She tries to get both those who care to change the world and those who have the knowledge to do so together. In order to accomplish this, Joy Castro asks for everyone to compromise, meet halfway. It is necessary for both sides to respect the other side and try to accommodate for the difference. On the side of those who have not gone to a higher level of education, they must be shown the relevance and importance of the knowledge offered by the scholars. Though this must be done carefully because “if we make them feel stupid, inadequate, and

Crumpler’s love for aiding others came at a young age and inspired her career. Her first working experience consisted of helping neighbors alongside her aunt in Pennsylvania. “Her aunt frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler accompanied her aunt on these trips” (Rothberg). Aiding those in need of medical attention was an introduction to Crumpler’s life devotion, at a young age. This early working experience inspired her studies in college.
Clara Barton once said, “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” Not only was Clara Barton a volunteer nurse during the Civil War who exceeded her mandatory duties, but she is also the Founder of the American Red Cross. Throughout her life, she accomplished many amazing things. Her achievements were not due to pure luck, they were earned through hard work and dedication to her aspirations.

Upon choosing my fourth song, I thought of the portion of the novel where Janie begins to grow doubt following her current friendship with Tea Cake. The main reasons for this sprouting emotion include the age gap between them and her unwillingness to pursue a relationship with him for fear of him messing with her feelings. Over the course of the next few days in the story, Tea Cake reassures Janie of his pure intentions even though she remains skeptical. In order to express his affection towards her, Tea Cake invites Janie to a picnic at the end of the chapter where she continues to question him by saying he could bring any woman he wants and states he does not have to bring her along just to show kindness. With correlation to their back and

Retired teacher, writer and this years volunteer of the year, this woman is one busy lady. Helping out within every department in the American Red Cross, it’s been said that Mary McLintock could practically run the place herself. She doesn’t rest until the job is done, giving each task 100%. At 100 years old one could say Mary McLintock is keeping her self entertained. I think Mary McLintock’s story would be ideal for the Buffalo News Newspaper.
She also gave speeches and lectures about what others could do in order to help and protect ones less fortunate. Despite her older age, she continued to show others how selfless she was and how proved just how devoted she was to improving as many people’s lives as she could. She put almost all her time, energy, and heart into countless humanitarian causes and gradually became a known symbol of charity and self-sacrifice. She was so generous and kind-hearted that she never took a pay for her job as president of the American Red Cross. Instead, she often used the money to support people involved in disasters.
The Friendships of Guy Montag Friendship is a tricky thing for Guy Montag, in Fahrenheit 451. In the beginning, he considers himself to have friends, but he quickly realizes that his “friends” are not what they seem. Ray Bradbury leaves the topic of friendship up for discussion, because he wants his readers to figure out the meaning of friendship by themselves. Friendship is defined as the mutual trust and support between two people (Dictionary.com). Guy Montag can only say he has this with about three people.
“We cannot tell the precise moment when a friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last one which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.” Montag reads this definition of friendship from a book as he and Mildred were going through the books hidden behind the ventilator. This definition shows that Montag made several friends throughout the book including Faber, Clarisse, and Granger. But, Beatty was not his friend because he tried to hurt Montag and stop him from reading books.

Joy/Hulga from O’Connor’s short story “Good Country People” is a sarcastic and cynical protagonist, who claiming that she doesn’t believe in anything, as her mother, Mrs. Hopewell said to Manley, “My daughter is an atheist and won’t let me keep the Bible in the parlor.” (O’Connor 224) Also, Joy/Hulga tried to express herself to Manley as her being a strong, smart, and independent woman that only believe herself, “I don’t have illusions. I’m one of those people who see through to nothing”(O’Connor 231) However, at the end of the story, the readers can discovered that Joy/Hulga was just a weak innocent woman who failed to see the real world that is a mixture of good and evil and destroyed her belief through her lack of self-awareness that being used by Manley. Joy is thirty-two years old woman with an artificial leg who is highly educated with a doctorate degree in philosophy, and thinks that she is smarter and better than anybody else. The readers can find the evidence of Joy being arrogant from what O’Connor said about her, “If it had not been for this condition, she would be far from these red hills and good country people.
