It's just a little homework assignment, I gotta survey people asking them what "integrity" means to them. Don't look in a dictionary. Just tell me what you think about when you hear that word.

Your help would be greatly appreciated with the following as well.............................
How would you put the following? Please help.

Trait One( a physical description of the character)
He was a huge man, that stood below medium height, he was of average build with a wonderful set of shoulders and a rather large head. He had grey hair and a bony nose and he had beady eyes, with a moustache that appeared to be tobacco stained.


Trait Two( he was a manipulator)
Not many women would be so conveniently sentimental and self sacrificing for the sake of a son born out of wed lock. And that a son a man grown, and a stanger to his own mom. He would not reveal this secret as long as Amelia made him happy and as long as Amelia his loving wife would obey him. becuase if she disobeyed in anyway it would cause him to get very angry and let out poor Amelias secret of her son that was a illigit son.


Trait number 3 - ????
We learn that he cannot be characterized in the term of human virtue or human vice- a man of spiritual counter [part of the land that is as harsh as demanding as a tyrannical as the very soil from which he drew his existence.


Trait 4 He was very hot tempered.

It goes on to make us believe that a Martin did not take the lake road, as he thought with self scathing of his original plan going there to slip down below the willows and around the bend of the cove where he would not be seen by his neighbors. As this had been his fathers secret instructions given to in the boy in full belief that they would obey.He would have to tell his father the truth when he got home and face his fathers towering rage.

trait 5
He was picky as he has every little detail and step that his daughter would take . He would be watching her as if he was a hungry hawke ready for the chance to take an attack on his innocent prey.........................P... help me make this make sense.

We often use the word "man" as an expression (as in "cool, man!"). I don't think it actually means anything, but when I say "man", certain females say "I'm not a man".

Does "man" really mean a "male" in this case? Is it not appropriate to say that to women?
