The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Character Analysis

Arthur is saved from the destruction of earth by his peculiar friend Ford Perfect by hitchhiking a ride in an unfriendly alien spacecraft.

Arthur is a good knight and king; he fights against the forces of evil. In doing so he brings justice into the

Arthur’s life is not very different from day to day and he does not have an exciting life. This part of Arthur’s life is easily seen as the Ordinary World of the Hero’s Journey, where Arthur’s life is nothing out of the ordinary. After the Ordinary World, the hero is given the The Call to Adventure which is when there is a calling to change the character's daily life to adventure on a new path. This stage is parallel to the novel The Sword in the Stone when Arthur is given an order, by Sir Ector, in T.H.White, Sir Ector,”...to start a quest for a new tutor as soon as he had time to do so…” (White 11).

The parallels found between White’s fictional work and the governmental campaign speech by Beth Noveck show that Arthur was nearly successful in his plans but also displays the differences in what they did which determined who would achieve their goal while the other did not. The connections made between real world situations and Arthur’s life demonstrated clear conflicts arising, often impeding Arthur in his quest for success for the good of his kingdom. While our modern society is adversely different to the fictional setting of The Once and Future King, the goals for Arthur and Beth were easily comparable yet it was clear that the King had many flaws leading to his demise. Arthur constantly made sacrifices that hurt him personally for the good of kingdom as did Beth by challenging those above her. In regards to changes, both leaders had a strong affinity for justice, the goal was to separate from the biased ideas that only served those who had a certain power in the government.

Arthur from "The Seventh Most Important Thing" by Shelley Pearsall demonstrates the traits of kindness, forgiveness, and curiosity. The reasons I personally think this is the case are that he was very forgiving to his mother, even though she threw out his dads belongings that meant a lot to him, and I think he is kind because he still does things for his mom. I think that he is also curious because even though he doesn't have to, he still wants to learn more about many things in his life. Textual evidence that supports my claim of why he is curious is when the text said "The purpose of the Seven Most Important Things still bugged him", which shows that he is a little annoyed but also curious about why the Seven Most Important Things must be

Henry Ford greatly contributed to the American people. He should be classified and remembered as a Captain of Industry because of his industrial contributions such as the revolutionization of how people used transportation and by helping increase the economy through his 1908 Model T automobile. Henry Ford set great examples for other businessmen with his creation of the assembly line,making the production of industrialized goods faster and easier.

Adam Farmer obviously has some emotional/mental issues, so that makes him an Unbalanced Hero. However, Adam is self-aware. He knows exactly how he is thinking, feeling, acting, and reacting to things. He is very introspective and rather serious for his age. He also tends to act on impulse and does not think things through properly. Going on journey or trip without needed medication is a very scary and dangerous thing to do. He must be very devoted to his journey to do something of that nature. Sadly, not even a day into his trip he regrets his decision and wishes he took the

He revolutionized transportation in America which made individuals adapt to new habits that came with Ford’s success (The Flivver King, p.23). When the Model T peaked the streets looked something out of one of Henry Ford’s dream. Everyone was riding around in these little black beetles (The Flivver King, p. 26). The factor that led to Ford’s success in the automobile industry came from his flexibility as a worker and as a leader. Even as young adult when he was in the process of creating the first ever automobile, he portrayed such adaptability to deal with new problems that surfaced.

Henry Ford was an entrepreneur who founded the Ford Motor Company in June of 1903 and grew it into a very successful business. He achieved this through free enterprise, an economic system which places few restrictions on business activities and ownership.

It not only helped Ford to achieve his goals in business, but it has also helped many other entrepreneurs as well. The free enterprise system has been a necessary component in allowing people, such as Henry Ford, to start, grow, and own their own businesses.
