The development of young characters can be seen throughout the novel with the shift in responsibility to be a parent from Ma and Da to Audrey and Devon. “Sometimes, as Da had done, Devon took a thing to town to pawn. He pawned the box that Grandda’s money had come in and brought home second-hand shoes for me.” (135) Further, this can also be seen with Izzy’s adjustment to the rural farming conditions from a previous rich city life and Audrey’s brave decision to work for the selfish pig farmer; even little Harper realises that the world is not just fun and games. Despite the Flute family despising Vandery Cable, Audrey, transitioning into the role of a mature and dedicated second mother, takes this burden upon herself as she values her family’s welfare over her own. The courage and bravery needed to fill the shoes of the previous dependent characters shows how the next generation is helping to ease to hardships faced by the community. Being brave and facing ones fears is the only way to achieve anything in these merciless times and by Audrey facing her fears for the benefit of her family, we can see her develop from a young and naive teenager into a mature and independent adult. The bravery and sacrifices made by the young generation to support

Experiencing further unstable environments, these children are forced to move from one foster home to another. They rarely develop meaningful relationships and constantly endure lack of care and protection by adults. Sabreen, another gifted student, was able to excel in school despite her unstable environments. She, too, became a ward of the county battling to find a stable home, constantly being placed in unstable environments, environments that do not encourage any achievement. When her situation becomes untenable, she goes AWOL, like Olivia, refusing to return to county supervision. Corwin masterfully frames the problem that wards, like Olivia and Sabreen, face when they feel that going back into the system is not an option. The additional struggles can be seen through Olivia and Sabreen accepting jobs with long hours in order to make enough to pay their bills. The responsibility on taking care of themselves financially detracts from their studies, which quickly can become a vicious, never-ending cycle.

The environment a child is raised in creates a major influence on the child’s future. For instance, the author Wes Moore was sent to military school because of his declining academics in his former public school and because of a situation that occurred when Wes punched his sister Shani. As a consequence Wes’s mother sends Wes to Valley Forge Military school in hopes this will correct Wes’s behavior and model him as a better student. In the beginning, Wes felt infuriated and betrayed by his mother for sending him to this institution. Wes tries multiple times to escape but never is success. It is until Wes sees the F Company and becomes impressed by the amount of respect they receive. This is when Wes begins to understand that he is in a different

Because of the daunting trails they are soon to face, both characters encounter a mentor that will guide them to achieve

One of Roderick's fears was death. He was from a well-known and honored family, and he and his sister were the last of the long line of Usher descendants. His sister, Madeline, had been fighting a severe and long-continued illness for quite some time, which had added to much of Roderick's gloom. " Her decease, would leave him the last of the ancient race of the Ushers." Roderick seemed not only to fear the death of his sister and ultimately of himself, but also the uncertainty of the future. "I dread the events of the future, not only in themselves, but in their results. I shudder at the thought of any, even the most trivial incident, which may operate upon this intolerable agitation of soul."

The whole of the part one of this novel is a series of life lessons preparing Scout for the hardships she is going to face in the second part of the novel. Due to the influence of the likes of Atticus, Miss Maudie and Mrs Dubose, Scout goes from a naïve young girl who thought with her fists rather than her head, into a more mature, empathetic girl. This essay is going to discuss some of the lessons Scout learns and how they impacted the way she became at the end of part one.

Probably the most famous "Indian" in American popular media that comes to everyone’s mind is the Lone Ranger's sidekick, Tonto, portrayed by Native American actor Jay Silverheels. Tonto “became the quintessential stoic Indian, which in some ways was a positive step and in other ways locked Indians into a sort of hapless, slow-witted stereotype” (Fitzgerald, 2013:92). Today, the portrayal of Tonto has been seen by some Native Americans and others as derogatory and degrading. He often spoke in a Pidgin, broken English language saying things like, "That right, Kemo Sabe," or "Him say man ride over ridge on horse." However, later depictions have showed Tonto speaking English more clearer and being treated as an equal

The woman's sudden change in feeling towards Douglass shows the reader that the woman's environment really did change how she felt towards another human being. Her husband convinced her that Douglass should never be taught to read and write because they are inferior and it would be dangerous to let "white knowledge" into the hands of a black man.

Two more days passed by with nothing much exciting happening. The most exciting thing that did happen though, was when the Mosby's Rangers came into the woods and nearly made me wet my pants. I could definitely see why they frightened the Yankees, for I was on their side and they petrified me. They looked so fierce on top of their horses, with their weapons in their belts. At least I know the wagon train will be safe (I hope). Presently, we are on our way out of Stanardsville, heading for Gordonsvilile. Although we are on time, the wagon train will take more time than a single wagon because we have multiple teamsters that could have multiple problems. For example, if a teamster in the wagon train has one little problem, everyone will have to

Because historians tend to study the Seven Years' War almost exclusively as a precursor to the American Revolution, they tend to focus solely on those aspects of the war that are relevant to the apparently more significant future event. A special and significant military force that participated in this war, Robert Rogers' Rangers, has suffered such a fate. Rogers’ Rangers changed the way the seven years’ war was fought. It also changed the thought of how war in the future would play out. Rogers’ down fall was that he fought for the wrong side and in the end was not liked by the side he fought for.

Finally, Scout, being a little girl, shows tremendous mental courage and does not fear putting her life at risk to save other people. Early in the novel, Scout illustrates the courage she embodies. On her first day of school, Scout acts as an ambassador for the entire class. She takes the duty of informing Miss Caroline of Walter Cunningham's situation. Miss Caroline had just

Will’s girlfriend, Skylar, had a good influence on him. Initially, Will was unwilling to establish a lasting relationship with her but eventually decided to join her in California.

The future of one’s self is often thought of as predetermined by past actions. Yet again and again, this statement is proven to be wrong in so many regards. Everybody has a different past, good or bad, and what they make of their future often times has little to no correlation with their past. In saving Ceecee Honeycutt, we become aware of how a rocky upbringing does not indicate a bleak and hopeless future. With the help of her friends, Ceecee learns to look at life with a positive outlook and to see all the opportunities she has to enjoy the things she has. The outcome of the future depends not on the past but on the present.

     Throughout the story there are several aspects of the Protagonist’s character that play a major role in the shaping of her future. During her childhood she
