Being misunderstood is a fear in which many possess. The desire to be understood and accepted by others is human nature. In “Paul’s Case”, the author, Willa Cathur, portrays Paul, the main character, as a young and misunderstood boy. Paul’s desire to distance himself from his father, classmates and teachers stems from their inability to accept him for his true self. It is apparent that Paul is different, but that should not be an issue.
Chris felt he did not belong anywhere in the society the world was placing him to be. He was strong enough to get up and make a big change in his life and I admire for that, but not for leaving with not one word left. Chris understood life a
If he was a hero and not a robber baron he would actually help everybody in need and not hide the bad thing that he has done. For many reasons Andrew Carnegie was not a hero but a robber baron. In his personal life, business approach, and philanthropy he was not heroic. He would either just hide the bad things that he would do or just not do anything heroic.
Chris displayed his arrogance all throughout his journey. His arrogance from the start was that he didn’t rely on Human materials. Humankind may not make things perfect every time but they make things because they need them. So Chris was being very arrogant by not using the things created just for his purpose by thinking he could do everything on his own and in the end that was what got him killed. But by the same standard anyone can understand Chris’s thinking.
The innocent actions some take later in life will reward some, and deteriorate others. Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye, by J.D Salinger delays his evitable process of growing up partly because of the tragic events that transpired earlier in his life and his ignorance to reality. However , Chris Mccandless differs from Holden in the fact that he fully understands reality but protests to greed of humans and the material possessions of man and still facing the gruesome consequence of his immaturity. Seymour Glass does not relate to the accepted adult community and further isolates himself from his peers. Although he appears immature, he actually is struggling from PTSD from the war and the picture his has for the violent adult man.

BP 1 - Call to Adventure Nick moving to New York for the summer with ambition of becoming a stockbroker led him to move to west egg in next to Gatsby, this was his call to his
The whole process seems like constant bickering between two friends. It is not the ideal therapeutic alliance, but it producd a desirable result, which is overcoming difficulties and achieving personal growth. I would not change anything in the film, because the therapeutic process is appropriate because it’s fictional and it works well with Will’s character and personality. Sean constructs a strategic therapeutic process that subtly helps Will without being apparent because Will is not the type of person who would admit needing help. The end of the film is strange because Sean unexpectedly transforms Will by repeating “it’s not your fault.”
In the novel Curley shows a lot of selfishness. He only cares about himself and his own reputation and not about the other workers or his wife. He controls them but does not treat them with respect. “‘I’m glad you bust up Curley a little bit. He got it comin’ to him.

The fantasy life he portrays for Norma is all out of love and the will to keep her happy.
Above all Chris McCandless was an arrogant man. He refused many offers of help he got under the ground of that it was cheating. His arrogance led to him taking unnecessary risks which led to him encountering many hapless events. A quote from Into the Wild, his sister Carine said, “ Chris didn’t think twice about risking his own life, but he never would have put Buckley in any kind of danger (Krakauer 128). This really shows that without a person to keep a handle on him, to give him a conscience about what he was putting himself into, he was really the only one credible for his ultimate demise.

(pg 142) In Chapter 3, once again Nick comes across as less mercenary than everyone else in the book as he waits for an invitation to attend one of Gatsby 's parties, and also takes the trouble to seek out his host. Nick has what many of the other characters lack — personal integrity — and his sense of right and wrong helps to raise him above the norm. He alone is repulsed by the false nature of the socialites. He alone is moved by Gatsby 's death.
