Hate is too great a burden to bear.“ - Martin Luther King Jr .This quote is meant to inspire people to think about the good things and not worry about the bad things that are going on in their lives. A quote that Cesar chavez said was “You are never strong enough that you don’t need help.” This is supposed mean that during hard times in life you need to accept help and not do it all alone.…
Kanye West’s 2007 hit song, “Stronger” uses Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”. In his novel, The Happiness Hypothesis, Jonathan Haidt states his hypothesis that people must endure all the hardships of life in order to grow in all aspects. I agree with both Nietzsche and Haidt that through perseverance of all difficulties that occur in life, we can develop a stronger physical, social, mental, and emotional state. I find Haidt’s suggestion interesting because many hardships I have endured and am continuing to endure, prove his suggestion valid.…
“Every day every hour. Turn the pain into power.” Danny O’Donoghue, a vocalist member of the band The Script, sings in “Superheroes” about the strength that comes with overcoming the struggles presented in life; similarly this message can be seen in Ishmael Beah’s recount of the challenges he faced as a victim of war, A Long Way Gone. To me, the song is a reminder of how difficulties can build someone into a stronger person. Throughout the song, all the lyrics hint that without suffer and perseverance, success cannot be achieved. Similarly, in Beah’s story, he becomes a teenager with more fortitude only after breaking down and experiencing immense grief and pain both physically and mentally. From listening to and analyzing “Superheroes” and reading A Long Way Gone, I learn that only after breaking down and…
“Sometimes good comes through adversity. I would not be who I am today had it not been for the internment, and I like who I am. (Asawa)” Adversity is defined as difficulties or misfortune. In the years from 1942 to 1944 over 120,000 American born citizens, of Japanese descent faced an overwhelming amount of adversity when they were placed in a few different internment camp along the west coast of the United States of America.…
When you were growing up as a young adult, who do you think had more influence in your life? Your parents or your friends, or your community maybe even your teachers at school. I know my parents don’t influence me as much as my community. That’s why I think that this quote “It takes a village to raise a child” by Hillary Clinton relates to the book “And Still We Rise”. I think that the quote relates to the book because the students really get shaped by their community and surroundings. I think that the teachers played the role as a part of the “village”. I also think that the community personnel’s affected the student’s life. Lastly but not least, I believe that the friends also a big part of the students “village”. In conclusion I think that there are many factors that make up the “village”.…

In the quote by Martin Luther King about how hate cannot drive out hate, only love can, is the same concept with, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai’s speech to the UN. Her speech expresses her thoughts and drive about education and women's rights. First, a quote from Malala’s speech which is similar to Mr. King’s quote. “We realize the importance of light when we see darkness,” defends King’s quote because she is saying we see the goodness/love in the world when hate is shown. Love does drive out hate. Next, a quote from an unknown author. “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations,” provides a sense of positivity for an end result. Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban because she was sharing her positive…
Many people think that it makes you stronger, but it doesn’t always. I believe they are many points on both sides. To put it in another way, it all depends on the people in the situation and type of conflict. Conflicts are very important to deal with in a daily basis.…
“There are people out there who have a much harder life than I do, and all I can say to them is that they are much stronger than I. To those of you with abusive parents, or school bullies, to the people out there with money problems or fear of the future, to the women with cheating husbands and the men with whoring wives, to the children who think that their lives aren’t worth living, I say to you; keep moving forward. For my sake, and the sake of those who fell to their own hands before me, for the sake of the people who thought life was too scary… keep living!…
The lyrics of the pop song, “Stronger”, by Kelly Clarkson, is highly significant because of its empowering message. The lyrics allow listeners to feel confident about being strong no matter what or who may try to bring someone down, even if it were their own mistakes. To convey this message, Clarkson used many literary devices. For example, in lines like, “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Stand a little taller” there is external rhyme, which makes the song more pleasurable to the ears. Its chorus, “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger” is a metaphor, that refers to the fact the previous mistakes and people that hurt one’s feelings, should making them stronger. The theme of these lyrics is that there needs to be growth…
Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "that which does not kill us makes us stronger." No matter how much one tends to suffer, the experiences can make the person overcome their suffering and become stronger. By looking at A Tale of Two Cities written by Charles Dickens, the truth behind this quotation will be clear, the way Dr. Manette overcomes his past suffering will prove how things that don't kill us makes us stronger.…
