For example one detail would be he only seen kindness. Which means he never heard his parents argue or anything like that. Another detail is he wa always in an uplifting mood. Which most people wouldn’t always be in an uplifting mood if their parents argued all the time. The second reason I think the author of “The Gift” had…

careful with the things we say and learn how to listen. Speaking and listening goes along together because having those in parallel, we can gain understanding among each other. For example Jack McCall uses his words wisely to convince his wife and his son to come with him to the new house. I have learned that we shouldn’t be selfish in any kind of situation as like Jack McCall. As we know that everyone is bound to be selfish from time to time. A selfish person also ends up losing friends or…

Plus, Victor went back on his word when it came to creating the…

When I first began reading Dombey and Son, I expected it to focus heavily on the business world in Victorian England and the lives of Mr. Dombey and his son, Paul, throughout the novel. I assumed the novel would delve deeply into the lives of men during this period and not touch much on women. What I found instead was a novel that portrays several personalities of women and how they can make powerful changes on the men in the novel. Two of the most unusual and interesting women we discussed from…
