    "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserve and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. " This quote is by Christopher Reeve and it connects to the novel our Twisted Hero because of the main character and protagonist Han going against the antagonist Om. First off, Han tries to stand up for himself and kind of also the students even if it doesn't end up the way he thinks it will. This has to do with the incident of Han trying to let the tech her know about all of Om's misdeeds because the students are too scared to tell him themselves.

    Elizabeth Price Foley, an American legal theorist once wisely stated, “The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.” This quote intelligently states with hidden meaning that two people do not have to think exactly the same way, or live near each other to remain friends. In The Chosen by Chaim Potok, the many different friendships that develop also reflect the meanings behind this quote. The characters in the book do not always agree with each other, yet they keep open minds about ideas differing from their own and consequently grow much because of these relationships. The necessity of friendship throughout life can be seen in the interactions between the characters Reuven, Danny, and Rev Malters.…

    According to Han Fei, the enlightened ruler (who is the highest authority in the government) must maintain a shroud of mystery around his decisions and commands. By not overtly revealing his desires, ministers will refrain from pleasing him, thereby ensuring his subjects will heed all commands. Through hiding his own talents (i.e. bravery, wisdom, etc.), the ruler’s subjects are forced to present their own talents to the ruler. When the ruler is satisfied with the result, he will take credit, and when disatisfied he will punish accordingly, therefore ensuring the rulers reputation never suffers, and moreover maintaining his level of supremacy. To Han Fei, the ruler is supreme, however this supremacy is under constant threat by the…
