He has realized the importance of teachers in this mission, and he wants to raise teacher pay. There are people who are passionate about teaching the future of America, but they also have to pay bills. These great teachers are the priceless foundation to a better education for a child, and they must be paid as such. Teachers also need support, and that's where the teacher assistants come in; they have been getting laid off, and they are essential to getting children the education they deserve. Roy Cooper promises to stop these layoffs. The teachers and teacher assistants need their tools, the textbooks they use to teach, and there's been cuts to the funds that supply these materials. Roy Cooper is reversing these cuts, and there has also been cuts to the school bus system. These men and women work tirelessly busing children to and from school, 5 days a week. They don’t deserve to be out of jobs.
Speaking of jobs, Roy Cooper wants to bring everyone’s income up. He sees that unemployment is on the rise, and wages are shrinking. This is detrimental to the strong north carolina roy Cooper wants to develop. One of the keys to that strong state, is to support small business, which roy Cooper promises to do.

Some of the conservatives do not support helping the people that need it, even with though that is exactly what tax money should be employed for. This is one good thing about Roy Cooper, he’s standing up for the middle class, and he isn’t backing down. He would also stop what current North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory is trying to do. Pat McCrory is trying to repeal acts that protect North Carolina’s water, air and other natural resources. Despite being having a stellar platform, Roy Cooper is not perfect. He would like to stop Syrian refugee immigration to North Carolina. These people have nowhere to go, North Carolina is possibly their only hope to live a life that isn’t filled with fear every moment. Roy Cooper would deny a peaceful existence to ordinary people. Another flaw to Roy Cooper’s campaign is that he doesn’t have a diverse range of opinions in the media. His opinions on key subjects are unknown to the public, such as his opinion on foreign policy, oil or how he feels about abortion. These are things the public needs to know, because they need someone who is a representation of North Carolina’s values speaking for

    Unlike many of the Civil War governors who were elected in and out of office while the war was in full swing, Joseph Emerson Brown served as the governor of Georgia throughout the entire Civil War era, from 1857 to 1865. His influence, thus, is broad, ranging from the conflicts leading up to the war and succession of the southern states to the defeat of the Confederacy. His voice, which continuously advocated for states’ rights, called first for the succession of the southern states out of the Union and then, in turn, resisted against the Confederacy, opposing its impressments of goods and slave labor and the Confederate draft.

Bernard Malamud, on the other hand, was not so concerned with portraying Roy Hobbs as a wholesome guy; he was more concerned with the rise and fall of a hero. The difference in the presence of kids in the book and movie make or break Roy Hobbs as the perfect hero, and the hero’s journey that he is on.
