Carson is straightforward in his answers because he believes that his own option and beliefs are more important than others. Determination drives Carson, on the fact that only he can control his life, and he is able to determine what counts in life. Meyers portrays Carson in this way to show that he stands by his opinions no matter how harsh it comes off, to other people; “I don't want a win the lottery. I want a ranch. Far as I’, concerned, this ain't somethin we oughta even think about” (Meyers 309). Through using this quote, Meyers is able to show the significance of the entitlement Carson develops along the way. To an independent and firm holder, Carson develops a way of not only speaking for himself, but by the way he talks to other people. Carson is focused on seeing only one way to solve a problem. Through setting his mind on one thing, Carson is able to believe in himself and for him to

Values create motivation within a person to act in a situation for someone who does not seem to be asking for it. An example of this is shown in the novel, “There Will Be Wolves” by Karleen Bradford.

In their journey, people will learn how to show importance to anyone. Some people do not realize the things they do are wrong that have good intentions for someone.
The November ninth episode plays a clip from an O’Reilly Factor episode that aired on April twelfth, 2011. In the 2011 footage, O’Reilly states: “The Factor investigation also showed that Mr. Obama was born in a Honolulu hospital and we stand by our reporting” (qtd. in “The O’Reilly Factor”). At the time in 2011, the news cycle was dominated by the “birther” controversy. The demand for President Obama’s birth certificate was heavily brought on by Republicans trying to discredit President Obama’s legitimacy. O’Reilly, labeled as a strong Republican, was actually one of the most outspoken commentators against the birther movement. O’Reilly’s denunciation of the birther movement is an example of his rejection to partisan agendas. In fact checking O’Reilly’s November Ninth episode, O’Reilly states the news reporters that have produced stories discrediting Republican candidate Ben Carson, in regard to his violent past, have been carless, especially since the information is easily accessible (“The O’Reilly Factor”). In a May 11, 1997 Parade article, Ben Carson’s mother, Sonya, confirms Ben’s narrative when asked about the story of Ben attempting to stab a classmate (Ryan 7). The statements made by O’Reilly are accurate and he takes pride in his
Robertson said he likes Ben Carson for some of the same reasons, and then elaborated further on Trump:
A single person can influence your life and alter it permanently, either in a good way or a bad way. Wolf Hollow, by Lauren Wolk, is about the story of a twelve year old girl, Anabelle McBride, living on a farm with her family during World War II in the year 1943. She lived a regular life, attending school, having to deal with her two little brothers, and always wondering about the mysterious war veteran with guns slung over his shoulder, Toby. This was all until a new girl arrived in their town, whose name was Betty Glengarry. She was sent there to live with her grandparents because she was “incorrigible,” and caused trouble in her old town. The appearance of this girl precedes a plethora trouble in everyone’s lives. She threatens
After speaking for thirty minutes, Carson took questions from the audience. One supporter asked Carson if he is too nice to become president in which the crowd erupted in laughter. “I have heard many people say, ‘You have to be more bombastic, and you have got to yell and call people names and jump and act like a buffoon,’” Carson
“I’m not smart enough to know—to explain the Trump or Carson phenomenon yet,” Bush says, before praising the retired neurosurgeon leading nationally in the GOP polls.
Lynn Woolley, the writer of this article, starts his argument sdaying “Jeb Bush has a huge campaign war chest, and he is beginning to use it. For someone like me and probably you, that means nothing. My decision on Jeb Bush was made long ago. The decision is “no” and it is not going to change. But Mr. Bush and the rest of the field knows that most people are not like us. Most people are not paying attention”.
He said he once tried to hit his mother over the head with a hammer over a clothes dispute and, that while in the ninth grade, he attempted to stab a friend who had changed the station on the radio; the blade broke in his friend's belt buckle.[7][8][9] After this incident, Carson said that he began reading the Book of Proverbs and applying verses on anger. As a result, Carson states he "never had another problem with temper".[10][11][12] Some of these narratives were challenged during his campaign in 2015. For example, nine friends, classmates and neighbors who grew up with Carson told CNN in 2015 that they did not remember the anger or violence that Carson has described; all expressed surprise about the incidents that Carson said had
The way Chris Wallace interviewed Ben Carson seemed to reflect his personal views on the earlier statements made by Dr. Carson. His opening statement, “So you say you are learning not to be so inflammatory in the language that
While he wasn’t questioned as intensely or as often as others, Carson was not only an African American republican which called for positive publicity on the party’s behalf but a purely logical candidate. When first asked if he would really be electable due to his confusion of members of legislature and their positions, he responded with saying that a small confusion was irrelevant. I can relate, in a similar manner, for which at times I find myself getting people of scientific accomplishments mixed up. His manner was calm, cool, and logical and was further shown by his prioritization to a responsible, creative and innovative candidate. When candidates Kasich and Carson were asked about the preparation to go against Clinton, the latter had said he was prepared because whatever the outcome may be trust could be given to the voters of America to be smart and move forward with personal growth for the benefit of the
“It’s we the people who really have the power and this is the message that I am going to be taking across the nation to try to help the people of America recognize that we still have the ability to dictate the course of our country and save it for the next generation,” Carson said. “Our nation is very close to going off the cliff and… we need is recognition of the fact the way our country was designed, it was designed for citizen statements not career politicians. Right now there is a political class that consist of Washington establishment and the news media and the pundits. And they believe that they have complete control of our country.”
With his father not present, Carson was raised by their mother, who worked two or three jobs at a once, usually as a family servant. Since they were poor, all relied on food stamps and other government assistance. Ben Carson had a very bad temper, in his book “Gifted Hands”, with a hammer, he tried to hit his mother on the head only over a clothing disagreement. Around ninth grade, he attempted to stab a friend, only because he changed the station on the radio. Luckley, the blade hit the classmates belt buckle and did not actually touch the student. The only answer that came to mind was God. He ran to his home after knowing what he did, locked himself in the bathroom with a bible. Cried and pleaded. Ben did not have the greatest childhood, but over all led him to where he is now.
In Gifted Hands Ben Carson becomes a successful neurosurgeon in life.I believe that these topic`s are important to succeeding in life.Some people have the qualities and are well known across the world.THINK BIG is the guide to Ben`s successful life.The three most important topic`s in Ben`s motto “THINK BIG”,talent, honesty,and knowledge.
