    ​A feeling of motivation arises from individuals who are striving to fulfill the expectations that are set for them, whether they are real or assumed. They will use any means necessary to avoid being seen as a failure in the eyes of their loved ones, as well as to avoid the feeling of being distinct within society. Through their tenacious persistence they may, in turn, knowingly harm their loved ones. Nonetheless, their genuine desires are clouded by their desire of not wanting to fail the prospects attained by their community. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini suggests that when individuals are motivated to pursue the expectations that are set for them by society and themselves, they will use any means necessary to fulfill these prospects,

  • Bob Hicok Prodigal Analysis

    The late Greek philosopher Heraclitus once stated “Big results require big ambitions” and that could not be any more accurate. In Bob Hicok’s poem, Prodigal, there are many lines that directly relate to being an ambitious individual. I feel that it is ambition that drives an individual to get where they are dreaming of going. Lines 1-2 state “You could drive out of this country/and attack the world with your ambition,” this is a great way for Hicok to begin the poem as it really hooks the reader as most people can relate to these lines. Personally, I will be driving from my home outside of Hussar, Alberta to begin to chase my ambition to become an agronomist.

Protagonist Chris McCandless, from the novel Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, was in his early years of adulthood from El Segundo, California. He embarked a journey (by foot) to his destination goal--Alaska. Chris left most of his possessions and ‘became one with nature’ during the process.

As a child, Rodriguez was the exception to the stereotypical student coming from a working class family. He was always top of his class, and rather than spending his time out with friends or with his family he spent his time with books and notes. Initially, this approach makes Rodriguez stand out as an exceptional student, but as time goes on he becomes an outsider both at home and in school.

  • Hubris In Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air

    One such example of ambition is the “summit fever” that the climbers experience on Everest. To reduce summit fever and thus prevent poor-decision making, strict rules should be set and enforced by guides on the mountains, even if the clients disagree with such rules. In the story, Hall seems to be slightly lax on the rules; “[never] announcing what [the company’s] turnaround time should be” (185). The risk of pushing on past the rules is simply too great to to ignore the rules on a dangerous and unpredictable mountain like Everest. It is unreasonable to suggest that people will learn from the mistakes of previous climbers, and, as Krakauer suggests, for a person to “convince [himself] that [he is] too clever to repeat those same errors” (286).

  • Macbeth Fate Vs Free Will Analysis

    778 Words  | 4 Pages

    The debate of fate vs free will controlling our decisions has gone on for centuries. It is also a prominent subject in William Ernest Henley 's poem Invictus, which strongly promotes the idea of free will in the midst of challenges, and in William Shakespeare’s beloved tragedy Macbeth. In the play, Macbeth goes through a mental deterioration, due to his actions in his quest to become king. At first, Macbeth meets three witches who give him a prophecy that he would be king, with some uneasiness and some help from his wife he kills the king and takes the throne and then continues to kill all of his threats. Fate can not be a reasoning for his actions; the idea of fate is rather a disguise for one’s results.
