Webster's dictionary defines ambition as: "<span>a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work." with that being said, there is not necessarily any way to have too much ambition. the most important though, it to have a purpose. Billy Sunday, a preacher from a time passed, once said, "More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent." he is saying that anyone can do anything, given that they put their mind to it. Philippians 4:13 states: "For i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."</span>
Based on this synopsis, heroism is the likely theme used to develop Bilbo's character in The Hobbit.
The singular noun is 'grass'. Eyes are plural, and the words see and green are not nouns. I hope I helped! :)
Since Richard Rodriguez is a writer that emphasized his origins as the son of Mexican immigrants, but nevertheless was raised by the American academia and society. In the essay of Hunger of Memory, he stated how after being part of a socially disadvantaged family, that although it was very close, the extreme public alienation, made him feel in disadvantage to other children as he grew up. Due to this, 30 years later he pays essential attention to how from being a socially aligned to a Mexican immigrant child, he grew up to be an average American man. He analyses his persona from that social point of view of being different in the race but similar in the customs. Hence, the author finds himself struggling with his identity.
A good example of it, it’s the manner he introduces his last name. A Spanish rooted last name, which may seem difficult to pronounce to a native English speaker. The moment the author introduces himself and tries to clarify its pronunciation to an American person, he mentions how his parents are no longer his parents in a cultural sense.
His parents belong to a different culture, his parents grew up in a different context, they were raised with different values and ways; in that sense, Rodriguez culturally sees himself as an American, his education was different to his parents’. He doesn’t see his parents as his culture-educators, he adamantly rejects the idea that he might be able to claim "unbroken ties" to his inherited culture to the ones of White Americans who would anoint him to play out for them some drama of ancestral reconciliation. As the author said, “Perhaps because I am marked by the indelible color they easily suppose that I am unchanged by social mobility, that I can claim unbroken ties with my past.”
