He has a heart and feelings. He is not cold and impersonal. When he looks at a situation he takes the person and/or event into account. It’s like not having a one size fits all mentality as in a lot of our laws and punishments today. (Novak, pg. 221)

African Americans have been discriminated and were not treated fairly from the beginning of the American colonies up to the 1960s. Their history included about 250 years of slavery followed by another 100 years of discrimination. However, many people state that throughout the 1800s, the whaling industry helped African Americans thrive as a race. In addition, they were treated as equals and could gain glory and wealth from it. In most cases, this is not true because negroes for three main reasons. Almost all African people did not receive high positions on their crew ships. Also, they experienced segregation on ships and were treated not equally. Finally, they were taken for their cheap and hard labor in a dangerous, unrewarding industry. Using internet sources and the novel, In The Heart of The Sea, by Nathaniel Philbrick, African Americans in the whaling industry had low status within crews and faced harsh working conditions as well as discrimination and racism.

It promptly fitted a frigate, the Abraham Lincoln, to destroy the beast, and invited Pierre to join them, for his science capabilities. For many months they searched, but could not find this Narwhale anywhere. When they found it, it attacked the ship, disabling it, and sending M. Aronnax, Ned Land (a harpooner) and Conseil (servant of Pierre) overboard. Soon, the three were guests in the Narwhale, now known to be a ship, the Nautilus, commanded by Captain Nemo. During the stay aboard the Nautilus, Pierre Conseil and Ned encounter and discover many wonderful and interesting facts from the sea. Often, they would accompany the captain in an under water expedition. Several of these excursions were to hunt, and others were simply to explore a submarine region. One of the times when the purpose was just to investigate an underwater region, Captain Nemo and M. Aronnax explored the lost city of Atlantis. On a separate occasion, Pierre found that there was a supply of coal underwater that the Nautilus used as a source of fuel. In addition to underwater excursions, the Nautilus itself was on a round the world journey, which accounted for the most exiting time of the book. This was when Captain Nemo was attempting to access the South Pole. That meant passing the Great Ice Barrier, and surviving with very little air. During this rather long voyage, the submarine gets wedged between two icebergs,

Sometimes when I’m home alone with my younger siblings, I yell at them and threaten to hurt them if they annoy and distract me. Usually, I do this because I’m in charge and I know I won’t get in trouble for it and because I have work to do and I don’t want to get in trouble for not doing it. Similarly, some police (mostly white) abuse their position by shooting people when they think they are in danger. Night by Elie Wiesel is a memoir of the Holocaust and Lord of the Flies is a novel by William Golding. Both texts show that humans can hurt others to save themselves and power corrupts us as human beings.

A person’s environment hugely impacts who they are, what they believe in, and the manner in which they present themselves to the world. Prince Prospero from “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe, and Captain Vidal from the film “Pan's Labyrinth” come from very similar environments. As a result they have similar personality traits, and their views and beliefs about the world are alike.

In life people are not always what they seem. Many authors use this phenomenon in their characters to reveal various facets. Using these strong characteristics the audience gets a sense of feeling that the character is not who they appeared to be. Like in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet; Shakespeare use of strong characteristics, give the audience a better feeling of who the characters are. Through Shakespeare use of confidence and arrogance portrayed through Mercutio, gives the notion the character is not always who the audience thinks.

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the theme of individual identity, especially contrasted against mob mentality and assimilation, is present in almost every chapter of the novel. Throughout the novel, the characters within the story, especially Huck as the protagonist, make decisions regarding which type of mentality they will use, which then affects their relations with other characters, such as Tom Sawyer. In the book, Twain uses both Huck 's idealization of Tom and Tom, the physical being, as secondary characters to help the reader understand how Huck falls into both of these mentalities and how his identity as individual changes throughout the novel. This insight allows the reader to better understand Huck 's character by showing Huck 's response to the pressure to assimilate to mob mentality, mainly through his relationship with Tom, and development in his ability to think for himself by contrasting his behavior in Tom 's presence and absence along with the reasons this development occurs.

Personality is an important part of one character. The first theorist of choice that can explain Antwone Fisher. Bandura believed that learning was apparent when one was observing another person or experience (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). Through Antwone’s actions, it was plausible that he became a product of what he witnessed and experienced. Antwone displayed certain fears that was based on his past and the people that he came in contact with. Bandura would say that Antwone went through the process of observational learning (Schultz & Schultz, 2013).

The Odyssey by Homer tells the story of a Greek warrior named Odysseus, who faces challenges placed upon him by the supernatural, or more specifically, the Greek gods and monsters. His journey begins while sailing home from Troy, where Odysseus had won the Trojan war for the Greeks. Odysseus’ ship is forced to dock on many islands, most of which have hostile environments. Odysseus serves as the model for an epic hero, a fictional character who possesses many traits admirable to his or her society. The character also follows a code of honor and is willing to sacrifice themselves for the weak, such as women or children. Though this idea comes from an ancient story, it is relevant in modern popular culture. For example, Harry Potter, a hero

I believe that Captain Nemo's outlook on the world and mankind is based off of hatred. I say this because he believes that the world must be his even though he did not create it, he wants to destroy it if he can not make it his own. Nemo is showed to be a private character, this makes it more hard for Nemo because the book does not

When I was a little girl at early of my age, I spent a wonderful time with my grandma near a sea in my hometown during the last two months of her life. That was the first time we saw the smile back to her face since we got the news that she got intestine cancer. Back to that time I was deeply impressed by how being around the sea was capable to change people’s emotion in such a positive way. The poet, Pablo Neruda, in his poem “The Sea” illustrates how the sea teaches a trapped man a lesson on how to be released from struggling to find freedom and happiness. The three crucial poem-writing elements, sound, structure, and figurative language make the power of sea more vivid just like a picture we could see and have physical feelings about. And when we try to get a deeper understanding of the poem, it is the sound that we hear first.
