Lessons
What would you give for another chance at life? What do we consider changes? Well for some will give up what they have worked so hard for; their entire life, while others would give up the bare minimum for it. If anyone wants to improve their life, then they must learn how to change and adapt to their new surroundings. When we think about changes, we usually think about taking something negative and turning it into something positive. With every lesson learned there must be a price to pay in order for that improvement to happen. In the novel Life’s Golden Ticket by Brendon Burchard, the protagonist learns how to change his life, to put him on the right path. Dwelling on the past negative events of the past only made it hard to move on, but prevent him from moving on presently. This is an important lesson that the protagonist learns, but he also needs to learn about going forward with a positive attitude, and I will teach him this lesson through my attraction of the rollercoaster.
When someone is being a negative person, they are opposed to changes. In the beginning of the novel, the protagonist starts out closed minded with a negative attitude. The protagonist already decided that the world is a dark and dangerous place, other people are unfair and hurtful, and you yourself are inadequate. He was living his life in a dark and as a puppet to society. He would come home from work in misery, sensor out his fiancé, and added a disclosure sign to his life. In chapter 10, the protagonist learns what caused the negativity in his life and is taught how to deal with it. He defeated his first opponent, but failed to defeat himself. “A mirror image of me stepped onto the deck. He wore the same clothes that I did. He stood the same way I did. He held the same shield and sword” (91) the protagonist is confronted with his negative self. This quote is significant
