The common theme of these passages is that the narrators want to contribute to the world or at least their communities. This pattern is recognisable in “Clearing Path’s to the Past” when the narrator thinks “I can’t grow tomatoes anything like my grandfather’s, but my shoveling will suffice.” This shows the narrator’s desire to live up to expectations set for him/her early in their life. An example of a similar desire in the passage “To be of use” is the quote “I want to be with the people who submerge in the task…” The narrator is referring to people who resolve issues with haste and pull their weight in society.

The Wesley’s made the decision to begin a company, and as a family the idea was completed. Even though the economic downfalls of the company had to have affected the family, the Wesley’s persevered through the times when the business was not successful and would try again to make their business work. Individuals who visit the park would be inspired to know the difficulties the members of the Wesley family went through in order to support each other. The history of their business needs to be more pronounced when touring the house, or even mentioned somewhere throughout the park. History in the idea of memories, legacies, and factual accounts is the only thing that connect people to past.

The passages share the common theme of doing the work that must be done so we can live in perfect harmony and to let nothing stand in your way.

He does it for the kids walking to school, so that they won’t have to worry about walking through the snow. Although he says it is tiring and very time consuming, he seems to enjoy doing it. At the end he states that he does it so there will be a place where nothing stopped the children — or anyone else — from wherever they needed to go.

Granger's group plans on preserving civilization by memorizing books. Through oral tradition, they hope to keep major works alive, pass the information onto their children and hopefully succeeding generations, or until society is willing to hear this. Granger genuinely tells Montag " See how important you've become in the last minute!" emphasizing the importance of books and knowledge that is needed in the world, this is important because the lack of knowledge in Montag’s world was in danger of long-term restriction of reading books for the rest of their lives even if the governor was not there (beauty) unless someone, which in this case, the hobo camps with a library full of memorized books would come in after the war and help restore civilization and the freedom to read without the capital restricting the opportunity to read. Knowledge is useful information.

In the epigraph, August Wilson states that we do not always have to act out the sins of our fathers and that it 's possible to banish them with forgiveness. While Troy may not have forgiven his father, after he marries Rose, he doesn 't act on the sins of his father. Troy 's father didn 't teach Troy any positive traits directly, instead Troy adopted them in order to differentiate himself from his father and to live a better life. Troy learned the value of hard work from his father and all the time he spent working on the farm when he was younger and he lives by that trait. He takes care of his family because he knows it 's the responsible thing to do no matter what.

This book teaches you that no matter where you are from or what race you are if you are willing to change your life and do what’s best for your community and your family then nobody or anything should get in your

The Position Paper's final position is one of genuflection: prostrate, rump raised, ready to proffer thanks for something already received and also waiting receptively, patiently, for something else. If this deferential position is immediately recognizable as a whole-body symbol of gratitude, it is also simultaneously recognizable as an indication of one's readiness for punishment: my butt is extended as you commanded, or, I'm inviting you to inflict pain. It would be imprudent, perhaps even impudent, of the Position Paper to proceed any further without addressing the bared butt in the room: its very name, a tribute, of course, to one of literary theory's legendary masochists, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. The Latin infinitive form of "tribute" is tribuere, "to give, distribute" (AHD).

When it comes to success, people have their own definitions. Some people may define success as having a job that suits them and by the joy they feel when they are in and out of work. Others may define success as having a surfeit amount of money without the need to be happy at their work. In the book, outliers, Malcolm Gladwell defines success based on the careers of the well-known and rich people and he mentions that they have achieved success because they are the best at what they do. Gladwell also believes that anyone is capable of achieving success if they work hard enough and that the people who are mega-successful such as Bill Gates or Michael Jackson got where they were because of thing such as their geographic locations, their specific college experiences, the opportunities that they were presented with in high school, or even the month that they were born in.
