This is about a man named Mike. Now, you may be wondering how interesting a story about a man named Mike could possibly be. The truth is, not very, not until this point in his life at least, at his age of thirty five. Mike has been quite normal all of his life.
He started out as a baby, and quickly grew up. He stayed in school, said no to drugs, went to college, and got a teaching degree. All Mike knew was school, and he frankly didn’t mind it. He didn’t see any reason why not to work there as well. So, Mike became a school teacher, a fairly good one too. The students liked and respected him. The same went for his coworkers. Everything went very well for him after that. He bought a nice house, married his pleasant girlfriend and had two healthy children, a boy and a girl.
Mike named his son after his father and his daughter after his wife’s aunt, or something. Well, I believe it was something along the lines of that. Well, his wife said that her aunt was a role model to her growing up, and she passed away while his wife was in her twenties unexpectedly. To be honest, that’s probably not what actually happened. You see, I’m just going off Mike’s memories here, and if he doesn’t remember or care, I’m the one left with a whole in the story. I make things up every once in a while, so sue me!
Anyways, like I said in the first paragraph, Mike was very normal until the age of thirty five. Now, this didn’t happen on his thirty fifth birthday, like a mid-life crisis or something. It didn’t even happen in the morning, like he woke up feeling differently, or even while he was teaching, like as if he came to a sudden epiphany. No this abnormality came just as the dismissal bell rang.

I personally don’t think any medical officials would guess Mike was a dragon, but they could. There might also be same kind of rare disorder in which people do these kinds of things like Mike, just out of the blue.
Anyways, I guess I’m done with this story. To tell you the truth, I’ve never ended a story before now. All I’ve really done is follow Mike around until this point, but I don’t know where he is. Wait, is he dead? No, I’m sure he’s fine. He’s off doing things Mike does now, like being a dragon; however you choose to interpret it. Look how far we’ve come, all the way from a trout to a dragon. Way to go Mike.
I suppose you want me to officially end the story now. How do narrators usually end things? By saying The End? Yea, The End, that’s good.

The part of Mike seems to be the most likely of the characters to be the mouth piece for the shows creators, writers and producers. Rarely is Mike made to look silly or ignorant. On occasion Archie will have the upper hand but for the most part when Mike and Archie are debating, Mike through a well articulated view is usually the victor.
The battle of fact versus coincidence has been around since long before any of us were born. Believers argue that everything in life has brought them to their present situation while skeptics may be more reluctant to give into the notion of a predetermined fate. However, everyone questions whether or not fate might actually be true at least once in their life. At the beginning of Oedipus the King, Oedipus did not believe in fate. He thought he could escape his destiny by running away from Corinth after he discovered it was his fate to kill his father and marry his mother. Mike Church, the private detective in the movie Dead Again, is called to a catholic orphanage to assist in finding an amnesiac's family. Unknown to Oedipus and Mike, this would be the start of what both men were destined to do. Stories like Oedipus the King and Dead Again both illustrate the irony of mans struggle with predetermined fate through the eyes of a skeptic.

Michael soon decides that if he can trust Joe enough to keep in silence, he may be able to out wit the police. When Michael makes his decision, he never considers the ramifications that will come of it. For example, Michael never even considers the long agonizing nights he will stay awake or the ling pain filled days he will go through thinking of Jenna Ward and her mother suffering day after day. On the contrary, Michael thinks he will be able to just move on and forget about it.
He had been scared about being at the bottom of the food chain again. He pulled through well, but had a couple of social issues as this stage in his life progressed. For example, he had some experiences with peer pressure by his fellow classmates. It was important for him to go through this, because he needed to learn about standing up for what he believes in.
In the movie, Mikey had a lot of individuals, such as peers and family members surrounding him on a daily basis that influenced his life in several ways. Mickey would get to play and socialize with other children when Mollie took him to the playground to play in the sandbox. That was the time when Mikey could be understood by the other babies when he used his inner voice. One day at the playground, Mikey was told by some of the other babies what daddies were, and then Mikey started realize that he wanted to have a dad too. Mikey soon realized that James would be a good father for him, and wants Mollie to make James his dad. Mikey gets to hear from his playmates what is going on in their households, and he realizes that he is missing one part of a family that his friends enjoy a lot, which are their fathers. If Mikey’s friends did not have fathers, then Mikey would not have even thought about a dad until later in life. Peers have a big impact on children when growing up. Kids love to compare different aspects in life and want to be equal. The inner most level of the environment is the Microsystems. Children physical attributes, personalities, and capacities affect adults’ behaviors, but adults affect children’s behaviors as well (Berk, 2013). Therefore James and Mollie were both involved in influencing Mikey’s life equally as an infant. Mollie wanted Mikey to be in a successful environment with the executive, Albert, so that Mikey could be influenced by him, but Mikey had been exposed to James more, even though he was not the biological father. Mikey developed similar characteristics from James since that was the male figure that he was around the most. Mikey enjoyed playing with cars and pretending to drive because he was used to seeing James drive the taxi majority of the

This is where he fell in love with the game of football and he knows that to play in the pro league, he had to improve his education. He received educational support and it was critical since he did not develop education prior to living the the Tuohy’s. Moreover, when having a conversation with Leigh Anne Tuohy, his adopted mother, about his football decision, she replies: “It’s your life, Michael, it’s your life” (Hancock, Netter, Smith,..., 2010). Michael comes to the understanding that his identity as a Tuohy, a black male, and a football player, does not have to come with any pressures or expectations (Kim, 2017). He realizes that he is able to decide for himself who he wants to be, and chooses to attend University of Mississippi and accept his football scholarship . This is essential on his development because his choice to focus on athletics, improve his GPA, and choosing a school to attend and play football allows Michael to develop a sense of identity and

Morrie and Mitch’s relationship went far beyond that of a teacher and student. It turned into a friendship between two men. Morrie taught Mitch innumerable lessons about the world, feeling sorry for oneself, regrets, death, family, emotions, fear of aging, money, how love goes on, marriage, culture, forgiveness, and saying good-bye. Morrie never wanted sympathy from Mitch; only an open mind and heart. Morrie discussed his philosophies on life with Mitch and encouraged him to do the same. Morrie shared his strengths and his weaknesses with his student, allowing him to open up to his old professor in a way that would help him to recharge his existing life.
She did not mind that people in general would question the fact that she didn’t take her husbands name, but the fact that her children began asking for explanations of why her last name differed from theirs and their fathers bothered her. For this reason, it made her feel quite uneasy about not thinking her decision through. She felt like her son was trying to make sure that she was one of them, which she was, but yet she was not at the same time. She states “ When I made this decision, I was part of a couple. Now, there are two me’s, the me who is the individual and the me who is part of a family of four, a family member of four in which, in a small way, I am left out.” She also mentions that it never occurred to her that when she decided not to stand underneath her husbands umbrella, that she would be the only one left
