    Another example that illustrates that a selfish deed is not always bad is when Brother takes Doodle to the kitchen in the go-kart for breakfast. Towards the middle of the story, the narrator explains what happen when Brother and Doodle entered the kitchen. Brother said, “At breakfast on our chosen day, when Mama, Daddy, and aunt Nicey were in the dining room, I brought Doodle to the door in the go-cart just as usual and had them turn their backs… I helped Doodle up, and when he was standing alone I let them look” (5). That day at breakfast Brother wanted to show his parents and aunt what he accomplished, and that he would not let Doodle embarrass him anymore because he taught Doodle to walk. Then when his parents saw Doodle walk they couldn’t help but cry and hug Doodle for what he accomplished and Doodle told everyone that Brother taught him to walk and everyone hugged him and cried. The short story written by James Hurst “The Scarlet Ibis” demonstrates a selfish deed is not always…

    While facing a life-threatening illness, one tries to hold on and control things around them. This is very prevalent in Angels in America by Tony Kushner. The hold button that Roy uses contains symbolism in regards to his control over his life and also his control over words and their meanings. Through this, one can see his continuing attempts to gain more control over his life as it is slipping away from him. Not only is Roy’s use of the hold button symbolic of his repressed gay identity, but it also enables him to assert his dominance and control over words and others.…

    1. In Aristotle, the good of man is described as final and self-sufficient. That is, the chief good is something final. This relates well to Uncle Chris throughout the movie. Everyone was scared of him – he drank, he drove fast and was quite brash. However, when he died, his nieces discovered that there was no inheritance, because he had been donating it to children with leg problems so that they didn’t grow up and limp as he did. No one knew, until that moment, that he was spending his money on children that he didn’t even know (aside from his nephew) so that they didn’t suffer the pain that he did. These donations were his chief good, and he could be described as a good man, even with his shortcomings, only after he died. He died happy, with a smile on his face, knowing that he had done a good thing. In all the years that he spent donating, he never asked for recognition or thanks, nor did he WANT anyone to believe he was a good man. This in itself made him good.…

    I have fallen guilty to selfish acts more than I am proud to say. I have underestimated the simplicity of taking a couple seconds out of the day, to act on kindness, towards a complete stranger. With that being said, when I came across a homeless man, leaving Walmart, I had all intentions on doing my first act. As I rolled down the window, to give the man money, I dug through my wallet and realized all I had left was a twenty dollar bill. I looked up to hint I did not have any money, but I could not get myself to tell him no. Along with the sadness and pain you could see in his eyes, there was a sense of hope there as well. I took out the twenty and handed it to him. Never in my life have I been so proud. The warm sensation I got all over, knowing, not only did I shock the man, but I shocked myself, was worth it. No amount of money would compare to the feeling I had right then.…

    Oftentimes, when something valuable is lost, one may begin to realize the importance and value of that article. Although what is lost may never be restored, in its absence, there is a tendency for one to travel deeper into a world of trying to uncover the meaning of its presence and understanding its purpose. In Cry, the Beloved Country, James Jarvis goes through a period of comprehending what his son, Arthur Jarvis, was attempting to accomplish in life. As time passes, Jarvis slowly begins to realize the purpose of his son's life and is touched by his son's efforts in changing a prejudiced society. Alan Paton utilizes James Jarvis as a character that comes out of the darkness and into the light, where he begins to realize the truth about society. Stirred from his son's death, James Jarvis emerges from his dark and traditional world into a world of light where he slowly begins to understand and praise the work of his son and to finish what his son wanted to accomplish.…

    It was ironic to see a man who must have possessed such control be belittled to a mere homeless person. As I pondered what to do, I remembered the sandwich I was carrying. Many people do not realize the importance of giving and often forget that charity is more than performing good acts in a community; it builds one’s own sense of purpose. It allows for a sense of fulfillment. Unfortunately, due to this lack of understanding of such an important task, a term known as “incentive” was created. During an English exam, an essay topic asked students to explain their personal feelings about being influenced by incentives to participate in charity. I found this task most difficult because I lacked personal experience of such “incentives” to draw from. Although was not naïve i n such instances occurring, I was flabbergasted as to why one would accept a “bribe” or even propose such a monstrous idea in order to complete a task of charity. I then came to the realization, if people felt it necessary to resort to such underhanded methods, then it could not and cannot be perceived as truly giving. In my life, I have come to learn that giving means to give without expecting to receive. It is the ability to sacrifice something of yourself in order to serve a purpose or to finish a mission for the greater good. After all, how can one truly give whole heartedly yet demand something in return? In an essay by Jennifer Price “A…

    Life is not always all about receiving; sometimes, we have to think of others, and give back. This summer for instance, I performed a very unselfish good deed that I will never forget. When someone hears "good deed" one might automatically think that it is giving clothes to the naked, feeding the hunger, or donating blood to Red Cross. My unselfish good deed, however, was far from all those things.…
