Bystander Book Report

From his speech “so I insisted on giving her enough money to keep her going”. Being brought up in a family where his father strongly believes in a man has to be responsible for himself and his family, Eric tried to imitate his father, being a responsible figure, and may also want the public to finally give him some respect. From the fact that he did not want other people to know that he was in a relationship with a worker girl, shows that he wants respect from the society. From his act of stealing money through precise plans, which the Birling family would not discover if the inspector is not here for inquiry, which shows like his father, he is extremely concerned with his public image and his

Eric had some trouble with his life. From a young age Eric was taught to kill, and let no traitor survive. “He and his father had to leave their homes in Norway in a hurry because of some killings” (Dr. Anne Millard page 22). His family was exiled from Norway. Eric had to go to “court”. Even though Eric had trouble in his life he worked through it all, and make a big impact in the history of

“Eric?” “I know these guys, Mom. It’s okay. I got it.” ... Eric stood eyeing the three boys. “We were thinking, that is, me and Hakeem and Cody, that, um—” Pat floundered. “We found out about what happened to your bike,” Hakeem explained. “It’s not right,” Cody stated, glancing down at Eric’s feet. He looked up. “We told Griffin that he went too far.” “You did? How’d that go over?” This is shown on Kindle location 1894. This shows the consequence of Eric's actions. Eric's thoughts that later lead to his actions are shown in this scene "OVER THE REST OF THE WEEK, ERIC WITNESSED A NUMBER of incidents that involved David Hallenback. Mostly stupid stuff, nothing that seemed all that bad, like somebody reaching out to flick David’s ears as they passed in the hallway, or another guy stepping on the back of his sneaker, giving David a flat tire. Maybe it had been going on since the beginning of September—or maybe even for years—and Eric hadn’t really noticed. But now when he walked down the hall, Eric’s eyes were open. He saw that David Hallenback—that weird, awkward, mush-faced kid—was having a pretty rough time." (Loc. 809)This clearly shows how Eric is thinking about helping and

Although Birling got told by Sheila about Eric's drinking through "you're squiffy" Arthur merely ignored it to then carry on with his speech. This display avoidance and very minimal care towards Eric's health. Therefore as Eric pursued his drinking it led him to the involvement with Eva/Daisy which caused further friction between him and his father. Within act three we found out that Eric is the father of Eva/Daisy's baby and through the reaction of Arthur we know that their relationship is very dysfunctional. His initial reaction was towards Eric stealing money from his business and not for the fact that he is the father of the baby this is a clear example of

They both accept the fact that they have done something wrong, while the Birling parents think that everything was just a joke. Sheila says « nothing to learn » saying that even if Inspector Goole wasn’t real everyone did something wrong. Eric says that the girl he knows is dead, meaning it doesn’t matter which girl he went to bed with, he help to kill a

In this period of time, we can see that men and women were supposed to step up to their roles in the household, and if you had not you were still considered a child. The audience can see that Eric still has not grown up at the start, as he still makes childish comments, an example that can be shown is, he doesn’t have the simple required mannerisms at the dinner table. This is shown to us as when he suddenly guffaws, and when he asked why he responds with I don’t know – really. Suddenly I felt I just had to laugh. This is the first thing that Eric says, and it immediately tells us that his attitude to life is not too serious and that he is the kind of character to take things lightly. He is a very bored, rather immature and foolish young

Eric is said to be 'not quite at ease'. I do not think that Eric

God bring Eric up higher than He has ever been in Jesus name we pray.

He thought that Anthony was giving a good idea to dispose the gum. Also, when his classmates start agreeing he may thought it would be a good idea and the librarian would love it. This does have bearing with Erik's social status because he is not trying to be the class clown in his class. When students are being sarcastic towards Erik he does not pick upon it which means he do what his classmates say and end up getting laughed at and in

Eric had fantastic evening and he appeared energetic throughout the shift. However, Eric was pacing up and down in his room and Eric did not engage in SIBs or aggressions. Both staffs reported that Eric ate all of his food that were presented to him and consumed a lot of fluids. Eric also took his evening medications. Eric seemed to be in a great mood and no signs of any

After finding out the money was stolen she stopped taking his money. Eric proposed they get married and do the right thing but she refused as she knew he too immature to be a father. At the end of the play he realises his wrong and changes his way:

Knowing the personality characteristics of those who "speak up" helps us understand the phenomenon itself. From an applied perspective, the study of the personality determinants of bystander’s intervention helps us identify the individuals who we can rely on in situations that require intervention. We believe that entity theorists would agree with this statement. But the incremental theorists would bring a new light on this aspect: we can identify the individuals who we can rely on, but also we can develop individuals who can rely on. The students trained to confront bullying and discriminatory behaviors in school (Paluck, 2011) are the proof for this point of view.

Eric was still out with Gregory, but I knew he would be walking in the door shortly. I knew the last thing he wanted to do was to break curfew again.

Eric had three younger brothers who he adored and helped raise when their parents had died. He spoiled them and gave them whatever they wanted. His wife constantly chastised him about it but he would wave her concerns away. He knew his brothers would never betray him after all he done for them. He took them hunting, gave them horses and women, and even a legion of guards for each of them. The brothers, Henry, Jack and John seemed to have it all.

"Okay, EW! I do not like him! We're LESS than strictly platonic. This is for Eric. Just make sure you cover for me."
