As the novel progresses Eli sees more of his people suffer unspeakable events. He begins to question what kind of God can let this happen,he begins to doubt God.

    Courage: The Rarest Virtue

    Courage is often called “The Rarest Virtue”, mostly because it is identifying things that frighten or challenge us and facing them with confidence and bravery. A small number of people fully accomplish this. Unfortunately, many do not choose to face tough situations, instead they walk away. Very few people actually choose to act with courage and confront the circumstances.…

    The Importance Of Will: A Hero's Journey

    Youth adult writer Brodi Ashton once proclaimed, “Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with.” Anyone can be a hero, one only needs the will to do so. Throughout history, archetypal heroes such as Superman from DC comics, have outrageous physical capabilities and superior intelligence. Although these two descriptions may correspond to several heroes, all true heroes have the will to act and persevere, and that is what makes them renowned heroes. But why is ‘will’ so valuable? Well, when one gazes upon the challenges an epic hero undergoes, it becomes obvious. Writer and lecturer Joseph Campbell studied the journeys of multiple epic heroes until finally he made a philosophy called the mono-myth or hero’s journey. This mono-myth consists of twenty five challenging steps, pushing heroes to their limit. However, not so much their physical limit as opposed to their will to act.…

    Philosophy Of Resilience

    Resilience has a different meaning to different people. Personally, I view resilience as a preventative approach as a result of inflicted threats. The concept affects the entire ecosystem which is outlined by Urie Bronfenbrenner; from the individual to the Macrosystem. The determination of resilient practices depends on the context in which it occurs. Historically, resilience has been labeled as a deficit-based approach to overcoming adversity (Masten, 2001). Today, researchers and other professionals recognize resilience is more effective when applied through strengths-based approaches reassuring potential to “overcome” and “succeed”. Through “compassion” and “respect” resilience can be achieved.…

    Strength in what remains

    In the book “Strength in what remains” by Tracy Kidder, the main protagonist named Deo was a man that faced many hurdles in his life. From escaping the Genocide in Rwanda and Burundi, which was because of the domestic racial dispute between Hutus and Tutsi (groups of ethnic people) to his time in New york. Deo faced insurmountable odds and opposition. Despite this set back, it seemed as if providence was on Deos side, granting him countless fortunes and blessings. Many different factors can be attributed to Deo’s success but nevertheless, luck and his hard work was what paved his path forward. To attribute all of Deo’s success to luck would be to undermine the sheer willpower he possesses and his willingness to fight for his dreams. Deos experience with Mohammad and McKenna shows us glimpses of the drive he has to achieve success. His self-motivation and character is what ultimately led him to achieve the goal he set for himself. The reason for the overwhelming amount of people trying to help him were not only based on luck, but also based on Deo’s personality, his beliefs which he obtained from his parents, and those that he held on his own.…

    Overcoming Failure

    I believe that the American Dream is something that people can still achieve. Although it isn’t something that you can grab however,and perchase. Indeed you have to earn it. You may fail before accomplishing the American Dream. Just because you fail doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish your dream you can always try something different and still be successful. However, don’t let anyone or anybody destroy your dream or ever tell you that your not going to amount to anything because that’s not true. I can refer to this beacause Bill Gates and President Barack Obama is an prime example of the American Dream. Barack Obama didn’t have that problem he believe his teachers and family told him that he would be successful. On the other hand Bill Gates did kids at school criticized and laughed at him calling him dreadful names. But that did not stop Gates from accomplishing his dream. He kept pursuing his dream and at the end of the day when it was all said and done Bill Gates became successful.…
