Unconditional Love In Jonathan Sheff's Memoir

Throughout the novel, Will and Jim are faced with many forms of evil that often test the strength of their friendship and trust in eachother. However once the carnival is introduced, it almost seems that Jim is tearing away from the friendship because of his desire to be older. With this being true, Will still stays friends with Jim and he is still always there to protect him. Because Jim is one of Will’s only friends, it causes him to greatly care about Jim. During the novel, Will is seen many times not only looking out for Jim, but also putting himself in harm’s way in order to keep Jim safe.

Later Cyrano admits he was saying those things from his own heart. Cyrano’s love for Roxane was so obviously unconditional. He loved her for years, without ever receiving any love in return. Cyrano went through a lot of pain while watching Roxane fall in love with another man, whom he was pretending to be for the sake of her happiness. It takes someone with a big heart to put up with being treated that way.

What I mean by this is John changes his mood quite often and this is what creates the suspense. For example, John says he is thankful for the opportunity because he has a perfect chance to “write his wrongs in life” p126. However, he views the bad sides of things in parts of the text such as when there was a blizzard (p132), and he was very hesitant on whether to stay, leave, or give up. He regretted his actions many times, but it was his passion, motivation, and will that pushed him

Yet, if I chose to let them know about my preferences in such situations, I believe they would do their best to understand but I still believe they would never agree to let me die in any kind of situations. Overall, I really enjoyed reading these sections of the Ghost Boy, and it really made me think how vulnerable but amazing our body and mind is. It made me think of how we live day by day, sometimes ignoring what is around us and keeping ourselves busy. Sometimes complaining about insignificant things while there are people suffering more than us. Instead, “treat everyone with kindness, dignity, compassion, and respect whether or not you think they understand or not - never under estimate the power of the mind…” Martin

In the story We Were Here, Rondell is loyal because he will protect his loved ones, he will pulverize people who menace him and intimidate those who he considers friends, and he believes in his cohorts. Rondell protects his loved ones because his only immediate family was his crack-addicted mother, and his father is unknown. He then was placed into foster care until his great-grandmother took him in until she died of melanoma. If someone has all this happen to themselves, you probably will not take your loved ones for granted, and you will do everything in your power to make sure they are alive and well. He also was born extremely premature and he turned to religion (Christianity) to lead him through his difficult times.

The story begins the setting forth that Tom is an honest and religious man. Uncle’s Tom Cabin is based around Tom’s story in which he is an African-American slave. He suffers tremendous amount of pain throughout his life but what amazes me the most is that he never lost his faith to God. He and his family are good, honest people that try to work hard to please their owners. Along the story, Tom will encounter several obstacles that will test his faith and the results will leave every reader breathless.

Thanks to his air of toughness he is accepted into the gang, and under his audacious leadership the gang is pushed to new heights. However, though he appears tough and audacious, Trevor also has an innocent childlike side that is revealed when conflict cracks his outer shell. This contrasting dimension of naïveté and morality that we discover late in the story makes Trevor a dynamic and likeable character, prompting us root for him despite our better judgment. Graham Greene’s choice to explore the cracks in the walls we build around ourselves as well as the ones we live in elevates “The Destructors” from a short story about young boys wreaking havoc to a thoughtful composition on what must be destroyed in order to rebuild, reveal, or

Everything I read and learned from the groups about addiction was applicable to him. His inability to remain sober caused us to split for good. It was only a short time till his spiral became so out of control he only caused danger and harm to himself, his family and his children. It was hard attending this group and see survivors, hear their stories and have them say “I’m so happy I get to have my son

Clair clearly cared for Pip and never gave up on him throughout the entire book. She knew deep down that Pip was still there and he wasn't that far gone. I thought Mikey was an important character because when he got hurt and his and Pip’s relationship changed for the worst Pip tried everything to get his brother back to his old self because he was too young to be so upset and not care about school or anything around him. Lastly his dad, I thought Pip’s dad was important because of his impact on Pip’s life. He cause Pip to rely on drugs and alcohol to get away from his home.

Hence, George’s reaction formation was an indication of his seeming seclusion. His repression was enhanced upon Jim’s death because he felt a need to cover up the mourning he felt for his loved one. The projection was stemmed from his discontent with his own personal attributes. George struggled a lot throughout the book with his identity, his misery from loss and his relationships. However, his actions led him to a path of self-discovery, allowing him to appreciate life as it is despite his uneventful heart attack at the end of the

He also always loved my mother even though when they were still married they would fight constantly and the amount of beers he can throw back can always amaze me, but other than that he is mostly the good parts of Rex Walls. These similarities made me picture me as Jeannette and my father as Rex. This made Rex’s death at the end of the book extremely hard on me. I cried for at least an hour. This book was just so well written I could put myself in it and try to feel her pain.

Before the end of the book, Huck now understands regardless of how bad somebody is their life is still of worth. This shows how mature he can really be because somebody that was immature would rather want somebody to get what they deserve than looking at what their life is worth. “Well it made me sick to see it; and I was sorry for them poor pitiful rascals… It was a dreadful thing to see.” Pg. 174. When Huck was talking about this about the king and duke shows he is maturing and had a true feeling for people.
