Ethos In Good Will Hunting

Iconic figures will always have their ups and downs, but their downs are something to remember because of the journey he or she may take to bring his or herself back up. Robin Williams was an actor and also a comedian. He was well known for his roles as the funny characters, that you’d see on Disney.
