This shows his ability to accept his responsibilities and not squander money on a pig that would never produce offspring or

Because of the year-round educational support within the communities, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo have been an honor to be a part of. Being apart of the HLSR has made me realize that I can achieve something so much bigger than myself. To me, the HLSR means learning about not only about where our food comes from, but about your community and surroundings. The HLSR is an annual event that pulls in various people from the community, so everyone has a chance to learn about agriculture. Also, I love how this organization educates the youth by providing several opportunities to learn about our environment at the livestock show.

I realized that were learn so much from other people during our time here on earth and it shapes us into who we are. For example my dad always liked animals, he lived on a ranch in Mexico, where he cared for his German Shepherds and cattle. My mom on the other hand did not like animals as much as my dad. My dad , in a way played a part to me liking animals, and even now my mom has taken a liking to animals to. I realized no matter what it is you share with someone, that allows you to bond, will have impact, small or great, within you or even leave a mark.

Another example of the importance of material wealth is shown when Harry teaches True Son to help plow the land, which is another form of material wealth. Harry Butler loves his farm and praises True Son when he plows for the first time (Richter 74,75). Harry also takes care of his business in his ledger to calm himself. He wishes that True Son would understand the concept of money and business (Richter 68& 70). This evidence supports the fact that Harry wanted True Son to share in the business and have a part in what Harry valued the most- his success and his money.

He claims without that he would have been stuck in his adolescent ways. Hank expressed how much the workforce looked for those qualities in the employees they hired. Hank said he matured while training and in a way knew what he needed to do when he left the military to get a job to support himself and his family. Hank Bourque joining the military is a selfless act he did to serve his country, but to take everything he learned back home and to apply it to his everyday job in life is another great example of Hank’s personality. It shows he did the work once in learning all the skills, and instead of “throwing them out the window” he is willing to work hard and use what he learned to support his

Aristotle argues that friendships are required to meet the conditions needed to live the most fulfilling life. His idea of friendship goes along the basics as ‘getting along with’ such as you would with neighbours or say you and the staff in your local coffee shop. What counts as friendship is goodwill that is directed towards each other. For example, awareness of the relationship and the relationship must be mutual.

The late 19th century was a time of exploration, innovation, and continued westward expansion. The West, however, was not as glorified as people today like to think it was. Westward expansion had many benefits, the main being lots of new land for both the Americans and immigrants, but many ideas of the West have been altered throughout the years.
