Just like how everyone has their own beliefs and morals that mean a lot to them, this quote shows how Delia believes that the  Devil, God, or fate will end up punishing Sykes for all the wrong he's done. This belief helps her survive and gives her emotional strength to carry on in the unhappy union. With the variety of abusive things Sykes does, the only the only possible thing Delia could have done is give Sykes emotional support, or perhaps a hand. Though why should she do that, especially when her husband has never offered any emotional support in fifteen years of marriage. In my perspective, I a hundred percent agree with Delia and how she treats Sykes. Most people have heard the quote “treat people how you would like to be treated,” and

While reading Go Ask Alice there were a few quotes that stood out to me. The first quote says “How is it possible for me to be so miserable and embarrassed and humiliated and beaten and sill function, still talk and smile and concentrate” (Sparks 2). Being that for years I’ve been battling depression, anxiety, and bulimia it’s insane to think that I’m still alive. I sometimes can’t even believe that I am an actual functioning human being. These disorders took over my life and it was hard to try and fight my way out of it and continue living a normal life.

Min is a potter from the town of Ch'ulp'o that processes many weaknesses. One major weakness of Min is that he is too much of a perfectionist. One One quote that shows Min is a perfectionist is "If ever you learn to make a pot it will not be for me... The potter's trade goes from father to son," on page 95 from the book "A Single Shard". This quote proves that Min will always follow the rules regardless of anything else. A perfectionist is one who always follows the rules and needs everything to be exact. The quote above shows that Min will not teach anyone but his own son to make a pot. Unfortunately for Min, his son died. Another quote that one would say proves Min is a perfectionist is "Min never failed to reject his first attempt."

Why can't you be successful? Maybe the only reason people are successful is simply because of luck. Benjamin Franklin once stated that diligence is the mother of good luck.

Martin Luther King Jr was an inspirational figure that became the most visible spokesperson for civil rights movements from 1954 through 1968. Dr. King was a person who did not accept inequalities on other people, always fought for it and showed a great courage all over his lifetime.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.” This speech shows its positive impact by not engaging.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an extraordinary communicator and spiritual leader during the Civil Rights Movement. For example, he once stated: “Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are who you ought to be.

ALthough, teachings of King came a lifetime ago, they are just as prevalent to society as continue to repair, and deal with the losses and questions regarding the future the USA. It's only through the words of King such as, “violence begets violence”, isolationism, and racial profiling can we as a nation heal our wounds, answer our questions, and honor our dead.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero to all, a believer in freedom of all ethnicities. King is a well known black man that has help started, yet, not finished a protest: all men are created equal. Perhaps you know King as the man that ended the black discrimination, but it is still the most unwavered continuity in world history. In 2015, the protests in Baltimore, police officer’s outrage and unnecessary aggression towards the black community, the intended shooting of transgender blacks, the inequality of privilege between whites and black americans, the persistent and permanent stereotype of the black populace. Dr. Martin Luther King has affected the world in terms of equality, but it is our job to finish it.

“Is anyone there” said the woman looking to see if there was ,but all she saw was darkest.

Due to his huge contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. is important to the end of segregation in the United States. He used nonviolence as a way to fight for equality for African Americans. In a book he wrote called Strength to Love he said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Darkness lacks light and more darkness cannot make it less dark, so light is the only thing that can make it less dark. Hate will continue if we do not fight it and the best way to fight it, is with love. If you fight hate with hate things will not be a better place, the world will be filled with hatred and life will be miserable. Fighting with love brings peace. Martin Luther King Jr.

International Financial Reporting Standards and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles do things differently. Each country’s government sets which principles the accountants will use. There are also organizations that have been formed to help with all the confusion between countries. The organizations are called Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). FASB is the organization that has been designed by the US government to establish GAAP in the United States. IASB is the international organization developing and promoting accounting standards to be used throughout the world.
