Recommended: The influence of Role Models

It is really hard to eulogize anyone, especially those who inspired us by their passion and never stop working to reach their goals and make those dreams to come to reality. This is the kind of feeling that Pharaoh and Lafayette left me when I heard their stories because life is hard, and it is a unique spiritual to see these young children at that time with this ambition. I truly admire them in one time, and left speechless at another time. Because I got the feeling I want to help them but so if I can. They taught me to be always respectful for those who help with us and always be thankful of God. As the time goes by, you may forget the chancing and wonderful life you are live in.
Pharaoh has my wholehearted because he was thinking positively and optimistic. I would whether live with those who are optimistic than those who are pessimistic, because you always want have people who can encourage you and step examples for you to follow up and have the passion of becoming one of them one day, this is just the human nature. However, I do not think that was the case for Pharaoh because it is such a hard thing to think positively when you are …show more content…

How is it conceivable for these kids to go through that? Nonetheless, which these kids went through is something unimaginable at beast and disgusting at the least. However, I was also strike by what Lafayette when he said “If I grow up I want to be a bus driver”. This is just an indication of how he is missing the care of the community and he offers his hope of becoming a man who can serve his community in a very fruitful productive manner. We have a lot of families who are in need of the cooperation of their societies and feel the unite and solidarity, it is with no double a great missing of these needs are not fulfilled. Overall, I like the story and I think I have learned a lot of lesson out of

  • Summary Of Evolution Of My Block By Jacob Saenz

    1514 Words  | 4 Pages

    By rereading the poem several times, made me not only appreciate it, but understand it on a different level. Saenz did a great job at telling the story so that people can view it different ways. I enjoyed the poem because it clearly drew a picture in my mind of what he was talking about. At one point, I felt like I could see what he was talking about. I never acknowledged poems prior to this one because I felt that poems were too cheesy and corny. Instead of telling the story he made it a journey for the readers to get what he was saying. This poem shows how life was at the time and what people were surrounded with. Fortunately, many children are exposed to that today and are pushed in the right direction. All in all this poem was of the most interesting poems I've ever read and made me think harder than I ever would on any other

  • A Reason to Hope in There Are No Children Here

    1155 Words  | 3 Pages

    All through their lives Pharoah and LaFayette are surrounded by violence and poverty. Their neighborhood had no banks, no public libraries no movie theatres, no skating rinks or bowling allies. Drug abuse was so rampant that the drug lords literally kept shop in an abondoned building in the progjects, and shooting was everywhere. Also, there were no drug rehabilitation programs or centers to help combat the problem. Police feared going into the ghetto out of a fear for their own safety. The book follows Pharoah and LaFayette over a two year period in which they struggle with school, attempt to resist the lure of gangs, mourn the death of close friends, and still find the courage to search for a quiet inner peace, that most people take for granted.

  • There Are No Children Here - If I Grow Up

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    As for the analysis of the book itself, although the author aims toward providing a chronicle of two years in the lives of the two brothers, he actually ends up writing more about their mother. He discusses LaJoe's parents, how they met and married and why they moved to Horner. He depicts LaJoe as an extremely kind-hearted yet tough woman who will do anything to help not only her own family, but all the neighborhood children as well. LaJoe feeds and cares for many of the neighborhood children. For this, she is rare and special in an environment of black mothers who are prostitutes and drug addicts. She sticks by her children when most mothers would be ashamed and disown them. I finished this book feeling a great deal of respect and admiration for LaJoe and everytihg she went through.

    As the boys witness death and mutilation all around them, any preconceived notion about the indoctrination, "the enemy" and the "rights and wrongs" of the conflict disappear, leaving them angry and perplexed. The story is not about heroism but about toil and futility and the divide between the idea of war and the real life and its values. The selected passages are full of violence and death and loss and a kind of perpetual suffering and terror that most of us have never and hopefully will never experience. Both authors ability to place the reader right there on the front line with the main character so vividly, not just in terms of what he physically experienced and witnessed All the complicated, intense and often completely numbed emotions that came along...

    It is often debated whether or not the reign of King Louis XIV had a positive or negative effect on France. Although there were improvements during his reign in transportation, culture, and national defense, there were far more negative aspects. He depleted the national treasury with his liberal spending on personal luxuries and massive monuments. His extreme fear of the loss of power led to poor decision making, which caused the court to be of lower quality. King Louis XIV’s disastrous rule brought about a series of effects that influenced the French Revolution in the following century.

  • Racism in the Film Remember the Titans

    The people in this story go through a great transformation from hating each other to being as close as brothers but I do not feel that the end result is the most important part. These boys had very difficult decisions to make. I think that all these young men were raised to be racists to varying degrees. This graveyard moment was a very clear message that could not be misunderstood. They learned tolerance for those of their loved ones that couldn?t or wouldn?t learn as quickly as they did. If we are to ever overcome the misguided beliefs we gain from our parents we need a very good explanation of why we should believe another way. Without this I do not think that the team would have ever come together because they had been raised to hate each other their whole life. The learned the importance of friendship and what i...
