I believe that the decision that the Good Guy had to make was harder then then the decision. I think this because look at the facts for the Good Guy it was date the hottest girl in school or get bullied or get paid for the test all good and bad things but he was being honest and truthful and decided not to give up the test to anyone. By the Good Guy doing this he has set a good path for himself with the teacher for the rest of the year and is being recommended for college. When on the other hand he could have gave the test to one of those delinquents and probably got expelled or suspended, and all he would have shown for that was money or a black eye or some girl that really didn't like him. But if Mrs. Kittredge had the harder decision to

There was a dance at the highschool and Scott decided to go with Lee. When Mouth decided that he wanted to go to the dance he figured that he would have to have a date. So he started to ask girls and they sadly had all declined him. He asked out every single girl in the grade. He kept track just to make sure that he asked everyone. After all of the girls that he has asked none of them said yes. “Mouth was there, too. He got turned down by at least seven girls in the brief time I was watching. I had to give him credit for being resilient. Nothing seemed to bother him. If I asked a girl to dance and she said no, I’d want to crawl into a hole and die”(Lubar 184). The day after the dance had occured Mouth went over to Scott’s house so he would return Scott’s money that he had given to him. “But he didn't ask to come in. “Here,” he said, holding out a couple of dollars. I figured he would spend another fifteen minutes describing the whole event, but he just said “Thanks” and left”(Lubar 195). Scott did not think anything of it. Scott’s thoughts was just that he was going to give him his money and he did not think about all that much the way he was acting. Scott, if anything, was thankful that Mouth came here and left with no complications. Mouth changed the most because if Mouth had have given that money back, and was

The problem with the students who chose the better school is that they do not realize is they will be among other students who were valedictorians and 4.0 scholars, immediately making her a little fish in this big sea. By choosing this, Caroline becomes an average student, which was a completely new concept for her. In the end, the decision she made ended up causing her to drop her intended major
The short stories “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O 'Connor and “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne both include characters who are greatly affected by the battle between good and evil. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” tells the story of a family 's seemingly normal car trip turning in a tragedy of blood shed after they come face to face with evil himself in the form of The Misfit, a violent killer who has escaped from prison. “Young Goodman Brown” tells us about a young man who has to face evil in himself and those close to him after he travels down an evil path while traveling through the forest. Both stories show how personal choices and chance encounters put people in the path of evil and can be life-changing and in some situations even life-ending.
Good people do bad things. Doing a bad thing does not make someone a monster. For example, if a young boy was raised in the ghetto where he and his family never had enough to eat he might have to steal to get for his family. Even though he has done something illegal and immoral that does not make him a bad person. He was just doing what he had to do to get his family food to eat. Even if he kills someone in the process of sealing the food it does not make him a monster. This kid just made a bad choice in an awful situation but he made the choice for the right reason, to feed his family. Victor Frankenstein’s creation, the “monster”, was not all bad. The made some bad choices because of how he was created and how he was treated by Victor after he was created.
Fifth, I have realized from the story that they portrait or described lawyers as cheaters, dishonest, and immoral. I think that this is not a good example to those young aspiring lawyers to be. I have learned that as of today being a student aspiring to be a lawyer in the future, I would do my best to practice law in a lawful and in a moral way. I would also start to respect the law by putting God first so I would be guided on what is best way to solve without being a distraction to the society. I think that if lawyers do the right thing with good and moral intention then we could have a peaceful society and justice would be given fairly. I have learned that being a lawyer with good moral character is what a lawyer should be proud of and not the multiple numbers of cases he had won because at the end of the day people do not usually care about you but you instead could make yourself proud of what you did.

Flannery O’Connor shows her readers a realistic look at their own mortality in “A Good Man is Hard to Find.” The story is about a family of five, a father, mother, grandmother, and two children, starting out on a vacation to Florida from Georgia. The family, on their way to a routine vacation, takes a detour that will change their lives forever. Through the use of literary elements like symbolism and characterization, O’Connor creates a theme of good vs. evil, which can be felt throughout the story by tapping into the audience’s emotions.
Everyone has heard the saying; “nice guys always finish last,” at least once in their lifetime. Although it is commonly said, it doesn’t mean it’s correct; just because a person happens to be nice and a good moral person doesn’t mean they can’t lead a successful life. A general misconception is that it takes greed and selfishness in order to become wealthy, but that just isn’t so. It can be seen throughout society quite easily that one can be a first-class citizen without having to dive into the dark side, so easy that all one has to do is to drive through my cul-de-sac and meet my neighbors to see how wealth and a moral life are not mutually exclusive. One person that practically everyone in the world knows, has been keeping up with his
This didn't make the female student very happy because she was trying to get more involved in the class but the teacher wasn't allowing her too. She was the type of student that would just sit back and listen and not participate in any class activities. She realized that she wasn't getting anything out of the class and she wasn't learning very much, so she decided that she would try and get more involved so that she would actually start learning something in the class. This wasn't the only time that she tried to get involved in the class and was turned aside for a male student.
She thought that it was the right thing to do. yes, because it was the honest thing to do. her friends are mad at her because she could have lied and their buddy wouldn’t have gone to prison. And her dad doesn’t even want to talk to her.
