The best quote for me that I chose was “ They wanted to know about more important things, such as camels. How many did we own back home? What did we feed them? Was it a bumpy ride?” This quote means people are trying to get facts from people so they know more of the important things. For example, they asked them about facts about camels like where they got them and how many there was. This quote adds to the Dumas portrait and how the child points to herself in it because, the girl looks at herself and she can see how she grew up and how she got to this part of life. This quote also relates to her and her family and their relationship and their community in California because, she grows and her family grows and they go along with the life
Louis Zamperini’s life, he had some difficulties, and may be different from others, but he still had made through all of the difficulties he’ve been through. For him he made it through with a blink of an eye, well at least that’s how it showed the readers. Louie was different from other kids. He would drink beer and smoke at a young age. He then grew little by little becoming a runner. He was the best runner people have ever seen in forever. He was best known for that, he went to the Olympics, but it got canceled because of war, their war against Japan. His two character traits that stood out the most was being strong and fearless. This story is based on real life, and on a book called Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.

Tom and Andy are delightful young kids whom are curious and got tangled up in peer pressure related incidents. Looking deep into the kids surprisingly shows that they are delightful, even though a few incidents show otherwise. The kids comprehend that the Duvitch’s were suffering from various illnesses.

Invisible man by Ralph Ellison is told in the first person by an unnamed African American man who considers himself invisible to society. The comic book is a representation of the Invisible man’s life. The certain event in the comic is when the protagonist gets injured at his work and is taken to the factory’s hospital. Three strange white doctors attempt to help the protagonist, but turn out to be lunatics and proceed to experiment on him. The doctors put the protagonist through electroshock therapy to the point where he is no longer afraid of Dr. Bledsoe, who is the president of the protagonist’s college that he attends. This whole event occurs because the protagonist is black and the doctors would not condone doing experiments on their own kind, white people.
She uses similes in the essay like this one to help the audience to not give up on something so easily “the man could in no way pry the tiny weasel off, and he had to walk half a mile to water, the weasel dangling from his palm, and soak him off like a stubborn label.” This simile is effective because it helps form an image
she tears the money she gains from him in front of his face. This is clearly seen when she says, "I snatched the notes from his hand and tore them up into little pieces with a pent-up fury…the movement of my hands as I tore the money to pieces tore off the veil" (98). Significantly, money is seen to be a symbol of the incentive that Firdaus has to offer her body to men. Thus, money comes to be a symbol of imprisonment, the restraining factor which alters Firdaus from fully expressing her pride and hatred towards the men she offers her business too. The act of tearing the money apart shows Firdaus being freed from the control men have over her.

George, the main character in the novel, uses expert power to help his friend Lennie. Expert power is someone who is using a high level of knowledge that others do not possess. In the novel, Lennie has a lack of intelligence. So because of that George uses his expert power to take care of Lennie and make the decisions for him. For example George once said, “Don’t ever speak to him. If he comes in here you move clear to the other side of the room” (Steinbeck 29). In this quote George was talking about how Lennie should stay away from Curley, because he believes that Curley will stir up some trouble for Lennie. This quote showed how George used his expert power to protect Lennie, because it showed how he gave Lennie good advice by using his power. George helped Lennie stay out of trouble by using his prior knowledge and helping him make the decision.
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” This quote, said by Abraham Lincoln, displays the idea that power has the ability to show someone's true self, more so than any other aspects of life. Power is the strength and range of influence an object, idea, or person has. Power can bring out the worst in people, or it can also bring out the best in people when used correctly. Power plays a strong, influential factor throughout the novel Of Mice and Men. Power is behind the change of character's behavior and thoughts, it is the deciding factor in many decisions, and it controls the hierarchical organization of characters.
Much to a social misfit, Ignatius is eccentric in the sense that he refuses to conform to the world, especially when the characters of the novel attempt to help him in anyway possible.

He states that his mindset does not belong in this world, that all his failings are the work of some higher power. Consequently, there are a variety of situations where the characters made it their mission to rehabilitate Ignatius.
