    Who Is Johnny In The Outsiders

    Of all of the characters in The Outsiders I relate the most to Johnny because he is sweet and quiet, but when it comes to my friends I would do anything for them. I think Johnny and I connect to him because we come off as nice and would not hurt a fly, but everyone has something or someone they would die or kill for and Johnny and I would both kill for our friends. I think Johnny is so content because he has a lot of things happened to him though. Like someone jumped him and his parents are really mean to him. I don't have that in my life, well not as bad and nothing to do with my family. But a lot of things have happened to make me so quiet and content, like Johnny. All and all I think that I am very much like Johnny.…

    'The World Depicted In Elie Wiesel's Room'

    Room is a story of how Jack has spent his entire life locked in a 11 by 11 room, with his Ma, who was kidnapped and raped by a sociopath who Jacks calls Old Nick, and has been kept in the room for the last seven years. Jack's world revolved around that room and he refers to all the furniture as if they are real, living, breathing persons like “Wardrobe”, “Rug”, and “Plant”. Even though there were some disturbing events that happened in the book, but the way Jack looked at the Room and the outside was refreshing and innocent making those events not so disturbing. This book was based off the disturbing event of the young woman, Elisabeth Fritzl, who was imprisoned for 24 years by her serial-rapist father.…

    Jacob Riis How The Other Half Lives Analysis

    Jacob Riis was a social reformer who used photography to raise awareness for urban poverty. He became a reporter and wrote about individuals facing certain plights in order to garner sympathy for them. His book How the Other Half Lives caused people to try to reform the lives of people who lived in slums. He used vivid photographs and stories about individuals to call people to action. No one could argue with a picture, so his book showed urbanization and the problems that accompanied it very well. He wasn’t a very experienced photographer, so his pictures were relatively objective, and therefore somewhat trustworthy. His pictures were not pretty and did not gloss over the harsh realities of inner city life. His photos captured details of the slum that…

    He was stuck in a bad situation of what to believe or trust. Jeremy had cynical trust for his father, because he reflected more on his mother’s side. The boy went through a lot as shown in the novel, and he isolates himself. I could become friends with Jeremy, I understand all what he is going through. I had a share of bad days and can understand how he feels about losing his mother. Seeking the help from the beginning is what he should have done, it would have been the best thing to do. I would have made good friends with the protagonist, I would not let him feel isolated and help…

    Mortiz Schlick: the Meaning of Life in Play

    I do not agree with Schlick's contention that the meaning of life is grounded in the act of play and not work. I disagree for three main reasons. First, I find Schlicks account of forgetting the purpose of activities to be somewhat flawed. He demonstrates how the purpose of an activity does not yield meaning and that work is a means to a goal. I find a discrepancy in this in regards to his acceptance of Goethe's rule. Schlick also holds that in order for us to understand how to lead a meaningful life through creative-play, that we do it by emulating children or youth. I disagree with Schlicks supposed template for meaningfulness due to the feelings associated with creative-play and what it is to feel meaning in something. I argue that he is appealing to emotions rather than the quality of meaning. Finally, I discuss Schlicks understanding of youth and what it means to attempt to emulate it. I believe that he is too presumptuous and assumes that all youth is experienced in a similar manner; this is not the case each individual possesses a different aspect of what youthful living is and was.…

    Margins: Meaning of Life and Frazier

    In Ian Frazier’s essay, “In Praise of Margins”, the author talks about his childhood life and how he had “margins” where he and his friends would do things and nothing would matter because they wouldn’t care. “Marginal” thought is valuable because it allows adults to use their imagination. His purpose is to try new activities without shame; it’s the spur of the moment that defines margin. I think his view about marginal activity is comprehensive and relatable. When we think of margins, we think of the extra space on the edge of the paper that we can’t write out of. But marginal has another meaning to it which has to do with the economic world and how we function with margins in our life such as personal experiences. Marginal space is key to the coming of age process in each person’s life whether we share the same activities or not. Although it’s not easy to pin point it out but marginal spaces are needed to escape from everyone’s present problem in everyday life. I agree and believe with Frazier when he is talking about the meaning of marginal because it is true that margins sometimes do not come out the way you want it to be, nothing or nobody is perfect and there are always something ruining the perfect moment that we all have or want.…

    In a way I can relate to Jonas because I am the youngest of three and my older brothers always take care of me. When we had family issues in the past, I was like Jonas and did not know what was going on exactly, and throughout that experience my parents stayed calm to keep me calm and my oldest brother did his best to make me happy and care for me. During that experience I had to grow up quickly, like Jonas, to help my family get through it. I had to stay strong, and have the strength to be there for my brother.…

    Breakfast Club

    Andrew Clarke during the movie has shown characteristics that are very similar to my personality in lots of ways. First of all, Andrew is an athlete. He has shown this by the clothes that he is wearing since he wore a sports jacket and by the way he talks, and how he fought John Bender in the beginning of the movie. I relate to this because I play lots of sports such as tennis, soccer and badminton, and I am physically fit. Since I am good at these sports I believe that I am an athlete. Andrew is respectful to everyone during the movie. He has shown this when John was picking on Bryan and Claire, but he stopped John and respected Bryan and Claire and gave them their attention. I relate to this because I also respect people who are getting bullied by helping them when they are being accused and comforting them. Finally, Andrew has shown that he gets angry easily. He has shown this when John Bender makes fun of him during the beginning and he kept on shouting back and he always tried to fight John Bender thinking he can beat him. I also relate to this because I always get angry when people make fun of me since it is irritating and I get annoyed when they repeat it over…

    Soren Kierkegaard's Existential Therapy

    The existential therapy is rooted in the concerns that are found in the individual’s existence. An existential therapy is not separated from psychotherapeutic practice, like behaviorism or psychoanalysis. The idea of struggling with the polarities of self, Soren Kierkegaard, who is regarded as the father of existentialism, viewed personhood as what we are and what we shall become. Kierkegaard suggests a continuous active wrestling between polarities of infinitude and finitude, possibility and necessity, and eternity and temporality. The emphasis of existentialism is the inner conflict and struggle with the realities of death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness. What is the existential view of anxiety? How might you intervene (from an…

    Analysis: Does Death Give Meaning To Life

    Does death give meaning to life? One might wonder how something so morbid could bring meaning to “life”, which is supposedly something more pleasant and sound. Bernard Williams was an English philosopher in the 20th century who suggests that death gives meaning to life, and that immortality might not be something that one should desire and wish for (Jacobsen, 104). In the average human life, everyone has many different desires that bring meaning and purpose to that life. There are conditional desires, unconditional desires and categorical desires, and all of these desires bring meaning and interest to our lives. Conditional desires are things we want to do if we live long enough, like travel the world when we retire for example.…
