Ralph Ellison explores the concepts of searching for one’s own individual identity in his book Invisible Man. Invisibility can make one feel like they do not have a purpose in the world and they simply blend with others that 's why having one’s own identity is important to have. Ellison uses the theme of identity to show what it feels like to be in search of oneself.. He plays with the concepts of who am I? and what is my purpose in this world?

She really wants to help Kate because she wants her to live, but Anna wants her own life back. She comments that she is always sick but never sick enough for her parents. Both girls over came these dilemmas and did what they knew was

For me, Faith recalls positive memories of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" when Dr. Mike had to defy societal norms. As Andrea has so immersed herself in this role, I found myself hoping Faith stays around. I know not what next week holds, but Andrea's characterization and inspired recitations of her dialogue as she stands up for what she genuinely wants in life should be enough to cause women everywhere to champion her cause. Quite honestly, Peter is such an untoward character that I wouldn't wish him on my worst enemy. I still say that Hope Valley needs a medical clinic, and I hope that Nurse Faith makes the right decision for her and does not cave into what society demands of her.

I am a strong believer that yes you can be whatever you want regardless or race or ethnicity or beliefs but as a mother you are suppose to let your children figure things out as they go. Then you have the James Baldwin story about Sonny Blues. Sonny was is the youngest of their family. After his mother mother and father died he found himself into drugs and doing all the wrong things in life except his music.

The novel is in first person in her point of view and we see all aspects of her views. The second main character is Augustus Waters, Hazel’s love interest. He isn’t demonstrated in first person, but we do see many aspects of him too. The conflict found in this novel is initially that Hazel felt the need to keep everyone from being heartbroken; she needed to keep herself alive. Diagnosed with cancer at a young age, she fights a tough battle and though she almost bit it, she kept going.

Is Ignorance Always Bliss? Does knowing that one can control their own behaviour make it more likely that they will do so? In the short story, “Quarantine”, author Alix Ohlin illustrates the difference between self-awareness and oblivion, and how both characteristics can affect personal relationships. Ohlin portrays the idea that there are generally two types of people in life, those who are aware of their identity and those who are not aware, and that a person’s identity impacts the way others see them.

Throughout the whole book Mia listened to her family and friends advice, but she did not know who to listen to. She wanted to stay and be with Adam, but her parents and brother were dead. Eventually, she decided to wake up from the coma she was in.

“ We only ever have influence over our reputation- never control” (Lickerman,The Value Of A Good Reputation). Reputations can be quite simple but also very complex, you may deal with them day to day in highschool or in the business world. Teenagers have a high tendency to have low self esteems which can trigger them to create a false image of themselves which provides them with the comfort of people liking them. A good reputation should come naturally and not require one to promote false information about themselves or others just to maintain good status in society, if you truly have a kind heart and good intentions people will see you that way and will look up to your inspiring reputation. “Find their sense of value vulnerable to the opinions of others” ( Lickerman,The Value Of A Good Reputation).

In the story “The Know-it-all Generation” the author sets the scene in the first person and gives a personal account to prove an underlying issue that the generation may be facing. The generation consists of individuals that ultimately go off into the world with a sense of entitlement, false hope, and a pompous attitude due to constant specious comments made by those around. Meaningless compliments have become requirements for teachers, coaches, parents, and even peers. Being wrong is not an option in this generation. The main two points that the author states throughout the paper are 1.)

Basically proving that Beneatha is against most of the males in her life, such as Walter and George in her life, in the situation of becoming a doctor. Walter doesn’t think the money was worth her medical school and George doesn’t believe that woman should become doctors just as same thought as Walter. This supporting my claim by showing that Beneatha is always determined or yelling at her family because they are not behind, and supporting her path to achieve the dreams she has for herself. In “Raisin in the Sun” the author conveys the theme that dreams morph who you are by developing key character’s identity. Two people that exemplify this are Beneatha and Walter are people who let their dreams shape who they are in the present.

This is a great book and fun to read, but I will approach this as an immigrant with a total different culture, and my experiences growing up. I think Miller did not consider some factors before emphasizing on narcissistic needs. Social economic status of parents can impact a child’s future or overall well-being. As a parent who is striving for end means and the survival of his or her family, will sometimes end up in the things the author has described. I came from a country where corporal punishment is acceptable; therefore, beating is a part of social norms to us.

Chapter two in the textbook Reflect & Relate an Introduction to Interpersonal Communication by Steven McCornack talks all about what “self” is and how to achieve complete fulfillment for one’s self which is also known as self-actualization. The components of self, as described in the book are, “ . . . self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem” (McCornack 39). Self-awareness is the idea in which one can take a moment to move feelings, beliefs, and other external influences aside and just evaluate oneself in a holistic perspective that is not skewed by opinions of others, etc. Having the ability to actually think about who one is brings a lot of power and mental stability in such a way that allows for improvement.
