"Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other”- Walter Elliot. When Elliot make this observation, he was speaking the truth. Whenever people are forced to complete task after task until their breaking point, their resilience is the motive that keeps them going. Perseverance is a trait that is often played with in stories and novels, authors using it to shape their characters. What better than to mold a character that people learn to care for and relate to than to show how they deal with problem after problem? Examples of this are seen in three different books - Night by Elie Wiesel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and Oblivion by Sasha Dawn. When forced through each wave of rigorous work and torture during his time in the holocaust in Night, Elie Wiesel never gave up, always pushing on. Similarly in Mockingbird, young Scout witnesses multiple life changing events that aim to push her down. However, Scout stays strong, learning and growing from each hardship. Finally, in Oblivion, Calliope's severe condition of graphomania leaves her struggling through her high school life - but despite the hardships she is forced through, she stays focused and determined to find a solution to her struggles. Throughout each book, the characters Elie, Scout and Calliope are pushed and pushed to grow strong skin and persevere through their troubles. As seen in Elie, Scout, and Calliope’s stories, their sense of perseverance is stronger than ever and can help transform the world for the better.

Hey guys! How are all of you doing today?
Have another quick question for y'all...
What innovation has most transformed the world? Why?
I personally think that the idea of helping others is the biggest innovation. It isn't exactly a product, or even a certain invention or thing, but it is an idea that has been transformed over the ages. And it has made one of the biggest impacts. Charities, organizations, benefit events and parties, financial aid, and everything along those lines have been aiming to help those who cannot help themselves. And I think that makes the biggest impact. How can we build our world up when some people are unwilling to help those with less then them? Fortunately, people put time and effort into helping others, into giving people opportunities and aid. That, to me, has transformed the world the most.
