In Markus Zusak's novel "The Book Thief," Zusak showcases the human capacity for goodness rather than simply focusing on our capacity for evil. Zusak chose to showcase how Hans didn't even think and reacted with humanity when "The Jew stood before him, expecting another handful of derision, but he watched with everyone else as Hans... held his hand out and presented a piece of bread, like magic" (Zusak 394).

Glei, and “The Moral Bucket List,” by David Brooks, a person must possess certain qualities in order to achieve ‘success’ in his life. While Glei emphasizes that self-control, passion, and perseverance are the necessary qualities needed to accomplish a person’s dreams, Brook illustrates that the keys to a successful life are the virtues that inspire the inner characters of a person.
