Dodger convinced Oliver Twist that he was nothing more than a clever boy and that they were to be good friends. The character Jack Dawkins, or Artful Dodger, in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist possesses character traits with that of someone who is selfish, deceiving, and discourteous. My mentality is focused around seeing others prosper and indulge in happiness, so that I may indulge in theirs. I always have an aching feeling that I need to prove myself as a good friend, and to some it is seen as an annoyance, but this part of me is my greatest strength, and although it seems like an awful habit, I cannot break it. However, I seem lose myself when I can’t seem to make everyone happy, or I can’t help someone be happier. To me, seizing the day means making sure everyone else has the opportunity to seize it as well. I see a lost child found by a lost message: ‘Carpe diem Seize the Day’. I see true innocence shining through from the past. Looking at myself today, I see a person with a twisted past. I always try to put my friends’ needs before mine in order to show my care, even if it means sacrificing something of my own. Every aspect of my personality is based on how I care for my friends. Today, I constantly think about how my friends feel in fear of them going through the same pain I have. My innocence was a gift, and it influenced my optimistic attitude. Having had many terrible days, and often months, I couldn’t think of someone going through the same thing I did. I never liked to see anyone having a bad day. Since I was a child, I always cared for any other kid that seemed to be having a bad day. Focusing on the wellbeing and happiness of others has always been an important part of my life, and a large part of that focus includes trying to find small ways to make another person’s’ day.
