My mother, my step-dad and myself were all against him taking red but he was really my brothers dog so we couldn’t tell him not to. We all really loved that dog, to us he was part of the family. It was going well for the first couple days, it was hard getting used…

at me with admiration and utter awe. I was from America.

A type of hope that gave them the will to live and survive in the harsh conditions they were forced to inhabit in. However, never did I see a sad face in my time I spent in Africa, only laughter and happiness shone from these people. The sheer…

The Hopeful Proletariat Hope allows one to persevere is a bleak situation. It causes one to believe that there is a reason for suffering and that it will eventually reap reward. However, without hope, one will succumb to any dominating force that occurs, whether is be a person or situation. That person then ceases to exist as an individual, but rather as an embodiment of their oppressor’s ideology. This can be seen in The Shawshank Redemption, a movie about a wrongly-convicted man’s time in…

Hope is a powerful force that a powerful Batman…
