Theories Of Relativity Analysis

Decent Essays
In the book Theories of Relativity written by Barbara Haworth- Attard makes me understand that it is a person's own decision to improve his or her own life no matter how much help is available.

I think that it is someone's own choice because in the book Dylan has a lot of help from Ainsley but he never takes it. Also Glen tries to help Dylan but Dylan's life doesn't get better until he accepts the help himself.

In the story Dylan is constantly being approached by Ainsley and being always trying to help him but nothing is changing. Glen tries to help Dylan but it takes him along time to realize that he is unable to change his life by himself and realizes he has a lot of help from Glen and only when he accepts the help does his life start to

Twitch has many people trying to help him like Ainsley, and Dyla, that try to save his life by trying to make him go to the doctor but he doesn't accept the help and later on dies.

Jenna and Twitch never took the help that they were given so the life didn't get better but instead got worse, only Dylan who took the help started to get a better life and actually use the help he is given.

My personal experiences agree with the prompt.

An example from my personal experiences is when I was at coop one day and someone was persistent in trying to get there camera set up but didn't know how.

The person at my coop was trying to set up their camera, and didn't want any help even though a lot of people where trying to help them. It wasn't until they almost gave up that then they accepted the help and their life got better.

Another example of is when I was trying to help my friend pass a level in a game.

I was trying to help my friend pass a level in a game but he didn't want my help and instead got very frustrated and quit the game.

It is a person's own decision whether they want to improve their life no matter how much help they

    One example of this is when I tried out for the tennis team. At first, I was rejected. I was disappointed, but I knew that if I practiced as much as I could over the summer, I would be able to get on the team by the time the second tryouts came around. So, I practiced as hard and as frequently as I could, and sure enough, I got on the team. If I had given up when I had first hit a setback, I wouldn’t be playing tennis with all my teammates right now.…

    In “Theories of Relativity”, Barbara Haworth-Attard portrays success as something that can be achieved, regardless of social standing, provided the person is of strong enough character, but also as something that takes a willful person to achieve when in a difficult situation. In the novel, people equally qualified for success differ because of their socioeconomic status. Those of higher socioeconomic status always have an advantage, but if they do not possess good character strength and cleverness, they still have little hope of succeeding. Many homeless people in the book believe success to be impossible, because due to whom they are and where they are, it virtually is. However, characters like Dylan, the narrator of the book who was kicked…

The story “Where Are You Going Where Have You Been?” has the same theme.…
