The White Tiger

A lesson before dying teaches a valuable lesson of becoming a man and although Jefferson does learn a lesson,Grant learns the better lesson due to the characterization that is portrayed. Grant Wiggins is a educated and sophisticated young man. He speaks very educated in terms of speaking and thinking but is very arrogant. Grant is also very selfish for example when the Reverend says “ You ever think of anybody but yourself?” Every time he visited Jefferson he came out less and less selfish and arrogant.

In the Story, “The Child by Tiger,” Dick Prosser is the main character and focus of the story. Throughout the story much is learned about him and his actions that leads the readers to question him with great scrutiny. At the beginning of the story, Dick was made out to be a very positive character with very good traits. His plausibility as a character was great, but then it started to dwindle as more was learned about him. As the story progress, readers learn things about Dick that start to contradict his credibility, despite his buildup of being such a good character in the beginning of the story.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, he created a morale haze that intensified the characters complexity, which enhanced their characterization. Nick Carraway, the most complex of the characters presented so far, had a moral dilemma, though it did not appear that way. His use of thick vocabulary was used to establish his false moral superiority to convince the audience that he could be trusted, which allowed Fitzgerald to lure the audience into a psychological trap giving them the impression that Nick was reliable, thus creating the illusion that he was trustworthy. Nick’s hypocrisy, however, made it obvious that he was not reliable. Fitzgerald used his dilemma to create breadcrumbs of hints of his intense struggle throughout the first

Though today many believe that education is what makes a person intelligent and successful, Mark Twain does a great job showing that even though Jim and Huck do not have high levels of education they both show high level thinking. Though intelligence is believed to have a direct correlation with education by some, Mark Twain shows quite the contrary in Huckleberry Finn Although Huck does not have a high level of education, you can clearly see he is very intelligent. An example his intelligence can be seen when Huck convinced three slave hunters that his sick father was aboard the raft with smallpox so that the hunters wouldn’t check to boat and find Jim. When Huck begins to hint that he has a father with smallpox in the boat, they begin to question him and one of the hunters starts, “Well,

One important message that came from this book was don’t judge someone just because of their skin color. In the beginning of the book, there was evidence where someone was judged because of their skin color. In chapter 3, Justyce and some of his peers were in a discussion on the debate team. The topic they were talking about was Declaration of Independence.

One concept that can be compared between the novels we have read so far this semester, The White Tiger and Persepolis is education. The role that education plays in both novels shows a lot about the societies of the time they took place along with the characters. To begin, in The White Tiger, Balram isn’t given the opportunity to gain an education because he needs to begin working to help his cousin. Balram gains intelligence by learning how to make his way through life while not having the book-smarts that society requires one to have to be considered intelligent. Balram manages to find a way to obtain a license, and slowly moves his way up in the cab industry going from driving a small car to a luxury one.

As said in the book “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (Lee 85-87) Ultimately Atticus has a lot of passion in his heart to deal with the people he does everyday and be able to stand up to those who don’t agree with his beliefs. A final example of how Atticus is able to show courage through others is through the Cunningham’s. Atticus is able to compromise with Mr.Cunningham and help him out in exchange for something they are able to repay him

He can hold it when he's speaking.’” (Golding 36), which gives everybody a chance to voice themselves and support Ralph voluntarily. This strategy of gradually building a positive reputation prior to giving orders to the boys highlights Ralph’s ability to gain authority, whilst acknowledging that he is not superior to any of the boys. This is in comparison to Jack, who falls prey to the excitement of proving his hunting capabilities to the boys, using it as an excuse to lead the boys, which essentially serves as the cause of the chaos the island falls into. He eventually even destroys the conch, symbolizing his role as a catalyst in the loss of democracy, and thus

If you are going to be video gamer, you don’t need science or anything, same with being an engineer, you technically don’t need science much. We learn from the teachers and the way our education system works is if someone gets an A in a class, he is considered clever and someone who got a C well he is stuck with those average people. I 'm not saying the education system of a college, or high school is messed up but has it even change since then. We are determined by what college we got to and get what jobs by how well we do in college.

First of all, Rancho is the main character of the film and was a very good student of science, multi-talented, versatile, and sophisticated kind of person. He advises everyone to gain practical knowledge rather than theatrical knowledge which is generally given in all educational institutes in India. Apart from them, Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi who were students in the Imperial College of Engineering as well as roommates of Rancho were also very intelligent students. Farhan wanted to become a photographer and Raju to be a successful businessman in his life but their families put pressure on them to take admission in engineering college against their will. Moreover, Rancho was a competitor of Chatur ram lingam, a Tamil student; always comes first in class: but he had the only

Veidt had always been a smart child and achieved mediocre grades on purpose to keep his remarkable intelligence out of suspicion (Watchmen p.245). His plans to bring earth to a utopian state prove his intelligence and effectiveness in making strategic plans. However, he maintains a serious composure throughout by looking out windows and investing himself in deep thoughts. Veidt seems to be constantly analyzing the environment around him and almost takes on a dictatorship role when he takes it upon himself to “help the world” (Watchmen 129) independently. This

There were many characters in Lord of the Flies that I felt were applicable to my personality. Some were smart, some were responsible, some were timid, and some were tremendous bullies. Personally, I feel like I am the most related to Simon and Piggy. I most closely relate to Simon, because he is quiet and timid, but also compassionate and insightful. He was able to figure out the mystery of the beast before any of the other boys could, making him the wisest of them all.

Ralph behaves and acts according to moral guidelines. Ralph is capable of leadership, and accepts being a leader to the group.
