When individuals face hardships in life‚ hope is the driving force that motivates one to keep going. As Michelle Obama said‚ “You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once‚ but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own” (Michelle Obama).

I found the last scene particularly intriguing as it left questioning viewers to come to their own conclusions. Children of Men explores the key ideas of hope and faith in the face of futility and despair. The dystopian film is set in 2027‚ in a futuristic society in which humans are unable to reproduce. In the novel this movie is based on author P.D James says‚ “It is reasonable to struggle‚ to suffer‚

"MOTHER TO SON" OF LANGSTON HUGHES "Mother to Son" of Langston Hughes is my favorite. What the mother in the poem tries to tell her son is that there will be many rough roads that he has to go by in his life but she hopes that he will not give and complete it like his mother. Through the dialect that Hughes used in his poem‚ we can see that the mother was not a well educated woman by the way she talks "there ain’t" (13) and some grammar mistakes. She was living a poor area with "boards torn up"

success in efforts. Positive thinking is based on optimism‚ hope and belief that hard work is never wasted. The effects of positive thinking are magical. Psychologists believe that nothing gears up people to make whole-hearted efforts to perform some task as positive thinking. The feeling tones up every muscle of the body and activates every nerve of the mind for a perfect coordination between the body and the mind to do the job when hope enlivens a human being; his/ her efforts become focused and

is a character in a story‚ play‚ or novel that is forever doomed to an undesirable fate. In The Stranger‚ the story’s protagonist Monsieur Meursault would be defined as a "tragic hero". He is eventually doomed to a most horrible fate‚ he feels no hope for himself or his survival‚ and he accepts what he has to do with no question. As a result of the murder that Meursault committed‚ the character is doomed to jail and to eventual execution on a count of murder. Doomed to this fate‚ Meursault finds

Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen or desire to trust. In addition‚ hope refers to African-American slaves wanting to be free or stay alive. Today’s question is hope good or bad‚ it could easily be both based off the kind of hardship the individual slave endured and how long they have left of slavery based off knowing slavery ended two years after the emancipation proclamation the individual might lose hope but they only had a little while left.

Sufferings and misfortunes may loom large on the horizon. They may make life worthless. Despair and disappointment may look endless. It does not mean one should cease to live. Deep and dark clouds of failures may eclipse the sun of success‚ but for how long! Failures and frustrations must give way to hope and happiness. The words of the poet convey a note

The differences in treatment outcomes due to the amount of hope a patient held in “The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness‚” was a perspective I had not yet ruminated. The author‚ Dr. Groopman‚ retold the stories of multiple patients suffering from cancer‚ each showing that hope can have a positive outcome on treatment. This account has shown me that death is inherently a part of life‚ but by instilling genuine hope in a patient and their family‚ their remaining days can be

Morrie S. ~ “Accept yourself‚ your physical condition‚ and your fate as they are at the present moment.” During this quote‚ Morrie is clearly weakening and learning about ALS.

What this quote means to me is more than just talking about you physical ability‚ but also you mental ability too. Another message that speaks to me in this quote is that you can’t pretend to be something or
