Being a Good Person

A list of traits a good person would have: Kindness, hardworking, respectful, had their own belief, obeyed authority, helpful.

What it means to be a good person is to be respectful toward others, and to help those in needs. To be a good person is to not be selfish, but do things for others, for the greater good. Being a good person means that you do what you're supposed to do, and not expect anything in return. You do things because you like to do them, not because you were told to do it or were forced to do it. Good people are polite and care about others.

I think some characters in our texts lack the "selfless" trait. I think a lot of the characters are selfish and only really care about what's good for them, rather than seeing the whole picture. Trying to think of every single character that I came across over the course of the semester is tough, but from those that I can remember I think that's the main thing, is that a lot of the characters were too selfish and the story line forced them to be selfish or do things their way rather than doing things for everyone. But most stories go like that.
