When Mr. Beuller ignores embarrassing Victor, the boy is somewhat confused by this action. But later, Victor thinks of the teacher as a “good guy”. This action of his tutor boosts him with enormous confidence. The shaky Victor portrayed in the start of the prose fully develops at the end of the story because of the mature behavior of Mr. Beurelle. He is filled with motivational thoughts and optimism which help him get out of the confusion of choosing a new language and doubting his own capability. He also inculcates more confident in speaking with Teressa, at the end.
This proves that if sane behavior and mentality runs through the society, every lazy and unwilling person can be turned up into a workaholic maniac. Everyone requires an individual to guide him/her the path of life, which was very well illustrated through the author’s creation. The thoughtful action by the teacher resulted in Victor choosing three books to learn French that day.
There are no dependent clauses in that sentence. Both "Vampire Diaries is my favorite show" and "I also love True Blood" are independent clauses because they contain a subject and a verb, and could stand alone as a sentence. "but" is a coordinating conjunction that joins the clauses, meaning both are still independent. The coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So ("FANBOYS"). If a subordinating conjunction (such as "although" or "however") were to join the clauses, the clause containing the conjunction would be the dependent.
