Little Nick was 8 years old. I really didn't have many worries about life. I was in Elementary school just living the life of an average school boy. I woke up every morning got prepared for school had breakfast and then my dad took me to school. Simply the life of a fourth grader. I had a loving family: my father, my mother, my brother and my two sisters who were just thoughts in my parents mind at this point. I had a great upbringing my parent taught me the basic morals of humanity and biblical truths. I think it was safe to say that I was a good boy.

My brother, Marshall has always been my best friend and a role model and it was the same when little boy. So as I was going on during the week it was just an average day for me. When I arrived home I quickly finished my home work so I could spend the rest of the day with my brother doing what we always did after school. We would play games and watch TV shows together before we played outside. It was just a …show more content…

Stealing is wrong no matter what the case. Taking someones accomplishment gets you nowhere in life you can never learn about hard work and what it takes to be a good human if all you do is steal something from somewhere else. From that day I learned giving is better than taking and that there are others that have to steal to survive but that is because us people that have those blessings are too selfish to help those in need. Simply from being punished for stealing thirty dollars from my brother I learned a valuable life lesson that has helped me through so much. I'm happy I stole that money from my brother for all the right reasons. I can say if it wasn't for that one mistake I wouldn't have learned one of the most valuable lessons in life. Giving to those in need is better than being selfish and that us that have these wonderful blessings in life should find the time to help those that are less

    However, as research detects, people internalize about themselves at the age of six, and this also holds true for nick. Even though he made a drastic change later in life it is because of the internalization he made. As a result, I absolutely agree with the term “give me a child until he is seven, and I will give you the man.” Some might argue that how come he evolves by a far degree if he internalized himself at age six. The reason behind this is that just because he is shy does not mean that he do not understand what he wanted to do, identify who he is, and what his goals are. The problem is that he had a hard time expressing it. This can be attributed to his introvert personality.

    There, my careless decision to shoplift at Sephora could have cost someone their job. By me making this mindless decision it affected everyone around me and Sephora, and that is not what I wanted and its not fair for others. This action has made me think more clearly of the people I should surround myself around and think about the people in my life that I call my “ friends”. I have learned an important lesson from this mistake, it was a great learning experience for me to realize what people I should surround myself around in my life because I know I am not that type of person, I don't do this stuff I was raised much better then this.

  • The Great Gatsby Analysis

    763 Words  | 2 Pages

    Among the first indicators of Nick’s unreliability as a narrator is shown through his extreme misunderstanding of his father’s advice. When Nick’s father told him that “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages you’ve had” (1) he most likely meant not all people have the same opportunities in life. However, Nick perverted his father’s meaning and understood it as “a sense of the fundamental decencies us parceled out unequally at birth” (2). Nick’s interpretation of his father’s advice provides insight into his conceited, somewhat supercilious attitude, as he believes that not all people are born with the same sense of manners and morality.

Also his father would tell him that he should not criticize others because some people did not have all the advantages that he had. By his father constantly telling him things like this, it caused Nick to grow up with great morals and the ability to not judge, or at least not come off as if he is judging. The advantages that his dad was referring to include the following: having a great education, having generations of family that have done well for themselves, having no financial stress, and being able to afford everything he has and still be able to do what he

    Plagiarism; noun, the practice of taking someone else's work and passing it off as one's own. (Merriam-Webster) When viewed simply as a definition in a dictionary plagiarism seems very black and white. However, is this really the case? Is it so easy to look at something and say with one hundred percent certainty that it is or is not completely original? Certainly as time goes on less and less things can be truly original as the chances of someone else having the same idea increases exponentially. Why are some things that adhere to the very definition above still not considered plagiarism? Is plagiarism truly a book definition or is it really a matter of perception?
