If an American loses their character, it will take a lot of courage and motivation to gain what they lost back. To explain this, Benjamin Martin who was the leader of a militia, lost multiple of his kids. When he lost his oldest son he became very depressed and unmotivated to lead his army; however, he remembered what the British had done to his children, so with all his courage, he was able to become motivated again (The Patriot). This illustrates how it takes a lot of motivation and courage to gain back your character since Benjamin Martin lost his characters of effort and responsibility, since it was his responsibility to lead the army and put as much effort into leading the army as he could. Benjamin Martin gained his character back as he remembered that his soldiers were counting on him to lead the army, which caused him to gain back his character that he had lost.

Chris McCandless as depicted in the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer and in the movie of the same name by Sean Penn, was not ignorant and he did have common sense. He had every reason to go into the Alaskan wilderness and to say he had no common sense is ridiculous. He was definitely not crazy and his courage and noble ideas should be admired. He was a man that followed his dreams and did something that most of us wish we had the guts to do. What Chris McCandless A.K.A Alexander Supertramp did, was admirable and worthy of respect.

He is just like so many of the other signers in the declaration of independence, they risked being murdered by the british and putting their friends and family in danger. In the end they did sign and for Benjamin Martin he did sign, to declare freedom from the british.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” by R. Buckminster Fuller, This quote means you can’t change the reality by fighting it. But you can change it by creating a better world for yourself or someone else. This quote is true because you cannot go against the real world but you can create a better world for yourself by trying and not giving up. For example Pollution, instead of arguing with each other, people can make electric cars instead of cars that consume gas. The dystopian novel, Ready player one, by Ernest Cline and the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut jr. as well as real world events prove the interpretation.

The image of rape of a white women is not the same as interracial sex, but if you are Ethan from The Searchers then the rape of a white women would not be the same thing as interracial sex, according to The Searchers, “ Ethan’s racism and fear of miscegenation manifest themselves so often that a couple of examples of him at his vindictive should suffice: firstly, when he shoots the eye out of the dead Indian, eternally demining him to “ wander forever between the wind’s. Secondly when he shoots at an enormous herd of buffalo, figuring that “killing” buffalo’s as good as killing Injuns in the country” (Nugent 70). This shows the hatred that Ethan has and that for him Indians are not humans but animals he enjoys killing and if a woman would sleep

But I had to stand eventually, and when I did, I knew that my best friend had become my worst enemy.’’ Junior risked his whole friendship to be able to create a better future with school. Their friendship broke and would probably not be the same again. Rowdy had the mindset that Junior completely betrayed their whole friendship. Throughout the book after their falling out, Junior would email Rowdy once in a while to get in contact with him again. Rowdy would sometimes go along with it or he would get angry. Since then, towards the end of the book Rowdy and Junior hadn't hung out as friends in a long period of time so they decided to play basketball like they used to do. As Junior and Rowdy played basketball, “Rowdy and I played one-on-one for hours. We played until dark. We played until the streetlights lit up the court.

One of the books I’ve enjoyed ever since first discovering it was the Once and Future King, written by T.H. White. The story of King Arthur, Robin Hood, and the knights of the round table really inspired me and my writing, and it felt genuinely like you were looking through Arthur’s life.
