On this trip, Nick’s son was able to learn about his dad’s work and how his dad was able to convince people of such things that seemed impossible. I really didn’t like the end however, because it was not very climactic or resolving, yet I did like how Nick’s son was able to empower…

He clarified that Donnacona had developed sick and had kicked the bucket in France. He was covered there. He then lied and told the boss that the other people who had went with him to France had ended up rich and had chosen to wed and to stay there.

People’s dreams of making money were much different then too. Many people didn't dream of being rich they dreamt of being comfortable with the money they were making, and having enough to support their family.

What is a meaningful life? Is it going to the movies with your best friends every weekend, having a job that brings joy to your life, or glorifying God? The beautiful thing is that to everyone the definition of a meaningful life is different and unique. What we define as significant in this life shapes our actions and even our future.
