He fails sometimes and succeeds sometimes but at the end of his journey he realizes he is just like his dad. He then decides to go back to Chicago and meet up with his family again. Just like Josh, I am like my dad too. If you ever look at old pictures of my dad and me as kids we look pretty similar. We both are Minnesota fans in all sports and we both played the same sports as a kid, Football, Baseball, and Hockey. My dad likes some topics that I like too. As a kid my dad had the same Grades that I have now. He was also the same size as me as a kid.

Josh and me are both similar to our fathers but we didn't know at first.

    The complexity of life might preoccupy one’s mind at any age when there is an underlying quest for personal growth and self discovery. Life on the Canadian prairie during the 1930s was filled with a sense of simplicity; truly appreciating the natural surroundings and resources available on the land. There was a recurrent theme to rely on oneself which made daily life difficult for many families on the prairie. Within W.O. Mitchell’s novel Who Has Seen the Wind, the protagonist, Brian O’Connal, tries to understand the meaning of life by thoroughly questioning the life cycle and relying on his inner sense for answers. Brian attempts to develop a clear definition for each stage by witnessing both the…

    Inherit the Wind, based on the famous "Scopes Monkey Trial" in the small town Dayton, Tennessee, was written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. The play was not intended to depict the actual history or the proceedings in the Scopes' trial but it was used as a vehicle for exploring social anxiety and ant-intellectualism that existed in the Americas during the1950s. Lawrence and Lee wrote the play as a response to the threat to intellectual freedom presented by the anti-Communist hysteria of the McCarthy era. The major themes depicted in the Inherit the Wind include the intellectual curiosity, narrow-mindedness or limited perception, the importance of religion, and the relationship between the perception of others and self-worth portrayed…

    The Other Wes Moore

    My life can be closely related to the life of Wes Moore’s. Even though I did not lose my father at a young age, the admiration for my father is just as big as Wes’s. When I was a toddler, I wanted to be just like my father. I tried to do almost everything that he did. I even appreciated some of the things that he liked and did, so I could be just like him. While growing, I hit a stage where I started to think that being like my father was not such a good thing. I began thinking that I didn’t want to be like him at all, because he was a big disciplinarian. I thought that once I reached adulthood, I would be too hard on my children if I followed in his footsteps. As I continue to mature, I’ve noticed that he does this to bring out the best in me, and without him I would not be the person I am today.…

Now, my family is really goofy and all so that's why he calls us the Firkus Circus! We are so goofy that we are like a pack of baby wolf pups the never stop playing! When we get the chance to spend time as a family we always take it. In my opinion, Dan is one of the funniest, coolest, and most goofy dads you will ever meet! Now, let’s move on to what he does in his spare time. This is probably one of the things he does the most, he plays Asphalt 8 on his phone! He is like a geeky nerd who is addicted to the games on phones! Daniel also like spending time with family, riding his motorcycle, and my dad sorts out his tools and stuff in his garage! We spent a lot of time together when i was little because Dan had cancer and my mom was working, so that is really important to me. I love him because he helps me through fun and rough times. He also helps me with my homework even if he isn’t good at it. My dad likes Chevrolet, and motorcycles that look awesome! He also likes elephants, and classic muscle cars! What he doesn’t like is Ford’s, rude people, and drama! He also doesn’t like dirty litter boxes! Who does? I would describe him as awesome, generous, funny, and especially goofy. Now you’ve meet my…
