Recommended: Factors of culture that affect an individual's personality development

Responsible: The Mennonite people were all very responsible because they had a lot of chores to do but Peter had to be even more responsible due to the fact that he needed to take care of Katya and his mother during the Russian Revolution.
Middle child
Peter has an older brother and a younger brother.
Playful
Me and Peter both like to have fun, for example Peter likes to have fun with Esch because example they skate together and they also do a horse race. I like to have fun because I like to play sports and play games.
Boy: Me and Peter are both boys.
Different: Me and Peter differ from kids my age. Peter isn't a poor or a slave like normal Russian's and I don't try to be popular or act older like most students in Branton. I like the way that I am and I'm satisfied with myself. I stay humble and I don't show off or brag about myself. I like being different because I get to experience life differently from other people.
Unforgiving: Me and Peter don't forgive people that easily, for instance when my mom makes me angry I stay calm but inside I want to kick the wall and swear at her. When I get easily reminded how people made me angry and the feeling feels like somebody did something wrong and they were too stubborn to say sorry and I get that feeling a lot. Peter is unforgiving because he couldn't forgive the Russian boy that pushed him. I like being unforgiving because it helps me be ambitious, for example when I grow up I want to be someone that changed history because I want to see the faces of everybody that were mean to me. An another positive thing about being unforgiving is that you remember all the times that somebody hurt you and you can use it against people.
Artist: Me and Peter are both good at drawing and painting ...

Russian: Peter was born in Russia and he knows Russian culture. He also knows how to speak Russian.

    When he looks at other Christians who worked for social justice outside of the Mennonite faith and MCC he noticed that their commitment and openness came from deep roots in their Christian traditions, not from ideologies or for seeking recognition. This led Schlabach to the conclusion that we cannot take our Mennonite traditions of service and peace for granted. Mennonites have had a strong sense of service because of the strong support of the church. Schlabach inserts that “our calling is not just to do service activities, but to be a people of

Peter’s house is said to be known as the house-church for early Christians to gather and learn more from Jesus Christ himself. After Jesus was crucified, believers would gather in the hour of Peter to learn more about the teachings of Jesus and learn more about what a follower of Jesus Christ consisted of. Centuries after the death and resurrection of Jesus, Christians built a church on top of the house of Peter to honor the site on which it stood. During the Persian conquest that destroyed most of the city and village, also destroyed some of the church that was built over the house of

    Peter is capable of love and compassion. The reason I say that he's capable of love is when he is saying goodbye to Ender Peter says, “kill some buggers for me!” Which shows that Peter has faith in his little brother and you can have faith in someone if you don't care or love that person. Another reason I say that Peter is capable of love is that he admits that he used to love Ender. But because Ender chooses Valentine and this makes Peter feel very angry and jealous. Peter is capable of love because he's felt love before.

  • The Apostle Peter Research Paper

    540 Words  | 2 Pages

    ‘“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church”’ (English Standard Version, Mt. 16.18). Jesus appointed Peter as the Church’s leader upon its founding. Perhaps this is due to Peter’s outspokenness, for his profession of faith in Jesus was more profound than that of the other apostles, and he was also the only apostle to openly reprimand Jesus. “And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, ‘Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you’” (Mt. 16.22). Moreover, Peter serves as an example of Christ’s forgiving nature because he openly doubted Christ three times, yet Jesus favored him above the other Apostles, nevertheless. Peter’s primacy—and that of his successors, the Popes—is rooted in Christ and is the continuation of Christ’s reign on Earth.
