Summary Of Dr. Rameck's The Pact

In “THE PACT; “George Jenkins, Sampson Davis, and Rameck Hunt are African young boys that faced a lot of difficulties throughout their teenage life. These boys were raised in a bad neighborhood in Newark New Jersey, and their surroundings where a bad influence on their judgments which made it even harder for them not to get in trouble. They were all struggling financially and money was really hard to get at that time. Their parents tried to help them overpass all the negative things they were exposed to when they were at the same age. These boys were self motivated and they had the ability to inspire each other because

“The Pact” is a piece of nonfiction by Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt it’s about three people grew up in the intercity and made a pact to go to college and become doctors. The theme of “The Pact” is loyalty because the novel demonstrates that quality in many ways. Being loyal means that you don’t turn your back on your friends, and that you will accept your friends for who they are and what they do. If someone is loyal they are faithful and they never give up on something if they truly love it. Loyal also means that you are have good character, and try and help people in need. This novel demonstrates loyalty because Sam, George, and Rameck all show that trait. They are good friends and will

Ever since the beginning of time, love has played an enormous role among humans. Everyone feels a need to love and to be loved. Some attempt to fill this yearning with activities and possessions that will not satisfy – with activities in which they should not participate and possessions they should not own. In Andrew Marvell’s poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” the speaker encounters an emotion some would call love but fits better under the designation of lust for a woman. In contrast, the speaker of Robert Herrick’s poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” urges virgins to marry, to make a lasting commitment in which love plays a

The novel The Pact which was read over the summer by Penn State students was considered interesting to some and dull to others. I personally enjoyed the book since I could relate to the book in more ways than one. The story takes pace in an inner city setting with three young men who become doctors and plan to give back to the community in any way they possibly can. The three young men are known as Sam, George and Rameck. Each of these characters posses a different personality which contributes to the book as a whole.

Marriage unites two people for better or worse, in sickness and health, until death they do part. In earlier times, some people might say wedding vows were taken more seriously; other say divorce was different back in the day. Looking at Katie Chopin and Nathaniel Hawthorne, who both exemplify martial vows in their short stories, “The Story of an Hour” and “The Birthmark.” It is clear in one instance, it was because divorce was different but then on the other hand the stories demonstrate the seriousness of the wedding vows. However, these stories express a husband-dominated relationship, in which the men possess ideals such as possession, perfection, and being all knowing.

“You are always insane when you are in love (Friedlander).” The meaning of true love is the way a person feels about another person and the actions that person takes to prove his or her love. “Love is pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow. It has long been held that what you love can hurt you, in almost equal reciprocity. The more you love, the more you can get hurt. The more you love, the more you stand to lose (Black).” Often a person will give gifts and never express his or her feelings out loud. The purpose of his or her love would feel as if the love was being bought. “Money does not give joy. Material wealth does not give joy. It gives convenience, yet often takes way from love. How many rich people seek so hard and far, yet never find it (Black).” A person wants to be told that he or she is loved. Helena wants Demetrius to love her. Demetrius’ love for Helena is not true love though. It is misleading because the loving affection he has for her is not reality.

DRUGS AND VIOLENCE! Did I grab your attention? Well, that also caught the attention of Newark’s residents in the 80’s and 90’s. “The Pact” by Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt, is a novel about three young men who overcome multiple obstacles and odds during the crack epidemic of the 80’s-90’s. They eventually become doctors together and prove that you can achieve anything no matter your upbringing, and through hard

First, Dr. Sam, George, and Rameck were born in poor families. They grew up in poor, broken homes in New Jersey neighborhoods riddled with crime,drugs, and death. Dr. George said, “Most kids, rich or poor, spend more time with their friends than with their parents.”, “They’re together all day at school.”, “They’re together in the neighborhood after school.”, “And they’re together on the weekends.”, “Maybe they even spend their summers together at summer camp.”. So that means friends are really affecting their lives. It is really important to hang out with the right people, which friends should deal with?, and which should not? Like Dr. George didn’t want to be in trouble, so he had to hang out with

Harwood throws the readers the suggestions to acknowledge the most unlikeable elements of marriage and love. The truth that a woman’s self in Harwood’s time would be completely lost with her wedding vows. This becomes equally relevant to date because of questionable equality between the sexes. Harwood is therefore condoning the practices that endorse

Some of the things that Rameck, Sam, and George, the three boys in The Pact, were tempted with have occurred with my friend named Paul. Things such as temptations involving drugs, family issues, and the ways of life of the family. Paul's parents both dealt and did drugs, this made it hard for Paul to deviate from this kind of life. As time progressed he soon picked up the “family business” and started heading down the wrong path in life. These temptations to follow in the path of Paul's parents footsteps were very much the same as the temptation in which George, Rameck, and Sam had, which were the constant pressure from society and family.

In addition to the silly depiction of Carol and Howard as people who so dread public humiliation as singles that they gladly agree to attach themselves to the first appropriate suitor, Gallant also employs an ironic tone and various figurative terms of language to comment on the laughable yet somewhat pathetic circumstance in which the couple find themselves. Many distinctions are made between the ?illusion? of love as a wonderful thing complete with ?violets,? a ?misty background,? and the romantic ?moonlight,? and the actuality of a practical marriage. Though not every proposal can be so romantic, Gallant deliberately emphasizes the underwhelming quality

When she looks around America that is not what she sees. The second example Fuller gives is of "idolatry"(42). By this example she means the people who get lost in the physical beauty of one another. They think they love one another, but they are actually lusting after one another. They can think of nothing but each other, nothing else seems to matter to them, and they don’t care what others think because they know they are in love. The relationship is as superficial as the people involved in it. But as Fuller infers, in a relationship such as this, the looks will begin to fade and the feelings will be sure to follow. Because the relationship was formed solely on the basis of looks, the marriage will have nothing to fall back on. We must remember that this is not the year two thousand, where divorce is as common as marriage itself. When they said "till death do us part" in the nineteenth century, they meant it. In the end of this example says Fuller, the woman will look at the man as "an effeminate boy", and he will see her as "an unlovely syren"(42). In the long run, she will not respect him as a man, because she considers him a "pretty boy", and he will not respect her for using her looks to dupe him into marrying her. They will resent each other for the rest of their lives. They

“Do not be concerned about the future; keep your attention on today, and stay in the present moment. Just live one day at a time. Always do your best to keep these agreements, and soon it will be easy for you. Today is the beginning of a new dream.”

In Christopher Marlowe’s play, Doctor Faustus, the idea of repentance is a reoccurring theme with the title character. Faustus is often urged by others to repent his decision to sell his soul to the devil, but in the end he suffers eternal damnation. Faustus was resigned to this fate because he lacked the belief in his soul of God. He was once a moral and devout man, but greed led him to sin.

    In the opening sequence of the film, the viewer is immediately presented with an image of marriage as entirely contractual: "Today he married me to a man I've not yet met." The protagonist, although she has already been established as strong-willed and non-conforming, is accepting but not altogether optimistic about the arrangement. The viewer also learns that she
