I think my screen name gives this away. Atticus Finch, in To Kill a Mockingbird, inspired my life choice of a career. His inspiration, of course, went far beyond the choice of an occupation, adn goes into the core of his being.
One must stand for something. One must do what is right, even in the face of the prejudices of others, and even when you know you will fail. To give in and to give up is a gift of victory to the forces of darkness. To resist them, even when you know they will win, weakens them, and prepares the stage for victory for what is right and good in the future.

Alexei (Alyosha) Karamozov... from Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamozov." It's funny, in reading the introduction to this novel the author appologizes for the hero (Alexei) because by the standards of most he is quite un-heroic; however, i think that this is one of his best qualities. A gentle person, self-sacrificing, and completely honest (the kind that people like to hear the truth from)...one whose greatest impact on this world is not accomplished through heroic deeds, fierce battles, or anything altogether exciting, but rather through his positive interactions with people. I would love to better represent this character...

fairly frankly, it rather is okay to get caught up in the story of the e book. certainly, that's the better area, and in all possibility what each and every author might choose. in case you're searching for messages, symbolism, etc, they are often fairly obvious in the story. You in basic terms ought to verify greater, study issues in the e book that pastime you, and you'd be greater effectual waiting to greater effectual take excitement in it. i might advise choosing the flaws you delight in concerning the story and looking out up comparable activities, symbols, and see the place that leads you. frequently you will discover those lead back to classic archetypes from mythology, faith, or perhaps cutting-edge memes and activities. it rather is not frequently I say to do your homework, yet i detect if it rather is a few thing exciting, you will do it on your guy or woman besides.
