... character. In the beginning of the novel, on page 34, he tells Scout “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” He manages to do this even though it means going against most of his neighbours and his family. Which shows that Atticus is a man of strong morals and principles and a man who will stand up for what he believes is right.

... attitude or will of a man is good or evil. Epictetus believes that unhappiness is caused by wanting and craving what is beyond our power. So, if we simply bring an end to such wantings and cravings, we will bring an end to suffering and we will be happy. As I understand it, Epictetus clearly distinguishes between the external and the internal body: The outer body is subject to circumstances such as illness, torture, personal losses etc. The inner body, however, is completely in our own control.

Thoreau is saying that all people, rich and poor, young and old, fritter their lives away with detail, instead of being concerned with the big picture.

... In this essay I will first examine the captain's portrayal of Leggatt, then argue that Leggatt is none of these, rather, he is a complete person in and of himself, and not simply part of the captain's personality deficiencies. At first glance it would seem that Leggatt is either the antagonist or provides a criminal influence on the captain. By no means are Leggatt's decisions and actions exemplary. Murdering mutinous crew members is hardly an acceptable practice, and avoiding justice, and one's punishment—all of which Leggatt do—only worsen the issue. The captain claims that in swimming to the island Ko ...
