Hope

by Jon Krakauer, exemplify survival, hope, and perseverance as the characters struggle against the elements. Survival is inspired by hope, and hope is derived from people and objectives. Perseverance is what takes people the extra mile to achieve the goal of survival. Hope is what motivates people to survive, and inspires action.

The Hope Athena’s modern display is strategically designed in order to compliment her origin and the place she was uncovered. She stands on one side of a doorway while another statue, the Hope Hygieia, stands on the other side. While Athena was the goddess of war and daughter to Zeus, Hygieia was the goddess of continued good health and is where the modern term hygiene comes from. Both statues were excavated in 1797 in the ruins of an elaborate mansion and it's incredible to think that they are…

son in the post-apocalyptic world. At first glance, the novel portrays a hopeless, desolate ambience and elements of despair seem to greatly outweigh elements of hope throughout the novel. Upon further analysis of the text, it is evident that McCarthy uses symbols to portray unconditional love and hope, thus making The Road a novel of hope. Throughout the novel, there is a constant battle between good and bad. This is shown through McCarthy’s portrayal of the good guys and the bad guys, which…

Hope Carin Britton In this semester, we have had four units that are full of hatred and prejudice. In this semester, the most important theme to me was hope. There were always the bad people. The bullies. The horrible attitudes that overcome us all sometimes; greed, rage, and hatred. Hope always won in the end. It always held on until the last moment of all of the hatred. The hope is what kept people alive in the Holocaust. Hope was always hiding in the shadows like Boo Radley. Junior…

definitions of the word “Hope” as given in The Oxford Dictionary and at first sight we might think that The Road doesn’t even come close to having a single ray of hope in it.

But we don’t have to look too close to see that the novel can actually be, all about hope. Not losing hope, carrying on…

Hope for America As of this year, America is 241 years old, but not much has changed since then. When North America was formed back in 1776, we had slaves, black slaves. Then on New Year's Day in 1863, slaves were freed, but they were treated still as such. Later in 1964, they were given rights, and with all this “change” changed nothing. Still today, they are treated as a minority group. Racism is just one of the many problems that plague this country. To this day, America is filled with…

The Hope Athena is an ideal representation of the goddess of wisdom and war. All it takes is one glance at this statue to notice the subtle clues that undoubtedly pin the identity of this woman as Athena. The most blatant clue to her identity is the aegis placed directly in the middle of her garment, which is a trademark symbols worn by both Athena and Zeus and typically characterized by the Gorgon Medusa. Being the goddess of war, it is fitting that she is wearing a helmet topped with a sphinx…

responsibility for teaching them to read. I think this novel does a great job at highlighting the flaw in our society. We need to spend more resources on the poor minority students when they are younger. We need to encourage them while they still have hope, so we can keep encouraging them when they feel like giving up. Cedric could have been just another graduate of Ballou High School, already quite an achievement, but he pushed himself to excel at Brown University. And along the way, he learned…

Additionally, In Voice of Hope by Alan Clements, Suu Kyi defines violence as an action that gives pain to other and defines non-violence as positive action that is not passive. Based off her definition of violence, Suu Kyi believes that true nonviolence is unreachable because even if your intentions are to help you may end up harming. But Suu Kyi does believe that as long as your thoughts, words and emotions are not translated into physical violence then you are nonviolent. Additionally, as a…
