something and the seemingly random occurrence of favorable circumstances. I agree with what Oprah Winfrey is trying to convey in her quote. For example, the company you want to work for hiring at the time you are actively looking for a job. Another example would be Oprah Winfrey's personal experiences. These are simple examples to show the truth behind Oprah Winfrey's quote.

Imagine a world immersed in beauty, wealth, gloss, and fame. I may be generalizing, but lets just say it’s a world in which you are born with a streaming talent that most individuals could only dream of. You constantly have hordes of spectators cheering your success and everyone wants to be your friend. The greatest fear of most women seems to be being hideous or lacking capacity and you have no idea what that feels like. Seems spectacular, doesn’t it? If you are a female actress or singer in the North American region then you probably know it is your cluster that I am referring to. Of course, what I talk about are only the optimistic and positive aspects of working in the acting or music

“The harder I work, the luckier I get.” We’ve all heard stories about people who seemed to be the recipients (deserving or not) of incredible luck. They were at a party and heard cocktail chatter about a fantastic job opportunity. They fortuitously knew a guy who knew a guy, etc.
