Kindness

Cather did seem to admire Antonia for her characteristics. Antonia exhibited three strong characteristics: resilient, kindhearted, and loyal. She was resilient in several ways. For example, Antonia was pregnant as she was deserted at the altar from her fiancé, Larry Donovan. Bearing a child out of wedlock and raising it alone is shameful according to Black Hawk standards. Instead of her hating the world and her fatherless baby, she gathers herself by staying positive and raising the baby…

In my Catholic education, we are taught: “Treat one another as you want to be treated,” otherwise known as “The Golden Rule”. I would like to be treated with respect, therefore, I treat my fellow classmates with respect. What is respect? Respect to me is how you treat and feel about a person. If you respect a person you care about that person’s feelings and well-being or you accept a person for who they are and how they act. Why should I respect my classmates? I respect my classmates because I…

Most of us have had a family member in the military. Maybe it’s time to say an extra thank you to them for all they have done for us. All around, everybody deserves respect, and one small act of kindness spreads. It’s time to show everyone respect, especially our veterans. There’s many people that sacrificed their lives to help all of our daily lives better. I believe in an America where everybody respects our veterans. They fought and sacrificed their lives for us so we could have freedom. We…

he quickly realizes is poor. The creature had been taking supplies from them but upon realization quickly stopped and rather tried to figure out a way to help them. At the beginning of his life, the creature had never been treated to any type of kindness; his creator called him an abomination and when other villagers saw him they reacted with horror. However, he still felt an intuitive need to help the family; and he did. The creature says “during the night I often took [the son’s] tools, the…

beautifully written book about a man who overcame the horrors of slavery and was able to better himself, despite incredibly limited beginnings. Frederick Douglass is able to crawl out of the hole that slavers put him in through the bits and pieces of kindness that he finds in others, and this is facilitated by his learning to read. Literacy in Narrative is a direct link towards freedom in several ways. The ability to read opens Douglass’ss eyes to a life with more substance than the one he has…

starting first with the devastation of the economy. However, the ending of Steinbeck’s book provides insight to that time and messages which prevail in a reader’s mind once finished with the book, those being of new life, matriarchy, and the inherent kindness in all people which was often displayed in this calamitous time period. Rose of Sharon’s bold act in suckling a grown man displays all three of these ideas, and most of all displays the desperate measures which these American citizens went…

school and proving to his classmates that he is just like them, despite his physical appearance. The film focuses on acceptance, empathy and coming to terms with your differences. The film had a clear, strong and positive message, which is tolerance, kindness and empathy towards people that are considered different by our society. Despite…

At the beginning of the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, not much is known about the character and the protagonist of the story. Even in the first few chapters, we only gather that her name is Hester Prynne and she is in the town’s depressing jail. As you continue to read, however, you discover she is in jail because she has a child. This act byself is not a crime, except for the fact that Hester is married and her husband is abroad. Because of her obvious adultery, she is forced to wear a…

Thank you for promoting and building her educational foundation and always going above and beyond as you did in your last email. I hope you realize how much you impact our daughter. There are no words to convey how grateful we are for all of the kindness, patience and compassion you have…

Vivian. Susie acts as a foil for Jason, in values and approach to life, and the juxtaposition of these two characters is used to show (the progression of Vivian’s character) Vivian’s transition from a life solely focused on knowledge, to one of human kindness. Vivian Bearing’s cockiness, lack of empathy, and thirst for knowledge are evident when she’s a professor. Her cockiness is evident in how she interacts with the audience, how she breaks the fourth wall, where she makes statements such as…
