People have goals everyday, believe it or not some people think that dreams aren't worth it. I believe that it is worth it to dream because it gives a person a goal, it makes them feel good, and it makes them stronger. I know this from The Pearl, A Cubs video, the Susan Boyle video, and We Beat the streets.
Lieutenant Commander Oram and Captain John Adam are lethal weapons. These characters are leaders, kings of their castles. With emotions like storms that cloud their thoughts, makes hard decisions similar to escaping from quicksand.

Trusted by his crew with anything and everything, he is the Albus Dumbledore of his submarine: Colin McDougal’s The Firing Squad focuses on protagonist Captain John Adam, who is asked to be the executioner of a prisoner he feels innocent and with whose execution he disagrees.

The corpse of Emily Jackson appeared to have sat up in her casket speaking Daniel's name and about the glasses he must find. The tattered pale body of Emily and discovery of her broken glasses near the bank of the lake appeared to Daniel as proof her death was more than it was put out to be. This sends Daniel the path to find the truth about Emily Jackson's death. Throughout the book, Byers seems to notice the image of Emily's ghost (Blurs) more often leading him to the assumption that he is plain crazy and going insane. Daniel can never seem to control his Blurs as they seem to happen at the worst possible time, it's almost as if he can't even tell what's happening. Though he seems to have the conscience telling him the scenario speaking to him as if it were a character. Blur is seen in the eyes of Daniel, anything

Christopher Johnson McCandless, the main character in the book “Into the Wild,” had made a lot of friends even though he did not like people. Wayne Westerberg was one of Chris’s friends who he met in a bar. Chris also befriended a girl named Jan Burre. Another person who befriended Chris was a guy named Ronald Franz,
Kleeman gives strong descriptive images on how life was seen by the main character and uses the apocalyptic setting as an advantage as she sees her memories slowly fading. In the short story, dialogue reveals that she would always call someone just to reassure herself that other didn’t forget as well as herself. The grief felt from the character evokes the reader to feel bad and begin to recall personal memories furthering the interest. If someone has gotten weak or starts to lose hope, their new reality sets in causing them to lean other humans or animals for mental and physical support. Toward the end the of the end of the short story “You, Disappearing,” the reader may see that things happen for a reason and individuals must assure themselves that events happen for the better and stronger tomorrow long

It is expected that within a span of four years drastic changes can occur to any person. An example of such case is our experience throughout four years of high school or college; it is a time in which each obstacle that we surpass will become an experience that builds character. We have all left our childhood behind, but we have yet to taste the full essence of adulthood. Within these years of being cast astray to find our own paths, it is common for us students to experience regular episodes of anxiety, stress, and crippling self-doubt.
The actions survivors make during a life or death situation do not determine who they are. In The Life of Pi by Yann Martel,
In the saying of “Character is what you are in the dark” by Dwight Lyman Moody, can meaning many different things.

The character(s) that I chose to diagnosis and treat are the Minions from Despicable Me. I would diagnose them with ADHD or “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” because they are extremely hyperactive, are constantly being distracted by random objects passing by, and had difficulty in properly carrying out Gru’s objectives because of their disposition to be distracted and wide-eyed at any little thing. In order to treat the minions’ ADHD, i would use behavior therapy which uses learning principles, such as classical and operant conditioning, to get rid of unwanted behavior and reinforced the desired behavior. Specifically, i would use progressive relaxation, despite the fact that it is used mostly to treat anxiety. Progressive relaxation
Jack’s reaction shows evidence of his happiness of his new found brother. The same man that played his brother in their mind games with friends and family.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel, Crime and Punishment, employs themes of “crime and punishment, guilt and innocence, the Ubermensch/ Superman theory, psychological exploration, and atonement and forgiveness” (qtd. by Collins). In conjunction with these themes, Dostoyevsky creates a multitude of foil characters to reflect the protagonist of the novel, Raskolnikov. [F]oil [is] a character [utilized] to point to […] some aspect of the second character (“foil”). Raskolnikov’s driving traits are primarily emphasized by the characterization of Luzhin, Razmuhin, and Svidrigailov. “Raskol” genuinely translates into “schism or split” (Shipman). By providing foil characters, Raskolnikov’s distinctions within his character become evident.
In the story My Favorite Chaperone, by Jean Davies Okimoto, I believe the theme is how working together makes life's struggles easier. The characters show this theme throughout the story. As children immigrants, the main characters struggle with combining a new culture with their family culture to find a new identity without bringing shame to their family. In the story, Maya, the main character, faces issues in how to fit in with a new world in America. In this new world there are different rules and expectations while she still has to respect and follow her family's traditions and rules. This conflict is shown when Maya wants to go to a school dance, but knows her parents would never let her go especially after she gets in trouble for
